will ever force its way through
antagonistic territory, and the only
way to prove that you favor this road
is to authorize the Commissioners to
Subscribe $100,0Q0.00 to its Capital
Stock—vote “For Subscription.”
The little branch road we now have
has brought in new enterprises which
are paying the county $1,000 a ^ear
more in taxes than the county pays
interest on its bonds. Is not this a
paying investment—and if so, what
would a thru line do for the county ?
Every man who favors this road,
and this should include every register
ed voter in this county, should use
every effort to get voters out to the
polls next Tuesday.
Every precinct in the county sho’d
cast a majority of its registered vote
“For Subscription.” Undoubtedly the
proposition will carry, but for the
good name of our county and its enter
prising citizenship, the vote should be
unanimous.
The development of our water-pow-
ers, the Progress and Prosperity of
our county and its prople, depiends
matsrially upon the construction of
the Greenville & Knoxville railroad—
get in on the winning side, VOTE
“For Subscription”

Excavating for Warehouse Aged P«/Iar
ble Slat^ Is Unesrthcd.
A cujious find, which ^as been the
object of much speculation, was made
at Augusta, Ga., by the workmen ^n
gaged in tearing: ^own the old struc
ture at the ccrrnfer of Fenwick and
Gumming streets, where Arrlngtor
Brothers are to erect a warehouse
The object that is attracting no litt
interest, is nothing more nor less tha'
an old marble slab which was used
to cover an old grave. On the slat
is this inscription, very clearly chis
eled;
To the mfmory of
Herbert a Kirkpatrick,
Who Died February 12,
1838, \
Aged 28 Years, 6 Months and 16 Days
The slab is just large enough tc
cover an average vault, beltig 30 Inch.
es*wide and 60 inches long, and it is
about 3 inches thick. It was found
in ihe fioor of the hallway of the ole
brick house that stood on the ccrrnei
of Gumming and Fenwick streets, the
housy^ recently occupied by' Mrs. Fan
nle Young. The side bearing the in^
scription was faced down on the fiooi
with the smooth side being used at
part of the floor. It seems that nc
one who occupied the house ever paid
any special attention to its being
there, aside from perhaps wondering
why the stone was placed in the floor
