Necessary Rail Secured and Will Be Laid in Near Future. k y Arrangements have been made for I securing the necessary rail to lay the track on the Bamberg to Ehrhardt n Railroad and work will be commenc- h ed at once. This road is owned by ii Messrs. W. C. Wolfe, of Orangeburg, li Jones A. Williams and Edward C. o Hays, of Bamberg, and will doubtless h become a branch of the Atlantic Coast ii Line. t It is fourteen miles long, extending s from Ehrhardt to Bamberg through a very rich country. The Coast Line o now operates a train from Green n Pond to Ehrhardt through Walter- s boro. No doubt this train service 1< will be extended by the new line to t Bamberg. From Bamberg to the s main line of the Coast Line at the li Qrmth TTMistn River is onlv four miles a and steps will no doubt be taken to b build this short line at once. c Orangeburg then should become interested in having the Coast Line to n operate its trains from Green Pond 1 into Orangeburg by way of Walter- v boro, Ehrhardt and Bamberg. This twould mean much for the develop- tl ment of the line and our people v j should keep their business eye on this o proposition. The new road from i] Bamberg to Ehrhardt is all graded, trestles built and cross ties laid. It c is the expectation of those interested s to have trains moving over the en- g tire length in three or four months, f: ?Orangeburg Times and Democrat, s DIRECTORY OF TRINITY METHO- ?
