THE GREENsBoRo, ROAD.

The Greensboro Patriot publishes the follow
ing interesting article in regard to the Cheraw
aud Greensboro road:
The connection to be made by the road from
Greensboro to Cheraw will complete the short
est and spcedest route of communication be-
tween the Northern and Southern Atlantic
States that tS now or ever can be made. 1t must
then at once become and forever continue to
be the great thrOl,. route frdi. .T:rs,.
via Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, to
Charleston, and thence on to Savannah and
Florida. If prudently managed, there can be
mand the travel from the North to Charles
ton; Savannah, Southern Georgia and Florida.
IL will command the commercial and pleasure
travel from Florida, Southern Georgia, Charles
ton and large part of South Carolina, to the
North. 1t Is estimated that the travel from the
North to Florida alono amounts 10 fifty or six
ty thousand passengers year. And tho sum-
mer travel alone from tho South to the Vir-
gfnia springs and the great centres of recrea-
ton In the North, would approximate the
same number over this route. They go both
ways-equal to four trips year by this vast
number; In addition to divers other sources of
travel, including the way passage, which
would, Of course, be equal to that of other
shortest route between North and South
would, Of course, command freight to large
amount-pnrticularly the express business
and becomes the channel for mail transporta-
ton.
These considerations, with others which may
be readily suggested, are calculated TO arouse
active influences in favor of the connecting
link proposed, IN other quarters besides It's
own locality.
