Messrs WHS Vsrmhel si lows*, hast Saturday Mr. 8. J. Clinton of Bowling Green, S.

Thera U talk (u Oalelgb and la the newspaper* «f a new railroad poaaibil lty which will give the Southern rail way a wuub shorter and stralghter rout* than It now kaa from Beider I lie to Oaatonla. So far, tbla la only talk, but if the aobemo aa laid out promises proflt either to Ineraaaad traffic or qulok or schedule*, the building of the road appeari to be reduced to a mere matter of lira*. Bat a glanm at U* map will abow that quicker tolled alee will cer tainly lie glean by tba new rout*, and tbat Ui* section of country traversed, ooe of tba rlebed the In State, bids fair to tarnish abundant traffic. Col. F. A. Old*, of Raleigh, under data of June 5, taode the Wilmington Jfrucnper of tb* 6lh the foHowiog: " A mrvey of a preliminary cbarac ter begin* next week for a railway be tween Mooreerllle and MoeksviUe. It it to be made by an engineer with a view to ascertaining the moat drelra blo route. In fact tb* bed route 1* pretty well known now. The distance 1* thirty-one mile*. A regular aurvey *111 ba pretty cure t* quickly follow. Pbe rente wbloh the building of tbla link would make la a little longer than the regular Greensboro-Char lour root* of the Sootbern, but If tbe Southern build* from Walkartown to Rotdavlll* and leaves out Greaaaboro, and build* from Oaatonla to MooteevlUe It will get a much atraighler line and lave a good many miles, A glanoe at a map will quickly chow what a line for freight or passenger traffic can thus be eecnred.” Now look at yoor map. With Walkertown In Forsyth and Mooraa vllle In Iredell eonnetited. hut two abort links remain to complete a new route between Betdavllle and Gaatonta. From Walkertown to KaMavUI* a link of scarcely 30 miles Is needed, and an other link of S3 Dili** would probably cover the distance between Moortt ville and Gastonia. With thl* entire line completed, consider, with the map before yon. the advantage* tb* Southern would gain in a draigbter road and faster schedules. But of more Importance than these are th* benefits which would accrue to our town and oouoty. Tbla railroad, tap ping a new section of country, would not only bring to Gastonia new trade, bat now sorts of trade, and would add greatly to bar Importance a* a com mercial centre. Beside* affording easier acoeas to the grain, stock, fruit* and vegetables of tbl* more or less moontainoo* country, tb* proposed road by giving ns Winston a* a market might, under fair prices, develop a ntw Industry, that of tobacco-growing, among oar farmer*. Let (be new railroad corae on, and let'll also be carefal to do nothing cal culated to scare It away. C«kr Orswlai la a Hrtsaora. On the old Kphrelm Torrance place abont four miles from Gastonia is a cedar growing 23 feet from the groond In the forks of s sycamore tree. Mr. Clip Torrence says the syoamore, now 3) feet through, grew from a haod epike which wai Jobbed into Hie ground by bis father long years ago. Twenty-five feet from tbe ground the sycamore forks sud from a loot-hold io the fork a codar tree has been grow ing for twelve or fifteen years. Mr. Henderson Long who Informed us uf Ibis unusual eombinattaD says he has known of it himself for 10 years.

Last month the Southern Railway lent a special agent to Gastonia to In vestigate and report concerning the amount of freight handled hero during tho month of April. It Is luppsed that vbe company may hare purpoard to learn whether tbe depot foroe here could with safety be rodeoed. It has not been reduced any so far, and If a change lakes place It Is uot unlikely that It will be no Increase rather than a reduction of tbe foroe. The visiting official cast op April’s freight hand lings until be reached 4.000.000 pounds and stopped. These are tbe figures for tbe Southern alone. No estimate or iovusllgatlon of the Nar row Gauge'a handlings was made. n»uimm auunmu. Cuttlug and polishing marble la an interesting process.
