THE NEW RAILROAD
MAY TOUCH UNION.
SURVEY THROUGH UNION THE BEST
MADE.
Surveyors Think This the Best Route
Road to be From Coal Fields
OF Virginia, Kentucky and
West Virginia

Mr.. Walker, assistant and son
OF Chief Surveyor A. c.. Walker,
was in Union Monday morning
and 4aIked freel y to the reporter
about the new road from Elk
horn, KY, to the coast. The
surveyors have about completed
their work from Spartanburg to
Carlisle and report the best sur
vey yet made. AS has been pub
llshed, the route from Elkhorn
to Spartanburg has beeh laid out
and adopted, SO the remainder of
the line from Spartanburg to the
coast is all that remains to be
definitely decided upon. Other
surveys from Spartanburg south
ward have been made, but the
cost OF these routes will be, some
over twice, and all much greater
than the route through Union.
Five streams have to be crossed
this way and only one 4-inch
curve made; this is very re-
nneafhahle when we think of the
ties and I al ho281 281llHMch M!hhhc c6rve & " right
here at Main street in Union.
There is still much doubt about
the course of the road, and Union
is not sure of it yet. Here are
the alternatives: IF they take in
Augusta, the road is more likely
to run from Spartanbdrg via
Laurens to Augusta; if Columbia
bia is to be taken in, then
through Union the road will run
so say the surveyors.
The parties leave this vicinity
sometime during the week for
Greenwood and Spartanburg,
from which. places they will work
toward Laurens.
Much interest is manifested by
the several towns and cities in
this part Of State over the route
of the road, since it will mean
much to any place. It is to con-
meet the vast coal fields, 100000
acres, of Virginia. Kentucky and
West Virginia with the coast
probably Charleston, S. G. The
road has been guaranteed the
hauling of the entire product OF
these mines; this. with the pas.
senger traffic, will make a large
enterprise.
1t is a rather strange fact, but
no one knows the projectors OF
this South and Western road; OF
at least the engineers are not a
liberty to make them known. L
is generally understood, how
ever, that New York corpora
ton is to build it. Mr.. }
Caples, of Bristol, Va. Tenn, il
chief engineer, and Mr.. Haw

THE INTERNATIONAL
COTTON CONFERENCE.
JjRNiN. SMITH IND T0NPHIpS Oe
SCUTH FIGURED PROMINENTLY,


The great Iuter-National Cot
ton Conference adjourned in
WashlnGton-Wcdneaday. Nav the
Zna after some days delibcration
ms was a conference between
the growers and spinners Of both
America and England; the frst
meeting Of this kind and of sIch
magnitude eveI' held. 1t marks
another step in the path TO an
agreement and probably a def.
mite organization to govern the
supply and demand Of this wraat
commodity, cotton; and such an
agreement IS only just, for here
toiore there has never been any
,tiiing definite on either side
The spinner5 never knew h1w .
much cotton they would be able F!

their cotton would bring. Furth- |

the offer Of the consumers after
this offer had been tinkered and
set to suit spectators. Now, the
aim is to balance supply and de-
mand, eliminate speculation and
fix fair price, one profitable to
both grower and consumer. This
conference in Washington has
done much in paving the way for
such a settlement.
While nothing definite was done
at this meeting, because the del
egates were not vested with au-
thority for anything definite, it
is hoped that next year an organ
ization properly constituted and
with power TO act may be effect
ed.
Talking was the chief feature
of the meeting and ii there be no
other result, certainly there IS now
better understanding between
the growers and spinnerS. Be
fore this the growers thought the
spinners were striving to give as
little IS possible for cotton, and
the spinners thought the grow
ers wanted too high price.
Now they understand, and this
understanding is fatal to the spec
ulators. The sentiment Of both
sides was against this third party,
the spectators, and both were
loud in their denunciation Of
them. Direct sale to the con-
sumer is what both desire.
Here is the proposition: the
spinners are willing to buy direct
from the growers and pay the
right price if the growers can fa-
ciitate the transactions. Here

Mrs. B. G. Clifford, who has
just returned from the meetino
OF Women's clubs in Rock Hill
reports not only a pleasant meet
ing but a successful one from the
point of business. So manv of
these meetings and so much Of
most meetings are entirely pleas

ing to hear Of real work; and
Mrs; Clifford, as all Union peo-
pie know, is one Of the hardest
workers not only in our own city.
but IN the State as well.
Mrs: Clifford was enthusiastic

was Florence. This city offered
120 acres of land and $4, 600 cash.
1t is likely that Florence will get
the reformatory.
The ladies have done this
much. but they are now striving
to do more. Mrs. Patterson, of |
Greenville, the lamented presi-
dent of the Federation, desired |
and worked for a special feature
for the reformatory, which the
Legislature could not give. So
she began work among the clubs
to raise $4,000 for this feature.
At the meeting in Rock Hill the
report showed that 81, 600 of this
amount had already been pledged
and partly paid in. Union has
contributed through personal
gifts $40 of this amount. Now
the ladies' are striving to raise
the other 81, 900, and when this
is done a gentleman in the State
will double it, making $4, 900,
which will be used in instituting
the Martha Orr Patterson Me-
mortal in the reformatory:
The officers of the Federation
for the ensuing year are as fol-
