Carolina Eailroad with the present
managers, we .publish , the following
agreement nteil iat(f eteer) him
and them, that our readers may form

Sixty days from said "29th -tiay of
March was the limit of time in which
the contract directed by the said act to
be entered into by and on the part of
the State with the said Best, Fish & Co.,
grantees, should ber signed sealed and
deliver j 1 aftd he said railroad '
property7' dulyitrarisfetredi i 1,
After the ratification of said act,
Messrs. Fish, Tappan and Grace, for
reasons at least sufficient to themselves,
decided to withdraw from the associa
tion, which lef tj Mr. Best alone to as
sume the contjadti iswell known,
for it was frankly avoweaby Mr. Best,
that these three gentlemen were to
furnish the money necessary to as-,
sume and carry out the contract, he
having no capital, at least for such an
Tinderta4wkH'5 H- J li" A$
For matters to have thiis Tema'tned
no contract could have been made, the
property ("elephant" as it was alarm
ingly called) would have remained in
the control of the State with all appro
priations for its construction repealed,
and the entire work of the extra session
gone for nought.
To avert this result, and save the
contract, it was necessary the stipula
tions and agreement, as directed in the
act, should be ighed,; and entered ihto
on or before the 29th day of May fol
lowing the ratification of the act.
The 27th day of May had arrived, and
Mr. Best had failed enairely to enlist
other capitalists who were willing to
tak theplaceaof -Messrs; Fish, Tappan
and Grace. - At the solicitation of Mb.
Best, Messrs. Clyde, Logan and BuTord,
officers and part owners of the Rich
mond & Danville corporation, agreed
to advance to Mr. Best the money nec
essary to repay Fish, Tappan and
Grace for their outlay, and to meet the
first instalment due the State for con
vict labor and for interest on the bond
ed debt of the road, and thus save the
contract. Messrs. Fish, Tappan and
Grace thereupon assigned their interest
in the contract to Mr. Best, and Mr.
Best entered into the following agree
ment with Messrs. Clyde, Logan and
Buf ord :
(All my facts, dates and figures rela
tive to the act-and the contracts : are
taken from the official record of these

raise funds elsewhere, and as other
moneys would very soon be needed to
