Experts employed bv th two companies have investigated and. reported that this section has greater possibilities for such a sys tem than any undeve oped section of the country. It is the plan of the Dokes and Mr. W. 6. Lee, Jr., and others interested to .interlace the two states with two systems that will be operated as one and probably com bined, the systems being connected with a line from Spartanburg through Gasonia to . Charlotte, the North, Carolina "system connecting the towns along the main line of the Southern railway to Greensborowith branches to Durham and to Winston-Salem, and probably other cities and towns. The benefit of such a system to Con eord cannot be overestimated and the people of this city, especially the man ufacturing and commercial interests, are vitally interests I and concerned. Discussing the proposed I system witn a reporter this momincr a own. tleman who is in Charlotte enough to keep in touch with conditions there said that there is one thing that threatens the perfection of tbe bisr Bteui, assuming tnat tne necessary amount of capital has been or will be subscribed. "There is one ana? the way," he said. ."Charlotte is ex ceedingly unfortunate in haviner iust at i this time a board , of aldermen, more politicians than statesmen, who have shown by their actions in the past that thev are not nearly so mind. ii4ji tne progress of their city as the people generally and members of the liv Greater Charlotte Club especially would have them be. It seems that twi or three members are either tua to the .southern Power Company interests or tney want to gouge them.

G, aecompanied by IL K. Taylor and G. W. Schnltzer. two detectives, who it is said, were apirit- cu out oi mis eity uree weeks ago on the eve of the trial of a dozen Salis burians against whom warrants bad been issued upon tbe evidence of the detectives wherein retailing was charged. It was currently reported ' that the detectives bad been severely beaten and warned to leave tbe eity under the penalty of death. They could not be found, and the cases were continued in court. The Salisburians who went to Co lumbia after Taylor and Schnltzer guaranteed protection on Choir re turn to this eity for tbe purpose of giving evidence in the -whiskey cases. The detectives are being cared for at a hotel, which is well guarded. Able counsel have been retained for tbe State, and the return of the detectives has caused a small sensation here, owing to the prominence of the men charged with retailing and the seri ousness of the oharsres mad by tim detectives. The trial next week will be of at interest. Shot in the Train. Mr. Aubrey Henry, who cam Sn from Albemarle Saturday nieht. tell us that some miscreant shot into the train (No. 35) when it was near Chi na Grove. The shot entered the win dow just in rear of the one in which he was sitting, and. the occupant of the seat received some of the flying glass in his eye. No one was bit with the bullet.
