NEW RAILROAD ?FOR SOUTH CAROLINA. soni 111>< mi ml Railroad from Wades horo u> Wtiiston-Sairm Completed by Ocftober i?Charleston to in? Outlet. Columbia, Sept. 27.?Word comes from Winston-Salem that the South hound Railroad, which was expected to be completed from Winston-Sa lem to Wadeaboro by October 1, will not be ready for traffic until Decem? ber 1. and it will probably be Christ? mas before trains are operated ovo* the road. The Southbound will extend from Wtnscon-Salem to Wadesboro and will there connect with the Atlantic Coast Line for Florence and Charles? ton. At Winston-Salem the road will connect with the Norfolk and West? ern Railway for Cincinnati and other Northwestern points. The entire dis- 1 tance of the new road is sixty miles. Planned primarily for hauling coal from West Virginia and feedstuffs from the Northwest, the Winston-Sa? lem Southbound Railway will be a splendid line. It is financed jointly by the Atlantic Coast Line and the Norfolk and Western, the latter un? der control of the Pennsylvania sys? tem and no expense or labor has been spared to make their roadbed equal j to supporting any train of freight or passengers. On a direct line from Charleston to the North* west, the Southbound will be come one of the great trunk lines of the United States. Plans are al eredy maturing for operating pass? enger trains; depots are being built along the road, and every little city is taking on new life preparatory to sharing in the prosperity that gen? erally accompanies a new railroad. From Roanoke to Charleston the territory is rich in possibilities. The rich valleys of the Dan and Mayo rivers in North Carolina have hereto? fore not been sufficiently encouraged to make them yield bountiful crops; j the manufacturing Industries of Win? ston-Salem have never had adequate railway facilities, and miles and miles of fine vheat country in Davidson county hav? been far removed from a railroad. The entire section from Virginia to South Carolina has lacked this one essential to a rapid and sub? stantial development. As Charleston will be the terminal much of the commerce of the interior points on the line will be shipped from there to various parts of the world. In se? lecting Charleston as the port, the directors had in mind the nearness of the city to Panama Canal, the depth of the harbor and the strategic ad? vantage Charleston holds as a sea? port. Although the Southbound was launched In August of last year such a road had been under contemplation for several years; In fact, when the Norfolk and Western line was built from Winston-Salem to Roanoke j twenty years ago, it was reported to connect With the South. The work was not undertaken, however, until 1907, and the panic came along and postponed it two more years. It is interesting to note in this con? nection that Col. F. H. Fries of! Winston-Salem. brother to Mr. H. B. Fries, president of the Southbound, was the moving spirit behind the Norfolk and Western. That road was built almost entirely by Winston-Sa? lem capital and the length wras nearly a hundred miles. Mr. H. E. Fries, the head of the Southbound, has never slept on his job, hut has long been at work on the project. The board of trade of his home town will celebrate the completion of the road and he will be shown In a measure the high regard in which he is held by his own people. ROYS' CORN' CLUB.
