RAILROAD ACTIVITY.
Contemiilated Lines Pointing Towards Brevard and
Lake Toxaway.
From Seneca, Maryville and Johnson Ci!y Rumors of
Extension Are In Circulation.
Obstructing French Broad.
{Fi-oin (Jreenville Daily News.)
“Keporls continue to circulate
ibout the proposed building by
the Southern railway of a branch
line tliat will run from Lake Tox-
away to Walhalla and from there
connect by using ten miles of the
Blue Kidge road with the South
ern's main lineal Seneca. The
Blue Kidge is leased by the
Southern and ]iractically owned
by Southern interests. Surveys
of the line are said to have indi
cated a grade of only one per
cent., and as the distance is only
some twenty-six miles, the work
could be complete in a short time.
“The advantages to the South
ern are obvious. Vast amounts
of money have been spent in
making Lake Toxaway and the
Sapphire country among the
most beautiful and famous re
sorts in the entire country. But
it is inconvenient of access. The
traveler, as things stand, must
go to Spartanburg Junction,
thence to Hendersonville, and
then up the Transylvania road
through Brevard to Toxaway.
With the completion of a branch
from Walhalla to Toxaway, trav-
«*lers could reach the Sapphire
country by a direct route from
the main line rather than by the
present circuitous route,
••But probably the greatest
advantage to Greenville and tho
entire Piedmont section would be
ilie adding of another route to
the Knoxville coal region. A
road from Maryville, in the rich
coal region below Knoxville, to
Dillsboro, is rapidly nearing com
pletion and with the line extend
ing from Dillsboro to Toxaway
by connecting with the projected
branch from Walhalla to Toxa
away, almost a straight lint to
t!ie main line of the Southern at
Seneca would be the result, and
in this way the coal region would
be tajiped by a new and practi
cally direct line.”
(From Asheville Ciazette-Xews.)
Thomas S. Artliur, a promi
nent citizen of Mitchell county,
was in Asheville today and di
vulged some interesting informa
tion relative to the operations of
the South & Western railroad
and the Southern railway in
Mitchell, Yancey and other ad
jacent counties. Mr. Arthur
says that Mitchell county is on a
veritable railroad boom and that
the people of his county are en
joying a season of prosperity
such as was never known before.
He says that the South & West
ern's force of hands between
Spruce Pine and Marion is mak
ing good headway, and that it is
expected th^' objective point will
«e reached \^ithin a period of two
years.
“FromSpi je Pine to Marion,”
said Mr. im V, ‘*is about o5
miles and some idea of the gi
gantic task of constructing a
road in that section may be had
when it is stated tiiat with tiie
completion of the line, thirteen
tunnels will have been built
jind the road stand forth as an
engineering triumph.” Mr. Ar-
; thur siys that the Southei'n rail
way is also actively engaged in
making surveys in Yancey and
Mud.ell.
“The Southern,*’ said he, “is
building a road from Johnson
City. Tenn., toward Marion, a
distance of 75 to 'JO miles, and
has a force of 500 men at work.
This force is now woi'king near
Huntsdale in Yancey county.
I The Southern, I understand, has
purchtised the Buck Lumbei-
j company's logging tramway, run
j ning from Huntsdale U}) Cane
{River a distance of 10 miles, and
^ that the Southern is now com-
I pleting th«3 survey up Cane river
; to Burnsvilh*. The Southern
has two corps of engineers in that
vicinity. One of the corps is sur
veying from Burnsville to Ashe
ville and the other from Burns
ville to Spruce Pine.”
'X
i't
As w’e see it, the building of
these contemplated extensions all
point to betterments for Brevard.
jThe survey nowin pi'ogress be
tween Asheville and Burnsville
points dir-ectly to the connection
of our road with Asheville, and
its extension southward as a
freight line. With the one per
cent grade mentioned by the
j Greenville News would make this
!an ideal freight route, and one
[that is badly needed by the
! Southern to relieve its other
I
lines. Should the road from
Maryville, Tenn,, be built to
Lake Toxaway it might mean an
important manufacturing town
at liosman. Ever^nhing in sight
points to the rapid development
of this mountain section, and if
our people are wise they will en
courage, in every possible way,
the establishment of every manu
facturing enterprise that seeks
admission to this territory. W'e
have w^orldsof timber to work up,
water power to develop, and with
improved railroad facilities novv*
contempl-ated it should be an
easy matter to attract c-apital.

In the Revisal of North Caro
lina laws in lilOr), after adjourn
ment of our last legislature, the
following werc‘ left on our stat
ute books and are n()w in force.
It will be noted that these enact
ments arc ample to protect Tran
sylvania county in the enjoyment
of its natural tish su]>ply if they
are projierly enforced. “From
the state line to Brevard” covers
all obstructions that are now pre
venting the passage of lish, and
we hope that those in authority
will see that these huvs a^’e obey
ed. It is now nearing thi time
when tish migrate up stream in
search of spawning ground, and
the enforcement of these laws are
important to every citizen of this
county:
