FRANKLIN EAGER
 FOR NEW RAILROAD People of Live Towns Are Backing Up North Ala
 bama Railroad
BY WILL w. NELSON

Decatur July 13.-(Special.)- )-Your cor respondent has just returned from trip
 over the counties of Lauderdale, Colbert
 and Franklin. In Franklin county there
 is much talk of a new railroad being built
 from the Mississipp-Alaba bama line to De-
 catur, passing through Russellville, Rock
 wood and other towns of Franklin coun-
 ty. The North Alabama railroad is be-
 hind the enterprise. The people of Rus
 selvile, Darlington, Redwood, Haleys-
 vile and other towns in Franklin and
 Winston counties are very enthusiastic
 over the matter and say that the road
 will be built at an early date without
 question.
 While a number of coal and iron mines and stone quarres have been opened UT
 and are being successfully operated in the counties of Franklin and Winston, still the mineral resources of these coun-
 ties are not at all developed on account of the lack of more railroads.
 The iron mines around Russellville have made a number of people rich. Only a few years ago it was next to impossible to make a living farming the mountain lands of Franklin county. Today some of the richest iron mines are there.
 | The trip included a visit to Redwood, | where ster-Creghton-Gould company operate one of the largest stone quarries ir the south. Both dimension and crushed stone is quarred here in large quantities and many car loads are shipped annual l lv. The stone is a soft limestone which becomes very hard when exposed to the air. Something like 200 men on an aver age are employed in these quarries. The ouarries have been in operation about 20 years, but it has only been few years since the present company bought the property and inxtalled saw mills for cut ting dimension stone and crushers and other machinery. Near Redwood is an iron ore mine. The people Of this com munitv are especially anxious to see the railroad built into Decatur
 This road would open up one of the finest mineral timber and farming sec lions in the state It would be worth an untold sum to the Decaturs and all or this section of the state. It is learned that already some right of way has been secured and partial surveys made
