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.
