South Aims to Link Chains of Industry Across Region
The Manufacturers Record notes completion of the Clinchfield extension into Kentucky linking Charleston South Carolina to the high Appalachians and Eastern Kentucky via the Chesapeake and Ohio. The project, costly and sweeping, mirrors antebellum dreams of southern rail and port growth boosting western access. City Point plant work rises with 13,000 laborers across powder facilities and other units. Oats production in the South climbs 36 percent, with total grain output rising toward 353 million bushels. Newport News expands grain and coal exports and ships over 120,000 horses abroad. North Carolina business leaders form a statewide association to spur development and lure outsiders, while a bridge project over the Ohio by Burlington connects major railways at Paducah. The piece also carries local crime note and minor product ads.
