A dispatch from Elloree to The State says "the dispatch from St. Mat thews with reference to the proposed Tailroad tapping the Atlantic Coast Line at Creston, exteudinig to St Mat thews and connecting with the Sea board at Swansea, was read with in terest here. Mention has been made of thiltf project several times, and it is hoped that such a plan will take definite shape -and materialize at jyj early date. "The proposed road would pass through one of th? best sec tions in the State and would fill a long-felt need. There has been a great deal of talk recently with refer ence to better railroad facilities for this section. As it is the towns along the Pregnals branch feel that they are bottled up. "A road is being build from Rowes ville,. and efforts have been made to have it pass Elloree, but no definite understanding; has been reached. The road, it is understood, will be, used for hauling timber and could be used for ordinary purposes. With this line in permanent operation and the; pro posed line from Creston to Swansea the towns reached would be in splen did shape as far as railroad facilities are concerned." We believe that some of these dayB the Seaboard Air Line Railroad will build into Charleston from Colum bia, and it is very likely that it will pass by Elloree, Holly Hill and other towns in that section. These towns shoui-1 keep their eyes jpen for this extension when it is made. It would he worth more to them than a road to Swansea, via St. Matthews, as it ?would put them on a through line between Charleston and Columbia, and that is what they need. FROM ORANGEBURG IN AUTO.
