G. & p. ROAD SOLD TO THE SEA
BOA y.

Georgetown. April 26.-The George
town and Western railway has been
sold to the Scaboard Air Line. Presi-
dent Clifford, of the Atlantic Coast
Lumber Cooperation, went to New
York last Saturday to meet the Sea
board people. and wires from that city
to officials here confirm recent rumors
of the sale. The sales includes all
properties Of the Georgetown and
WcStern-thc line. to Lanes and from
Andrews to PoSton. The Seaboard
will take up the operation Of the new
property at once.
When seen. Superintendent Emart
Of the Georgetown and Western, con-
lirn2d the sale. Mr. Emart asserts
that the property will be greatly I'M
proved for heavy service. The line
from Andrews to PolstN will be a
link in the through line from Hamlet
to Charleston. and will he put in the
best Of condition for fast and heavy
trains. The heaviest rail will be laid
and the grades reduced to a minium
The same improvement will be made
on the line frcm Georgetown to An
drews.
The Seaboard will put Georgetown
iG miles nearer Charleston, and such
schedules will be made as will make
the trip between the two cities very
much more convenient and quicker.
Mr. Emart says that the introduction
Of passenger business OH the Seaboard
TO Charleston will probably follow i'm
mediately the completion Of the con-
nection with the union station in that
city. Very probably, in the opinion
of Mr.. Emart, Georgetown will have
a special train to- Charleston in addi-
Ltien 10 the through trains from Ham.
let. \ gas-electric car service between
the cities is in contemplation.
No information us to any changes
in the officials of the line is available,
Il. j. Clifford has been President; W..
II. Andrews. general manager, and j..
\. Emart superintendent.
Very probably ntw terminal facili-
ties will come with the change. The
Scahoard now has this port to itself.

had free hand for all these years,
