ALDERMAN ROAD NOT SOLD.
MIR. ALDERMAN SAYS I'M, nc
READY FOR BUSINESS.
Road Inspected by :. c. w. Officials
May BE Link in Florence Augusta
and Northern Short line.
Florence Times.

florence Times.
There has been a report in circuIa-
ton for some time, and it was beIiey-
ed by the agents Of the road thar the
Alderman road had been sold n the
South Carolina Western or the Sea-
board road. The officials Of the Soutb
Oaroiina western took a trip over the
road few days ago which NAV have
given rise to the story, but in reply
10 direct question on the subject
from a Times reporter, Mr.. Alder
man said that no deal had vet been
closed he said he mad not given UP
nope OF some day extending his road
into Florence to get a connection with
the Seaboard and that there had been
some talk between himself and the
south Carolina Western people. but
that there had never been ANYTHING
definite in the matter. He wants an
outlet for his lumber and he wants
TWO roads TO be able TO deal with. SO
that he can get from either one bet
ter terms and more accommodations.
The plan Of the South Carolina
western, If it is understood, for no
one knows except Mr. Bonsal, and
everyone who knows him says that
he does no thinking aloud, is to use
the completed Alderman Road as a
link in line TO cut the country from
Florence to Augusta into two pas
lures for the grazing Of the Seaboard
goat
There is no certainty Of anything
on this line being done, however,
and big scope of country and the
city Of Florence are likely to be
without the facilities Of the desired
road for some time, unless they get
to work and build it themselves
Mr. Alderman says that he has
built the road so far with his own
resources and that he does not owe
anything on it, and that he has been
obliged to use all that he could get
on his lumber mill lately. and that
while he is anxious to get the road
into Florence he cannot do it without
help from Florence or somewhere
He is ready TO listen to any prop
osition that sounds like business
that may come from this end Of the
line

TO REPORT ON DISASTER.
SENATE TITANIC COMMITTED,
WILL PRESENT FINDINGS
TUESDAY,
probable That Conditions Preceding
Wreck Will be Condemned and
Remedies Will be Urged.

Washington, May 23.-The report
OF the senate committee on commerce
on the investigation of the Titanic dis
aster embodying a severe condemna-
tion OF the conditions under which the
giant vessel was allowed to steam into
her fate among the icebergs off the
Newfoundland banks and recon-
mending remedial legislation, will be
presented to the senate next Tuesday.
All day the committee discussed the
conclusions submitted by the sub
committee, which took the testimony
in the case and unanimously adopted
its report The report. in all proba-
bility, will criticise the Titanic COM
mander and crew for the way in
which the vessel was handled Just pre-
ceding the collision with the iceberg
and the lack Of discipline displayed
afterwards; the way in which White
Star line officials handled the news
and the lack of lifeboats and other
equipment.
The Carpathia's commander, Capt.
Rostron, who went to the rescue Of
the Titanic. will be warmly praised,
1t is believed. The report will be fol-
lowed by the introduction of a meas
rue by Senator w. Alden Smith, chair
man OF the subcommittee, to carry
out the conclusions of the committee.
Among the reforms contemplated
are inhibition against the firing Of
rocket signals at sea except in case Of
distress, the equipment Of all ocean
craft Of a certain amount Of passen-
ger carrying capacity with ample life
boats and other equipment, the fur
nishing of searchlights to ocean ves-
sells. the compulsory use Of binocu-
lars 10y lookouts. the constant main
tenance Of wireless telegraph COM
munication on all passenger vessels
crossing the ocean and other steps
that may be effective in the way Of re-
forms either through legislation by
congress or by international agree
ment regarding ocean travel.
1t is possible that a resolution Of
thanks will be introduced in recogni-
tion Of the splendid work Of Capt.
Rostron in rescuing so many Ameri-
cans.
