Asheville Wants Four More Railroads--It is Crowded With Visitors Now.
[Special to the STATE CHRONICLE.]
It is proposed now to build four more railroads into Asheville from four different directions in Buncombe county; and let them take their chances for connection at the extremities of the county.
The conception is a grand one, and as the real estate rises so rapidly, the planters, merchants and real estate agents can almost build it themselves.
Every place of entertainment in Asheville is now overrun with winter visitors from every point of the compass. Surely, Buncombe will become--being adapted to winter or summer resort--a great rally point for taste, intelligence and capital.
