Editor News
In 'The News" of two weeks ago, l
saw an article relative to a railroad
from Campbellsville or Greensburg to
Columbia. Now as l am an old ''Rus-
sellite," am greatly interested in the
upbuilding of that and adjoining coun-
ties.
Southern Kentucky has built enough
railroads in the past ten years on paper
to cover the State, and l think it is
time to stop now and go to building on
the ground. Railroad building on paper
is good enough as far as it goes, that is
it is good if you keep talking about it
until some one is interested enough to
build it. Texas is building miles and
miles of railroad every year, both
steam and electric, and l know that
whatever Texas can do Kentucky can
do also. This part of Texas is building
electric lines right along, and there are
not near the inducements here for rail-
road building, that there is there.
The electric line here from Sherman
to Dallas is built alongside the III. &
I. c. Railroad. and is doing a big bus
mess. and shall venture to say that if
this road could be picked up and placed
in Kentucky, in such way as to con-
meet the cities of Somerset, Columbia,
Greensburg or Campbellaville, its bus
mess would be increased 100 per cent,
if not more. 1t paid to build it beside a
steam road that has been running for
years, and it will in Kentucky also. 1t
will not cost but very little more to
build it, either. The main thing is to
keep talking about it to the citizens of
the counties and towns until they are
interested.
Do not under any circumstances, let
it stop at Columbia. Send it on through
Russell, via Russell Springs to Somer-
set. Nothing would please me any
better than to know that an electric
line was being built through my home
county. Keep pushing the good work,
do not let it die, for it has died too
many times already. A few years ago
The Adair County News could almost
hear the din of the electric cars on the
rails, but that was the last of it. Can
this be failure also?
