BELIEVE ~REEME MADE
It is Thought That Traffic Agreement
Has Been Reached by Southern and
Atlantic Coast Lime as to a Trunk
Line From the West.

An article was published several
that the Coast Line contemplated get
ting an entrance into Savannah from
the west and that it would be neces-
sary for them to make an agreement
with the Central Railway Or Southern
to use their tracks. The Savannah
News of the End contains the fol-
lowing in regard TO the trunk line from
the west:
1.-The Atlantic Coast Line can come
into Savannah with its through con-
nections from the West with great
benefit to the city and without injury
TO the Central Railroad" said a gen.
tIeman at the De Soto last night.
1.-The person speaking is we'll posted
upon railroad matters. He can draw
a map of the railroads in Georgia
without reference TO any guidance than
that acquired from a long and intimate
knowledge of the roads and their Ope-
ratiOns.
II do not think the Coast Line has
made any proposition to the Central of
Georgia Railway, as stated in the news
HUH d.lduG1 oil oOyo
ago. I surmise this to be the sftua-
ton: The Atlantic Coast Line has
made Il proposition to the Southern
Railway for trackage rights over he
line of the Southern between Atlanta
and Macon. The Central Railway was
called in to give consent to the agree
ment. ALI the railroads are so bound
UP with contracts and traffic agree
ments that the Central, for instance,
could not build a mile of track with
out notice and consent Of the roads
with which it maintains such agree
ments.
II assume that the Atlantic Coast
Line has arrived at that point where
it is ready to obtain and operate traffic
rights which would give direct passage
for traffic between the west and the
South Atlantic seaboard.
1.-THE Central Railway, working as 1t
does, in connection with the Ocean
Steamship Company, would still COM
mand a large portion Of through traf-
fc. Even If the Central did no
through business, It would be amply
supported by business local to it's line.
That is why | say hat the rumored
entrance of the Atlantic Coast Line to
Savannah through Atlanta, Macon and
Vidalia, would not harm the Central
and would largely increase h volume
of Savannah's business. I believe, too,
that the arrangement with the South
ern Railway will become effective be-
fore IL great while"
rIn demonstration of the friendly
feeling between the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Southern Railway, the
gentleman referred to rights which the
Southern holds over the tracks Of the
Atlantic Coast Line from Vaudeville
to Jacksonville, and Jesup to Jackson
vile and Savannah. The Southern has
no entrance to either Jacksonville Or
Savannah, except over the tracks of
the Coast Line"

lures of the Carolina Savings and
Trust Company has just been COM
pleted, the work having been done by

home. The fixtures are OF oak with
brass grill work. Around the walls is
wainScOating our and a half feet high

tiled and everything about the bank
presents a substantial and up-tO-date
appearance.
The home of the Carolina Savings
and Trust Company is in the Atlantic
National bank building and q large
door has been cut ON Front street.
When this bank was organized it was
decided not to wait until bank furni-
ture could be installed to begin bust
ness but to start at once with crude
fixtures and make improvements later.
A plain pine desk was installed and
the new bank began business. This
was four months ago and an enormous
business has been done from the start.
The institution is now ready for all
the business that may come its way.
The Carolina Savings and Trust
Company vas organized with a capital
of $4,000 and there are $50 stockhold-
ers, most of them being residents of
this city. Mr.. John L.. Armstrong.
president of the Atlantic National
bank and one of the best financiers in
the south, is also president of the saw
ings bank. Mr.. J. Holmes Davis, a
young man who had several years ex-
perience in the Atlantic bank is the
polite and efficient cashier. Since the
bank was organized the deposits have
exceeded the most sanguine eXpecta-
tons of the organizers
