In regard to tho reported eapture of the Beaboard Air Line by the Richmond & Danville, the Wall Bt , Daily News, says: There is not the slightest doubt that the Richmond aud West Point Terminal would be only too clad to secure control of what is known as the Robinson sys tem, controlling a line from Balti more by steamship to Norfolk, and from there to Elbertou On., and capitalized for considerably less than its real value. It may also be said that there is no possibility of such a change as long as John M. Robinson is alive. He is the active manager and the property Is very closely held. Here is a company which holds the controlling interest in four or live other lines making up the Seaboard Air Line, which is composed of six diHerentrailroadsaud the Baltimore Steam Packet Company, operated under one management, and yet it has a capital stock of only a little more than a million and a quarter, and the funded debt is not greater than that. Further.it has incurred no onerous obligations on behalf of connecting lines. It will readily be understood there is no reason why this dividend-payingproperty should bo sold.or why it could be purchased upon any terms that would not be favorable to the Richmond Terminal people. There is not iu the country any important a'ul strong railroad system which is held by the control of so small an amount of stock. - The (irtn ih ! I he iilb. The eyes of the industrial world ! are on the South and with good cause for never in ai y section or ini8 , country has theTindustrial develdp i ment been so rapid, The8outh now i not only bids to become the center of 1 the iron producting section of the j United States, but will soon occupy ! a front rank as a producerof finished ! products of a most varied character. Another very gratifying feature in 1 the industrial outlook is the fact that the new factories, etc., are beiug equipped with the latest and most improved machinery w hich will re move another serious barrier to the ultimate'succoas of manufacturing in the South. It is generally admitted now in the Hhenango and Mahoniug va lleys of Ohio, that Southern iron is i closing down blast furnaces in that r gion.and reports for the week end i i: March 11th, of new industries of South. indicate that In diversified in dustries as well, the South is becom ing n formidable competitor. .. 1 r. TIrIo r II a Candidate. It is pretty well understood that Mr. F. 15. McDow.dl will be a can didate for re-election as Mayor of Charlotte. In response to an inqui ry yesterday he stated that he had been urg il to become a candidate for u -election by a great ma:iy citi zens and that he is iu the hands of his friends. It may be said that there is no doubt about the fact that he is, or w ill le, a candidate. harlollf 's Mrrrl Sprinkler Out.
