An article from the January 24, 1928 issue of 'The Ruralite' (Sylva, N.C.) entitled 'Bemis Firm to Top Lumber Belt'� indicated that the Bemis Lumber Company, under its subsidiary operation of the Graham County Railway, planned an extension of its rail line in order to develop its timber resources in Graham County, North Carolina. The article commented on the rail line's role in transportation in the county, and reported that '[f]rom Topton to Robbinsville, the Graham County Railway is a common carrier, but from Robbinsville back into the mountains the line is for logging purposes exclusively.'� Topton is a community in Cherokee County, N.C., and Robbinsville is the county seat of Graham County, N.C.
