Ocean Shore Railway first mortgage bonds are
better today at % than they have been before
there is more substantial security back of them now
than there has ever been.
The company is operating forty-eight miles
OF railway-earning sufficient money to pay the in
terest on its outstanding bonds developing fertile
and prosperous country-making possible the estab-
lishment of many industries -affording quick trans
portation for those who wish to live in subur
ban towns along the line-and yet the railway is
only in its infancy.
It's future possibilities are at this time beyond
any ones comprehension
Since January, 1908, sixteen miles of road have
been built through mountainous country, and seven
miles will be completed within the next
thirty days.
The progress of the. railway during the
past nine months has been accomplished
through the sale of bonds, amounting to over
100000.
There now remains an incompleted gap of thirty
miles, seven miles of which will be completed by
November leaving but twenty-three miles to con-
meet San Francisco with Santa Cruz. About ten
miles of this twentythree has been graded and with
few trestles will be ready for rails.
1t is absolutely certain. barring bad weather
that the Ocean Shore will be running into Santa
Cruz in time for next Summers traffic

Earnings-Increasing Monthly

The earnings of the Ocean Shore Raway-whe
under construction-with inadequate facilities
with insufficient and ocomotves-with the
road barely reaching the producing country along
the route and during abnormally hard times-have
been far in excess OF the expectations of the most
conservative experts These earnings are excel
lent indication of future profits with through line

Mind you, the Ocean Shore has made these
earnings possible.

men thoroughly cogniZant OF terminal values from
practical experience in railroading throughout the
United States.
The Ocean Shore Railway is capitalized
for $5,000,000 and every share of stock is
sued.
The stock holders have actually invested in the
railway in cash S3375, ,1O965. The directors re-
Gently levied an assessment of $500 per share,
which will amount to S250O00 additional invest
ment on the part of the stock holders.
The total sale of the bonds amounts to 245 296S5
which sum has been invested in the railway, making
a total investment OF about S6,000OO0
The company has on hand about S2,5O0OO0 worth
of bonds The money received from the sale of these
bonds will than complete the railway to Santa
Cruz, and place this company in position to
not only the interest all its bonded Indebtedness,
but large profit for the stock holders.

There has always been every reason Why
the bonds Of the Ocean Shore Railway
Company were a good investment, but
there is better reason to buy them nOU

OF this railroad. This timber must be hauled to
market, and it only be tapped by the Ocean
Shore. The present agricultural products OF the
country between San Francisco and Santa Cruz are
very large but nothing compared to what they will
be when the owners of these lands in posi-
ton to ship their products to market quickly.
The estimate made by those who have taken the
census is as follows
The San Francisco call., 1908-10-11
Ocean Shore Bonds

These bonds secured by a first mortgage
against the entire assets of the company. These
assets consist OF very valuable real in San
Francisco Santa Cruz and Granada and other points
along the line, valued at over 100000; perpetual
right OF way for 78 miles-forty y-eight miles OF rail
way in actual operation, 125 freight cars, 10 pas
senger coaches, locomotives and two electric
motors large freight yards at lslais Greek and the
city terminal in the block bounded by Mission, Mar
ket, Eleventh and Twelfth Streets.
These bonds being a first mortgage are first
lien against the company and the interest must be
paid to the bond holders before the stock holders
receive cent OF dividends
AS the stock holders have invested about
three and half millions, you may depend
upon it that the interest on the bonds will
be paid, for otherwise the stock holders
would lose the amount of money they have
paid in.
Ocean Shore bonds are issued in denominations of
S10O and $1,000, which pay per cent interest on
their face value, SAB per cent on their selling
price which is S93 for cash or S97 on installments
OF S17 down and $40 month
Times becoming normal, money is getting
easier, and before another year the Ocean Shore
Railway will be completed and in excellent fnan-
cial condition. running through to Santa Cruz not
only earning sufficient money to pay the interest
its bonded indebtedness but to repay its stock
holders for their investment patience and forbear-
ance.
lation down coast as magnificent as the Pacific
with as rich territory tributary to the line, is a
big enterprise and destined to be very profitable.
Now is the time to invest in Ocean Shore
bonds. In another six months perhaps you
will not have the opportunity, and it is pref
erable that our local people hold these Sc
curities rather than have them 60 east or to
foreign countries, where the bond holders
would have no interest in the railway other
than the money they make on their invest
ment
The Ocean Shore Railway Co. is developing a
country which is going to benefit all the State This
development will enrich all and in the aggregate
make great deal more money for the people Of
this State than it will make for its owners
Railroads must be built by the people They are
too big to be financed by an Individual They bene-
fit all the people, because they increase the pros
perity OF the country by developing It's resources.
They part OF the people, and therefore the peo-
pie should help to build them
The San Francisco call., 1908-10-11
When the Ocean Shore is completed to
Santa Cruz and over to Watsonville the
earnings will be very large

Conservative, practical railwaymen have gone
over the country between San Francisco and Wat
sonville making census of its products its indus
tries and what may be expected from freight ton
mage standpoint the railway is in posi-
ton to take all the business offered. Their esti-
mates show beyond any question OF doubt that
the revenue of the Ocean Shore will be in excess of
81 100000 year in freight.
The two billion feet Of timber
IL adjacent to the line and the u.s.
fsstA 600 acres of agricultural land
lUm6cyAnMs along the road are sufficient
justification for the building
The San Francisco call., 1908-10-11

