the Xeirs and Courier claims
the Charleston, Sumter and
Northern Northern Railroad for
Charleston. One who is unfa
miliar with the facts of the case
would, on reading our esteemed
contemporay, suppose that the
road was the product of Charles

that city, who, with keen fore
sight, saw into the future and
beheld the wonderful benefit
that was in store for the metrop

completed. To us, who remem

of the committees of public
spirited citizens from Darling

upon the moneyed men of the
“City by the Sea” the impor

effort of the Xew» and Courier

For years and years the good
people of Bennettsville have
been anxiously waiting, as one
of their number once poetically
1 said, “to hear the whistle of a
locomotive sounding through
the pines in the direction of
| Charleston,” announcing the
! opening of a highway of trade
between the farms of Marlboro
and their natural market in the
City by the Sea. Their hopes
and wishes will be gratified in
a few days, if indeed the long
expected neighing of the ap
proaching steam horse has not
J been heard already in the still
summer evenings.
Viewing the situation from
the practical rather than the

j the new line, instead of those of
the local poqjt, "the field work
, is being pushed rapidly,” and
next Saturday or Monday night
“will see the last spike of the
young Charleston, Sumter and
j Northern Raihoad driven.”
[ “The railroad commissioners
have been notified to come over
to Bennettsville, on July 1, and
receive the road, and on the 5th
the regular train service will be
established.” Moreover, “the
material for building depots and
coton platforms is already load
ed on the cars, and with a large
force of carpenters will be
brought here,” to Bennettsville,
“as soon as the track is connect
ed. and commodious depots will
soon be in course of construct
ion.” And moreover, again,
the general managers of tlie new
line and its connecting lines are
already arranging schedules and
other details for business, and
it is announced that trains will
“Ive Charleston, 6.50 A. M.; arr

the point of full realization.
