WHITMIRE TO GREER.
Proposed Road Connecting Seaboard
And Observation-Disclosures
Plan for Bs.lding.

A> ,""''i "ttloii Vi u FallfOaU from
Nhltmire, on the Seaboard Air Line,
to Greer, on the Southern, a distance
OF 80 miles, is now proposed. MIR.
Lowndes j. Browning, of Scdalia. is
the moving spirit behind the PROPOSE
tlon, and although nothing definite
has been decided upon he believes
that his plans are feasible and can be
easily carried through. The proposed
route Is through very fine farming
section and would open up territory
that Is badly in need Of railroad facil-
tiles.
MIR. Hr"wning'S idea. according to
The Union Times of this week. i to
build Il railroad with Whitmirc. on
the Srab"ard, and Greer, on the main
line of the Southern, as terminals,
crossing She Charleston and Western
Carolina road at Woodruff. The post
Offices along the proposed route at the
present time are: Whitmire, Setlalia,
Cross Keys, Cross Anchor, Hobbyville
Cashville, Reidville and Greer. The
line would be in Union, Spartanburg
and Greenville counties. 1t would
reach within easy distance of several
cotton mills, The Glenn-Lowry Mills
hcin" situated at Whitmire and the
f.n"rr" Mills and Pelham Mills not
far off,
Mr.. Br"wnin" claims ;hat Of the
sixty miles. rrlN-fivr Of them could
he graded with Il twn-horSc plow, so
I'VE! l. the country. and the only tres
~ I've entire route would be at
" h!tmlrr. There arc no streams to
cross. the lin" fn!lnw;n" the ridyc be-
tween En"rrr and Tyyrr rivers.
because of the easy "radin" it is
estimated that the cost of construc-
tl"n would be comparatively small. II
Is calru'atrd that the "radin" could
be done at the nominal cost of 81 800
per mile. The rollin" stock would
cost Approximately $4,000 mile.
hringin" the total cost of construc-
tinn and equipment up to not exceed
Ing $SO0.000.
MIR. Brownin"'s plan is to raise
$l10.000 in cash subscriptions and
float bonds for $6OO.000. He has al
ready placed 100000 of the bonds
and If the cash subscriptions of $780,
600 can be raised the rcmaininY$300,
600 in bonds can be floated without
any trouble and the road will be built.
The above is from the Grecnville
News Of Saturday. This road is head
ed in the right direction. aud if it
should be built, it is so much more
the reason why the road, which we
have said so much about from Angus
TIA to Whtmire, could be pushed.
1t would seem from this statement
from the Greenville News that the
persons behind that enterprise mean
business. A road across the country
tn:ards Anguish will open section
of the state that is sadly in need Of
railroad facilities. We should be
very glad to see this road built, be-
cause if it is, it will be eventually ex-
tended to Newberry even if our rail
road enterprises and projects between
Whitmire and Augusta, which arc
now being agitated, should fail.
