Charter For Inter-Urban. The building of an inter-urban rail road line In the vicinity of Stokes seems to be practically assured now. A special f rom Raleigh says that a charter was Issued by the eerc tary of State to the North Carolina Traction Company, with two million dollars authorized capital and ten thousand subscribed for the construc tion and operation of an electric rail way system at Danbury, Stokes count and within fifty miles around, includ ing Piedmont, Vade Meetim and pos sibly Moore's Springs. The Incorpo rators are Dr. II. P. McKnight, of Southern Pines r E. Hillman. C. Rupert, and E. h. Kroft, the last two being capitalists of Pennsylvania and Indiana. Dr. McKnight was manager of tr Vade Meeum Springs a: the time the hotels lhtre were burned two years ago. He has been enthusiastic over the building of the proposed inter-urban railway in Stokes for more than twp years and during this time has been working on the proposition, and judging from the announcement that Incorporation papers have been taken out it would seem that success is coming his way. An inter-urban line from Danbury via Piedmont, More's and Vade Me eum to Rural Hall should make a de cided hit within a few years and should prove a paying investment. FARMEff DESERTS WIFE.
