TnE report that comes from New York
that Jay Gould and his son George have
secured $4,000 shares Of stock in the Rich
mOnd Terminal system is the subject of
much discussion in railroad circles said
prominent railroad official yesterday.
"The news OF such n mammoth deal by
the Goulds makes the matter one OF spe-
cial Importance, inasmuch as the South
will boast OF the principal point on the
Gould system-Memphis. The combina-
ton would give the Goulds leverage ior
East and West business that would prove
most dangerous for their competitors"
Such deal it is thought would insure the
early construction OF the Memphis d
Charleston Road from Stevenson, Ala, to
Chattanooga. This short piece OF road
seems to be more a matter OF necessity each
year The Memphis d Charleston having
a traffic arrangement with the Nashville x
Chattanooga Road, is hampercd more or
less by bonds arising on account OF such
an arrangement. Ii is considered a mat.
ter of course that il Mr.. Gould has "say
So in the Memphis d Charleston the line
will be built.
