Spartanburg, and think the two lines
can be tuilt as easily as one, and we
recommend this as a proposition to
the consideration of the Roanoke
Southern, and to our friends south of
US. We were much pleased and i'm.
pressed with the various dele.
cations of solid business men we
met at Roanoke, and as to the CITY
itself, and her citizens, it is impossi-
BILE to say too much, it is a wonder
full place, and calculated to fill one
with admiration, enthusiasm and en-
ergy, and makes us feel that she
ought to be added to us by line of
steel rails, and instead of being the
Twin-City, let us be known by the
name of the triplett cities, or adding
Martinsville couplette cities. The
most progressive in the two States.
We ask the Rail Road Committee
proper, to consider this report in con,
nection with and in relation to the va.
rious schemes before it and to submit
it to the Chamber with such recon.
mendations as they in their good judg.
ment deem proper for our best inter
ests. Respectfully submitted by

TO the Chamber Of Commerce:
GENTLEMEN, We have carefully
considered the report of the special
committee sent to Roanoke, Va. and
herewith submit it to you with the
recommendations that it be accented
endorsed and its plans carried into
effect. In making these recommen.
dations we feel that we are enteringa
hard fight, and one that will not soon
or easily be terminated. We recoo.
nize the fact that we are very near to
the grand trunk line ofthe most DOW
erful organization in the South-the
Richmond & Danville Railroad. We
are sure that we can neither get con.
troll of the charter or road bed of the
N. &. Midland, and we are almost
sure that when We commence work
on the Roanoke Southern the Rich
mond & Danville will commence
work on the n. G.. Midland, and n
fight will be commenced between two
rival lines running nearly side by
side a considerable distance. We are
fully convinced that the Roanoke
Southern will be built and know that
unless we do our full share of the
work it will never come to these terms.
We suggest that the Chamber ap.
point committee of nine members
as follows, three from Winston, two
from Salem, two from Mocksyille,
one from Madison and one from
Stoneyille to raise the seventy-fiye
thousand dollars private subscription,
and that another committee Of three
be appointed to prepare the charter.
Also that the two committees APP
pointed to constitute committee on
legislation and corporate subscrip-
lions. We submit the following res.
olutions:
Resolced. That it is The sense of this
