The probabilities OF the Seaboard

dispatches from Georgetown say
that the Seaboard has made ar
rahsements there for the use of
terminals and It is expected that
they will soon enter that port. The
Sec board controls the road from
Lumberton to Marion and from Null
Inns up to their line in North Car

Georgetown.
Without this line through here
the system would not be complete
and with it there would be the fin

All OF this hangs on the ready CO.

1t has been understood for a long

of the road from Hartsville here

contigent upon their getting out OF
