Special to The Chronicle. BROADWAY, March 3. Doubtless no town in the State does the busi ness that Broadway does, according to its population. The village is lo cated at theterminus of the Atlantic & Western Railway in Lee county.alO miles south east of the thriving town of Sanford. The town was incorporated in 1905. About 200 people line within the cor porate limits of the village. Six gen eral stores, one drug store and two planning mills constitute the busi ness part of the place. The Boadway Normal is located here, being founded by Prof. M. A. McLeod in 1896, Prof. McLeod has done much for the cause of education in the community, as well as the county at large. He stills remains at the head of the school. The school, including two or three dwellings, constituted the village until 1905 when a rail road was built from Sanford to this point. Since that time the village has been growing. Two churches have been built in addition to the dwellings. A land sale was recently conducted here by Penny Bros., of Greensboro, and since that time the village has been on a continued boom. Several new residences and stores are being built at present. Broadway is a good cotton market. One firm handled over $1,700 worth of cotton here in one month last fall. This firm handles about two-thirds of the cotton. A bank was organized here last September, and since that time the business men have been able to con duct their business on a more economical basis than before, owing to the distance to the nearest bank. The " bank is doing well under the management of Mr. D. E. Shaw, who ia cashier. The future looks bright for Broad way considering her school , the church, the good farming section which surrounds it and other per manent things. " .
