GOSSIP OF THE NEW ROAD.
Business Picking up EncouragingIy.
Talk of The Extension.

The business of the new South Car
olina and Western road seems to be
developing into Florence in a most
encouraging manner. 1t is the
freight business that makes a road
pay, and the warehouse of the new
road is seemingly always filled with
incoming and outgoing freight, and
the freight trains that are run ON the
new road seem to be comfortably long
and we'll filled.
The extension of this road into the
lower part of this county is going
to give it its great development in
freight business, for that will be its
first entry into new territory.
A great deal of good work has
been done on the road bed recently
and it is now in fairly good condition
for making a schedule on.
The people of this section are
very anxious to see the extension
of the road from Florence TO George
town, and it will not be long before
that work will be started. There are
number of good things dependent
on the extension of this road for
development into actualities
Mr.. Bonsal was here a few days
ago, but Mr.. Bonsal does not talk
very much. He is one of the pro-
moters who does what he wants on a
real business basis and does not want
the publicity until after Il is done.
The work on the new road To sum-
er is being pushed with energy, and
will soon he in operation, and the
work on the Pee Dee river trestle
is going on well now since the big
| aims have about stopped. but il has
been a heavy fight against TIE high
water ever since the work was begun.
