| Salt Coming |
| Dr. J. W. Lewis, late of our
State Road {Western & Atlantic RR}, and now
Superintendent of the East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad, writes to
Atlanta that he is fast rebuilding the burnt bridges, and that "in less
than a week we shall have our arrangements perfected to ship through
from the Virginia Salt Works a large amount of that indispensable
article." |
| The Lynchburg Republican, of
the 21st, announces that merchants of that city are filling heavy orders
for mountain salt at $3.50 per sack. With Dr. Lewis' arrangements
perfected, and salt selling at that price on his road, the prospect is
good for reasonable rates in Georgia. Would not the Legislature do well
to provide against "extortion" in freights by the State Road? |
