The Road is completed ten miles beyond Lincolnton, and
graded to Shelby; but not enough iron at hand to finish it to the
latter place. On the lower end, it is finished to within 12 1/2
miles of Rockingham in Richmond county; from that point to
Charlotte, part is under contract, and negotiations pending for
letting the balance to contractors. |
