A New Railroad.

W.. j. Thackstop, who was in Kox-
Vile last week, sends The News the fol
loving clipping from the Knoxyille
Sentinel, about the proposed road across
the mountains, which has been the
dream of Upper South Carolina for
more than half a century.
This county has certain advantages In
the way of making a subscription in the
aid of railroads which might enable us
to have this road come via Greonyille.
Why not let the Board of Trade take
the matter up and see If something can.
not be done.
| The following is the clipping:
| Maryville is to be the terminus of o
branch line of road TO be built by the
A charter which has been filed at Nash
Vile for the Tennessee part of the line
designated it as the Tennessee Carolina
Southern Railway Company. The cor
porators are Leon Jourolman, Henry
Fande, j. w. Cnlton, T. N. Brown and
w. p. Hood, all of the Southern Rail
way. The capital stock of the road is
put at $4,000, 900.
Mention was made in The Sentinel two
months or moro ago that such q plan
was on foot. It was then claimed that
If the road was built that it would be to
Maryville. Since then reports have
been circulated to the effect that the
road would connect with the Southern
at Charieston,. Tenn, which now ap-
pears to be without foundation.
This road 8 part of tho plan of the
Southern Rail way to get mere direct
connection into large part of North
Carolina and South Carolina which is
dependent upon the East Tennessee coal
mines. 1t will be over the route on
which work was done over three-quarters
of a century ago, back of which was
John G. Calhoun. 1t is said to be the
best route through the mountains for a
railroad,
The charter, in describing the course
over which the road is to be built, says
that the charter is for the purpose of
constructing and operating railroad
way of the Southern Railway Company
at Maryville, in the county of Blount;
thence through the counties of Blount
and Monroe to q connection with the
railway of the Carolina and Tennessee
Southern Railway company, organized
under the laws of North Carolina, at a
point on the boundary line between the
in said county of Monroe, where the
Tennessee River crosses the said bound
ary, line, an approximate distance of
forty miles.
This is over the route which the
Smoky Mountain Lumber and Manufac-
turing Company surveyed a line to their
Southern builds the line the lumber
company will probably give up it's plans
IN this respect. The road will follow
the old Black Diamond railroad route
which Albert e. Boone surveyed. 1t
will touch the slate properties of Cen
eral Hamilton and the site of the pro-
posed dam of the Knoxville Power
Company on the Little Tennessee River
and immense timber resources.
