I) M. Burroughs and J. E. Bryan,--Interesting bit of * History Concerning Line Belated in the the Times. The Georgetown Times, recently eontei ed two articles to the effect that there 7?as a largo deal on foot whereby Mr. A 0 Thompson would become the owner of a majority of the stock in the Waccamaw Line of Steamers, and that the deal would likely go through. Investigation here shows that negotiations were or> for several days between Mr. Thompson and Messrs. D. M. Burroughs and J. E Bryan, but the pro position that was made for the sale of the holdings was not accepted and the deal has not gone through, and it is not likely that any change in the ownership of this line of steam ers will take place. Recently the holdings of Mr. F. A. Burroughs in the line were purchased by Messrs. J. E. Bryan and D M. Burroughs, and it was with these latter, as v e understand it, that the negotiations mentioned in the "d imes" look place, t. The "Times" in a recent issue con taiued the following bit of history concerning the Waccamaw Line of Steamers, which will be interesting to many people here: The Waccamaw Line was organized some thirty-four years ago by . , Burroughs & Collins, of Conway, with the old steamer Juniper, of which '.'Charlie" Gilligun was captain and "Charlie" Elliott engineer. Later the line was enlarged by the addition of several boats, under the direction of Capt. Henry T. Williams, who for years was commodore o! the licet, and "Ike" J. Williams was tbe fleet chief engineer. Both of thc-cv excellent gentlemen are now dead, Por thirty-two years Mr. Donald T. McNeill has boen manager of the lino, and he is still with it in the sumo capacity and as part owner, The lino's fleet at present consists of the P. G. Burroughs, the Ruth and the Mitchell O., steamers, and one large gasoline towing boat, used principally on the upper Waccainaw, taking lighters as high up as Piroway Ferry, N. C.

One of The Largest Lumber I'lants in the World ATLANTIC COAST CORP. Loss of Immense Properties of Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation at Georgetown Reported,--Only Meager Details Obtainable,--Largest Plant in the World,- Helped to Make Georgetown. News reached Conway last Mon:lay evening that the plan1, of the Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation it Georgetown had been destroyed Dy lire. A travelling salesman who eft Georgetown on Monday irornng and arrived at Conway in the Afternoon, stated that the plant was miming up when he left home. It was later that a telegram was received by Mr. M, G Anders son from his brother an employee of the Coast Corporati >n, which stated in effect that the entire plant had been destroyed, The Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation, successor to the Atlantic Coast Lumber Co., as tho concern was named when (irst organized, erected at Georgetown more than ton years ago, what was then the largest lumber plant and planing mills in the world. The company purchased options on the largest tracts of timbor to bo had, and they ran railroads to large tracts which before had been regarded as inaccessible. They conducted the lumber and timber business, and many con aeeted enterprises on a very large scale. They located their plant at one end of Georgetown, and before long Georgetown swelled into a city of twice its former size, so thai the half formed aud built by the lumber company, carne to be called "The New Town". The burning of such a largo en tor prise and one so important in the Industrial life of this section of tho State, throwing about three thousand hands out of em ployment, struck amazement in tliminds of all who heard the news, and it was a shock to this entire section. It is not stated whether the plant will bo rebuilt, but it is thought that operations to that end will begin at once. The full extent of the catastrophe can hardly be realized but it is st.at?d that the loss is fully covered by insurance. Later it wasronorted from George town that two of the mills, together with the power house and two dry kilns, and a vast amount of lumber about leu million feet, was extent ol the loss to the plant. This moans that two of the large saw mills belonging to them were untouched, as also the chemical plaut. The loss is estimated in Onnfm-i c\ kx/ n ! y. m hr>?i f I ^ vw l? l* 1% J uv/wu u one half million dollars, but this is completely covered by insurance. The later news also stated that the management of the company stated that the work of rebuilding and re placing would b^gin at once, and that the two mills which wore not destroyed will be run day and night. Prom this it seems that the fire may nob be as distastrous to the large number of employees, and the business interests of Ge)rgotown, generally, as was expected at first Soon after this great fire started the pumps got out of fix, and afcer that it was practcially imposible to check the flames. The plant of the Dupont Powder Co,,, wh eh makes alcohol out of siw dust was save:! by most heroic work on the part of the management at d employees ?of this enterprise.
