Ongoing Lynchburg rail project praised by Major Otey
The article celebrates Major Otey’s achievement in securing a $15,000 per mile mortgage and arranging a plan to complete a railroad with original county, town, and individual subscriptions. It notes the line will be finished in eighteen months, with rolling stock, depots, and terminals, and promises no lease to another railroad. It also covers appointments and political moves affecting Comptroller nominees and Roanoke press leadership, plus a note on a Savannah death and local editor changes.
