New York Capitalists Watching
Col. Boone's Movements

handsomest looking man on the streets
yesterday. He is just back from
Washington and New York and was
logged in an up,to-date fashion. He
said he was surprised to learn how
universally known Col. Boone is in
both Washington and New York, and
the fact that he is engaged in rail
road enterprise. II is a solemn fact
that heavy capitalists are keeping
both eyes on Boone and his enter
prise. They consider him one of the
most successful railway promoters in
America and unhesitatingly say so,
and they are as confident as Boone
himself seems to be, that he will put
the road to full realization.
But the most encouraging and in
teresting man he met was gentleman
from Anderson, S. c. He met him
on the train and he said that when
the people in South Carolina heard
how unanimously they had
voted $500, 600 of shares of stock to
Boone's enterprise, they simply went
wild all along the line. Judging from
past experiences. dating over a cen
Jury Of time, they feared old Knox
vile would not wake up and endorse
the new opportunity presented by
Boone, and that the enterprise would
be blocked by apathy and self con-
tentment on this side of the noun
tains. SO The result of the city and
county elections on the Boone pro-
noting fund set them on fire with
enthusiasm as they have never been
/, before.