The average rate OF freight accrung to the Ocean
Shore Railway this traffic being about 81 40 per
ton. Daily average tonnage 1893 tons equal to 20
cars of Is tons. Annual revenue from freight
S959750OO
The above is very conservative estimate of the
freight earnings when the Ocean Shore is COM
pleted to Santa Cruz
The freight business in and about Wat
sonville is not taken into consideration in
the above statement.
There are $1,000 acres of apples under
cultivation in the Pajaro Valley, and the es-
timated output this season is 4,500 carloads
In addition to apples there are several thousand
acres planted to berries garden truck and other
products.
What rich and productive country the Ocean
Shore will enter
The passenger business is destined to be
very large. Sunday October 4, 1908, the
Ocean Shore Railway carried 5000 passen
gers between San Francisco and Granada
all the people possible with it's limited fa-
cilities
There is an everlasting fascination about the
Ocean and the public never tires of this attraction
The Ocean Shore Railway skirts the ocean for
enty miles between San francisco and Santa Cruz,
and presents to the passengers the grandest scenery
viewed from any railroad train in this country.
When completed the Ocean Shore will make the
run to Santa Cruz IN between two and three hours.
There is enormous traffic between San Francisco,
and Santa Cruz every Summer, and it will increase
wonderfully when the Ocean Shore is completed,
for this line not only presents attractive scenery
for the passenger, but runs along the Coast where
the cool ocean breeze makes the ride very pleasant
from start to finish.
Another large asset which should be taken
into consideration is the terminal facilities
and real estate owned by this company in
San Francisco.
No other road runs to Market Street
Leading real estate men OF San Francisco say
that the future center of this City is Van Ness
Avenue and Market Street The Ocean Shore
starts from this point
1t is believed within few years large terminal

all the trains going from and coming to San Fran
cisco will arrive and depart from this depot.

SKULL CRUSHED.

Little "Jack" Mace, the bright a.
vear-old son Of DR.. and Mrs. j. c.
Mace of Marion, was brought to the
Columbia hospital this week to un-s
dergo an operation for a fracture OF
the skull. he having received very
severe kick on the forehead by a.
horse Wednesday afternoon. The
skull was crushed just above the right
eve and it was found necessary to re-
move a section about 2 by 3 inches.
The operation was successfully
performed and the little fellow Is
getting along astonishii7gly well. Hs
has not been unconscious since he re-
ceived the wound and yesterday
seemed as bright and cheerful as eV-
er he was. His brain does not appear
to be affected in the least by the
blow and if his condition continues
favorable for tho next three or four
days the physicians at the hospital
believe he will recover entirely.
Mrs. Mace came up yesterday to
5e at the bedside Of "Jaek' and DR..
Mace returned to Marion to attend
to some important business but ex-
poets to return TO Columbia this ev-
ening. The injury to the little fal-
low was a severe blow to his parents
but they are hopeful Of his recovery.

Mimnaugh's Great Ten Day Sale.

Saturday morning, January Is, at
9 o'clock, the great sale at MINI
naugh's big store will begin. This
sale is to continue for the period OF
ten days. Mimnaugh says the only
way to down him is to kill him. He
expects to prove the truth of this
statement at this sale. Dry goods OF
all kinds and descriptions, in fact
everything in this wonderful store
are to be sold at prices never before
heard of in the town Of Newberry.
Mimnaugh has a fine stock; no store
in the Carolinas can beat it. II you
want anything to Wear, or to make
yourself look a little better than you
do, 60 to Mimnaugh's Saturday
morning. Mimnaugh says he isn't
hard up for money, that he doesn't
owe a cent in the world, but that ne
must get rid of his surplus stock. His
greatest reason for this sale is that
he would rather have the money than
the goods.

HITTING AT THE SOUTH.
New York Congressman Offers Bill
to Reduce Representation
Here.

Washington. D. c.. January TO-
Knockers are already at work trying
10 reduce the representation OF the
Southern states in congress-for the
alleged reason that the negroes IN the
south are disfranchised and not Civ
Ell the right to vote. Heretofore et-
forts along this line have been foster
ed bv Gen. Keifer. of Ohio, but this
yea: a new bill has been Introduces
by Representative Bennett, OF New
York.
If this bill passes it will affect the
Southern states as follows:
Alabama from mine representatives
to five.
Arkansas from seven representa-
tives to five.
Florida from three representatives
to two.
Georgia from eleven representa-
tives to six.
Louisiana from seven representa-
tives to four.
= Mississippi from eight representa-
tives to three.
North Carolina from ten represen-
tatives to seven.
South Carolina from seven repres-
entatives to three.
Tennessee from ten representatives
to eight.
Texas from sixteen representatives
to thirteen.
Virginia from ten representatives
to seven.
1t will readily be seen that should
this bill pass it would require an
entirely redistricting Of all the South
err: states, as it would be impossible
for the smaller number of representa-
tives to be chosen as the districts are
at PRESENT divided. Another thing
about this bill is that by breaking up
the present congressional districts it
would encourage the negroes Of the
south to come forward and vote, AMI
maav contests would have to be
settled.
Nh. Bennett has always been look
ed upon as opposed to immigration
Of anv kind to the south, or anything
that would tend to its upbuildlng or
commercial prosperity.
