Anderson. Special.-It was learned
here that party of engineers were at
work at Walhalla yesterday surveying
the line Of the Tennessee, South Caro-
lima and Georgia Railway company.
The engineers started from Walhalla
yesterday morning. and are working
their way in the direction Of Anderson.
They are expected to reach the city
within a week.
This is the railroad that is being
promoted by Mr.. w B. Frink OF Chi
cago and Mr.. NJ. Skinner OF Blue
Ridge, Ga. Mr.. Skinner is in charge
OF the engineer corps now at Walhalla.
These gentlemen. with several OF
their associates, were in Anderson
some months ago. They declared at
that time that the road would be biiie
from Knoxville to this city, and uitt-
mately to the sea. They seemed to be
very sanguine about it, but did not
make public any Of their plans ior
financing the enterprise. The company
has secured a charter in Georgia, pae
has not yet done so in this State.

THE SANTEE CANAL.
Senator Tillman fleets the COMMITTEES
Having r1atter In Charge.

Charleston, Special-Senator Till
man had conference in the board
room of the Peoples National Bank
last week, relative to the projected
opening of canal between the Santee
and Cooper rivers for navigation. A.
committee from the Columbia Cham
ber of Commerce, consisting Of Messfs
J. B. Norris, e. B. Clark, E. H. CAN
and August Kohn, by appointment met
with Senator Tillman, as did com
mittee of the Charleston Commercaai
Club. consisting of Messrs. s. q.
Stoney, chairman, James CosgroEe, Il
Goodwin Rhett and George w. VIII
liams.
The Charleston committee arrange
for the conference, and by invitation
Can't. J. C. Sanford United States
army, and Mr.. James P. Allen, OF the
United States engineers office, were
present.
Mr.. E. H. Clark, of the Columbia
committee, who Is thoroughly ac-
uuainted with the territory through
which the canal is proposed to be run,
made the chief presentation ana
showed the desirability and necessity
from a commercial standpoint OF sucA
a connection between the two rivers
He explained what it would mean for
the commercial development OF the
adjacent territory and Charleston.
The members of the Charleston
committee supplemented Mr.: Cams
presentation, and after the main argu-
ment was completed there was gen.
eral discussion of the whole situation
Senator Tillman freely offered TO ar
range for the necessary survey by the
United States Government officials ana
to cooperate in whatever way he coufd
in carrying out the desired purpose OF
connecting the two rivers and making
it possible to have shorter and navi-
gable water route between Columbia
and Charleston. Senator Tillman
promised to do his part and insisted
that the Charleston and Columbia
Chambers of Commerce would have
20 supply him with the necessary data
as to the commercial possibilities ef
such a canal. He emphasized that It
would be necessary to bring out the
commercial possibilities Of such q pro-
ject rather than to stress any other
feature Of such proposition. Senator
Tillman made suggestions to the two
committees as to, this work, which h
so near to the commercial interests Of
the two communities, and called atten-
tion to several other matters in which
he might be able to help in the COM
mercial development Of Charleston
and Columbia along the lines of water
transportation.
Senator Tillman showed the com
mittees that such work could not ba
done in a few days or few months
and that he would do the very best
that he could to help the cause along.
He said that there was no possibility
Of getting such a canal ready before
the two boats which are now being
constructed for the Columbia business
are completed.
The members of the committee ex-
pressed themselves as very much
pleased with the interview that they
had with Senator Tillman and with his
expressions OF friendliness towards
the project.
