Stale railroad 'lomuii-sinn htm received
a letter from Chief Engineei
A. P. Lm ing f the Boston elevated
Railway company, hi which
ho tells the commission of a nen
railroad line capitalists there are
1 prop ?sing to build from S uth
port, N. C., to Knoxville. Tenn..
the line lying principally across
the upper portion of ihis State.
The proposed line is already on
paper ready t<? ho presented t??
the capitalists interested. Th?v
j wish to cut through and open up
:new territory, aud run from tlo
Jcoal fields, suppl\ingcoul through
intersecting main lines to the cotton
m<lls of the Piedmont and
giving un excellent new port, as
well as feeding the port of Char
lestou through the Coa-t Line,
the Southern, the O. R ami C.,
and the Seaboard
The engineer writes that th?*\
expect the line to he of great
benefit to all South Carolina porta
sndtctfrtiR and. ndiTei >4Th? pro
posed line is about 400 miles in
length; it might pay as an east and
west lino through a productive
country, but would depend on
connections north and smith. 1
have not failed to notico that the
railroads in your State appear to
be paying." Engineers aro now
at Suuthport looking about.
A glance at the map shows that
such a line would give railroad
facilities to a portion of South
Carolina no?v almost without
service, save north and south, and
the short cast and west line from
Lancaster to Chester. All the
upper tier of counties would be
touched from Horry on the west
to Oconee on the east, and the
line would likely get through the
gap in the mountains which the
Blue Rioge road was designed to
use. The distance to the Tennessee
coal fields would he materially
shortened.
Tii? ...:i ? : -
v. lumuwi commissioners expect
to immediately furnish the
engineer with all the information
possil lo as to tho portion of South
Carolina proposed to he touched.

1'ttNiell Loden, one of the wit
nesMii in this case, was shot and
killed in a difficulty at \\ estminsier

The account of this murder appeared
in The State of Nov. 27th

undertook to correct an alleged
social sin in their community hy
lawlessness and riot, and followed
this with murder. This was
the second woman ever killed in

may consider themselves doubly
