the most favorable, and the road will

The right of way, is very important, and
no man, who has the intezlst of himself

tender the right of way through his
lands. The people along the Social Cir
cle route are anxious for the road, and
will donate the right of way without
any trouble. Two or three obstinate
citizens may defeat the enterprise by re
fusing to make this grant, and we appeal
to ail citizens of Morgan and Oconee

positor in the office of the Athens (Ga.)
Banner-Watchman, who was said to have
come into possession of a fortune. Mr.
William Jones, who,attained his majori
ty on Sunday last, came to Charleston
and has taken possession.of his fortune,
which, while it will hardly entitle him
to bo ranked among tho millionaires of
the country, is at least sufficient to give
him a good start in life.
William Jones’ history isapiomant
one. When he entered ti ls world one
of the greatest struggles of modern times
had just closed'.. His father had evident
ly taken apart in it, for ina soaled pack
age which was left for Willie there was
a silver medal^ evidently of Confederate
manufacture, en which is inscribed the
words, “Sabine Puss, Sept 8,1803,” and
on the reverse a Maltese cross with the
letters “D, G.” rudely cut on the sur
face. Willie’s father, it is supposed, like
all the Confederates, cams horns ruined
in fortune and ^broken in health. After
living In Charleston some time he went
up the river to work, and that was the
last ever hetid-of him. Whether he was
murdered or drowned accidentally is not
known—he disappeared, and it was gen
erally supposed that he had died. Mrs.
Jones had many warm friends In the
family of Mr. George H. Ingraham, of
this city, when) she found s homo, and
in 1868 Willie was placed in the orphan
asylum, from whose walls many good
men And women have emerged well
equipped for the battle of life. The prin
cipal of the asylum and the teachers and
matrons all speak well of Willie, who
gave early Indications of being a bright
boy.
In 1878, a Mr. Malcom Stafford, of
Jackson couutyl Ga^ came to the city,
and while here applied at the Orphan
House for a boy, whom hedosired to take
to Georgia with • view of teaching him
the trade of a printer. Willie Jonea *
selected, and, the papers of indentui
having ltoen aixnad. Willie accompanied
him to his future home in Georgia. He
remained with his mMter until the death
ofthe latter, when he removed to Ath
ens, carrying his indentures with him,
and onterod the office of the Boj
Watchman u a cyapozitcr.
Me iiau pecu tniurmea bjt*
the chairman of the board of coi
era ofthe Orphan House, that there wm
in his possession a bank book and a seal
ed package which would be delivered to
him when he arrived at the ago of man
hood. And accordingly Willie Jones
came to Charleston cn Monday last ^nd
presented himself to the chairman of the
commissioners. He is a handseiho and
attractive leoking young fellow, with a
bright and intelligent face, and gives
promiso of making his way In Ahe world.
In 1860 a deposit of $900 wm made by
his father in the Boutb Carolina Loon and
Trust Company. The amount hM[ ac
cumulated to $2,100, which wm paid to
Mr. Jones yesterday. The sealed pack
age, which had been left in charge of Mr.
W. C. Bee, who wm tbenohainnar of the
Orphan House board, and whi- h had
been transmitted successively to M
I). Mowry and to Capt. Jacob Son11. the-
present'chairman, and *hieh ha 1 been
stated by the Georgia papers to cur.ain
diamonds and precious stones of untold
value, wm opened by Mr. Jones, in the
presence of Cspt. Small, and found to
contain two gold watohesand a chain and
the Confederate war medal alluded to
above—mementoes which, although not
valQble intrinsically as ths alleged
diamonds, are highly treasured as souve
nirs ofthe parent be never saw, or at Last
of whonr be has no recollection.
Mr. Jones, of courser visited bb alma

tances, and received the cengratuUtionS
of bis old friends and teachers. Ho will

They propose to inaugurate a number of
