RICHMOND AND DANvILLE RAILROAD AND IT'S
CONNECTION WITH MILTON, N. c.
To The Editors eftle Enquirer.
Gentlemen Permit me respectfully 10 call your attention
10 the importance OF SO locating the line of the Richmond
and Danvie Railroad for to run by the town OF Milton
n. c. situated Immediately on the Dan ryer ana o!a'e g,
miles below the Danvlle From the memorial winch
had the honor present. from the citizens OF the Town W
Milton TO the annual meeting OF the Stockholders OF l
Richmond and DanvIle Railroad Company, II appears that
the reghts paid produce and merchandise TO ana
from Milton las estimated by its most intelligent merchans
now amounts thirty thousand dollars per annu anu n
creasnr every year; equal not greater than ha
paid by the citizens of Danye From surveys na nave al
ready been made under the direction OF the chef engineer
of the company and by Mr. Couty former engineer IN he
service Of The State Of Virginia. appears that the distance
by Milton Danvic is the same If not little nearer lhan
the route which has lately been proposed 10 locate M
road or in other words the route by Milton IS the most d.
rect and ELIGIBLE one avoiding engineering difficulties from
Richmond to Danvle; and that up the valley OF the Dan
river the road will cost only about half much in grading
&C. as i, will on the ridge route and in addition the repairs
for all time 10 come will be much less The running OF the road
by Milton will also give Richmond valuable trade ro rc
agricultural and manufacturing country when no" goes 10
other places and the receiving and forwarding business
for nil the section Of country contiguous Milton embrac
Ties of Orange and Allemance, in North Carolina
But in addition 10 all have before stated me running OF
the road by Milton will ensure connection WIN tie great
Central Railroad North Carolina from Coldsboroush via
Raleigh Grecnsborough and Salisbury To Charlotte, aho
thence to Columbia South Carolina which will now certain
Is be built and when this connection is made reference 10
the Man OF the United will show that this will be the
most direct eligible and pleasant travelling route from Norm
to South and will make the city OF Richmond the most con-
yene market for all the produce (and anuiacrng) oil
large scope country rich in minerals and agricultural pro-
dctons of almost every kind 10 country while
the receiving and forwarding business TO and from other mar
kets will be immense No improvement projected, or
which be projected will come in competition with or
be au With such happy S 5 n 10 ee
business and give largely enhanced value TO all Oh hef ea
estate. 80,
hope the citizens of Richmond will be aroused to pro-
per regard for their interests in this matter Inc Only canc
for connection with the North Carolina Central Rallrold
Milton; nearest ana DcSt
through country rich in agricultural productions and abound
ing in water power And from Milton to Greensborosh
where branch road from the Richmond and Danvic Road
will connect with the Central Railroad distance OF abont
fifty miles there is upwards of thirty miles ridge mostly
level dividing the of County Line creek and Dan
river in going over which, do not cross spring
branch such route Is 10 DC iouho any "cc e'se III 'e
upper country.
Our friends from Danve and its vicinity, who are oppo-
sing this Milton. say that in going up the val
lev of the river from that place to Danyi the road WIN run
few miles through small skirt of territory OF North Caro-
lima on North side of the river This they may resi- as
sured will create no difficulty Legislature will doubt
NOT by unanimous vote allow the right Of way through H.
The chief engineer happy learn has directed sur
vey from Virginia line opposite 10 Milton to Danve
on the Virginia side of the State line and may be that
this will be- found the direct and eligible route: So
will be adopted for the road is not YET located from the
Stamton river 10 Danvlle
hope we shall have the hearty and jealous cooperation
IF the Commonwealth of Virginia. the citizens OF Richmond
and all others Interested in the road in forming connection
which will be mutually advantageous TO both States, make
the road the most profitable and beneficial OF any other in
the south and which will tend unite indissoluby
those ties which have long made people in feeling
and interests. Yours truly,
