This leaves the South Bound railroad
without general manager or general

along very nicely, however, under the man.

ger, his resignation not having yet been ac-
cepted by President Conner who is president
of both the Central and the South Bound
railroads.
Mr. Wadley does not allow his dual po-
sition to operate dlsadvantageously to
either corporation, the position as general
manager of the South Bound being q sec
ondary consideration with him now, and

ports of the South Bound being managed in
the interests of the Central or traffic divert
ed from the Central to the South Bound are
pronounced by those who know to
be false. Supt Wadley declined to
discuss the reports given publicity
In Atlanta of traffic being diverted from the
Central for the South Bounds benefit, be-
cause of the two roads being at present
under the same official control except to say
that they were baseless fabrications and I'M
worthy Of notice. Railroad meu, however,
who heard the story ridicued the idea of
the Richmond and Danville railroad going
out OF its way to protect the interests of the
Central
The various ways In which the Richmond
and Danvllle has not regarded the Central's
interests since the connection between the
two corporations was severed. is ample
proof against any overkindly feeling on
the part OF the Richmond and Danville
The Atlanta rumor is regarded as only
another lily concealed attempt to embarrass
the Centraps management. All who are
acquainted with the situation know that the
South Bound, while in position to be a COM
petitor of the Central to some ex-
tent, is doing very little through
business, especially from the CentraPs
territory. II is more a competitor of the
Coast Line than of the Central. If either OF
the two roads is the sufferer by the present
situation it is the South Bound. which is
overshadowed by its big neighbor.
A South Bound man said yesterday that
the Richmond and Danville man who
started the Atlanta story had distorted the
facts very nicely with regard to the compe-
ton of the Central and the South Bound
for passenger business. 1t is true,
he said that the South Bound is
carrying passengers out of Savannah
for Augusta and turning them
over to the Port Royal and Western Caro-
lima at its junction at Fairfax. This might
appear as poor policy for the Central rail-
road on its face, but when 1t was stated that
the South Carolina railway, with which the
South Bound also has connection for Au-
gusta, was very willing to make a connect
ing schedule it would seem that it was better
for the Central to get half the fare by way
Of the Port Royal and Western Carolina
railroad than to lose it altogether This was
Central 1t is we'll known, he said,
that the South Bound had the
advantage Of a much shorter line to Ashe-
Vile than the Central railroad, and 30 the
South Bound easily got the better Of its
competitor for this business
One instance Of the Richmond and Dam
villes friendliness for the Central meu-
toned in the report was that il refused to
make q Connection with the South Bound at
Columbia for northern travel because it
would injure the Central. The facts OF the
case, as stated by a South Bound official,
are that the Richmond and Danville agreed
TO take through sleeper from the South
Bound at Columbia, and the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway also
agreed to give 1t a connec.
ton at this end of the line
After ell the parties had agreed to the
arrangement, however, it was found that
1t was impossible for the South Bound to
arrange a schedule that could make the
connections at each end, and 80 the project
was abandoned.
This is an Instance OF the Richmond and
Danville looking out for the Central's in
terests.
The other instances are OF very much the
same order.
