4. XN. c. LEASE PROPOSITION
SUBMITTED BY ATLANTIC
RAILWAY COMO RE
PLY MADE YET.

Raleigh News-Observer Nov. 20.
The third proposition to lease the
Atlantic and North Carolina Rail
road, which had been predicted and
expected for some time, came in yes
terday afternoon with the train from
Goldsboro, and was at once taken up
to the Executive Office and SUBJ
mitted to Governor Aycock. The
gentlemen who conveyed the propo-
sition to the Governor were Messrs.
j. A. Mills, w. w. Mills, of this
city; H. L. Finlayson, of Goldsboro;
w. T. Dorich, of G%oldsboro; and
Judge T. B. Womack, of Raleigh.
All of these gentlemen r stock
holders in the newly chartered At
lantic Railway Company, which pro-
pose to operate a line from Colds
boro to Raleigh. Mr. w. w. Mills
is president, Mr.. Fin)ayson is secre-
tary, and Mr. Dortch and Judge Wo-
mack are attorneys for the company.
The stockholders of the new COM
pany met in Goldsboro yesterdayand
perfected their organization and del
egated the above named gentlemen
to submit the proposition to the Gov
ernor, which was done without de-
lay. Governor Aycock heard the pro-
position, but did not indicate in any
way what course the State would
take in the matter. 1t is likely that
it will be several days before any re-
ply is made.
