Southbousd train No. 81 Of the Charles

The delay was caused by the derailment OF

this time, but officials of the Ceatral rail-
road spoken to about the matter, said it
was only the same old canard.
The demand for freight cars is so great
throug out the coun ry that the car shops
cannot build them fast enough. Every car
building factory in the country is running
night and day, still the number Of new cars
turned out does not appear to fill up the
gap. The diff rent railroads have to take
part of their orders in turn, as the shops
cannot fill out aay one order entire. but

which not many years ago was so small a
system as not to be bothersome, has come
to be a rival of the Coast Line system. The
present trouble arises from tie fact that
until recently New York shipments via the
Atlantic Coast Line would go from Ports
mouth to Weldon via the Seaboard and r "a
noke road, W ich was considered a par of
the Atlantic Coast Line. The Seaboard Line
was the initial road for goods over the At
lantic Coast Line, and goods marked for
this road were hauled by the Seaboard Line
as far as Weldon and then turned over to
the Coast Line. But with tue growth
of both lines things have changed.
The Atlantic Coast Line has built the Tar
boro branch from Rocky Mountain to
point near Portsmouth, and in that wav
done away with the Seaboard and Roam
oke road. The Seaboard, or Jno. Robin
son system, has extended its line through
North Carolina and South Carolina and is
now making for Atlanta. The disputed
question is, are goods marked in cars of the
Atlantic Coast Line to be given the Sea-
board and Ranoke line. as was done nm
