Fhe Surveyors Seeking a Way to Get in and :Out- of Newberry-The Entire Augusta Division Soon to Be Located' and Work Begunat Both Ends of the Line. ('apt. U. A. Rminsaur and hisengineer ng corps have located the line of the three C's road from Augusta to New >esry, and during the past week have >en making preliminary surveys in )rder to get in and out of Newberry on he way to Union and Blacks. Dr. J. G. Black, of Black's, general nanager of the Augusta division, and Ir. A. Urquhart, of New York, gen !ral business agent, have also been here. I One line has been run on the eastern u ide of town in rear of the lots of Geo. A. Langford, Win. Langford, A. M. Bow rs, and aeross the C. & (. R. R., hrough the vacant lot of Mr. Isaiah Haltiwanger, Capt. R. H. Wright's lot, >ack of )r. Mcl,ltosh's and throuugh he Johnstone place and near where 1ir. Alan Johnstone is building his iew residence, and across the road just >eyoid the residence of Maj. L. J. Jones. The other line runs on the western ide of the town and under the trestle wear the culvert and up the branch in ront of the residence of Mr. E. S. Cop- 1 , oek, going through a portion of the lot >f Mrs. Y. J. Pope, and through Os. c Wells' place and out by Pool's brick < "ard. Both these preliminary lines coie :ogether near the steam mill of Auil broJs. The first one will be more expensive, uossibly, as most of the owners of the )roperty through which it runs would bject to the road going that way. The other one up Scott's creek and Inder the trestle will be staked oft, but iothing definite can yet be settled until he respective costs can he estimated. 'he cost of building and the cost of )btaining the right of way will have to )e considered. Other preliniinary lines nay also be run. The general managers will come here r aefore anything definite can be deter- r nlined. The road will run from here :o Union and the company is now >rocuring the right of way. The right s )f way has been secured between here f md Augusta. From Union the road ill likely be run to Blacks. The bonds issued by Cronier's Cownship, No. 4, in this county, will be igned in a few days and placed in the iands of a trustee to be delivered to the onpany, one half when one half of the r rading through the Township has een completed, and theother halfoftlie bonds, when the other half of the grad ng is completed ready for the track. Chis Township voted $10,000. Mr. R1. L. McCaughrin was appointed the trus :ee to hold the bonds. If any interest tecrues before the work is done the in ,eiest is not to be paid by the County omm'issioners. That much of the York is to be completed by 1591. As soon as the line is located perma 3ently between Augusta and Blacks,. :he contract will be let for the grading >f the whole line, and work will .be I eoinmenced at both ends. The Augus :a end will likely be completed first.c Where the depot in town will be 1 ocated or which route will be ad1opted] s mere conjecture.< Our people are very much interested .n the building of this road and will be: ;lad to see the work completed.t Pinckney Township, in:Union Coun-3 :y, has voted a subscription of .for the three C's railroad.
