NEW RAILROAD PRO.
POSED.

A movement is on foot 20
build a line of railroad from
Lincolnton. n. c., to Radford,
Virginia. with connections TO
the coal fields and the North
west. also to the cotton belt and
Atlantic seaboard.
The charter for the road was
granted as far back as 1870, and
the act was amended 1905, al
lowing township subscriptions,
and in 1903 it was again amend
ed. providing the use OF con
victs. The Governor Of North
Carolina has az reed to furnish
$50 convicts to assist IN build
ing the road. We trust that
this movement will be a sue
cess. and that the road will b,
built.
The opening OF the dhdihd
Canal viii give the roads of the
South all they can do, and thos'
roads that are projected an'
built before the canal is com
pleted, will have a decided ad
vantage. The opening of tn
Panama Canal viii bring trade
/ South that never has come
South before, and we expect t.
see more than one road runnini
into the South Atlantic sea
( board towns from the West an
I Northwest.
