' 5traw E DRY kinc8tree, VILLMHSUi'S OPPORTUNITY 0 GET ANOTHER RAILROAD THAT WOULD 6IVE COMPETITIVE FREIGHT RATES AND BUILD UP COUNTY. The following clipping from the leorgetown Times is very signiriint and we hope that every-body ltercsted in the upbuilding of our iwn and county will read it careilly and be ready at the proper me to back up the project: At the present juncture in Georgeiwr's commercial history, when ef>rts are being made to develop her ade connections with the interior f the State, it may not be amiss to ill the attention of your readers to le advantages of a new railroad mte, which, if established, would ut Georgetown into communication ith a broad belt of fertile territory ontainiug several progressive towns, nd give it connection with a cometing railroad system. Such a raillad could be secured by following route from Georgetown iu the genral direction of Brown's Perry, sere crossing Black River and passig through the Indiantown section f Williamsburg CouDty, thence to >me point on the Atlantic Coast due Railroad, either Kingstree or ades, and thence throng the forth-Western section of ^illiamsurg County to Motte Bridge on ynch's River, thence, crossing ynch's River, to Timmonsville ad tbence to Hartsville, and from [ le latter point to some station oh ie Seaboard Air Line Railroad beveen Che:aw and Camden. This line would be approximater 100 miles in length, and, with ie exception of the bridging necesiry to cross Black and Lynch's vers, it could probably be conructed at a cost not exceeding 5,000 per mile. It would be difficult to over-esmate the advantages which would icrue to Georgetown, commercialr and otherwise, from the estabshinent of this railroad connection. t, would open up a large inland irritory well supplied with timber id containing many thousand jresof the most fertile soil adapted > the growth of almost every form I vegetable product known to outh Carolina. The development I this territory by a railroad, with le consequent increase in populaon, the extension of agriculture id the development of manufacires, would provide a feeder to reorgetowu which would greatly lhauce her prosperity as a seaport, id would, at the same time, prove t incalculable benefit to the seeon penetrated by the road by givig to its people competitive ocean ites and a choice of outlets for leir products. In addition to this, it would put eorgetown in communication with vo or three of the most thriving >wns in tbe Pee Dee section aud | ould establish a community of in- j tresr atiu sennment oetween tnosc | oints md Georgetown which would ; e mutually beneficial. It is vnll known to Georgetown eople that the country between lis city and the Atlantic Coast .ine Railroad bordering Black I [NANT INC GOOD 12 1-2 CENTS 38 INC 12 1-2 CENTS 10 CENTS 8 CENTS \VH Hats at GOODS 3. C. liver is one <?f the most thriving and progressive sections of the State, embracing lands which aie probably unsurpassed for fertility in any part of South Carolina. It is probable that at least onefourth of the capital neceseary to build this road could be raised by subscriptions from Georgetown and ; other towns interested, and possiblv another fourth could be raised by private subscription. Tne remainder of the capital necessary could be provided for by an issue of bonds. It seems to me that this enterprise I would prove profitable from the beginning, even if it should depend solely upon local traffic but, when ' it is remembered that its northern terminus will be some point on the Seaboard Air Line, it is easy to see that probably a large through traffic would be developed by that connection. I trust our peop'e will take this proposition under advisement, and that some steps may be taken to farther the project and insure its completion at au ear y date. It would be interestirg to know what the people of the neighboiing conuties of Williamsburg. Clarendon, Darlington and Chestesfield think of this enterprise. If is one offering such large results that I have no doubt that at an early day men of sound business judgment will interest themselves in its promotion. My object in writing now is to direct attention to the advantages of the proposition and to stimulate public sentiment on the subject. Yours respectfully, Walter Hazard. Georgetown, S C. July 24.
