| Fire on the A. & S. Railroad
{Augusta & Savannah RR} |
| We regret to learn that some cars loaded
with cotton took fire on Monday last {April 22}
while the freight train was near McBean station, on its way down,
about seventy-five yards of the track was burnt, three cars and one
hundred and forty-two bales of cotton. It is supposed the cotton took
fire while passing the woods on fire in the neighborhood of Bennet's
Mills. |
