with the facts established by Table No. |.
OF the sixty-eight industries included,
IS per cent. of them show an increased

DENIED BUT MAY BETRUE
TIE SAM ROADS DEAL FOR THE
SAVANNA AND WESTERN.

A General Impression That II Hss
Been Consummsted and Only Awaits
to be Officially Announced-A Prob
able Line TO be Built IL the Deal is
Not Made.
The impression 10 pretty general that a
deal Of some kind has been consummated
by which the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery railroad has obtained control
Of that portion OF the Savannah and
Western between Meldrim and Lyons.
That it has been made, aud only awaits the
arranging Of the necessary preliminaries TO
be given 10 the public ofiicially. is denied,
however, by the interested roads, which is
a usual mode Of procedure among railroads
more or less until everything has been
satisfactorily arranged.
The publication IN Saturdays MORNING
News of the efforts OF the Savannah.
Americas and Montgomery to get control OF
the Savannah and Western either by pur-
chase or lease from the Richmond and DAN
Vile. which was the first publication In the
state, caused considerable talk and specula-
tion among Savannahisns as TO the final
outcome.
The opinion OF those who do not think
deal has been made is that the Richmond
and Danville will accept the terms Of Col.
Hawkins as a matter of self-protectlon.
Without the extension of the Savannah and
Western TO a good connection, and with a
line paTallelinq il from Lyons TO Savannah,
the road would be dead wood TO tho big
system, a source Of expense without any
revenue being derived. The disposal OF the
property to the Sam would in no wise
weaken the Richmond and Danville, but
would BIS the getting rid of what now is an
Improbable branch.
The Savannah and Western is bonded
pretty heavily, but the Sam road has done
such prosperous business and will continue
10 do so In increased volume with line to
Savannah that IL can well afford TO take
the Savannah and Western with all its
burdens.
Probably before the end Of this week
there will be some definite announcement
whether the Sam has got the Richmond and
Danville branch or whether it will be COM
PEELED to build 20 Savannah. II the latter
turns out to be the case the work OF build
ing the extension from Lyons paralleling
the Savannah and Western will commence
at once and will be pushed rapidly with a
large force of hands.

TO PUT Up TIE BUILDING.
The New ONCE Structure to Begil
april 1.

The New ONCE Structure to Begin
april /.
]. o. Wynn, state agent OF the Provident
Savings and Life Assurance Society Of New
YORK. is at the De Soto. Mr.. Wynn said
last night that the question of the Office
building. which bis company proposed to
erect at Bryan and Drayton streets, is not
fully settled yet. Il is believed, however,
thatsthe building will be erected.
Mr.. Wynn said that the tenants Of the
present buildi Is on the company's prop
erty on the northeast corner OF Bryan and
Drayton streets we're notified Saturday to
vacate ths premises within thirty days, &C
cOrding to contract. April the work of
tearing down the present buildings will be
begun The notice to tenants to vacate and
the tearing down Of the buildings is consid-
cred a pretty good sign that a new building
will soon occupy the site Of the old one.
Mr.. Wynn. while he said the matter was
not fully determined, gave an idea OF the
building now under consideration by the
company. II will be four stories IN hight,
occupying the full space Of the lot, 60x9O
feet, built OF buff brick with terra Gotta
trimmings, with large windows ard large
plate glass door fronts. The building will
be similar in appearance TO the new court
house. A wide hallway will divide the GEN.
ter Of the building, with a large entrance
with marble wainscoting. The building
will be equipped with an elevator and steam
heaters and will be handsomely finished,
both interior and exterior. It will be an
ornament to that portion of the city and
will compare favorably with the new board
OF trade building near by.
Mr.. Wynn desires TO have the first floor
occupied by two banks. He has secured
one bank, and is now negotiating for an>
other. The upper floors will be fitted for
offices.
Mr.. Wynn said that owing to discourage
company came near abandoning the idea of
the building altogether, but It gathered
confidence after inspecting the field. The
encouragement shown and the inducement
given to the enterprise, he said, would have
it's effect upon the character OF the building
eracfed
