Interesting C. e.. NV. Rumor.
The Lenoir News thinks 1t sees In
the deep orange hue Of the c. & NJ
w. railways depot at Lenoir, KIN
ship or relation between the c. & NJ
w. railway and the Norfolk & West
ern and Pennsylvania railways, and
predicts an extension far into the
mountains as well as development
generally. What the News has to say
follows: 'The deep orange color, which
the new Carolina G. North Western
passenger station, now nearing COM
pletion at this place, Is being painted,
is exciting considerable comment.
Most persons criticise and find rauit
with 1t of course, which Is the usuai
rule In such cases. To US, however,
the new color looks good, because we
think we see visions Of greater Things
for this whole section OF the country
and the color of the new depot Is oniy
a Slight intimation of the interests
looking this way that will help TO
make those visions Of greater things
come true. The color, If we are not
mistaken, is the same as that used oy
the Norfolk & Western and the great
PENNSYLVANIA railway systems In paint
ing their depots and coaches. While
we do not know anything OF the rela-
tions between these big systems, which
are closely allied and the Carolina q
North Western Railway company, II
Is an undeniable statement that the
Norfolk & Western Is the company
building to Todd in Ashe county from
Virginia. Now a little study Of the
map will show that from Todd to
Edgemont is a distance Of less than
fifty miles. The route could follow
the valley of New river to the home
Of Mr.. Winkler, a mile from Boone,
then up Planners fork Of the same
stream, crossing the Lenoir and Blow
ing Rock turnpike few miles north
of Blowing Rock, thence through
to Edgemont, all Of which is compare
lively easy mountain railway con-
struction. This would open a new dis
trict from the coal fields of Virginia
to the cotton manufacturing districts
of the south and to South Atlantic
ports. The Norfolk & Western Is q
coal road and the demand for coal by
the more than 100 cotton mills and
other industries along the line Of the
Carolina & Northwestern railway
would afford an enlarged market to 1t,
to say nothing Of the other territory
supplied and the prospective business
through the Panama canal. The Idea
of solid coal trains operated through
Lenoir over the line as indicated, may
be purely visionary and the orange red
depot may not indicate anything more
than the color adopted by the boss
man. as one of the railroad men said,
vet we would not be surprised to see
the vision a reality within a few
years"
