EXPECT NO FURTHER TROUBLE
From The Daily Item. July 20.

From The Daily Item. July 20.
IA was learned today that no fur
ther troubles are expected by the
railroads from the high waters now 81,
the w'ateree. Congaree and santee
rivers The water will not rise SUM
cientiy at Remini Or st. stephens to
block traffic over the bridges and tres,
ties at those places. All trains are
operating according to their usual
schedules except thoso between sum
ter and Columbi1. me train each
way Is operated ever day between
sumter and Columb This morning
this train was run over the Southern
road, which affords q more direct
route than.the one by Denmark. which
It has been taking. These trains,
however, do not do local traffic. as
they will not compete with the South
|ern. The train leaves Sumter at 1i:15
and leaves Columbia on the return
trip at 4:15. according to the usual
schedule. 'ftt'
The trestle over the Wateree which
was washed away during the high wa
ter Is rapidly being replaced at pres
ent. and 1t Is thought that the road
will again be ready for trains by next
Tuesday or Wednesday. This work
would probably have been nearly oom-
pleted by now, had 1t not been for
tho second rise in the river which
hindered the work and delayed it fol-
some time. 49, ''.'''' =
! 1t was stated today that trains over
the Southern between Columbia and
Spartanburg have again resumed op-
erations and access Is thus obtained
to the northwestern part of the State
over a nearly direct route.
