| The "Danville Connection" |
| The Convention of North Carolina has
granted a Charter to the Piedmont Railroad Company, for what is
commonly known as the "Danville Connection" -- provides for
the building of a road from some point on the North Carolina Railroad
to Danville, Va. this project has been uniformly opposed in the
Legislature, by nearly all the Eastern members, and by some of the
Western. It is adopted now by the convention, as a military necessity.
the time may be near at hand when we shall greatly feel the need of
it. Indeed, it would have been of great service during the past year,
and we only fear that it is too late for present purposes to undertake
to build it. |
