cities are the largest and most import
TINT on its probable line fr, m Winston
South. They both are on one of the
routes surveyed and il they clasp hands
the road is a certainty by this route.
as we write tonight it is reported
that mass-mcctiDg of the citizens Of
Salisbury is being held to offer some
inducements 10 come this way What
action will n taken we are not aware.
but Charlotte must join Salisbury if
they are To get the road Every intel
ligcnt citizen here is aware that our
very essential link is lacking for COM
plcte railroad facilities for this CITY.
The Scaboard Air Line, in its cXtcn-
sion South, has practically side tracked
Charlotte and the K. & d. has a monop.

therefore the r Il ID. or some such
line is AN Imperative necessity to rapid
growth. But faint heartedness and in
difference will not bring the r. & s.

around here that want it and will paw
for it. Is the game worth the candle?
1t is. Let us join Salisbury if it h; g

strong as king and queen on a chess
