railroad in North Carolina. This road
which is to be built by the Southern
Railway, will extend from Asheville
OH the west side of the French Broad

prediction. 1t is known that the
road is to be constructed at an early

ment can be obtained. the statement
is made, on reliable authority, that
a big manufacturing center is to be
located at the terminus of the road,
which will give connection with Ashe-
