North Carolina can be compromised with the
Government. Under certain restrictions the
terms are understood to be satisfactory to
General Leach, John N. Staples and Thomas
B. Keogh, who are attorneys for the whisky
and tobacco men of North Carolina. The
terms will be made known as soon as the for
NAL arrangements are completed with the at
torneys.
speaking of the prospects Of extending
the Chester and Lenoir Railroad into North
Carolina, the Hickory Press says: DIR. A. h.
Davega, President and Capt. Dwight En-.
gineer of the Chester and Lenoir Railroad,
were in town few days ago. They represent
the work on this road progressively rapidly.
There are 40 convicts at work now and they
are proving to be of much advantage. The
grading on the road to Lincolnton will be
completed in about sixty days-then the
forces will be put at once on this side of that
town. The engineer will begin the survey
through this county on next Monday. His
first surveys will be on the east side of Clarks
creek, to ascertain the cost of building the
road by that route from Lincolnton to New
ton. A number of surveys will doubtless be
made before the final location. This road
will be of great advantage to Catawba coun-
ty, and we would be glad to see it completed
into her borders at an early day.
