This scribe visited Charleston and
Mt. Pleasant Xmas week. We can't
ever join in the cry: Don't speak
lightly of the Dead" as so often re-
ferring to Charleston after an expert
ence there. Arriving as we did at 9
D. m. in a pouring rain we were
warmly and cordially received in the
ladies' waiting room by Miss Fowler,
who represents the Travellers Pro-
tective Association, the work of the
Y. w. c.. A. She ordered the car
riage, put us in, went with us, and
did not stop till this scribe was in a
warm room of boarding house. We
do not meet such courtesy in all
strange cities, and will never forget
it. Down the country" we could
hear of nothing but the new proposed
railway across the harbor-expected
to go even as far as McClellanville.
1t is proposed to bridge Cooper River
from a point opposite Calhoun street.
The railroad would run over Hog
Island to Mt. Pleasant, thence across
another trestle to Sulivan's Island,
through Beach Inlet to the Isle OF
Palms. They would use the same
tracks nows used from Mt. Pleasant
to Isle of Palms. 1t would be operated
by storage battery cars. The time now
REQUIRED to make the trip from Char
lesion to the Isle of Palms is an hour.
The new route will make it in 27
minutes. Senator Tillman has con-
sented to use his influence in congress
to pass bill getting permission from
the government to span the cooper
river. This bridge would have to be
constructed with a draw span to al
low the passing of vessels up to the
navy yard and lumber plants higher
up the river.
