a genuine sensation developed in this
city to-day when the schooner Donna Il.

IT seems probable that a deal is on foot

mated. but the name Of the road likely 10

Rumors TO the effect that the road was
about 20 pass into the control Of both the
Seaboard Airline and Of the Southern
are current The Southern may be the
prospective purchaser. but 1t IS certain
that the Seaboard Airline does not con-
template making a bid FOR the road.
Mr.. John Shelton Williams. president
Of the Seaboard. said last night that MS
road had not considered the purchase OF
tho South Carolina and Georgia. This
set one rumor at rest

Charleston last night stated that so far
as known the South Carolina and Geor-
gia had not been sold TO anybody. 1nls
partially. at least. disposed Of rumors
ina. the sale OF the road had already
been consummated. The report that the
Southern Is negotiating for the road IS
not vet i'm any way COntradicteG.
The Charleston News and Courier says
that no one could be found in that city
who was willing to be given as authority
for the statement that the Southern sys-
tenn contemplated buying the road. Con-
tiuulng, the paper quoted iIohi '''''
There have been some traffic men VINO
have long believed that the Southern
would sooner or later seek to buy the
South Carolina and Georgia. They based
their opinion on the assumption that the
Southern could not continue TO allow
line which came in such sharp compete
ton with il at many points to maintain
an Independent existence. This view OF
the matter has grown in strength since
the Ohio river and Charleston fell into
the hands OF the South Carolina ana
Georgia management. and since the "Oid
Reliable" people have grown so agrees
sive I'm their efforts TO obtain firm foot
hold in the up-country. There can be no
doubt OF the fact that any desire the
Southern may ever have had 70 buy the
South Carolina and Georgia has vastly
increased since that line touched Gaffney

tend its rails 10 Spartanburg, but whe-
ther or not matters have come 10
