Mr. S. F. Patton, commercial agent for
the Plant system at Montgomery was in
the city yesterday.
Mr.. D. f. Jack, freight traffic manager
of the Plant system, returned yesterday
| from a trip to the east. Mr.. Jack was ask
ed about the reported deal that has been
made between the Plant system and the
Charleston and Western Carolina, by
which the latter road IS to get into Char-
| lesion He said that such action is not
improbable, but that it has not yet been
settled, that the Charleston and Western
Carolina is to get into Charleston at once
over the Plant system tracks from the
roads junction point, Yemassee. The
Charleston and Western Carolina has had
the talked-of arrangement under conid-
Grafton for over a year. Its entrance into
Charleston would entail a considerable eX-
pense in the maintenance Of terminal Off
ces and conveniences and it is at that 1t
hesitates. The two roads have been ac-
customed to interchange traffic at Yem9s-
see and their system of operation will be
continued till fail a all events, when the
Charleston and Western Carolina may en-
ter by the Pant systems tracks.
