SYSTEM-COAST LINE SHUT
OUT BY DEAL.
Georgetown, . April 24: ? The
Georgetown and Western Railway
has been sold to the Seaboard Air
' t
Line. President Clifford, of the
Atlantic Coast Lumber corporation,
went to New York last Saturday to
mAaf fka Qooknor^ nannlp and WlTPS
UI^VV UUV WVMWWAV {/Wfr.v, ? WW
from that city to officials here confirm
the rumor printed in the News
and Courier a few days ago. The
t sale includes all properties of the
r Georgetown and Western?the line
v to Lanes and from Andrews to Poston.
The Seaboard will take up the
operation of the new property at
once.
The News and Courier corres>
pond en t talked with Superintendent
Emart, of the Georgetown and Western,
this morning and he confirmed
the sale. Mr Emart asserted that
the property will be greatly improved
for heavy service. The line from
Andrews to Poston will be a link in
j the through line from Hamlet to
^ Charleston and will be put in the
best of condition for fast and heavy
trains. The heaviest rails will be
laid and the grades reduced to a
minimum. The same improvement
will be made on the line from Georgetown
to Andrews.
?? ^ i. n
The Se&ooara win pui iieorgetown
sixteen miles nearer Charleston
and such schedules will be made
as will make the trip between the
two cities very much more convenl
ient and quicker. Mr Emart says
I that the introduction of passenger
business on the Seaboard to Charleston
will probably follow immediately
the completion of the connection
with the union station in that city.
Very probably, in the opinion of Mr
Emart, Georgetown will have a
special train to Charleston in addition
to the through trains from
damlet. A gas-electric car service
between the cities is in contemplation.
No information as to any changes
in the officials of the line is available.
, R J Clifford has been president; W
\ ' H Andrews, general manager, and J
A Emart, superintendent, and it is
earnestly hoped in this city that
these gentlemen will continue with
the road.
rr V-LI
very pruuauiy uew vcimiuoi lenities
will come with the change. The
, Seaboard now has this port to itself. j
The Atlantic Coast Line, which has
had a free hand for all these years, i
will be completely shut out if itj
v does not build its own line.
> Attention. Vetera
A meeting of Camp Pressley will
I be held Monday, May 10, in the
' court house at 11 a. m. A full attendance
of members is requested.
The co-operation of the members of
the U D C Chapter is earnestly solicited.
Also the teachers and pupils
of the graded school (in Kingstree)
are cordially invited to attend
and participate in the exercises of
that day. The public is invited.
