Evidences that the Illinois Central
Railroad company contemplates the
construction OF line from Jackson
Tenn. to the coal fields in the Birm
ingham district are reappearing after
an absence of a year or more. The
object of the proposed line, II II is
built, IL to give the Illinois Central
physical connection with the Frisco
in order 10 give the former an en-
trance into Birmingham and the iron
district that has made that city
great traffic originating center. BY
an agreement entered into last year
between the Illinois Central and the
Frisco the latte~ il 10 operate over
the Yszoo and Mississippi Valley
tracks between Baton Rouge and
New Orleans on a mileage basis and
in consideration OF this privilege the
Illinois Central is 10 be allowed to
operate all equal mileage OF the
Frisco track into Birmingham. Ala
The agreement. OF course stipulates
other things. but the track features
are the primary consideration of mu.
tual advantage In order for the Mi.
moss Central To receive an advantage
corresponding with that granted the
Frisco it is necessary for the former
% construct about $50 miles Of sew
railroad. The starting point of this
new line. as originally contemplated.
in all probability will be Jackson.

will probably be in the Shefneld dis

Frisco II would be necessary To con.
struct line from Jackson or some
other pbnt to the Frisco in Alabama

mitied that the starting point Of the
proposed line wonld he Jackson. but

construction would begin. Mr. Hara.

The freight business Is exceeding
ly dull lust now. said a recent EN-
plove OF the Illinois Central at
Mounds. only very few trains are
running, compared with the number
that were RAINING this time last year.
The force has been cut down TO a
large extent | don't suppose that
more than half of the men that for
merly worked at Mounds are there
now. The men that worked nights
we're laid on and about all OF the men
who worked days were put on at
nights
The reason for the slump in rail-
way freight traffic is credited to the
strikes In different parts OF the
country, dull trade conditions in lum-
Der. etc. Just at this time of the
year the business is usually dull. Lum-
Der IL moving slowly. wheat and
grains will not commence to move
