We hear it from what seems to be a
reliable source that the Norfolk & South
ern railroad people are considering the
question of the purchase of the Washing
ton e Plymouth railroad, making it a
standard guage and extending it to Ra-
leigh. This would give US better railroad
facilities and would more than double
the scope of the roads business. 1t is
thought that they are considering making

new railroad project for Asheville
is being agitated.
The matter has already assumed def
mite proportions and is being actively
taken in hand.
The proposed new road is from Ashe-
Vile to huntsville to tap the South and
Southwestern at a point near that place.
The people of huntsville are very much
interested in the matter and it is un-
ueTSlOOu tudl the pTOJeCt Will We piouShb
before the Board of Trade.
The building OF the road, it is said,
would mean much to the commercial
interests Of the city. Asheville has en-
jcyed the trade of the Yancey county Sec
tion for years, but this trade is gradually
slipping from her grasp and it is feared
that with the completion of the South
and Western that Asheville will lose the
Yancey county trade altogether.
It is said that such a line as is pro-
proposed would be one Of the best paying
short lines in the county and that its
value to Asheville could not be comput-
ed to say nothing of the impetus it
would give in the development of the
resources of this section.

IrrnGr WELLS, POSITION

Referring to these allegations, Chairman

"Mr Cockrell and his friends misstate

which II had ever met before and ala

HARD FIGHT IMMINENT.

From all that could be learned last night
the fight on Wells Is to be hard one.
Il. f. L. saner OF Dallas, the university
land agent who is one of the Cockrell
strikers, gave It out that Colonel Lanham
would be permitted to name the chairman,
provided he picked Cockrell. but that If
he should prefer some one else Cockrel
would not withdraw and would win any
how.
one Of the delegates who had been to
Galveston during the day came back with
the story that Judge Ed Il Gray of Dallas
Cockrells law partner, was down there
trying TO Impress the Island City con
tingept that Dallas would control four
votes In the lower house and one In the
senate next time. and threatening to swing
them against legislative aid for Galveston
In case the county's vote Is cast for Wells.
In addition 10 ell this, the Cockrell
hackers continue 10 put construction Of
their own on Judge Wells position IN the
Uniform primary matter They charge him
with being opposed to uniform primaries
and with having uEed his influence az the
meeting Of the executive committee nj
Dallas to defeat resolution that would
have caused them 10 no held. Further
more, they allegc that Chairman Wells de
! layed calling the committee together as
| long as possible In order 70 give the oppo
| nents OF n uniform primary date an oppor
| tunity 10 hold as mnny primaries as pos
| sible and so complicate matters that uni
| form date could not be Fixed without
| causing confusion.
