To Survey For .New Road.
Wilmington, .Special. It is learned
here from a very authentic source
that the Atlantic Coast Line direc
tors at their meeting in New York
recently authorized the survey for
a new' line of railway from Harts
ville, S. C, via McBee, S. C, to
Monroe and thence to Charlotte, also
another survey from Wadesboro to
Monroe. It is" believed that these tire
preliminaries of important railroad
developments expected to take place
in the two States within the near
future. ":-
The Cpast Line? and Norfolk ft
Western are now bnilding the South
bound from Winston to Wadesboro,
a connection of tbe. Atlantic Coast
Line, and the surveys now authorized
are regarded quite significant in the
same connection. ?
