The Coal & Coke Railway has been
completed, and 1t is expected that short
ly regular passenger service will be es-
tablished between Elkins aud Charles
ton, w. Va. The road has been in
operation for freight. service for week
or two, since the closing of the link be-
tween Sago and Gassaway, that work
having been completed at Walkersville,
In Lewis county. The distance from
Elkins to Charleston is 180 miles, and
1t is proposed In the future to operate
trains through between Charleston to
Baltim ore in connection with the w est
Virginia Central and the Western
Maryland railroads when the latter's
extension ls completed,
thus giving short route betw cen the
two cities.
Railroad is from E!kins over the tracks
of the West Virginia Central for eight
miles to Mabie, and thence over the
Roaring Creek & Belington Railroad,
which is practically part of the Coal &
Coke Railway, having been owned by
the Davis CollierY Co., to Letter.
where thsrnew construction begins aud
continues to Otter, w. Va, about 100
miles, whence the Charleston, Glen

Messrs. Henry g. Davis, Stephen r.
EIkins aud K. c. Kerens projected this
road more than two years ago to open
up rich mineral territory ip West
Virginia. They Bought the Charles
ton. Clendennin Il Sutton Railroad,
which was merged into the Coal &
g ike. The purchased line had 81 miles
of track In operation from Charleston
to point up the Elk river at Otter.
In 1904 the Coal & Coke built an extern
sion from Otter to Gassaway, % miles.
and at the other end of the line IA miles
was built to Sage, on the BuckhannOn
river. Since then the gap betwet n
SAgo and Gassaway has been closed

the temperance forces are forcing the
traffic out Of the land. while the other
shows that each year there is more
malt and spurious liquors manufac"
drunkenness, unless the prohiDitionist
be manufacture would o o cease un-
less there was a demand"
1t does not follow because there las
been an increase in the quantity or
liquor manufactured and consumed
that there has been Il corresponding
increase in drunkenness, unless the
prohibitionists be right in the claim
that every man who takes a drink OF
alcoholic spirits is more or less drunk.
In point of fact the cause OF temper
ance has made great progress within
the past twenty-five years. The num-
Der of total abstaners may not have
increased as largely as could be desir-
edit but the number OF men who are
able to control their appetites has in
creased enormously. Drunkenness Is

Mr.. NJ. K. King, n Of the popular
high officials of the Norfolk and South

completed a tour of the consolidated

to play a most conspicuous part il

He called at the Daily Economist
office and talked Interestingly relative
to the recent great activity OF the
Norfolk and Southern and the plans
he outlined revealed that the activi-
ty of the road has only fairly begun
In the contemplated extensions many
miles of new road, he stated, Will
have to be built outright to connect
the various cities and towns.
Concerning the plan to bridge the
Albemarle Sound, MI. King spoke
freely. The trestle is being bitterly
opposed by the people Of Edenton and
that section and has been since the
| first plans of it were made known MI
King said before the bridge is bull:
there will be a general conference up
| on the matter at which the people can
be heard and their complaints filed
| He stated that it had always been t1f
policy of the road to build UP instead
of oppose the interest Of the country
through which it runs, and said enl'
phatically that the road would impose
upon no one.
/ The principal objection TO the bridge
yet raised is that it would jeopard!s'
the fishing industry there.
Mr.. Kink said the Norfolk ane
Southern could not afford 10 lnJur'
the fishing industry, because it woui.
thereby injure itself, on account OF Il
fact that the road transports to mar
ket the greater quantity Of the fsl
