com pol the county of Richland, S
to receive Blue Ridge Revenue
Bond scrip la payment of taxes, and
acea South Carolina with litiga

haa undergone. The act km n based
on an act by the General Assembly
oi i South Carolina to. relieve that
Slate of all Cabttiiy for its gusraaty
of the bonds of the Bine Ridge Rail

city in the extreme, to have this road

eitended either to Charlotte or by

be awake to the importance of the
matter. The Enquirer & Eapresa,
of Moaroe, says : "Mr. Henry Fries,
