WINSTON, N. c., Sept. g. Civil En-
gineer NJ. 0. Hawkins, Of the Richmond
mond & Danvlle company, has been
ordered to survey three routes from
Wilkesboro to Bristol, Tenn, to select
the best one by which to run the Rich
mond & Danviile line to that point Mr..
Hawkins does not talk much about it
himself, but it is generally believed here
by men whose, Judgment can be relied
upon, that this means either main line
from Washington, or one from Norfolk
through Winston,to Bristol. The Rich
mond & Danvilie company has, as IS
we'll known, declared their desire to run
the main line of their system from Dan
vile via Winston, Wilkesboro to Bristol,
Tenn, where they could connect with
the d. 7. V & g., their own road, thus
completing the system to Atlanta. The
purchase of the Danville & New River
road either means the above Or a con-
nection between Danville and Bristol
via Stewart, Va In this event, that will
not be made the through line, it is
| thought, but some other connection with
the South from Danville will be sought.
From reliable railroad parties it was
| heard that the Atlantic and Danville
road would be compelled to finally give
way to the Richmond & Danyille which
road is making an effort to get fine
water port. Il this happens any time
soon, the line, it is said, will be pushed
On by way Of Winston and will tap here
this new road, completing the connec-
| Norfolk and Western road out of a tre-
mendous cotton traffic from the South.
No one know the plans of railroad men.
