Thanks to the kind accommodation
IF Mr.. L. T. Nichols, general manager
IF the Carolina and North Western
railroad, we are enabled to announce
that the subscribers to The Enquirer
on the routes leading out Of Filbert,
Glover and Bowling Green may have
reasonable assurance that they will
continue to receive their papers on
Wednesdays and Saturdays as hereto
fore. Mr.. Nichols has consented to
hold the northbound freight train at
Yorlrville until $50 o'clock when ne
cessary, and the postoffice department
has established lock pouch service for
the Offices named. Except for this ar
rangement, 1t would have been neces-
sary to change the leaving time Of the
49,. o,,l
ing Green until after the arrival Of the
north bound passenger train or sub
scribers in the territory affected would
not have been gotten their papers un-
til after a delay Of two days.
"The New Railroad"
The atmosphere says the Rutherford
Sun, is still charged with rumors as to
the course which the South and
Western railroad will take through
Rutherford county. but no one seems
to know anything definite as to its
intentions. 1t has seemed for several
weeks that the route following Second
Broad river from Thermal City to a
point near Bostic was definitely deter
mined upon, but recent movements
seem to indicate that, so far, at least,
no important steps have been taken
favoitng that line more than any other.
Two corps Of engineers have been
working ON the river route" as 1t has
come to be known, for some time, and
current report had 1t that they were
revising, preliminary to the contrac-
tors taking possession. A large steam
shovel was brought to Bostic, on the s.
A. L., and one each was placed at
Union mills and Rutherfordton. An
interview last week, however. with
Mr.. Alfred Walker, chairman Of the
board of directors Of the s. &. w. and
president Of the s. A. L., brought out
the fact that the route south Of Marion
had not been determined upon. And
the corps of engineers which has been
working at Bostic for some time passed
through Rutherfordton at about the
same time on their way to Glenwood. It
was said that 1t had been decided to
cut down the grade from flve-tenths Of
one per cent to three tenths Of one per
cent on this part Of the road, making 1t
necessary for them to do all Of their
work over. This would mean a road
Of only about fifteen feet to the mile,
one Of the lowest grades ever used in
the country, and one very hard to OBJ
tain in such rolling section as this Is.
It is not known just how far this most
recent change will take the road from
the former surveys, and 1t will be sew
eral more weeks before any informa-
ton can be had on this point. 1t will
be recalled that law passed some
time since by the South Carolina leg
is.ature in effect prohibits the sale of
a railroad to another railroad which
operates it in restraint Of competition.
A suit which was instituted under the
law to restrain the Southern railroad
from operating the Three C's road has
been appealed to the U. S. supreme
court, and will be tried, we understand,
in January. 1907. II the decision is ad-
verse to the Southern. the S. & w.

Cs, and by rebuilding 1t to Ruther-
fordton, save considerable over the cost
Of building a new road entire. An
other fact in the situation is the status
of the Carolina Central division of the
S. A. L.. 1t is said that the lease un-
der which this road is now being oper-
ated will expire January 1st, and 1t
cannot be renewed, another change In
plans will probably be necessary for
the S. & w. 1t Is the concensus Of
opinion among the better informed men
of Rutherfordton that II the s. & w.
wishes TO go to Spartanburg, they will
come by way Of Rutherfordton. II they
merely wish to connect with the Caro-
lima Central division of the s. A. l.,
they will go down the river to Bostic.
And from the fact that 1t has always
been a part of the published reports Of
the intentions Of its promoters that
Spartanburg is an objective point, and
that they had done a great deal Of sur
veying between Rutherfordton and that
pIace wa believe they will go to Spar
