Both Ends Of the Line

Located and Work Begun'at
Both Ends Of the Line.
capt. .. \. Ramsaur and his engineer
lnG corps have located the line of The
Three Cs road from Augusta to New
berry, and during the past week have
been making preliminary surveys in
order to get in and out of Newberry on
the way to Union and Blacks.
DIR. J. G. Black, of Blacks, general
manager of the Augusta division, and
Mr.. A. Crquhart, of New York, gen-
eral business agent, have also been here.
One line has been run on the eastern
side Of town in rear of the lots of Geo. \.
Langford, VIM. Langford, 4. NJ. Bow
ers, and across the &. d. &. II. r.,
through the vacant lot of Mr.. Isaiah
Haltiwanger, Capt. r. H. Wright's lot,
back of DR.. McIntosh's and through
the Johnstone place and near where
Mr.. Alan Johnstone IS building his
new residence, and across the road just
beyond the residence of Maj. L. j. Jones.
The other line runs on the western
side of the town and under the trestle
near the culvert and up the branch in
front of the residence of Mr.. f. S. Cop
pock, going through Il portion of the lot
of Mrs. y. J. Pope, and through OS.
Wells place and out by Pools brick
yard.
Both these preliminary lines come
together near the steam mill of Auil
Bros.
The first one will be more expensive,
possibly, as most Of the owners of the
property through which it runs would
object to the road going that way.
The other one up Scott's creek and
under the trestle will be staked off, but
nothing definite can yet be settled until
the respective costs can Ike estimated.
The cost of building and the cost of
obtaining the right Of way will have to
be considered. Other preliminary lines
may also be run.
The general managers will come here
before anything definite can be deter
mined. The road will run from here
to Union and the company is now
procuring the right of way. The right
of way has been secured between here
and Augusta. From Union the road
will likely be run to Blacks.
The bonds issued by Cromer's
Township, No. I, in this county, will be
signed in few days and placed i'll the
hands of trustee to be delivered to the
company, one half when one half of the
grading through the Township has
been completed, and the other halfof.the
bonds, when the other half of the grad
ing is completed ready for the track.
This Township voted $4,000. Mr.. r.
L. McCaughrin was appointed the trus-
tee to hold the bonds. If any interest
accrues before the work is done the in
teIest is not to be paid by the County
Commissioners. That much Of the
work is to be completed by 1891.
AS soon as the line is located perma-
nently between Augusta and Blacks,
the contract will be let for the grading
of the whole line, and work will be
commenced at both ends. The Angus
ia end will likely be completed first.
Where the depot in town will be
located or which route will be adopted
is mere conjecture.
Our people are very much interested
in the building Of this road and will be
glad to see the work completed.
