TO BUILD MoCKsvILLE BRANCH

In Il letter to the Manufa cturers' Rec
ord, Mr. III. Il. Fries, of Salem, y. c.,
writes that the plan of completing rail
road between Mocksville and Moores-
vile, in that State, has been revived.
Such railroad would give Winston
Salem a south and west outlet, and it is
understood that business bodies in other
towns along the route are urging the
building of this line. At present a branch
of the Southern Railroad system is in
operation from Winston-Salem TO
Mocksville. BY completing this branch
to Mooresville, distance of thirty miles,
a connection would be made with other
portions of the Southern system, giving
the new road more direct route to
Charlotte and to the South and West.
1t is probable that representations viii
be made to the Southern Railway Com
pany in favor of this scheme.
