Nev THE ATLANTIC COAST LINE. It Has a Firm Foothold in Georgia. "You want to keep your eye oo the developmeot of the Atlaotio Ooaet Lioe system," ssid o railroad mao to a News aod Courier reporter. The manner io which that system it reaohiog oot towarda the southwest is soprisiog some of us ; aod oo oos seems to koow just where it is goiog to atop. Story rail road mao remembers how the Atlantic Coast lioe got oter into Georgia, years ago aod how it was orowdsd eat of that territory after bating got a taste of the rich trafie whioh or ig to at es there , It* Ias e matter of eonojpo report that the aaegemeot would oevsr be satisfied until the ground loot theo was recover? ed. So? wtaeo it became too wo that the Atlantic Coast Lioe acquired eon trol of the Charleston i and Wettern1 Carotine lioea. we all felt that it wet merely a atop taken io a certain dirse? tt oo. Tee moves that bate bean made aioee then have been very Important ones, for-all that the public knows little or nothing concerning them. There are probably oot ten laymen in Charles too who are aware of the foot that the Atlantic Coast Lioe haa large interests | is no less than three important roads in Georgia A few people may h?ve beard that it is in possession of one-half of the lease of the Georgia road, but i there is hardly a man out of the bus io ess whs has lea. aed that it also participates to ooatrol of the Atlantic aod West Poiot aod the West Alabama Hues. Of course, the Louisville aod Nashville med to have absolute control of thess tbrse rosds, aod 1 suppose the purchase of an interest io them by the Atlantic Coast Lioe was responsible for the rumor current some months ago to the effeot that the Louisville and Nashville was aboot to absorb the Atlantic Coast Lioe "Bat, however, that may be, there is oo question of the faet that the Atlaotio Coast Line is oow io post'ba to do ao extensive business io the southwest?that is to say, beyond Atlanta?aod that it means to improve its opportunities The Louisville and Nashviits seems to havs ahaodooed for tie time being all thought of oomiog to the Atlaotio seaboard, aod that this faot seems to suggest the belief that the Coast Lioe will gradually assume abso? lute f >otrol of the Georgia road Jost how far it will participate io the mao agemeot of the Atlaota aod West Poiot and the Western of Alabama does oot yet appear I do oot eveo koow just when it acquired its iotersst io those lines With its porehase of the Charleston aod Western Carolioa road it inherited some sort of olaim to a ahare io the lease of the Georgia road .from Thomas aed Ryan Haviog deci led to coo floe itself te ths Missis sippi Valley for the most part, the Louisville and Nashville was doubtless glad eooogh to get some ooe oot ao aotnal competitor to take a share of the lease ; aod while this trade was heiog made it is more than probable that tbe transfer of a share io the other two lines was made. It is plaio to every ooe bow moob tbe positioo of tbe Atlaotio Coaat Line system has been strengthened by these purchases Ths road ia io better ah ape to do business tbao it has ever beeo before, sod that ia tbe reason that I a ty it would be well for every ooe who if interested to keep ao eye oo tbe Coast Lioe aod its transsotioos io tbe Iffuture." ? i i s <-^a^?
