Atlantic Coast Line Traf-

In Years

CLINTON, March 12. - Freight
business in and out of Clinton over
the Atlantic Coast Line is t h e
heaviest in years at this part OF
the year, according to statement
made by a member of the staff
of C. B. Barrus, local Coast Line
agent. Local freight BUSINESS at
this time of year is generally very
light, while the September-October
period of the year is usually the
heaviest freight period in and out
of Clinton.
Due, however, to apparent heavy
buying by merchants and heavy
carload shipments of hogs to north
ern points, freight business over
the local branch line is just as
heavy now as it is during the
months of September and October,
officials pointed out yesterday.
