The ticket nominated last night
by the Republican nominating con

Adjoining Ocean City is large
tract of land recently purchased by
the Synepuxent Beach Company,
which has in part been laid of into
large lots fronting on the Atlantic

These lots were sold, according to
location at from $500 to 500. Our

IS 1T ANOTHER SCOOP

The L. 81 N. Said to Have Gobblea the
south Carolina Railroad.
The Louisville aud Nashville railroad has
or will in a comparatively short time
secure control of the South Carolina rail
road, says the Augusta Chronicle.
Authoritative news cannot be obtained.
bat it is an accepted conclusion that the
South Carolina railroad has passed into
new hands.
IL is a wsll-known fact that the Louisville
aud Nashville has been anxious to get q
direct outlet to the sea. Its half lease on
the Georgia road and its control of the
Western and Atlantic goes to snow that
they we're gradually getting closer 10 the
sea, with the intention of soon having a
direct line to the ocean.
1t Is a well-known fact. too, that the
Louisville and Nashville and the Coast Lima
stand together very closely Should the
Louisville and Nashville carry out the deal
with the South Carolina there is but little
doubt that the Coast Line people will extend
their line TO Augusta, as they some time ago
contemplated. The Louisville aud Nash
Vile railroad Is one of the most powerful
systems in the country now controlling
about 4, 400 miles of roads.
There may or may not be truth in the
Augusta story but it is a fact that the
Louisville and Nashville has been nego-
tlating for the purchase OF wharf front and
terminal facilities in Savannah. That was
what brought President Smyth aud Presi-
dent Thomas to Savannah few weeks ago
which they claimed was pleasure" trip.
