| Bridges Burnt |
| Two bridges on the N. C. Railroad have been burnt
recently just beyond Lexington. The first one was burnt week before
last, and the other (over Abbot's Creek) in the early part of last week.
It was evidently the work of yankee emissaries or tories. It is strange
that the Railroad Company does not have a sufficient guard to watch
their bridges and prevent these incendiary acts. It is important that
transportation facilities should be kept unimparied just at this time,
and Railroad officials are guilty of gross negligence in not having
bridges properly guarded. |
