Report From Spartanburg
Has It So.

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."
