I MOVEMENT LAMED TO BUILD TRANS- j P0RAT1ON LINE CONNECTING TQREE , TOWNS ABOVE NAMED. Florence, January 3:?The meeting of the parties interested in the building of the Alcolu, Floren# & Georgetown railroad was held in the Florence court house today. While there was not a large crowd in attendance those who were present were enthusiastic and seemed determined to exhaust every effort in carrying through the proposed road. There is already a line extending from Alcolu to within about ten miles of Florence, owned by D W Alderman & Sons, and it is a continuation of this line into Florence and down to deep water at Georgetown that is being sought It is estimated that the building of the road will cost about $6,000 per mile and the Messrs Alderman have agreed to furnish I rolling stock and other equipj ment and to lease the road for 120 years, guaranteeing interest on bonds and taxes. The Legislature will be petitioned to 1 authorize the townships through , which the line will pass to take steps for the issuing of the necessary bonds- The representatives from Georgetown, . Williamsburg and Florence counties, who are taking an active part in the matter, seem to feel assured that the Alcolu, 1 Florence & Georgetown railroad will be built in the near future. for the li sve are w and Prosi n nine v. e, S, C. f STORE. \ i | XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX& 8 HOW WE HAVE GROWN: 8 ;i X The tale is told in the following comparative X X statement: X X January 3rd, 1906 $ 74,574.31 X O January 3rd, 1907 62,679.10 O V January 3rd, 190 8 94,750*89 0 x January 3rd, 1909 64,674.20 8 o January 3rd, 1910 204,642.01 o J WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS 0 8 THE FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK, 8 X Lake City, S.
