For some time pant tiro people on
tho lino of tlio narrow gauge road
have been rather despondent because
tho track was laid so slowly, and be
cause false reports about wluit was
being done were spread. It is true
tho track lias been put down s'owly,
but it was delayed on account of much
otlior work which had to bo done pre
paratory to laying iron. As has been
mentioned before, tho grading which
was let to Riohmoud couuty was done
so slowly that every thing was retar
ded, and not until a few weeks ago
could tv largo force of hands he put to
laving track. Last week tho track
was laid from Briar Creek to Dr. Math
is’ plivse. one and a half miles above
S'ellaville, n distance of five miles.
H ire will be n station to bo named
lor tne Doc tar, and one that will do
a great deal of business. The l ail-
road men expect to lay track to Pope
Ilill by the last of this week, and as
soon as the trains run to this place
arrangements are mado for the stow-
ago ot goods, the people of Gibson
vi'l ship altogether from that point
which will add cpiito a deal to the
freight of that road. This road at
first seemed but a small affair, but
since it started, tho White Plains road
sprang up and will bo put through
without doubt, since all the necessa
ry subscriptions havo been gotten.
Tbe YVliite Plains road will cause the
freight on this road to be doubled.
And 1 vtely, a road from Augusta to
Edgefi id, S. C. has been started
with fail prospect, aud as it is not a
),.ug Hue, can be built eaeily. As
these roads will work under tlie A.
G, ,(■ S. system, the narrow gauge
i- iridiiuatiou will be something that
< n compote with the Ga - and Cen
tral with impunity. As the cost of
1 milling aud operating a narrow
cuage i’Oftd is only about ono tun’d
i mt of a broad gauge, it will bo eas-
j v seen how if is tlmt onr road can

no vnluc or reliance could lie placed
upon petitions promiscuously signed
by citizens. Tho opposing counsel
characterized Duncan's argument as
absurd and idiotic. Tlio Court and
the jury were also against Duncan.
Duncan quietly went to work to
prove that petitions were of no value.
Yesterday, in open court, lie rendu
solemn petition praying that the
court would hang their fallow tow lit- -
mnu. Luke Howard, who is one ol
the most respectable and enterpris
ing citizens nf the place. Duncan
displayed the names of all the coun
ty officers und fifty business men
signed to this ludicrous petition.
Among tlie signers were tlie brother-
in-law and tlie father in law ot How
ard. Every signature was genuine
and last night it was conceded that
Lawyer Duncan had proved his argu
ment;.
