500 MILES OF DOUBLE TRACK.
Ihat is Said to be Plan of Atlantic
Coast Line.

| Charleston, July 24.-The Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad as we'll as vari-
lous cities and ports in this section
OF the country, has its eye fixed scri-
ously on the Panama Canal. While no
Official statements have been made. it
| Is understood from reliable sources
| that the Coast Line expects to have
its entire line between Richmond and
Jacksonville dOubled-tracked by the
day OF the opening of the canal in
1919. In order to achieve this result.
1t is said that extra forces have been
ordered to work at number of points
on this line.
The distance between Richmond
ana Jacksonville is about $40 miles
The Atlantic Coast Line has been at
work doubletracking this line. i'm
|several places, for months past, and
it is understood that about a third
of the line has been equipped with
the second track. The section be-
tween Charleston and Florence. as is
we'll known, is among the portions
on which the double-tracking work
has been going on for a few months
past.
While the policy of a railroad can
not be foretold three years in ad-
vance by outsiders, it is considered a
safe speculation that the Coast Line
Is contemplating a great increase in
its freight business into, out of and
through Charleston when the big
ditch is thrown open to commerce.
The double-tracking will, of course,
put the road in better position to give
Charleston powerful aid in the mat
ter of Pan-American commerce. The
Coast Lines freight business over
this line is already quite heavy, it is
understood, and it is not believed
that the double-track, even if COM
pleted now throughout, would be
anything in the nature of a white
elephant.

A GREAT SERVICE
LAST NIGHT
The Long and Faithful Work Of Evan.
geIist Ham Beginning to
Bear Fruit.

The service at the tabernacle last
night was one of the greatest of the
meeting. The power of the Spirit was
felt and souls were saved. The con-
gregation was not as large as on for
mer occasions, owing no doubt to un-
favorable weather conditions, but a
deeper interest and earnestness was
plainly evident.
The subject of the discourse was
Two Kinds of Peace, That from God
and That from the Devil" The scrip
ture upon which the evangelist based
his remarks was: "A strong man, we'll
armed, guarding his court, his goods
are in peace"
The speaker first showed the kind of
peace the devil gives to men and de-
clared that this was an age Of dope.
That the devil doped his victims into
imagined security and peace. Men i'm
agine they are safe when they are not.
Whenever they become disturbed they
begin to indulge in some form of dope
in search for peace. They take the
train and run to and fro through the
earth in search for peace. They seek
amusement; they go to the theatres,
to the dance halls, and IL they can't
find peace in any other way they take
to drink in order to quiet a restless
They manage to steep their
souls in the devils dope until they
imagine themselves safe.
The evangelist then pictured their
awakening and compared their false
peace with the blessed peace that
comes from God, that which passeth
Ill understanding.
He made strong appeal to the sim
ners to accept the blessed peace of the
Lord. and many accepted and made a
public confession
