OR KNOW WHY sfLL THE LOCAL NEWS WANT A. C. L.

(BY LLEWXAM) Raleigh, Oct. 7.--Several time In th e more or iea miijr , - hat' made effort to get in connection with the Atlantic Coait Line system. Another effort along the tame line has just been started here, through the initiative of the director of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce. Tarboro and Rocky Mount are par ticularly interested in the plans now getting under way, as the connection sought would open up the eastern and northeastern counties of the state to Raleigh greatly shortening the sche dule to Rocky Mount and Tarboro. One of the Chamber of Commerce directors talking with The Souther ner correspondent today said that the plan is to devise a way by which the tracks of the Montgomery Lumber fiomoanv could be used. The main line of the Montgomery Lumber Co railroad now extends from Spring Hope, the eastern terminus of that road, to within twenty miles of Ral eigh, the western terminus being only three miles of .the village of Roles ville, Wake county. The A. C. L., which connects with the lumber company's road at Spring Hope, is now operating trains over the tracks of that road as far as Bunn, and the idea is that the exten sion on to Raleigh is the thing to do. A committee is to be appointed to confer with the officials of the Atlan tic Coast Line and of the Montgom ery Lumber Co., with the latter a definite plan fory9Afntjthefi nancial program will be submitted soon. But just how far these nego tiations will get, it is impossible to state at present. It is the fact, how ever, that there are some hopeful parties connected with the renewed efforts now under way, and more defi nite particulars may be available soon.
