tending into Pamlico Sound 1.2(H)
feet. Plans showing the proposed
work may be seen at the Corps of
Engineers office in Wilmington

The Rev. R. II. Jackson, pastor
of the Free Will Baptist Church,

' Washingtpn (AP) ? XjJfe Southern Railway System pre-"
diets extensive industrial expansion in the coastal plains
of North Carolina if it gets federal authority to acquire two
small railroads in the area.
In an application now before the Interstate Commerce
Commission (ICC) the 'railway seeks permission to take
over Ihp Cumn B.illrna<l ? 1 ' ' 1 ?
Co. and the Atlantic 6c Ka^t Caro
lina Railway Co.
The 35-mile l^ejeune line extends
from iiavelock, where it connects
with the Atlantic and East Caro
lina, through the industrial area of
Camp Lejeunc, to a connection with
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Co. near Jacksonville.
The 96 mile Atlantic St East Car
olina line extends from a connec
tion with the Southern at Golds
boro through Havelock, where it
connects with the Marine Corp*
railroad to Morehead City.
No Date Yet
No date has been set for a hear
ing on the Southern application.
Southern proposes to pay $525,000
for the outstanding stock of the At
lantic & East Carolina and says it
would spend $1,877,000 improving
the line.
The Lejeune Railroad Co., only
recently organized, is not yet an
operating firm. It seeks authority
to issue 1,000 shares of capital
stock without par value. The en
tire issue would be sold to South
ern for $25 a share.
Passenger Schedule
Southern would schedule a pas
senger train operating one round
trip a day between Camp Lejeune
and Goldsboro via Havelock and
this would connect with north
bound and southbound J service at
Goldsboro. The line also would
carry large amounts of freight.
Southern says, to and from the
main air station at nearby Cherry
Point.
The Lejeune line would provide
a direct service between Camp Le
jeune and the port of Morehead
City and the Southern says the
combinations of its proposed trans
actions would prove to be the most
important single factor in the de
velopment of the port.
Port Figures In
"While the territory between
Goldsboro and New Bern contains
the greatest immediate industrial
potential, the development of More
head City as a deep water port is
extremely important from a long
range standpoint," Southern spates.
"Nbe brief says North Carolina
hps fcpent about three million dol
lars on port facilities there and
plans to spend more.
Then it goes on to discuss the
economic potential of the entire
area:
"Although the territory served
by Atlantic & East Carolina has
many attractive features from the
standpoint of industrial develop
ment. no major industry has lo
cated along the line.
"Southern believes this to be pri
marily due to the reluctance of
large industries to locate plants on
the lines of small independent
