SUPERINTENDENT TALCOTT RESIGNS
HIS POSITION.
The State, March 30.]
One of the most Important railroad
changes that has occurred recently has
Just been made, and it will no doubt
create considerable surprise. Superin-
tendent George R. Talcott, of the Char
lotte, Columbia and Augusta, and Co.
lumbia and Greenville Eoads, has ten
dered his resignation to the controlling
company.
Last evening it was ascertained in an
accidental way that Col. Talcott had
resigned. The authority for the state
ment is the best, as it comes directly
from gentleman to whom Col. Tai
cot himself gave the information. 1t
is all the more surprising, as Col. Tai
colt had but few days ago declined to
say whether the rumor that he in
tended to resign was true or not. His
resignation will 60 into effect on april
Is.
He has been in the service of the rail-
road company for eleven years and has
made a very efficient officer. He is
superintendent of the Columbia and
Greenville, and Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta roads, as we'll as of the
Chester and Lenoir and Cheraw and
Chester narrow gauge roads, having
under his control about 625 miles of
railroad. The cause of his resignation
or his future movements cannot be as
certained.
It almost certain that his successor
is to be Mr.. john Dodson, the present
superintendent of the Georgia, Carroll
ma and Northern Railroad, with head
quarters at Abbeville. 1t was rumored
last night that such was the case, and
that Superintendent Dodson had al
ready handed in his resignation to the
management of his road. Mr.. Dodson
is thorough railroad man and will,
no doubt, be worthy successor to Col.
Talcott. Col. Talcott's retirement from
railroad circles means great loss to
that business.
SHORT ROUTE TO GREENvILLE.
Especial to News and Courier
LAURENs, March 25.-Laurens is
rather congratulating herself on the
consolidation of the Central system
with the Richmond and Danville Over
the Greenville and Laurens and New
berry and Laurens Railroad the dis
tance between Greeuville and Columbia
is thirty miles shorter than over the
regular Greenville and Columbia line.
Inasmuch as both these roads will now
be under the same management Lau-
rens is very hopeful that through
trains over them from Greenville to
Columbia will be among the blessings Of
the near future.
