very rapidly. About Il miles Of the
20 miles to be graded has been CON-

tire 90 miles completed by June LIST OF
next year. Justice OF the Peace Fred

CT the road. was in Durham today,
and from him facts regarding the ROAD
was learned. The charter calls for .
road 20 miles long. and this viii bring
the road within 3 miles of Chapel Hill
and miles OF Durham. The ultimate
Intentions are 10 connect the road.
either here or at Chapel Hill, with
other roads. 1t is more than probable
that the road will come here. This
will give the people OF Durham . d.
rect southern outlet for both freight
and passenger traffic. The road is
getting its financial backing from w.
r. Bonsal, CT Hamlet, and other capi-
talists. There Is plenty of money back
OF the road to complete it to any point
desired. Durham people are extremely
anxious for the road 10 come here. and
some time ago the chamber OF COM
merce appoiL ted a committee to look
into the matter. When the time ar.
riyes Durham people will probably
contribute to the building Of the road
Mr.. Williams says that at the present
time $50 men and IS mules are employ
ed in grading the road. The work ta
being pushed as rapidly as possible
In addition to opening UP and placing
on the market a valuable timber Sec
ton. the road may mean great things
later on. 1t will give a shorter route
south for the Seaboard road, and the
Norfolk aid Western will have fine
southern outlet for handling freight
to points south.
