Winston-Salem, February 4th, 15*16: “Sonic Comparisons “Winston-Salem is supplying one- fourth of ail the ch»*wing and -smok ing tobacco consumed in the United "States, besides exporting vast quan tities to foreign lands. This state ment is taken from the Report of the Commissioner of Internal Rev enue for the first quarter of the present fiscal year and -from private ahvices from Washington, as to the second^quarter wJiieh ended Decem ber 31st, last, “Your city is making one-seventh of ail tobacco products—chewing and Smoking tobacco, cigars, cigar ettes and snuff manufactured in the 'United State*.

Since September, it has taken only a fraction over seven average days collections here to equal its cost.. So far this week, Mr. Crawford has taken in $206.- 428.50. I predict that before 1916 shall have ended your average week ly payments to the government on toacco will more than pay for this magnificent building,, leaving the collections for the other fifty-one weeks as clear profit to the govern ment. “Tobacco Shipments. “Winston-Salem Ut shipping on an average eaeh week day to all parts of this country* and to foreigjj^ahds at least $15.0,00jl of tobacco pro ducts. , “In eoncltision.

This road Is receiving considerable agitation at this tim\ and :« lb the belief in many Circles that it will be bunt. If this road is built it will mean a saving for th< through trains of the Atlantic Co •'.st Line of approximately 35 miles, and would be a very economical road to construct. It would be practically free from all 1 grades, and would open up a very fertile anl rki section of the country. ’ . .‘ - *. • The Charleston Evening Post states that “local officials of the Atlanj^c Coast line railroad are no admitting that rufhored plans of the road to build a short cut from St. Stephens to Yemassee. are ‘not* ql! talk,’ but there is evidence in official quarters to indicate that the construction of the shprt cut may l>- begun In the very near futu?e.’’ ’ . •. , The Waiterboro Chamber of Commerce is keeping in close touch with the situation and shall at th- proper,time render all assistance to the railroad authorities in the building of the proposed road.
