understood that a report will be made 10 the
authorities Of the Midland road. Tue plan
i TO extend the Midland road from Danyille
hy way Of the coalticlds Of Rockingham
county TO Statesvllr, and thus establish q
through line from Baltimore TO Atlanta. 1t
j. said that the load from Charlotte TO At
lanta is mostly the property OF New York
capitalists. and that they wish this road
built, and Baltimore is expected to help.
The cost is put down now at about four
millions. Permit me TO say, however, that

that OF suspicion.
