COL. J. T. SLOAN DIES ON RAILWAY TRAIN. Former Lieutenant Governor of South Expires on Way Home From Hospital In V- Columbia, At 1 o'clock thU Worn- ingnews was received of the death on a train near Greensboro, rf Col.

B. IT Pawl, of Lexington, a grad uate t'i' Clenisott has I thief the, dairy division -f the of iruH-it at Wj at salary tf THE CHANCES ARE GOOD. Talk of Extending Line Either From or Belton to Thii City Two Proposition. The contract has been let to build a trolley line from Greenville to Wil-liamston. This ha caused the people of Greenwood to consider the pro position of extending the line from Williamston to this city.

If this. Is done the trolley line will pass throug.li one of the best farming sections in the Piedmont. It'will also mean a great deal to Greenwood in a busineiS way and we understand' that prominent business men are looking into the matter. Still Another Opportunity. The Anderson Mail contains the following in regard to the advisability of the Anderson Traction Company extending their line which runs from Anderson to Belton on to Green wood: It looks now as if the Anderson Traction company is to besaved to the original stockholdeflC There every reason to bpHeve that they are going to put through additional money into it to pay off the pressing debts and t.jke it out hands of the're- CciVers, arid there is talk of extending the inter-urban line to Pelzer.

1 It i said that if "the inter-urban line is extended- to Pelzer the people of Greenville build a line down to Pelzer to connect with it. Wedo not know Whether this is true or not, but we hope it is. There are a good many people who think it would be better for the Ai-derson Traction company to extend its inter-urban line, to Greenwood instead of to Greenville. A line could be built from Beitoi-4 Greenwood at a cost, because of the topography of the country, and a line to Greenwood would get about as many, if not quite-aTTiiany, passengers as a line to Greenville. In $dd ltion.

at Greenwood traffic arrangements could be made with the Seaboard Air Line-by which freight could be hauled. The Seaboard would be glad of a line into Anderson. No freight traffic arrangements could be secured at Greenville, for the Southern Railway could not be expected to give part of its freight business, on any to a competing line which would gtt most of its local passenger business. Now, the people of Greenville have talked much'about an inter-urbajiltrte but so far nobody has been hurt in a Scramble on their part to put money into one. How would it do for the people1 of Greenville, to moke -a proposition to build the inter-urban line to Belton, if the'people of Anderson will build a line from Belton to Greenwood? We have no authority to speak for any body, but we believe that if they would make such a proposition their offer would be accepted before they could say Scat.

Greenville would be. benefitted by the inter-Mrbatl line, and so would An derson, and all the country between Greenwood and Greenville wculd be benefitted by a PiedmonMrolley line What do our friends at Greenville think of -the suggestion? Fire Monday. The residence of Mrs Dav fid ikn caught on fire Monday about 1 o'clock. It seems that the fire origi nated between the roof and the ceiling1 of the house. The fire department by hard work managed ro extinguish it" in a short while by part of the roof off.
