VfpB,.Uiy x I lAUIJNS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8,1916. ONM PROPOS[D It[ Estimated Cest of the Line, Ft Nearly all Rights of W operation Desired. The following statement in regard to the proposed Carolina Rapid Transit Company has been issued by J. F. Jacobs of Clinton, chairman of the Board of Corporators: Mr. Reid Tull, Chief Engineer of the Carolina Rapid Transit Company, has just finished the field work in the sur vey, and begins the office work in the preparation of the engineering report, collection of commercial data, etc., this week. Two lines and in some cases three lines have been run, with a view to the final adoption of the most feas ible route, measured in he light of the cost of construction, cost of operation, the mileage, and the degree of co-op eration given by the people on the com peting lines, the plan being to connect Spartanburg, Union, Laurens and Clin ton by a rapid electric transit system for freight and passengers. 'Mr. Tull advises that the cost of this line fully equipped, built in an A-I manner with maximum grade of 1 per cent and maximum curvature of 6 degrees, heavy rail, heavy overhead construction, first class 60-foot ex press cars and heavy electric engines for the first service will be about $50, 000 per mile. The mileage is about sixty-two miles, so that the actual cost of construction and equipment will be upwards of $3,000.00, exclusive of any possible power development which may be involved in the proposition. Mr. Tull is mugh pleased with the character of the country traversed and with the volume of business evidently to be had for such a line. The actual facts and figures of the cost will not develop until the engineering and con inercial reports are complete. The work will be done very thoroughly and when finished, will be laid before the people of the three counties in full de tail. The engineering corps has had in charge the securing of rights of way, and fully 95 per cent of the rights of way are already in hands In a few in.. stances there has been a lack of co operation, and such instances are like- I ly to work greatly to the disadvantage I of tihe line of survey on Mwhich they oc cur.

May ('ome to Coast. New London, Conn., Nov. 3.-The I (lerman armored submarine U-57, sis tersipi of tile U-53, which recently sank five vessels off the New England coast, is expected to act as a ocnvoy for the undersea freighlter, Duetsch land on lher retutrn trip to Germany, according to a statement tonight by Capt. Paul Koenig. The Duetschland skipper added: "I would not be surprised if the armed submarine appeared off thist coast while I am in por't. You can't tell what the government will (do." Capt. Koenig said lhe prlobably would make his homeward dash within the 0 next ten days. ie den iedl a r'eportf that ho would go through the Cape Cod canal, saying nothing was to be gainedll by this route. Ofllcials of the Eastern forwarding company announced that the Duetschi land's cargo was discharged at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Great care l was exercised to prevent outsiders I from seeing tihe work. Only the crewt of thle submarine and( 'the North (icr man Lloyd liner' Willehiad were al- a lowed in the hold. .

The line will no doubt be located where the largest co-operation is de veloped, for in nearly all cases the com petitive surveys are pretty well bal anced as regards cis tof construction anced as regards cost of construction be largely a question of the degree of o-operation afforded by the. people along a given line as to whether the railroad will be built along that line :r not. By co-operation is meant free rights of way, free town sites, exten iive subscriptions to capital stock, etc. It becomes moreand more clear that the people of the three counties are ioing to build the line, but it is not certain along what line of survey it will be built. Hence, it will be great ly to the interest of the people on or near any of the lines of survey to put forth their extremest endeavor to give the heartiest possible co-operation to those who have the matter in charge; that is, if they care to conserve their )wn interests, as well as advance the interest of their county. The subscriptions made to the ex penses of survey and the initial ex penses of organization have ony been paid in part. There remains to be col lected considerable sums in Spartan berg, Union, Glenn Springs, Cedar Springs, Cross Anchor, Walnut Grove, West Springs and Laurens. Only two points have paid their subscriptions :omplete, Tylersville and Clinton. The funds in hand will pay the ex penses of the' engineering corps for ibout one month further. Hence it is 3xtremely desirable that the Boards of Trade and public spirited citizens in the above mentioned communities which are still short on their collec ions get busy at once and collect up he entire volume of funds subscribed, )lacing same to the credit of the Caro Ina Rapid Transit Company Board of ,orporators. It is likely that the en tineering and commercial reports will > published for free distribution broughout the three counties, and will nonths. nonths.

You w II surely be amazedl t the result of von one ftpplication, or your hair an sc 4r-1iill look and eel 100 per con ter.
