The sale of the Blackville, Aston and
| NewDerry railroad for $3.50, 900, to be con-
troiled hereafter in the interest of the South
Carolina railway and the East Shore Termi-
nal Company, was reported in the MORNING
| NEWS yesterday. The Charleston News
and Courier says of the deal: THE East
Shore Terminal people guaranteed the paw
ment of $4,000 of The first mortgage per
cent. bonds Of the road, and issuing $4,000
OF per cent. second mortgage bonds to the
stockholders Of the road. But this IS not
| al. The Ne1Us and Courier adds, "rhe Barn
| well railroad has also been sold to the South
Carolina Railway Company, and will be
operated in the interest OF the East Shore
| Terminal Company This road was
bought from President Talmage of
the South Carolina railway by
Col Mike Brown for SOS, 900. and was after
ward sold by him 60 the South Bound rail-
road, but at what p:ice is not generally
known. 1t has now been bought by the
South Carolina railway for $4,000, the
East Shore Terminal Company guaranteed g
the payment OF the purchase money. These
transactions would appear to indicate that
the East Shore Terminal Company has its
| eyes on the South Carolina railway, and it
is believed by many that it will eventually
! become the entire owner of the South Caro-
| lima railway and its connections. All of this
means well for Charleston. Tho South Car
! DINA railway now controls, and will control
| during the period of the present receiver
| ship, the Cumberland Gap railroad,
the Blackville, Aston and Newberry
railroad, the Barnwell railroad,
the Columbia and Newberry rail-
| road, and has desirable connec-
! tons with the Three C's railroad. The pol
| icy of railroad extension in the interest of
| Charleston is the best policy for Charleston
and for the East Shore Terminal Company.
| What Charleston needs is through line to
| the west, and this line is bound TO be built
soon or late. When it is built there will be
/ no empty warehouses and no vacant docks
| on the weter front, and il is to this end. it
is believed, thet the East Shore people are
surely working. The Barnwell railroad
runs from Blackville to Barnwell court
house, is nine miles In length, aud is laid
with steel rails. 1t was constructed and
! opened In 1882 The Blackville, Aston and
| Newberry railroad is projected from Black

pleted from Blackville TO Severn, thirty
