The county commissioners at their last
meeting granted to the Plank Road
company twenty feet Of the road between
the Beaufort line and the railroad depot.
1t Is to be hoped that this company will
at once get to worl; and give us a good
read as far as the depot, and then they
can take their time to continue it TO Port
Royal. So many charters have been
granted to our citizens without their ever
amounting to anything that we should
have but little faith in this enterprise but
for the fact that some Of the incorporators
are N IN of business anil il they say the
road shall be built it will be done. We
hope there will be no delay in this much
needed Improvement.

Saturday last attached his property in

was closed and the i.ansion House placed

the DR.. in bankruptcy which wond lie
an excellent idea if the creditors desired
to get nothing. The Sea Island Hotel
funiture went through the bankrupt
court, and the proceeds amounting to
over $4,000 were all swallowed up in costs

The second great race between the
crews of the Brooklyn and Congress came
off on Friday. The distance was five
miles, each boat carrying twelve cars.
and resulted, as did the previous race, in
favor of the Congress boys. Just before
the start the friends of the BROOKLYN
crew offered a large sum in bets and at
odds but the whole was not taken as it was
thought that the Brooklyn was certain
of victory. The result is sail to be owing
to the excellent training of the winning
crew whose rowing was marvel OF, ,pertcc-
ton and time. Seventeen hundred dollars
only changed hands on the result.
