NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Shuttle Road That Ex-
planned Confederate Disaster
By ~HoIIsnd.y

In the latter part OF March Of the
year 1883 l spent a week or ten days
In Charleston, South Carolina On the
second day after my arrival there was
seated at my hotel dining room table
a stranger, new arrival, OF about
middle height and OF powerful build.
with an unusual depth of chest The
perfect balance and poise Of his mas
sive head upon his shoulders was
especially noticeable The outline of the
head was round, rather than long. His
(, ce was broad; bis mouth revealed
great firmness, although there was in
his smile suggestion of gentleness
and kindness. His eyes, which were
dark blue, we're set far apart and the
breadth of his forehead indicated great
intellectual power. His hair was not
plentiful, although he was not bald,
and in his early manhood he must
have been of sandy complexion. He
seemed to be man Of sixty-flve years
Of age.
Have you come from the North ?"
he asked; and when ] replied that I
had, he asked me If came by the
Coast line.
| saw that he was familiar with rail-
road matters, and disposed to talk OF
them, so l ventured TO ask him how II
happened that city the size of Char
lesion, and a seaport at that. had no
central railway station. The main sta
ton was then some two miles outside
the city, and passengers were convey
ed back and forth by means of a shut
tie train.
'Well, that shuttle train furnishes
one explanation Of why the Confeder-
scy did not succeed" was the reply.
Then, noting, apparently, that l was
wondering how a shuttle railroad two
miles long could have had anything to
do with the failure of the Confederacy,
he continued, and his manner was that
of modest, kindly gentleman:
do you know Of any important city
of the North, especially any seaport,
that would have been content even in
early railroad days with railroad COM
munication that required the use of a
shuttle train? This little shuttle line
personifies the haphazard manner in
which industry and railway develop
ment in the South in the days before
the war were universally carried on,
a circumstance that is easily explained
by the fact that the South was then al
most exclusively an agricultural re-
gion. So 1t came about. when the war
broke out, that the Confederacy found
itself with nothing more than make
shift means OF communication at its
command. There was not one railroad
In the entire South that was worthy OF
the name when compared with the
railroads of the North, and judged by
the standards of today the Northern
roads of war times were poor, as a
whole. Yet If there had been a railroad
