And it is this, | am informed, that is
the most powerful reason for building the
Reidsville- Kernersvile and Mt Mourne-
Gastonia links. If they are not built.
then the Southern will be compelled, if
the Legislature will permit it, to build a
double track at least from Salisbury to
Greensboro. So enormous has become
the freight and passenger business on
this section of the main line that one
track will not accommodate it. Only
one night last week there were on this
track of forty miles length twenty-five
trains.
This congestion must be relieved, fol
it will grow greater from year to year.
as the country develops. The question
with the road-and the only question
is whether it will be better to build the
two links of 40 miles, thereby shorten
ing its line that much, or parallel the for
ty miles of track from Greensboro to
