The Atlantic and Danvile railroad was

States. in the suit Of Il. Newgoss IL Co.
and the Mercantile Trust Company

sons assembled in front of the custom

only two bidders. the purchaser and the
Mercantile Trust Company. The latter

their claims.
Plans OF tho Purchasers.
Newgoss e. Co. represented SIOO0.OO0
Of bonded indebtedness out of total OF
S5.1pUO. II was reported that the
Norfolk and Western and the Chesapeake
and Ohio would likely make an effort TO
secure the road. but no bids were made
for either. Mr. Newgoss said TO The
Times man that he bought the property
for the bondhoders, who would re-
organize and operate 1t. and possibly ex
tend the line.
When asked IL the word operate. as
used by them. indicated that the Norfolk
and Western and Chesapeake and ohio
could not buy the property. said Oh:
we have the right to sell If we so desire.
Should the Norfo.k and Western buy
the road. by building from Martinsville
to Danville. thirty-eight miles, the com
pany would have a double track from
Radford TO their deep-water terminus at
Norfolk. which is much needed for their
heavy coal trade.
Should the buyer be the Chesapeake
and Ohio. a new track from some point
on James RIVER via Farmville would
give them a double track and deep water,
and let their trains into Norfolk.
Would Lik- to 20 to Norfolk.
1t Is known that this road would like
TO come to Norfolk, and the ferry does
not answer the requirements of trade.
Mr.. Frank Woodson of the Danville
Register. Is here, and indicates that his
people would like for the property TO
go into the hands of the Norfolk and
Western. which would give the little
tobacco city competing lines North and
West.
The venerable Charles Reid will to-mor-
row celebrate his ninety-fifth birthday.
Mr.. Reid is the Oldest merchant In East

army of three hundred men arrived in

This decision was arrived at day or
so ago, and the trip will be maze with
view OF converting as many southern peo-
pie as possible to the ideas advocated by
Coxey AS at present figured out by
Coxey it will require the best part OF
two months for his army TO so to Wash
ington and see the Coxey measures acted
upon by Congress.
Then the army. or as much OF ii as
remains intact, will take trip through
Virginia. North and South Carolina, being
joined in the latter State by Frye and his

to win the Southern farmers over to the
Coxey- Brown-Smith ideas. When this is
