C. i W. C. TRACKS? Report From Spartanburg Has It So. A NOTEWORTHY DEAL Railroad tVoni Coal Fields (o the Const May Conic Through Laftreiis ? Y.'ouki Menu Much For ( lly. A jrbport from Spartanburg lifts it (hut the Cllnehfield road lias leased the C. & W. ('. Railway tracks from Spartanburg to Augusta, via Laurens. If this bo true, i; will mean great things for Ltls city, rh the C. C. 6. Is a trank lino, connecting the coal lields of Kentucky with the eastern coast. The report. Which is as fid low;!, is however, not yet confirmed: "The Carolina, Cllnehfield & Ohio road lias closed a contract with the Charleston fi West? rn Carolina road to operate trains from Spartanburg to Angutta beginning October 1, and until the C. C. & O. can build its own line from here to Charleston. "The Carolina, Cllnehfield & Ohio road will probably be open for the opciation of trains between here and Hostie by October I, certainly not later than the middle of November. The contractors have long since fin ished all the grading, with the ex ception of a few hundred feet In the <dty; the concrete work is about com pleted; steel trestles have been built and track laying is being pushed to Boalie, . "The C. c. & 0. road will operate trains from Cincinnati to St. Faul., Va., over the track of the, Norfolk & i Western and from St. Faul to Spar- J lanburg over its own line. Prom here to Auguutu the tracks for the Charles ton A Western Carolina will be he used for the present, and from Au gusta to Charleston the Atlantic Coast Line will be us< d. "The arrangement that has been j made is of great importance to the merchants of Spartanburg, for the city j will become a great railway center and the probabilities are that there may be a reduction In freight rates. "Notwithstanding that the report sent e>ut from Augusta that the C. C. Ac. O. road lias made a contract with the Charleston and Western Carolina road for its track from Spartanburg to Augusta, there are those of the opinion that the tracks of the South ern will be used by the C. C. A O. road from this city to Columbia and thence to Charl? ston. "The News and Courier publishes an editorial notice of the report that the C C. & O. has purchased a short line from this city to Columbia and arrives at the conclusion that the Southern is the road. However, it is not believed here that there has been any traffic arrangement with the Southern or tl at the rosd has been pur. based. It may be possible that the 0. C. fi O. road has made arrange ments with the Southern to handle all coal trains to Columbia, and points below pver the Southern. The report sent out from Augusta that a contract has been made wit it the C. & \V. 0. for .the operation of C. C. ?- O. trains over that road is generally accepted here." S ili: NEWS FROM EKOM. ,Vr.
