RAILROAD LINK IMPORTANT.
Walterboro, Ehrhardt and Other
Places Expect to Derive Benefits.

Prospects are at present bright for
direct railroad connection between
Bamberg county and the Charleston
Savannah Atlantic Coast Line route.
Connection is to be obtained with
this line at present only as far into
Bamberg county as Ehrhardt, the
terminus of the Walterboro branch
with which connection is made by a
stop-over at the main line station of
Green Pond. The possible points of
extension of the existing WATERFORD
Ehrhardt branch lie at Bamberg on
the Southern and Denmark, through
which place pass the Seaboard,
Southern and Coast Line. A direct
line to Denmark would open up con-
nections with three railways and the
Savannah Branch of the Southern
leading out of Charleston, thus CIV
ing Colleton and Bamberg counties a
vein of traffic, which has been spoken
of and hoped for by the inhabitants
of the two sections for years.
The Denmark-Ehrhardt line would
be nineteen miles in length. Con-
nection between Ehrhardt and Bam-
berg can be established by the lay
ing of about twelve miles Of track
ing. This line would tap the South
ern, and seven miles to the north
west of Bamberg would reach Den
mark and connection with the other
lines mentioned as passing through
that place. The people of Bamberg
have held a charter for the construc-
ton of an Ehrhardt-Bamberg line
for a number of years, and it Is said
that the contract for building this
connecting link has been let. In
that case there appears to be a pos
sfbility of two connections between
the present terminus Of the Walter
boro branch and the main line rail-
Ways OIL CuS 0ldIC.
The only line at present running
out of Ehrhardt in addition to the
Walterboro road is five-mile lum-
Der branch of the Hacker Lumber
Company. This piece of track, how
ever, does not affect the traffic of the
place, as it simply leads to the tim
ber tracts of the company. The
building of a connecting link will
mean much to the lumber concern,
furnishing as it will, an outlet north
directly instead of a roundabout trip
to the south through WATERFORD for
shipments to the upper part OF the
State. This link will soon be an i'm
perative necessity to the lumber
concern, as new kilns and plants
have been installed by the men who
bought out the old proprietors, and
large timber holdings have been ad-
ded to the former sources Of materi-

diction has been freely made that all
circular track records will go by the
board during the two days meet. Near
ly all the best-known American drivers,

joys the distinction of having driven
an automobile faster than any other
man in the world, have been engaged
to drive. Burman has his Bitten Benz
car Of a00-horsepower tuned up for the
races, and his work will be watched
with keen interest by the thousands of
enthusiasts who are expected to throns
the course.

Louis Disbrow. Hughie Hughes, Harry
Cobe, Ralph Beardsley. Ralph De Pal
ma. Bob Burman, Lee Anderson. Fay
