TO the Southern Railway Com,
pany was talked OF on the stock
exchange TODAY, and, in quart
ers usually we'll informed, it j.
believed that the former prop
erty may pass into the hands of
the latter company. It is all
legged that proposals to buy a
controlling interest in the stock
of the Geaboard Air Line have
been recently made, and it is
believed that the proposition is
made in behalf Of the Southern
Railway Company, which Is
known to be anxious to secure
control of the Seaboard, which
is the only draw back to its am

the Southeastern railroad situa

the event a deal is not consum

which is now bottled up iG At
