Subscription to the Fund.
Sufficient funds for the placing Of
one boat on the Edisto River, in the
event the stream is made navigable
by the Federal Government, having
been raised in this city, a committee
from here will visit Charleston on
next Tuesday to meet the business
!: men; of that city in the interest Of
another boat. It is confidently ex-
pected that Charleston will follow
! Orangeburg's lead and provide funds
for second boat. s, e,s
ChairmantW L. Glover, of the To-
cal committee, has notified Charles
tons new commercial secretary, yho
will no doubt see that the City by
! the Sea is well represented at the
meeting next Tuesday. The guaran-
seeing of at least two boats In the
Edisto will undoubtedly be strong
point in favor Of securing Govern
ment aid for the project.
The News and Courier, of Thurs
day morning, says advices were re-
ceived Wednesday from ,'Orange-
! burg by Mayor Rhett ito the effect
that a committee Of business men Of
that city would be in Charleston
next Tuesday morning for the pur-
: pose of comforting with the Chamber
OF Commerce and the business men
Of Charleston on the subject of boat
/; line from this city to Orangeburg
in the event that the Government
DECIDES to make the Edisto River
navigable between the two points.
The business interests of Orangebnrg
have subscribed over $4,000 for
the project, and it is now up to the
business men of this city to sub
scribe a like amount of money!.
Mayor Rhett is, of course, much
interested in the plan of establish
ing boat line between Charleston
and Orangeburg. He stated We'd
nesday that the plan is most ex-
cellent one and should receive the
hearty endorsement of the business
: interests in this city. In order to
show his interest in the matter in
concrete form, he has started a sub
scription list ana headed the paper
with a subscription Of $500. Be-
fore leaving the city Wedr esday for
Los Angeles, where he will attend
the National Bankers Association
meeting, Mayor Rhett wrote the fol-
lowing letter to Mr.. A. w. MeKeand,
secretary Of the Greater Chamber Of
Commerce, in regard to the Charles
ton-Edisto boat line:
- September S2s, 1910.
s. ''Mr. A.. W. Mckeand, Secretary.
Charleston, S. C.-Dear. Mr.. Nc
Keand: I have just had telephone
from Mr.. w. L. Glover, Orangeburg,
stating that a delegation from that
DOWN, consisting Of Messrs., M. o..
Dantzler, Nv. L. Glover, B. H. Moss,
r. H., Jennings, w. w. Wannamaker,
and possibly Congressman A. F. Law
er, will be here on Tuesday: morning
next for the purpose of comforting
with the Chamber Of Commerce and
the business men of Charleston on
! the subject of boat line from Char
lesion to Orangeburg to be put in op-
.-eration, provided the Government
shall make Edisto River navigaole
between this point and Orangeburg.
1T is Of the greatest Importance
that bona-fide subscription for such
boat line be put with the engineer
ing department before it's report is
made. This subscription must con-
sist of $4,000 from Charleston and
$4,000 from Orangeburg. The Or
angeburg business men have over
subscribed their amount. It is now
Incumbent upon us to subscribe a
alike amount. The importance of op-
ening up the river between here and
Orangeburg in my judgment, is
greater to the interests of Charles
ton than for the interest of Orange
burg. .@a- = ;t.l-s;
''I am having a, subscription list
prepared to enclose you herewith
and have headed the list with a sub
scription Of $500, which am pre-
pared to increase if necessary to Sc
cure the amount required
Il will be glad If you will confer
with Mr.. Williams or MT. Jahnz II
either of them are here and get
committee Of twenty-five behind this
proposition. We must have rap-
resentative gathering to meet these
gentlemen.
II am sure the business men will
not hesitate to make up this amount
The main point is to have, it made
up with rush and zest which w,il
give confidence to the outside world
that we are interested in all i'm
provements which are going to re-
dound to the benefit of the city and
State. I am sorry cannot be pres
ent, but am confident you will be
able to work it out in way to do
the most good. Very truly yours,
R. G. Rhett.
