PRICE FIVE CENTS Double the Number of Paid Subscribers of any Other Newspaper f iMinimm.iMi im mil Believed Seaboard Will Push Into Territory of Norfolk Southern and Coast Line ACTION IS EXPECTED Not Thought Likely That Const Line Will Allow Seaboard to Knter Its Territory Without Retaliating Raleigh Objective I'oint of Coast Line and (ioldshoro of Sealionrd I 'il ly Hands at Work on Al ia alio & Western. That I lie Seaboard ' Air. Line .in tends to cut across Into territory oc cupied by the Atlantic Coast Line and the Norfolk Southern 'is infcried from the fact that a force is at work on the extension of the Atlantic H Western, believed to be coit'ollcd by the Seaboard, from nroad-vay to Lillington, a distance of 18 miles. Fifty hands, a steam shovel and a ..number-of mules were set to work this week. Nine miles of this road, from Sanford to Iiroadway, is al ready in operation and the comple tion of the other 18 miles will en able the Seaboard to enter Norfolk Southern territory. Those who arc conversant with the railroad fiiua Hon think they see in this extension a plan' whereby the Seaboard will eventually land in (loldsboro. The only thing that is keeping the Atlantic Coast Line from entering Raleigh, according to a well posted speaker at the recent railroad cele bration In Raletghy is the require ment that all roads entering the city must fetch UP at the union st ition. The Atlantic Coast Line is no'V with in fifty miles of Raleigh and is ready it is believed, to come here provided It is not compelled to buy -exorbitant riglitR of way Into the union .depot. That he people of Raleigh want thin great line there is no doubt, and it is possible something will be done to overcome the one serious ob stacle. With the Seaboard threatening the Atlantic Coast Line's territory the desire to enter Haleigh and compete here for business has been strength ened. The Coast Line 'already ex tends to Spring Mope and but little inonev and time, comparatively speaking, would be required to place- its tracks in this city. Should It be granted the privilege of hitting the town instead of spirting it, the probabilities are all in favor of the road's coming here. It is understood that work on the Atlantic & Western, from San Ion! to Llllington, will be pushed with vigor. Should the Seaboard so desire it could push on to Uoldsboro and, by connecting with tht Norfolk Southern, have almost a .-.'straight line from there to Charlotte. The knowledge of this fact leads railroad men to believe that the next few years Will witness some Interesting railroad development lu this section of the state. .lap n Member of (lton Kxcimna .
