J. M. Turner, 'president of the Pamlico Sound Railroad, denies em phatically that the road has been ac quired by the Atlantic Coast Line system.' That report, which was re cently sent out ' from Washington anijprinted in the News' & Observer, is ' (i'rp, by the Officers 6i the tirely without foundation. This assurance will be pleasant to the people, who desire Raleigh to have another and an easy outlet to the sea. There ,was a feeling that if the Coast Cine had acquired the r.oad, the last had been heard of the terminus at Washington, but that the end would be the long needed Spring Hope connection. The Spring Hope branch will cc..v.o in time, but it is pleasant to be assured that it will not be secured at the loss of the Pamlico Soundroute. o .
