A NEW EXPRESS COMPANY.

Back of the scheme.
Waycross, Ga, July News reached
here to-day from Atlanta. through a re-
liable source, to the effect that the South
ern railway is quietly preparing a sensa-
ton in the railway world by establishing a
new express company. The rumor says
that the Southern has its eye on several
important railroads in this and several
other southern states with a view of OBJ
tanning possession of them preparatory to
starting new express company to COM
pete with Mr. Plants express company
The scheme appears TO have been planned
so early as the Southerns reorganization
last year, when it scooped the East Ten
nessee and other railroads. A perfect net
work of railways in the south in the con-
troll of one powerful system would more
than justify the establishment of new ex-
press company by that system. And hence
the Southern is adding railroad after rail-
road 10 its system to that end.
