BEMOVAJ. OF THE RAILROAD
v ;.t ,t . OFFICES. - ; - ; ... r
T ,6ur citizens! were sorry to ' learu
that the train dispatcher's office,
Mr, 0. Y. Cheatham in charge, and
the superintendent's office, Mr V.
E-McBee in charge, have been or
dered to, be moved from this place
to Asheville. Mr. Cheatbau has
already, jgQneand'Ir, McBee . will
go ,bput ,the first ; of the. coming
yearlj fwa ialso' rumored that
both Auditor and Treasurer were
soon to follow, .but Mr. McBee says ;
thesd ' are , tflr- remain ; here. This
change itf tniiSe 'necessary for sev
eral reasons. New relations hare!
been established betweon the Veg-
tern road and' the Spartanburg and ;
Asheville, and'a'ko with the Chester
and" ILenoip narrow 'guage line.;
Tbe'sB new telations require that the!
company's offices go to a more cen-'
trai and convenient location; hence
the order. ; Oa all' sides one hears
regrets, but under the circumstances '
th siep- is-ra, necess Ary ofcs andhow
esver much : our people may ; regret
it, they recogniae the wisdomv of the
movement and are convinced that
th D best interests ofihejrbad demands
the change.", ." ; '
. .We take the airove from the Sal
isbury WcUhman, and" reproduce it
to di justice to 'Uie manly and gen
eroud spirit of our esteemed contem
porary. Salisbury, eyer since the
construction f the Western North
Carolina Railroad- has. been the
headquarters of.'ihe Company, the
residence of the offices and their
families,'the seat of the wtrk Bhops;
a point in fact , that combined all
the advantages of a terminus and a
tpiaH centre. It has . been the im
portant point on the line; to yield
up its pre-eminence and to see the
seat of power transferred to the po
sition of another demands ah unus
ual degree ot philosophy and gen
erosity a"s canded recognition of
facts. Our friend of the Watchman
proves himself equal to the emer
gency, -ind admits the wisdom and
necessity of a change, t There is no
hint of injustice, .No suggestion of
rivalry; but a prompt submission
to the logic offsets.
It has in fact become necessary
that headquarters should be trans
ferred to a more central point.
Asheville has become the converg
ing point of the main stem from
Salisbury of the Ducktown branch,
of the Murphy division, and now of
Asheville and Spartanburg road,
all under the same management;
and the incon venience of controlling
the interests of the whole from the
remote terminus of one branch be
came daily more manifest. The
change became almost compulsory :
and we are glad to see that the ne
cessity of it it is so readily admitted
without the shadow of captions op
position. With this change there will come
more in the future. '

sue of yesterday, the visit to ' this

were anxious to know everything

their inquiries were largely directed
to tobacco and grape culture, rroi.
Tiernan . and others, accompanied
them to' the wnrehouses and other
places of business. They express
themselves as much pleased with
