<DIV align=left> The Dumps Creek extension of the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio Railway [<EM>Became N&W's Dumps Creek branch in
1956.</EM>] will be shipping coal over the new rails by March 23. This
statement was made last night by a gentleman who is close to the management of
the road and who should know. At Present the forces at work on the
extension are busy with bridge work. Six miles of grading have been
completed and three miles of track has been laid. This work will connect
the road with the Norfolk and Western at Kiser [<EM>Renamed Carbo somewhere in
1919-1920.</EM>] from which point the Norfolk and Western tracks will be
used as far as St. Paul. From that point south the road will use its
own rails until it reaches Spartanburg.</DIV>
