Southern Extension Certain.
There can no longer be any doubt
as to where tho Southern Railway pro
poHCH t.j go ahead with tho building rfof
its line from Columbia to Savunflfrh.
It won't bo twe weeks, according- f>o
the official statement, before ground
will be broken f?ud the work of con
struction under way. lio&'ilts show
that since tho announcement of the
purpose of the Southern to build the
line, not a minute's time has been
wanted, and it is not likely that any
will bo until tho traiun aro running
into Savannah.
It is oatomated that 250 new baiW-..

Tho Filipinos have lost, more heavily
