is not in perfect harmony with the man
agement He knows of no one in an,
thority who is antagon:stic to him. Mr..
Anderson says that instead of having
been with the road three years as stated,
that he has been constantly in the en-
ployment of the Seaboard Airline thir-
teen years; that instead of having been
attached to the Seaboard Airline under
the Winder regime he was first EN-
ployed by the Robertson management
when Mr.. Hoffman was vicepresdent.
When asked if he and the vice-presi-
dent were getting along tremendously
he said that never more smoothly than
at the present time.
The Seaboard Airline, which seems
ever ready to extend its territory, as
well as its facilities, is now interested
in Il projected new line from Winston.
y. c.. to the South Carolina border, says
the Baltimore American. The purpose of
the contemplated road is to connect it
with the Norfolk and Western, which
runs from Roanoke to Winston, con-
tinuing Southwark towards the South
Carolina systems, thus giving it a
through line to the South via Winston.
The terms upon which the new line is
to be built are believed to be parti-
cularly advantageous to the promoters of
the enterprise. Concessions have been
secured from the State which, when ope-
rated, will make possible the construction
of the road ut an exceptionally low ag-
gregate of cost.
According to the effected understand
ing the State of North Carolina will
survey the road. build the bridges and
grade the bed to the full limit of the
States territorial jurisdiction. The work
thereon will be performed by conyicts III
the State prisons. for which the State
will exact from the corporation the trl-
fling charge of 1925 for each convict per
year Nor will this per annum pay be
required in cash. Arrangements have
been made by which the State will accept
in lieu of the money an equivalent in the
common stock of the company. Neither
bonds nor preferred stock will be de-
manded, the common stock itself will be
deemed sufficient.
The purpose of the promoters is to or
ganize the company under the liberal
charter it has secured. and after affairs
have developed to that point where sue
cess is assured. terms will be made with
some established road which will push
it through speedily.
The Norfolk and Western, the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Seaboard Airline
will each be approached, and 1T is through
one of these that the originators OF the
hope to secure Il consumma-
ton of their plans.
