CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 1.-The air is
full of rumors Of trouble among the en-
ployes of the South Carolina railway. One
rumor is TO the effect that the conductors
are ON their way here from Pittsburg, Pa.
to take the places of the present force. The
story goes that the new general manager
thinks that the present CONDUCTORS know
too many people, and he thinks that the re-
ceipts of the road from passenger traffic
will be increased by getting conductors
who are not so widely known as the present
force. it is said to be insinuated by the
new management that under the old regime
the railway hauled more deadheads than
pay passengers There are also rumors of
coming wholesale changes in the mechanical
departments. These are. of course, only
rumors, but they cause good deal Of un-
easiness in railroad circles.
