The town Of Southport, located
right at the mouth Of the Cape Fear
river, has been working for a rail
/ road for many years and at intervals
SOME project springs UP which gives
promise OF gratifying the desire for
railroad. but so far no actual move
ment has ever been started in that
direction. Mr.. F. A. Burroughs, pres
ident of the Conway, Coast and Wes-
tern Railroad Company, Of Conway,
S. c., writes some of the leading citi-
zens of the town that he will extend
his road to Southport If the people
there show proper interest In the
movement He will visit the place at
an early date and take the matter
up with the chamber OF commerce
there and if the proper interest IS
shown something may materialiZe.
Southport is one of the best situated
ports on the Atlantic coast and 1t
will prove a splendid deep water ter
minal for railroad.

form OF the woman. Mrs. Hinson
screamed for help and some one pass
ing that way drove the animal away.
A physician was sent for and the un.
fortunate woman examined. It was
ascertained that no bones were bro
ken, but her chest and stomach were
badly bruised The COW used her
feet in causing the injuries. The an
imal did not attempt to hook Mrs
HinsOn.
