Charlotte & Rutherford RR} |
| We learn that the receipts of
Cotton by the Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad for the
month of January, 1861, amounted to 1,160 bales, which we think is
doing very well for a road that has only just reached the edge of the
Cotton regions of the South-western portion of the State. As it
advances now, every additional mile will be annually felt in the
business of the road, and in the facilities it will afford the
citizens of Richmond, Anson and other counties. |
| The receipts of other produce
by this road for the same time have been encouraging , and like Cotton
will receive a far more than proportional development for each
additional mile of track to be hereafter laid. |
