The Late Railroad Deal.
The Richmond Whig, referring to
the recent purchase of the East Ten1
nessee system of roads by the
West Point Terminal, says:
"There is little or no doubt that
the negotiations which haye been
pendiag for some time, between the
West Point iermmal mananage-
ment and the owners of the East
Tennessee Railroad, have resulted
in the acquisition of that road and
its system for the Terminal Compa
ny, Sy the purchase of a controlling
interest in the road. Through this
Surchase and the recent victory in
eorgia, by which intimate friendly
relations were established with the
Georgia Central system, the West
Point Terminal people now ' control
one of the vast railroad systems of
the country and several important
lines of steamship?..
It is stated that the West Point
Terminal directors will issue $14,-
OOO.OOO of their stock, of which $10,
000,000 will be given for Richmond
and Danville outstanding stock, and
$4,000,000 for East Tennessee stock.
In addition the East Tennessee
stockholders are to get $4,400,000 in
cash."
'This new. combination will,- of
course,' have an important beanng
upon the interests of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad, which cons
nects at Bristol with the East Ten
nessee, and from" which it gets a
large amount of traffic." Whether
or not it will necessitate the exten
sion of the former road from Bristol
to Chattahoogo, a competing point,
as has been suggested, can only be
known in the future." ' , t

Turner's Ladies' Eating Room,
Mr. J. A. Turner has fitted up the
ladies' room, in the old' Johnston
building and attached to his restau
rant, jn a most handsome manner
the furnishings being of the Mikado
order, and the visitor cannot fail to
be pleased with the arrangement of
the room and the manner m which
the tables are supplied with Turner's
best eatables. Ladies can call there
at any hour and be supplied with
anything to be anorded by the Ashe
ville market.
Shall we have an Opera House ?
The present room used for an
Opera House in this place has been
of good service to Asheville in the
past it has given us a place in
which to witness- the performances
of a number of good companies, and
its management -have done all in
their pqwer to make Ihe house com
fortable and to meet the demands
of the hour with the limited capaci
ties ut their command. But the
growth ol Asheville, and the rail
road facilities which enables lis' to
command tbe appearance of the
best companies on tbe road, have
shown a lamentable want in a suit
able Opera Hall. A number of
places in the heart of the city have
been suggested at different times for
the erection of a building suited to
the purpose but they have been sold
on and are being built up. And
now we know of but one suitable
place on which to erect an Opera
House, and this is the Schartle cor
ner., northeast of court square. This
lot is some 80x216 feet, and drops
down from the west front to such ah
extent as to make it in every respect
suited to tbe making ot an Opera
Mall in the rear, with tin easy as
cent to the seco' A floor from the
west front, adnutting of a splendid
parquette, with galleries and priyate
boxes, and besides is open on every
sid s, there being a street on all four
side ; and some eight or - ten 6tores,
or a market house in the College
street front, with offices over the
west front, could be put in the
building.
Ihis property now be!ong3 to the
Messrs. Rawls Bros., and bv the ex
penditure of from $20,000 to $25,-
000 the.necessaryjbuildings could be
placed on it 1 he whole could be
made to pay a handsome percent
age, independent of the opera room,
on the investment, and we hope the
Messrs. Rawls will . either build on
it to this end, or else form a stock
company the latter we think can
be easily done. Asheville needs and
must have in the near future just
such a house if she desires to ' keep
pace with the march of. improve
ment now being witnessed in othei
growing cities of the South, , -
Hon. S.S. Cox's condition, though
somewhat improved, is still such as

genial and gifted statesman has not
yet reached the sunset of ate. I ues

ports work progressing finelv on his

The Elizabeth City Falcon puts it thus
timely : "The Independents of Eastern
Carolina may take the flattering unction
to their souls (if they have any) that
their coarse is leading directly to the
abolition of the present system of county
government. And a white man in the
east who will tarn his face against his
white brother, tear down the wall of
prosperity that protects the white and
black alike, putting aside all hope of
future material progress, - checking the
blessing we . have worked so hard to
obtain, is worse than the blackest radical
in the land, for he has the manliness to
avow openly and boldly what the poor
dodger of an Independent does not dare."
