Mr.. BARR DID NOT o n


We stated yesterday on the author
ity Of The Observer Of Charlotte that
President Barr and other officials Of

that city last week and left on Thurs
day morning for Wilmington. They
have not yet put in an appearance.

railroad men reached that city Thurs
day afternoon and left the next morn
ing on their Journey n~orthward."
SO it seems that Nj. Barr has gwen
Wilmington and the Hamlet branch Of
his road the go by. This is pretty
positive proof that we are not going
to get any thing Dat OF Mr.. Barr in
h way Of improvements on increased
facilities. A week or two age Mr..
Barr wrote to President Taylor. of
our chamber of commerce, from Flor
da that he was then OF an inspecting
tour over the road and on his return
north would see Mr.. Taylor in Will
mington about the matters complain
ed Of.
Mr. Barr. 1T seems. has finished his
tour OF inspection and during it got
within only IN hundred miles of our
city.
1t may be that Mr.. Barr will come here
from Norfolk; that uhen he reached
Hamlet he concluded that he did not
care to run the risk Of a trip over the
part Of his system which forms the
Wilmington-Hamlet branch and thai
he uould rather not enter this city
through his dilapidated freight yards
and ramshackle passenger depot. We
hope that this is the situation OF af-
fairs and that Mr.. Bars failure to
come here from Hamlet does not meau
hat he has changed his mind and does
not intend to Keep the promise made
to Mr.. J. A. Taylor. We must confess
though. that We have not much idea
that this second theory will prove to
be the correct n We think the Wiz.
mington people will a to seek Pres
ident Barr If they want any more con-
with him. We hope, though.
they do not care for interviews on the
subject of their wrongs with any one

pointment, surely no further effor:

NEW RAILWAY LINE TO NOR.
FOLK.

Richmond. March 1e-The Atlantic
Coast Line is about to carry out the
authority conferred some time ago by
it's directors and extend its Washing
ton branch from Washington to New
Bern"
The above was a special dispatch 10
The Morning Post. Of Raleigh.
There will be some who will pro-
nounce this a bluff by the people who
are seeking to secure control of the
Atlant and North Carolina railroad.
1t may be. We do not know; but i,
you will look at h map OF eastern
North Carolina you will see that it
is very reasonable to uppos that just
such a road should be built by the At
lantic Coast Line. IT'S branch road
from Washington to Halifax on the
Wilmington and Weldon road. q few
miles south of Wilson. crosses the line
OF that system running from Rocky
Mount to Norfolk. The Coast Line
owns a road from Wilmington to New
Bern. By building the shor link be-
tween h latter city and Washington
hat system would have another line
IL OLl lis city " 4NOI1Olk dlu one
passing through some of the most pro-
ductive lands in the state. and a Sec
ton of country which is being rapidly
developed.
This route between Wilmington and
Norfolk would be as short if NOT
shorter than the present one by Rocky
Mount.
II 1t be true that the Coast Line IS
going to build this short link establish
ing another through north and south
line in this section of the state, giving
81 direct outlet to Norfolk from the
largest city or the Atlantic and North
Carolina road what effect will it have
on the latter? If, as President Bryan
says, the Coast Line and the South
ern could bankrupt it in six months
under the present situation what cou.i
they do to it with this new line GRO SIS
ing it? Those who are in avo of the
state holding to this property like
grim death should consider this pro-
position. If the state can lease this
road for a reasonable rental it had
better do SO before other railroad
developments make it even more
worthless than it is now.
