A V* THE CAR SHOPS. The news item from Rocky Mount telling of the big expansion of the Atlantic Coast Line there in the way of ear buL’ding and repair shops would have made much more interesting reading had it carried a Florence date line. .At one time there wns well found ed belief that the big car shops which will be,.built at Rocky Mount, would lie located here, and It was stated wuthoritat vely that the plans had been decided upon when the strike of shopmen came on. Due to the alleged lack of interest on the part of the officials of Florence to cooperate m the protection of Atlantic Crust Line property during the strike, it has been stated, the company abandoned a, 1 ! idea of increasing its facilities here. All of this may or may not be true. The Times does not know of its own knowledge Just wny Florence lost the concerned Florence was no worse Uvin however, that as far as the strike was car shops. The Times does believe, other points along the Atlantic Coast Line in the events of that unfortunate period. Therefore the Atlantic Coast Line must have-had more {reasonable ground for carry ng the car shops l elsewhere. It Is possible that the Coast Line has other plans for Florence , which it intends to substitute for the j car shop. We hope this is the (Rise. | This much is certain, the officials of the company are not unmindful of the i advantages this city offers for ex- : pansion a/ong all lines and we believe that Florence will have all considera tion when improvements are con- ! templeted by the company.
