| A New Railroad Project |
| The last Legislature chartered
a railroad to connect the village of Dallas, in Gaston county, N. C.,
with the town of Yorkville, S. C. The Yorkville Enquirer, speaking of
this work, says: |
| We have received a private
letter from a friend in Dallas, who speaks enthusiastically of the
proposed railroad connection between Yorkville and that place. He says
that it is the object of the Gaston people to extend the road so as to
tap the road from Charlotte to Lincolnton; and perhaps it will soon be
extended to Newton, as the people of that place are anxious to have a
connexion with Dallas. He adds that this road will prove to be the most
lucrative in all this region of country. |
| This letter informs us -- and
we have received the same notice from other sources -- that the people
of Gaston will hold a railroad meeting at Dallas on the 23d; and it is
desired that York be represented there. A cordial invitation to be
present, is extended to any and every person who feels an interest in
this important enterprise. |
