WORK ON NEW RAILROAD,
FORCE OF HANDS BREAKS DIRT
ON ORANGEBURG LINE.
Charter Gives Right to Extend Line
to Charleston, Columbia and Au-
guSta, Which May be Done.

Orangeburg, Feb. 2.-The first
work in actual construction of the
Orangeburg railroad was begun to-
day when a gang of laborers were
placed at work at the Orangeburg
terminal of the line On Monday an
other force of laborers will be placed
at Bull swamp crossing and addition
al forces will be placed along the
line until the desired force to carry
on the work is had.
The line is to be built from Orange
burg to North, distance of about IS
miles, with the view Of extension in
the near future to Springfield. 1t is
expected that the railroad will be
ready for operation some time next
fall
Under the charter Of the Orange
burg railroad it has the right to con-
struct it's line from Oangeburg into
Charleston. Columbia and Augusta.
which will ultimately be the route of
the railroad.
The territory Of Orangeburg county
through which this railroad is being
constructed, is Il very rich and pros
porous section and one that has no
direct railroad correction with the
county scat. The road will be Of great
benefit to the city Of Orangeburg and
the city has voted 500, in bonds to
aid in it's construction.
The passenger service over the line
will be hauled in Gas-eicctric cars.
while locomotive engines will be used
to handle the freight traffic. Traf-
tic arrangements have been perfected
with the Seaboard Air Line railroad.
With the completion Of the Orange
burg railroad, Orangeburg will have
the thee great competing railroads of
South Carolina, the Atlantic Coast
Line, Southern and Seaboard, running
into her borders. 1t is expected that
the steamboat line to be placed upon
the Edisto ricer, plying between
Orangeburg and Charleston, will be of
great power in the matter Of securing
very low freight rates.

burS's most public spirited business

The glittering gem, weighing "A 1-2

is now locked up in the vault of Mr..

was made by Mr.. Mclean from a syn

three months ago bought the gem
from a similar syndicate in Paris.
Mr. Mclean, the new owner of the

purchase was true, admitting the truth
Of the story and avowing a full knowl-
