', ' Much has been said lately of the , new South Western Ballway, wtrlch k ii ta k run from thai coal and Iran ' IMda of east Tennessee, Kentucky and' "--We Vlrrlnla. to the Atlantic n board. Railroad men have thought that the 8eboard Air Line wm back tag the ww road, financially. Recent 'developments KO to show that the cur- rent report are true. There is but . little doubt that tbe men who are f ur nlnhinr the monev for thie construction ; of the new road are holders of big " slices of Aboard Air Line stock,. It V Is believed that the two roads are, to 1 all Intents and purposes, one. 1 The South & Western road extends i from Elkhorn, Ky.. via Krwin. Tenn.. "V, to Spruce Pine, this State. The line from Spruce Pne to Marion Is now w being- built, several thousand laborers ' being employed In the -work. When th road Is finished to Marion, It will "" then be run to Rutherford ton. a dls anre of about 21 miles. At Butherfordton, the new line, will In tersect the Seaboard road, which con J met with Charlotte. Monroe, Wlt 1 " jnington and th coast at Southport. l' Prom Rutberfordton. the new road will be extended t Spartanburg, 8. C, where St will cwnnect with the Charleston A Western Carolina road, ' running to Aurusta. Oa. and on to the '"-Atlantic) seaboard at Port Royal, 8. C Should one tafc the trouble to ex ' amino the map of this section. It twill be seen that the new road will i'jrt a, direct route front the coal and ' ' Iron fields of eastern Tennessee, Ken- 1 tucky and west vim ma. K(f coast. , , w , This means much for Charlotte. It I givx the city direct connection with the coal fleMa and thus the ' " heavy freight chanred which have been such a burden in the past will ' be -materially lowered. The fact that i Ma two roads will be nnrr the same management will assure better service a well as cheaper rates. il At present the coal fields are ap prosJmaDely 375 miles Crom Charlotte. Should a manufacturer order a car of " . coal direct from Poeahcmtas. which Is ' practlally the center of the coal dls ' nrlct. It would come via Lynch burg; Va., traveling the distance , named above. Bv the new route, via 'lUltttwrfordton, Marlon. Johnson City " 1 and the coal fields of Kast Tennessee or Kentucky, the distance la only ap proximately 275 miles, which is 100 , . miles shorter than the present routA TWs will moan a savin of at leant ' W cents on the ton. with the possl " WIHy of a further reduction If the two lines compete. J In this connection. It innv he stated : -a that one of the prominent traffic agents of the Houth & Western road was in Charlotte a short time ago for the specific purpose of finding out the amount of coal used hv the local manufacturing mternrtsos. He was on 'J a tour of the Heaboard road and se cured estimates at each coal consuming- point. He is reported s having stated to a prominent cltlxen of Char lotte that the freight rates on coal and Iron from Tennessee and the ter ' rltory traversed bv the South & West j ern road would be 25 per cent less than Ihey are at present. ,v The new road will connect with the r ' Chesapeake Ohio ai Elkhorn. Ky.. " which given it a direct line Into Clnclii natl and points In the Middle West. In this way. the great grain and provision centers of the country will be brought j Into closer relationship wKh Charlotte.

Ho keeps cutting- down on the mouth-end of It but never puts any fire to the other end. Then, too. Col. Winchester wears a muzjsle on his cigar, keeping the free end wrapped about with small rubber bands. "Why do you harness your oigar. Col. Winchester?" aoked an Observer man of the officer. "X do that to tteep Tiim from falling apart. I can use him a long time Just for a dry smoke If ho does not break in pieces." Thus spoke he as he took out his smoker and looked at It affectionately.

Where I saw Dr. Paul Harrlnger and his family," said Dr. George W . Graham, yesterday. "f do not recall the day when I saw such a flue family of children as that of Dr. und Mrs. Barringer. They have ten healthy, hearty, good looking boys and girls, all of whom are exception ally bright. It reminded me of ante bellum famine, when parents boasted of a goodly number of fine sons and daughters. When I went to the Bar ringer table I 'had to stop and view the sight, for I had never seen a more pleasant one. There stood Dr. and Mrs. Barringer and eight of their chil dren, two of the older ones being ab sent, all In perfect health and sound In mind and body." Dr. Graham was very enthusiastic In lils compliments to Dr. Barringer and Ills family. .Mr. Harry P. Shaw Accepts New Po sition. Mr. Harry P.

The North Carolina Bankers' Asso ciation tia- been, for some time en deavoring- to. have the railroads issue a negotiable bill of ladimr. The bill of lading as ordinarily Issued is not con sldered to be sufficient protection in commercial and financial circles. A circular letter has just been Issued by Mr. William A. Hunt, secretary of the association, on this subiect. which reads as follows: ' ('The ,WU ofMading commute of the American Bankers' Association, who are trying to secure the adoption of a negotiable btM of lading, has come to the conclusion that, owing to the many legal difficulties caused bv the varying laws of the different States covering this subject, the pnlv course left to pursue to thoroughly safesruard the Interests of the members of- the as sociation is to recommend the enact ment by Congress of a law ntgulatlng fhd tiaa nf nY-A Kill Af litjllntf In lnter-Ktate commerce that will thor oughly cover the subiect and which will secure uniformity In all the States. An enactment of this measure will re lieve the banks of the lanre and heavy losses they have 'Incurred in the past upon bills of lading not properly safe guarded. In the House of Representatives a bill embracing the Ideas of the bank ers as to a negotiable bill of lading has been introduced bv Hon. Charles E. Tow-nsend, and a similar bill In the vSenate by Senator Burrows. These hills have the unqualified approval of the American Bankers' Association and you are urged to write your Rep resentatives and Senators In Congress, asking their assistance in the matter. "This Is important and vour prompt attention Is earnestly reauested." Will Intersect Three Large Roads. The railway which Is being con structed by the Southern Power Com pany from the point where the new , power plant is being developed at the Great Falls of the ttawba, is now! completed to a point on the Lancaster ft Chester Railway. The company Intended to extend it at once north ward to a point on the Seaboard Air Line. An extenlon north of the Sea board Air Line to Rock Hill is being considered, and rights of way are be- ng procured for this extension. At Rock Hill the road will coruiect with he Southern. The distance from the Great Falls of the Catawba to Rock Hill Is probably 30 miles. In this distance the road connects with the Ijincaster & Chester, the Seaboard and the Southern Railways. It is possible that the road may be ex- ended still farther northward from Hock Hill, and the most probable route will be up the Catawba valley. Old Scotch.
