In pursuance of President Ftnley recent announce ment that it will be the policy of the Southern' Railway Company to con tinue doublt-tracking its main line at points where the traffic is heaviest and traffic -en the Charlotte division having reached such density, as to justify the provision of some addition al double-track on that division, the board of directors baa authorized the construction of 32 mOes of second track between Atlanta and Gainesville, ua. The effect of this imDrovemenk will be practically the equivalent of" 46 miles of double track from Atlanta north, and will greatly facilitate the movement of trains over that im portant part of the system. Work on the double-track is to be begun without delay. " ll ill: lOGl rRIGHTEXED MULE RTJWS AWAT ? : AXD THROWS B3M FROM i :. ; : his buogt.
