The builders asked for -a depot site and a right-of-way from .two miles this side of CHq, This first request has been granted and the committee in charge have received assurances from the land owners along the proposed route that the right-of-way will be given. There was a meeting: of the men interested ai the Council Chamber a few davs ago and after a brief discus' sion of the subject a paper was drawn up and each man present signed the agreement pledging the depot site to the new railroad. The signatures on the paper represented $1,000,000 \yorth of prop-, erty and as the depot, site only calls for an outlay of $5,000 that ought to be assurance enough that the site will be given. There are several locations under consideration.. . The .railroad people want the A .. K. Parham ' nronarfir on W7oct D P A iranun y vu m voi a\ . A\t< iir yuuv. This property has been offered for $5,0Qp.. The W. C. Bracy block has also been offered, at $11,500. The other sites -under- consider.^ tion are half a block of land ne >r . the oil tajik and the. vacant lot her tween the Bracy block and the A. K. Parham property..,. .If either of these locations is accepted the railroad will ask for a right-ofway through some street down to the cotton .mills. .. They have ai greed to lun a spur track to the : oil mill. . i.. i The railroad people, it is understood, are partial to the Parham property o r the Bracy block. Either location wpuld put them near the A. C. L. passenger station and would greatly facilitate the transferring of passengers and baggage. But the only objection t;o either of these locations would be the getting in or out of their trains. They would have to. back their trains in or out from the mainline. If they accept the loOOfirvn noo r tVin /\i 1 f o?fV\o moin v.?w?vu biiv vii laii*v inv niaui line would cross the Atlantic Coast Line near that point and the spur track could be run up to the cotton mills without using: either of the main thoroughfares.. However as the depot site has already been pledged the chances are that the railroad will be built on to Dillon. The men behind the movement meanbusmes^. '' Since the above was written it has been learned that J. W. Dillon and Son have given the vacant lot in below' the > Methodist church for the ^epot site..
