The announcement of the sale of the Laurens Railroad to Mr. W. O. Childs, of Columbia, as the representative of a syndicate, was not a surprise he<e. It lias been known for some time that Mr. Oh lids has been anxious to seoure the bonoQt of such a connection. Mr Childs was seen this morning at his of fico with reference to the reported pur chase, and he replied that it was true that he and others bad purchased the Laurens Road, as was reported in The News and Courier, and that for the present, at least it would not be well to say much about the possible result of the purchase. The transfer would be made in a few days, and then arrange ments would bo made as to schedules* It was, however, the intention to run the line in the interests of Columbia in every way possible, as a large share of the purchase money was represented by Columbians A daily train would bo put on, whioh would allow the peo ple along the lino to oome to Columbia, transact their business and return to their homos on the same day. Such a train would arrive in Columbia about 10 o'clock In the morning, and return ing would leave Columbia about 5 in the afternoon. The line will be de veloped in every way possible, so as to mako it contribute as muoh business as possible.

It Is understood that the purchase of the Laurens Road by Mr. Childs does not moan that it has been purchased for or by the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens, and that it was a mere cir cumstance, in no way connected with the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Rail road that Mr. Childs, the presi dent of that line, made the purohaso. for a syndicate.?Columbia cor.
