The engineers are further reported as ' saying that the road would like ly go to Spartanburg, but the line by Mt.v'Holly , would end at a point in South .Carolina on the main line of the ' Seaboard. - This report is in line with the statement published in The News re cently to the effect that the South and Western would be built via Mt. Holly instead of Spartanburg and would tap the main line of the Sea board at a point in South Carolina that would afford the desired outlet to the sea. It seems evident from the two re ports that there is a big change con templated by the owners of the road from their original plans, but the exact nature of the changes will prob ably not be announced by the man agement of the road for some time to come. However, if the road, or a branch of it, is built to Mt. Holly, this will be of considerable importance to Charlotte and the commerce of the city. ' It is further reported that the new road will cross the Catawba near the Tuckaseege Ford. SEEK CANADIAN TRADES UNION. Dominion Tradesmen Want to Build Up Independent Organization In , America. " .
