Railroad Commissioners State That the Railroads Have Agreed Upon a Plan. 1 The railroad commissioners have stated to a representative of The Herald and News that at a confer ence of the commissioners with Presi dent W. G. Childs, of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad, and Superintendent H. A. Williams, of this division of the Southern, a plan was agreed upon in the matter of a union depot for Newberry. which w- . he carried out unless there is objection from the people of Newberry. The plan is for the Columbia, New berry and Laurens road to straighten its track to the trestle above the de pot, placing the C., N. & L. track along the embankment, build an um brella shed over the C.. N. & L. track and connect this shed with the pres ent Southern depot by a large shed, using the depot now used by the Southern as a union depot. The matter of a union depot has been agitated for many months, and taking everything into consideration it seems that it would be best for the people of Newberry to accept this plan rather than to wait longer for better accommodations.
