At the conference the gentle? men from Sardinia stated that they Would pledge themselves to Secure the rights of way from Sumter to Sardinia and thence on to Turbeville. if the road came by their town. The members of tho railroad com? mittee were favorably Impressed by the statement made by the gentle? men from Sardinia and believe that it WOUld greatly Increase the turn? ings oflhe road should it go by Sar? dinia. The matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, probably on Monday, when it will be threshed out and de? cided upon. This ( hange will Increase the length of the road between two and three miles and New Klon will also he located on the road, if the change is made. The right:; ot way for the proposed load have already been secured be? tween 'danta and Black Itlver, the ti fes being given by property owners. The members of the railroad commit* tee seem reasonably certain thai the road will he built at some not distant datO, but It has not yet been announc? ed who will be the builder, although it will probablj be some railroad al? ready operating in the State.
