ORANGEBURG AFTER 1T,
The South Bound Urged to Take In the
Live South Carolina Town.

The South Bound Urged to Take In the
Live South Carolina Town.
The citizens of Orangeburg, s. c., held
meeting on May %, and appointed a COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. w. L. Glaze
and thomas L. Raysor to communicate
with the authorities OF the South Bound
railroad, with the view Of ascertaining the
probable route Of the road, and to find out
what inducement the people of that city
would have to offer to induce the company
to include Orengeburg on its route.
A letter from the committee states that
the business men and citizens in general Of
Orangeburg are anxious to secure the South
Bound, and will do all in their power to get
it. Their city is ON the line from Savannah
to Sumter, s. c., and there is no point
between the two places that can
offer a railroad anything like the
advantages that Orangeburg can. The COM
mittee says that the people are anxious to
get railroad connection with Savannah and
the north. and the South Bound railroad will
give them these connections The county
is one of the most fertile in the state and
Orangeburg is city of considerable COM
mercial Importance. and the committee
claims that it would be greatly to the adj
vantage of Savannah to bring its new road
there.
The letter will doubtless receive careful
consideration from the board OF directors
of the Savannah Construction Company at
the weekly meeting next Tuesday.
The annual meeting Of the stoc kholders
Of the South Bound railroad viii, be held in
this city June 26.
