B MASS MEETING IN FLORENCE JANUARY 3 .

W Georgetown, December 11):?A '
B| hundred thousand dollar scheme ^
is now under consideration by
itrevitizens of Georgetown and i
Florence, which, if perfected, 1
and very likely it will bo, will | i
mean another important step in t

scheme is the building of a railroad
between Florence and <
Georgetown. This matter of r
late has been under discussion c
by the citizens of both cities, t
but the first step towards the c
actual perfection of such a road r
has just recently been made a
and it appears now that the t
ones who are promoting the e
plan are in dead earne-t to con- p
nect the two cities by direct t
railway at an earlv^date. This \
matter is of considerable im- c
portance to both cities, in that a
Florence is desirous of connect- t
ing with a seaport town and c
Georgetown cannot afford to t
miss the opportunity of direct t
connection with the railroad 1
t
centre.
H M Ayer, representing the
people ot Florence and the e
chamber ot commerce, in a let- r
? ter addressed to the people of r
Georgetown, writes in part as c
follows: r

A large delegation from
Georgetown will attend the
neeting to be held in Florence
>n January 3, 1010, composed of
he energetic workers of the
ity, and according to the sentiment
ol the public here, as well
s in Florence, there will be no
rouble in raising the funds necssary
to build this road. The
iroposed road will pass through

o tlie route. The road will, of
