day. The track was cleared yesterday
and train from Columbia was run out at
5 o'clock The local train from Denmark
came in last night. The South Bounds
wire to Columbia was also working yes

trict last night that would not otherwise
have been received.
The chief damage on the South Bound

Denmark and Columbia reported that the
storm was notvery heavy at those points.
THE CENTRAL ALL RIGHT
The Central railroad trains were run
ming regularly yesterday. The schedule
had not quite been restored and most of
the trains were late. The 6:2O train from
Atlanta arrived promptly on line to the
minute, last night.
There were no washouts of any conse-
quence along the Central, the damage be-
ing chiefly from the great number of
trees thrown across the track and the
destruction Of Geographic communica-
tion.

along it's line than any other road leading
into the city. All of it's trains were run
