believed that the road will not only bo great accommo
the stockholders II designed to construct tracks
connecting the railroads at the upper lower end of
the city one to DO located under tho bluff tho
along Bay street, with two tracks, Price
and tho other Drayton street. We understand that
the intention of the company strictly open

generally may be interested in the enterprise
Charleston, 1t appears, is putting Savannah to its
trumps; only few months ago the Savannah papers
were disposed to poke fun for agitating build
ing OF street railroad in this city, pronounced it
practicable and said that they woud be perfectly
fed If they could get few twohorse omnibuses. But
when they found in earnest they set to work,
determined not to be outdone.
