Charleston Mercury that " there now twenty-five
miles of the Northeastern Railroad finished and in
full operation i'll the course of some weeks another
section of five miles will be opened, completing the
road to the station known Monks corner" The !
Mercury appears to take for granted that this road
through its extension, the Darlington and Cheraw |
Road will eventually have its terminus at the coal
fields in North Carolina. To completely eheckma.o
