WILL EXTEND LINE TO CAPITAL CITY DUKE INTERESTS PLAN TO BUILD TROLLEY ROAD TO COLUMBIA. Survey Is Being Nade Now From Lau rens to Clinton-Two Carolinas Will Shortly be Connected. Columbia State. Greenville, Sept. 8.-It is now be lieved to be the plans of the promo ters of the interurban trolley system to ultimately extend their lines to Co lumbia and towns in the lower part of the State. This statement may be accepted as fact, though as to how soon these later plans may mature is not just now known. A surveying party left yesterday ir charge of J. E. Sirrine to ru'n a survey from Laurens to Clinton, and it is understood to be the plans of the company to push this extension in that direction without delay. This survey, however, is a preliminary one, and does not mean the line will nec essarily go to these points. Many be lieve, on the other hand, that the first extension of the Gre.nville, Spartan burg & Anderson' will go in that di rection. The present survey, it is stated, is made with a view of esti mating the cost of the line. The people along this route, and especially those at Laurens, have ta ken the greatest interest in the new line, have warmly expressed their de sires to get a connection with this trolley line through the Piedmont. Among the more material. expressions of this desire, is the action of the Watts mill at Laurens, which has made a conditional stock subscription of 25 cents per spindle, aggregating $10,800, contingent upon the construc tion of the line to Laurens and to the Watts mill. In order to see if the line can be built and at what cost, the preliminary survey is now being made. State to State System. In connection with the survey, and possible construction of the line to Laurens, there are some interesting points of speculation, which appear to render it probable that the inter urban trolley branch to Laurens will be among the first constructed. There is in construction now in North Carolina, the Piedmont Trac lion company, backed by the same financial interests, essentially, as the Greenville, Spartanburg & Anderson. Of this line, W. S. Lee, vice-president of the Southern Power company and J. P. Clark is general manager, which latter gentleman also holds the same office with regard to the South Caro lina line. This twin sister of the South Carolina line has progressed further than the Greenville, Spartan burg & Anderson, a contract for con struction having already been let. That line will connect a number of the principal cities of the Piedmont section of North Car. lina, and from Charlotte will reach do'. i to" spar tanburg, at which point it will con nect with the Greenville, Spartanburg & Anderson railway. When this junc tion has been attained the two roads will probably be consolidated, or may operate together under their old cor porate names. This will give a trolley system con necting the most importevt industrial section of thte Carolina F~iedmont belt. Interesting Speculation. With the Laurens and Clinton branch, however, those who have ta 'ken a comprehensive survey of the entire movement see indications of a rather sensational turn of the trolley connections. Fronm Clinton, the con struction of a line down to Columbia, the capital of the State, would be a mnost natural course to pursue, and from Columbia, there would be no good reason why branches should not eventually be constructed connecting the cities. of lower Carolina, and eventually reaching Charleston. This would give an electric rail way line connecting the principal cit ies of South Carolina, and passing through Greenville into North Caro lina, and would practically spread a network of trolley lines all over South Carolina, operated by power from the Great Falls and other plants of the Southern Power company. This would afford material competition to the steam operated roads, which now operate between the up-country and the low-country, and affording greater chances for reductions in freight rates, for which both private citizens and the cotton mills are now making a vigorous fight, with only a certain degree of success. A Great Impetus. Since the announcement of the pur chase of the Greenville Traction com pany by the Southern Power com pany Interest for the benefit of the new interurban trolley lines and the increase of the capital stock of the railway company to two millions, a great impetus has been given to trol ley line affairs in this section, and the early beginning and completion of the lineC betweenl Beton and Gre'mn this route. It will be remembered that several mills along this road, in cluding the Pelzer and Williamston cotton mills, have made a subscrip tion of 25 cents per spindle to the stock of the railway. Private indi viduals also have made some stock' subscriptions, and it is believed that it will be only a few days before the, announcement will be made that the contract has been let for line con struction between Greenville and Bel ton. With the completion of the system between Greenville and Anderson and Spartanburg, and the construction of the branch to Anderson, Greenville will become a trolley line centre for this State. and should the dream of the all-State electric railway ever be realized, the Mountain City will come into her own as the central city of the Piedmont belt. NATIONAL POLITICAL SITUATION As Reviewed by the Atlanta Clnstitu tion-New Republkan Paorty Faces the Nation. Atlanta Constitution. Tuesday's Republican primaries the country over wrote a new and :nom entous chapter in national political history. Here is its significance: The old Republican party, as we have known it for half a century. is in process of dissolution. A new Republican party, as far apart as the poles from the old or ganization in practice and principle, is swiftly forming its squares and bat talions from the demoralized rank and file of traditional republicanism. The long-coming climax of the ver dict at the polls last Tuesday shows In Michigan, Senator Julius Caesar the revolution as already more than half accomplished. Burrows has been overwhelmingly re pudiated. Burrows was the alter ego, the faithful shadow of Aldrich and Aldrichism. In virtually every ballot upon the new tariff In the senate he voted with the Rhode Island dictator. Their variation in action and policy was so slight as to be negligible. In him tLe main prop, after Aldrich, of the peculiarly Republican doctrine of special privilege in the senate has gone the way of Aldrich and of Can non. In Vermont, accepted by the politi-' cally astute as the weather vane for the later national elections, the Re-j publican majorities have been reduc ed as at no time since 1870, with two minor exceptions. In New Hampshire, once as immov ably stand-pat as Vermont, an insur gent governor has been selected. In Wisconsin, La Follette, probably the original "insurgent," who typifies the antipodal extreme to Aldrich, has swept his reactionary opponent from !the running by a vote of 5 tol1. In California the insurgents have: captured the State machinery with hardly a struggle. And all these have followed Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and other States in which Republican in surgency has triumphed against the old order. In brief, in those preliminary battles and skirmishes relied upon to reveal! the popular drift, the insurgents have swept the country. They have writ ten an imprimatur upon the Repubiil can party in language that is unmis-! takably that of possession. Nor did it require the verdict of Tuesday to set forth that fact. For weeks the most ingrained stand-pat ters have been repudiating Canzion and Cannonism, Aldrich and Aldri-hism. The rejection, from such sourc3, of (ejnnon and that for which he sta ;ds does not lack in elements of pathos] and, partially, cowardice. Many of the old-line "regulars" now most vehement in their repudiation of the speaker are responsible for the ::ys tem of which he is but the expression and the scapegoat. He is a creature of their own mak-1 ing and maintenance. They were ready enough to glory in his tyranny, so long as it brought them the fruits of patronage and political strength1 and even measurably escaped public condemnation. Now that he stands isolated as the principal representative of the old re gime with courage to deefnd its doe trines and precepts, his previous ido lators seek to save their own hides byi joining the pack at his back. It is a.i species of chicken-heartedness insep-1 arable from politics, but none the' more savory. Where does this insurgency that has now become instead a party revo 'lution leave President Taft?] If logic counts and consistency rules, how can he escape being en gulfed in the storm that has overtak-1 en the Bourbon element of his party?,1 At a time when he could have re deemed his pledge to the people by I aligning himself with the progressive sentiment, he was upholding the hands 1 of Cannon in the house, Aldrich in the senate.
