applause which greeted them there

At the entrance they found Miss

small hotel in busy thoroughfare.

hadn't seen each other. We could have

about two months ago, being elected
vice president Of the corporation. La
ter it was announced that he woald
be elected president Of the Birming-
ham and Brunswick railroad, which it
was proposed to construct, in connec-
ton with the steel enterprise, and
that he would manage the two proper
ties. At a meeting Of the directors,
held in New York recently, at which
it was expected Senator McLaurin
would be elected president Of the road,
he resigned all connection with. the
undertaking and disposed Of his hold
ings in the enterprises, withdrawing
completely from the scheme.
Frank A. Umsted is president Of the
Mohawk Steel and Wire company.
Last fall, he came to Charleston and
proposed to locate the plant Of the
company here IL the people of this
city would either subscribe to mil
lion dollars of the company's bonds, or
else furnish free site for the plant,
exempt the company from taxation Tor
period Of ten years and subscribe
5000, 900 in cash to the undertaking.
The alternative proposition was very
promptly accepted by the business
men Of Charleston, and Mr.. Umsted
was asked to give references Of his
company's financial standing before
the contract could be closed. No word
was ever received from him, but later,
it was announced that the company
would locate at Birmingham. There
have been good many conferences,
and many announcements Of plans
since, but the plant has not been built
yet.
