TBEE SAWS?W00I). ; Lays' Lowland Says nothing f the Sea VS., rhfrnti'm Pnrchase.. - -jThe Atlanta Constitution of yes terday says.' - ' General Superintendent V. E. Mc Bee, of the Seaboard Air Line, was here yesterday. If he had any in side information about the deal that is supposed to have taken place of to be in progress he kept it to him self.. He gave that old stereotyped reply: "All I know Is- what I see in the papers." As heretofore slated in the Con stitution, the New York parties, headed by Mr. Ryan, Mr. Harvey and Mr-Henry Crawford, took an option oh 6,000 shares of the Sea board and Roanoke stock, and paid fconiderable jsuni On .'..the,, option. Tbey offered a big price for the stock if tbey ware to have the privi lege of looking over the Seaboard system and books, as their bid was based on certain statements made by President Hoffman as to what the Seaboard had been doing in-the last yeuiv The financiers who were do ing the negotiating do not buy a cat in a bag without looking at the cat. It will be remembered that the Sea board bought the Georg!.!, Southern and Florida once, providing the earnings were a certair. figure. Af ter the books were examined the deal was declared off, the Seaboard declining to buy. In the present instance it is thought that the Ryan syndicate will close the trade after the investigation is completed. There is still no end of guesssing as to whom the syndicate is buying for. That the sale was being planned was known to several persons for some time prior to the offer which General Gill made publicly. The Louisville and Nashville people, that is President Smith and Mr. Bel mont, were on to it long prior to the public announcement. Some think that the Seakboard will evpntally be operated with a very close under standing between it and the Louis ville and Nashville. Tbe belief is gradually dissipating that the Sea board will be operated under the SoUthern, even though both systems were controlled by practically the same parties. The South Caro'.ina authorities, as published in Tbe Constitution last week, arealready moving to find out the relations between the South ern and the Seaboard. It will be shown that they are entirely dis tinct. For some time past the Port Royal and Augusta and the Port Royal and Western Carolina have been giving their business to the Seaboard in preference to the South ern, when the letter road could have been favored just as well. This would indicate that Messrs. Thomas and Ryan preferred the Seaboard to the Southern. On its face, it certainly indicates that the relations between Ryan aud Thomas and the Southern are not those of intimate partners, but on the other hand it is known (hat the financiers named have the closest business relations with the finan cial agents of the Southern. The South Carolinians have been watch ing for evidence to show that the Port Roy ul and Augusta and the Port Royal and Western Carolina are controlled by the Southern rail way. Close traffic relations between the roads might be taken as evi dence. But the Port Royal roads do not compete with the Seaboard, and there is no constitutional objec tion to their consolidation. Really the addition of those shorter lines would be an advantage to the Sea board, .for they would give it an out let to Port Royal and Charleston, and would let tbe system into some fine territory which it can' ouly reach now over connections.
