VILE CUTOFF.

Having secured authority last week
from the state Corporation Commits
sion. the Norfolk and Western Rail-

Pampiin- Burkevillc CUTOFF around
Faymyille sometime this spring. The
estimated cost of the work il $4,000
coo. and through it a number Of men
will find employment.
The cutoff. when completed, win
mean that practically the entire main
line Of the Norfolk and Western Will
be double track. II will leave only
fourteen miles between Roanoke and
Norfolk, this being between Ford and
Jack, and four miles of this is expect
ed to be under contract in a short
time,
The Pampiin- Burkeville cutoff will
be a single track. similar to the For
est Concord line around Lynchburg
and a similar cutoff around Peters,
burg. These are intended for east
bound freight traffic. and all Of them
eliminate heavy grades for eastbound
trains, though the regular passenger
service is maintained over the present
lines. as will be the case with the one
now projected.
! The new line will be about fifteen
miles south of Farmvilie, and 1t will
parallel the tracks OF the Southern
and virginians Railways for quite n
distance.
The repor. that the new cutoff Is
to tie a. dodbie-traek isne seems to be

made since the opening of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank system last Mo-
vember, and is one OF the two. re-
uuired each year under the provisions
of the act creating the regional banks.
The visit Of the auditors follows the

of the Reserve Board, who were here
last week, and who expressed them
selves az pleased with the conduct
of the Richmond bank and the work
being done here under the direction
Of Governor Seay and Reserve Agent

had visited the shop run by Lozon.
and that he had offered them indigni-
ties. They had been afraid to talk
because of fear that they might be
punished. but parents who learned OF
the two alleged crimes Monday night
