STATE ENDORSEMENT OF RAILROAD
B BoNDs.-Many years ago, the State of
South Carolina endorsed the bonds of
the South Carolina Railroad Company to
thr amount of $4,000, 900 sterling. We
learn that the bonds have matured and
been ell arranged for. The guarantee of
the State, being no longer needed, we
learn that in accordance with the wishes
of the company. the Legislature will
repeal the old Act, and thus arrange for

bonds This action of the South Caro-

tune, as it is calculated to enhance the
price Of State securities, and gives evi-
dence Of return toward its good old
times of prosperity.
