That Railroad Deal.

When The Advertiser reached Selma Sunday morning. bringing the information that the Southern Railroad was about to gobble up the Louisville and Nashville. the information was not received In very amiable mood by the business men of the city. They all. almost with one accord, feel that the purchase of the l.. and N. will leave Selma at the mercy of one powerful corporation. Competi- ton in the matter of freight rates will be a thing of the past and the wholesale men will be at the mercy of one great corporation, they say and they will be compelled to ship all of their freight over one line. whether they want to or not. A good many of them predict. however, that great deal more freight. such as inn perishable goods, will be sent to Mobile by ocean steamers and thence up the Alabama by river packets. The business men of Selma are disturbed over the deal, and say that the entire South will be the loser when the great Louisville and Nash vile ceases to be an important factor in the upbuilding of the country through which it runs, and there is not cor porars guard in this city but who wish that the deal will fall through.
