A RUMOR ABOCT TlE THREE C'S. [Special to Charleston World.] a- UNIoN March 20.-It is currently re [I I(, ported that at a very early date work will be resumed on the Augusta Divi 1)f sion of the Three C's railroad, which ruis by this place. Three-fourths of the roadbed in this county has already been graded, and if work is again re sumed it will undoubtedly be pushed rapidly to completion, in order to get the benefit of the township bonds sub scribed by the different townships of a the county, which amount to over ,80,090. Only three more months re s inain to finish the road and put on e rolling stock, and have the roadbed t- accepted by the railroad commissioners Is in order to get the benefit of the town ship bonds. In order to do this a very r large force of hands will have to be put to work. e THREE C'S EXTENSION. d [Special to Charleston World.] n ASHEVILLE, March 30.-There are prospects now that the Three C's rail road will have trains running to Marion, this state, during this week. TO PAY THE THREE CIS DEBTS. [Special to the State] Y CHARLESTON, S.

SUPERINTENDENT TALCOTT RESIGNS 111S POSITION. [The State, Marcli 30.] One of the most imnportant railroad changes that has occurred recently has t. just been made, ind it will no doubt create considerable surprise. Superin tendent George R. Talcott, of the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta, and Co d lumbia and Greenville Roads, has ten dered his resignation to the controlling company. V. Last evening it was ascertained in an accidental way that Col. Talcott had 1 resigned. The authority for the state ment is the best, as it comes directly from a gentleman to whom Cal. Tal cott himself gave the information. I t is all the more surprising, as Col. Tal cott had but a few days ago declined to say whether the rumor that he in Jf tended to resign was true or not. His er resignatson will go into effect on April f. -15. He has been in the service of the rail road company for eleven years and has at made a very efficient officer. He is supeiintendent of the Columbia and Greenville, and Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta roads, as well as of the Cherter and Lenoir and Cheraw and Chester narrow gauge roads, having tt under his control about 62.5 miles of re railroad. The cause of his resignation n or his future movements cannot be as a certained. h It almost certain that his successor s. is to be Mr. John Dodson, the present e- superintendent of the Georgia, Caroli te na and Northern Railroad, with head is quarters at A bbeville. It was rumored is last night that such was the case, and e that Superintendent D)odson had al d ready handed in his resignation to the y management of his road. Mr. Dodson e is a thorough railroad man' and will, n no doubt, be a worthy successor to Col. d Talcott. Cal. Talcott's retirement from re railroad circles means a great loss to that business. itSHORtT ROUTE TO GREENVILLE. re[Special to News and Courier.] s.

Popie Jenkins, after a very pliasant sojourn at the old home for several weeks, returned last Tuesday to her home at Elloree, Orangeburg County. A friend tells us of an amusing inci dent recently in which two little maid ens, whom we shall call Mabel and Lizette, were the actors. One was the guest of the other, and while they were making their toilet for the night the little lady of the household, who is studying French with great enthu siasm, was upon her knees. After she had finished the Lord's Prqyer Mabel said to her, with a shade of sarcasm in the emphasis, "Why, L-i-z-z-e-t-t-e, you say your prayers in French"? To which the latter qickly replied with warmth: "Look here, Mabel, don't you know that our Heavenly Fatber anderstood French before you were born"!
