There is a welt authenticated-rumor
afloat to the effect that the

80 from Jacksonville f or Washlhgf
ton. xram -no., so wm not leave
here, for Atlanta nntll after No. 29
arrives. The cutting off ef these two
trains between Charlotte and Wash
ington is in keeping with the South
ern's policy of retrenchment as . ex
emplified in the elimination of trains
wo. , 11- and V 12 between , ,cnari9tte
and , 'Danville last Sunday.
" A Charlotte traveling man, who
wasr discussing this'' rumored change
with an . Observer, reporter last night,
stated thet If the Southern continued
its retrenching policy, much further
that North Carolina 1 and Virginia
would not have , a better service than
the charter of the Southern calls, for,
namely, "one train each way every
day." - -
