1t. The plans Of the Seaboard AIT
Lire as generally understood, were 10
build a direct line to Charleston troih
Lugoff, near Camden, but the acqui-
sition Of the Southern railway route
would be preferable 1t Is said, to the
construction of the new road. 1t Is ar
gued that the Southern railway has no
direct interest In Charleston, Its ter
minals being at other ports, which Is
the cause Of much OF Charlestons
complaints Of discrimination, and II
Is perhaps true that with the settle
ment of the former antagonism which
formerly prevailed between these two
systems and the Atlantic Coast Line,
and the adjustment of conflicting in
terests, the Southern railway may now
be willing to part with its branch
line to Charleston. Some time ago on
a visit Of the late President Spencer
Of the Southern railway to Charleston
he spoke very assuringly of proper
realization of the geographical and
natural advantages Of the port OF
Charleston, and he might have had In
mind the present project Of the Sea-
board Air Line taking over this branch
line and making 1t part Of its sys-
tenn, and erecting new terminals at
Charleston. None Of the railroad peo-
pie in authority would have anything
to say for publication about the story
and, as stated, 1t is not known how
much truth there is in the rumor.
