Work has begun on the new rail
road between Monroe. N. o., aod
McBee. s. c.. which will give Char
lotte and western North Carolina
a short connection with Columbia,
Savannah and other points in
South Carolina, Georgia and Flor
ida
The railroad which is being built
as connecting link for the Sea
board, Is backed by private cor.
poration, In which a number of
Raleigh gentlemen are the prime
movers and are large stockholders
The railroad Is to be known as the
Charlotte, Monroe & Columbia Rail
way. The com psny which is build
ing 1t owns forty thou and acres Of
valuable timber land at the South
Carolina terminus. 1t was origi
nally the intention of the compa-
ny to build narrow gauge railway
for the development of the tim Der
property through which the rail-
road Is to pass. Now 1t has been
definitely determined that stand
ard gauge road will be constructed,
which will be up to date in every
respect and permit OF the operation
Of the heaviest trains.
The contract for tie construction
of the first half of the road has
been let, and the work of grading
has commenced on the South Caro-.
lima end. The road is to be thirty
three miles In length, according to
present calculations. Work begins
at McBee and will pushed on to
Monroe.
The new road is being construc
ted by company OF gentlemen
who are identified with the Sea
board, and 1t seems evident thai
the Seaboard will evidently oper
ate this short line In order to com
pete with the Southern railway fol
traffic between western and central
Carolina and points In South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Florida. The new
road will give the Seaboard q di
rect line from Charlotte, where con
nection Is made In Western Caro- i

be operated over the Carolina Cen
trail from Rutherfordton ana Char
lotte to Monroe, I'D thence ovel
the new line to McBee, where con
nection Is made With the Seaboard'i
main line to Columbia, Savanna
and Florida. The construction o
the new link between Monroe ant

that the S.aboard will push tn

Two Carloads Kidnapped and are En-
Route to Hawaii
Ell Paso, Tex, Special, to Chicago
Record.
According to their own statement
the two carloads of Porto Ricans
who passed through this city yester-
day were decoyed or kidnapped from
their native land by American labor
agents for the Spreckles sugar planta-
tiOns In Hawaii, but whether or not
their story is true cannot be ascer-
tanned at this remote point. While
detained in this city for an hour the
natives were kept under the strictest
surveillance by their guards. A
patrol was placed on each side of the
cars and the inmates were even pre-
vented from buying fruit from a
Mexican vender who was close at
hand.
They claimed that when they
boarded the ship they believed they
were to be taken to port On the
opposite side of their island, and
while here yesterday they alleged
that they had no idea of where they
were being taken. Most of them
were totally ignorant and had never
seen a large city or railway. AT
Sanderson, Tex, where the cars are
side-tracked to kill time 80 as to
make connection with the ship at
San Francisco, some Mexicans told
the Porto Ricans that they were in
free country and that their guards
had no right to restrain them. This
melted some of the emigrants to at
tempt to escape, but the sheriff, it il
said, frightened them into submits
sion by firing his pistol above Their
heads.
