Their, doing away with determinations in
favor of large dealers and corporations.
The following we consider interesting
TO the Rail Road fraternity, generally:
Resolred, That the existence Of the 10.
cined Plane at Aiken is serious disadvan.
tage 10 the Road, involving increased risks
and loss Of time and money, and that the
best interest Of the Company requires that
the Road should be extended around il as

Resolred, That the mode of building the
Camden Branch without sills, on which the
cross.ties and iron rail usually rest, is dc.
fecliye and should be discontinued.
