The Question of Securinc the Road Rests Largely Wlli the Property Owners. Right of Ways Will Likely Decide the Loca tion. Messrs. W. W. Flowe, J. W. Can non, V, a. Wagoner, a. 15. founds. G. L. Patterson, M. H. Caldwell and A. F. Hartsell have returned from Norfolk, where they met the officials of the Norfolk Southern for the purpose of presenting Concord s ad vantages with a view of inducing i. c officials to run the line by hve Messrs. A. N. James and A. Y Moose represented Mount Pleasant in the delegation and Messrs. J. S. Efird, A. L. Patterson A. C. Heath and M. I.. Mann represented Albe marle. Mr. C. W. Johnson, of Char lotte, wa also in the party and was an enthusiastic booster for Concord. The committee met with the offi cials and the session lasted several hours. The claims of the people from Concord. Mount Pleasant and Albe marle, (the upper route) were pre sented lully to the officials. The members of the committee ex pressed themselves as highly pleased by the treatment they received and are very much encouraged over the prospects of the road coming by here. However it will take renewed efforts to secure it. , The chief matter will be right of ways. The officials told the committee securing right of ways would be a most important matter. It is understood that what is known as the lowef route gave right of ways free. Upon this question likely rest9 the location of the road. Engineers will be sent here this week to go over the routes. They will be in charge of the committees all along the line. If they are given the proper encouragement the road may be secured. It is a matter that rests largely with the land owners where the proposed route will run. The engineers were highly pleased with the route from Concord to Char lotte via Poplar Tent. The greatest obstacle is the route from here to Albemarle. The lower route is also eight miles shorter. It is now up to the people of Con cord, Mount Pleasant, Albemarle and surrounding country tomake their greatest effort. The final decision on the part of the officials will be govern ed largely by the attitude of the prop erty owners ot this section in grant ing right of. ways. If they are satis factory the road will probably be se cured, otherwise it will likely be lost. TWENTY FIVE PER SONS DROWNED.
