IMPORTANT DEN0UEMENT
SURE TO OCCUR BEFORE THE
END or THE YEAR.
REVIVAL OF B. & 0. COMBINATION RUM0R
Il is Anxious for Southern 0ut t. Denial Of
the Report that Southern or Seaboard
has Bought the North
western.

A gentleman who is in position to
know asserted last night that there will
Ire developments in the railroad situation
in the South before the year is out
hardly less significant and rar-reaching
than the acquisition of the II. G. and l..
by the, Seaboard system.
''Thc Seaboard is the storm centre
just now" he declared. Its sudden
it few years ago as Il foreshortened
line with no northern or southern con-
nectionS has attracted all eyes TO it.
1t has now southern outlet. You
may depend upon it, it will not stop
until it has thoroughly satisfactory
connection with the north as well. This
may be done in one of several ways,
by building some new lines or by a close
traffic arrangement"
In support of his opinion he instanced
the declaration of President John Skel-
ton Williams at the meeting of the Sea-
board officials in New York on Tuesday
night of this week. 1t seems the Sea-
board has been endeavoring 10 perfect
arrangements for getting into Washing
ton over the tracks of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad.
Speaking Of this Mr.. Williams said:
MANY reports have been published
calculated to injure the Seaboard Air
Line. We care little for these. The
road has never been in the hands of
Il receiver, and has been a uniform sue
cess from the start. We are build
L
Va, to Ridgeway, n. c.. another of So
miles from Columbia to Cneraw, S. c.,
connecting with the Florida Central and
Peninsular, and still another of II miles
from Meldrin to Savannah. This will
give us $3.50 miles of continuous road.
I'VE expect to run our own trains
into Washington and engineers are
now surveying between Richmond and
the national capital That road will
surely be built unless we can make sat
isfactory terms with the Richmond,
fredericksburg and Potomac Company.
''1'he new line as constructed will
open short line from New York to
Tampa. making, indeed, the shortest to
Cuba and the West Indies. We have
all the money we need, and have refused
many offers of financial assistance"
There is also persistent rumor that
the Seaboard and the Baltimore and
Ohio will combine to meet the combina-
ton Of the Southern and the Pennsyl-
vania. This, it is asserted, will be done
not merely because the Seaboard wants
to secure a northern connection, but be-
cause the Baltimore and Ohio is equal
ly anxious to get into the South and the
combination would he n logical outcome
of the business necessities of both roads.
This rumor is strengthened by the posi-
tive denial from both Southern and Bal
timore and Ohio officials that these two
roads have reached an agreement.
Whatever the outcome may be the
situation for the rest OF the year will
remain one of absorbing interest not
only to New York financial circles but
to all the communities along the route
of the roads in question.

The Columbia State learns from an
unquestionable source that the rumors
connecting the Seaboard Air Line and
the Southern with the purchase of the
Carolina and Northwestern are Unbound
ed i'll fact and that the new owners
of the road are not connected with eth
er Of these systems. They are men
of ample means vino have definite
plan of development to carry out.
They propose to change the road to
standard gauge and are already max
ing preparations to that end. They
will extend it from Lenoir, n. c.. its
present terminus, to Elizabethton, Tenn,
a point about Is miles south of Bristol,
with which point it is already connected
by rail. This extension will pass
through extensive coal and iron proper
ties. 1t is also intended to extend the
line south from Chester a distance of
about so miles to Camden, where con
nection will be made with the three
leading railroad systems OF this sec
ton. A road from Chester to Camden
will pass by the great water power on
the Catawba river.
The main purpose of the capitalists
behind the project is to supply this
SecLlOn with coal from the extensive
Tennessee fields. This they will be able
to do at rates probably below all ri
yalry from other sources, and as cheap
coal will be a blessing to South Caro-
lima it follows that this development
will be of great value and Importance
to the State. A corps OF surveyors is
about to be put in the field to run the
line between Chester and Camden. At
Camden the competition between the
Seaboard, Southern and Atlantic Coast
Line systems is counted on to furnish
ample distributive facilities.
