the convenience, quality &c. OF materials.
For this purpose committees should be ap-
pointed to gather the necessary statistics.
Not only that, we should invite the cc.epera-
ton ofthe people on such route as our meet.
ing may determine to espouse, and we
should, in addition to our ordinary repre-.
sentation, send special delegates from allthe
counties on the designated line. This last
named measure will not be necessary until
we know whether the law passes. The
other suggestions ought to be carried out at
any rate. We presume that in the mighty
tide ofimprovement this country will have
some Undertaking for facilitating her travel
to market, whether the money comes from
the Treasury or from the pockets of private
enterprise Such information then as may
be gathered from free discussion and full
examination ofthe subject now, will be of
the utmost service on such future occasion
We are glad to know that every individual
ofthe community, to whom the matter has
been presented, has warmly adopted the
suggestion, and that gentlemen OF expert
ence and ability willie into the measure
with zeal and energy. 10 the Farmer es-
pecialIy, this is matter of great imPor-
tance--it is proposed more than to double
his estate by the operation ofmoney about
to be thrown into our laps...all that is ask.
cd is, that he shall show q reasonable de-
gree of sensibility 10 the subject. We hope.
therefore, that every man, who has an acre
ofland and plough, or wedding hoe, Will
give US his countenance on this occasion.
AS it has now become probable that Con-
gress will pass the bill to distribute the sur
plus revenue among the States, and as our
own State will thus be provided with the
means Of executing important works for the
internal improvement ofthe country,it be-
comes the part ola prudent forecast to urge
the claims ofour community to participa-
ton Of the benefit that may be expected to
accrue from this source.
A Public Meeting will therefore take
place at Salisbury, on the 18th of July next to
consult and agree upon the proper mea.
sures for connecting Salisbury, by means OF
a Rail Rad, with some important market. A
general attendance ofthe citizens is request.

Salisbury, June ls, 1885.
TO light candle at both ends is sure
way to burn it out soon-so, to commence
Il work at two places, each individual direct
ing his efforts towards one centre, is a Ger.
tain method of completion, as certain as in
this case would be its perfect and profitable
condition, proof Of which is to be seen in
the fact, that the Charleston Company, for
s'passage money of troops and ordinary
travellers received $2,316 SO in one day,
exclusive of downward freight and passen-
gers" Therefore, it is with infinite satis-
faction We see the people of Rowan at last
aroused to the necessity Of acting on this
important subject-especially, ifthe wealthy
influential, and intelligent citizens Of Wac.
camaw will unite with them in as active u
course of operations, at the mouth as they
propose at the source of the Yadkin. If
this be the case there is no reason why We
should not eventually see perfect and prof
liable communication between Georgetown,
and Mount Pleasant, at the mouth Of tho
Kenhawa, by both Rail Road and Lock and
dam navigation.
There will be little or no difficulty in eth
er passing up the Banks Of the Kenhawa;
or, in union with some of the works which
Virginia will complete to bring the COM"
merce of the Valley to the harbours of the
Chesapeake. Hence, it will be no great
matter ofpresumption, #, by cooperation
with Virginia, we suppose ourselves landed
in the vicinity Of Rockford, N. c.; and pro-
ceed from thence to Salisbury; and, thence
passing down by Hendersonton, Blakely,.
Wadesboro', Sneedsboro', Chesterfield C.s
Fl. or Cheraw, Darlington aud Kingstree,
arrive safely at Georgetown. At Salisbury
we eventually should cross with the road
from Yorkyile, Charlotte &c.-at Darling
ton with that alluded to in Document IT.,
Sess. ls3+5, page 81, and stated as pass
ing tbro' Barnwell, Sumptervie, Darling
ton, Harleesyille, S. c., Fayetteville, &c. IN
n. G. to Norfolk-so that with connec..
ton of the Yadkin & Pee Dee Rail Road
with those Of Virginia and others that must
be laid down in N. and S. Carolina, thereiss
little doubt it would be as useful and profta.
bic work as any that is to be formed.
Ifa Sage from Charleston should deride'
the idea, because Georgetown is not as ca
pacious harbor as that of Charleston, It IS.
only necessary to observe, that, situated as
is the provision market in the west, render
ed extraordinarily high from the immense
emigration to that quarter, it will be long;
before they have quantity ofprovis;ons to-
spare-also, that if they had, such the su:
pcrior consumption and more prompt and
lucrative market of the dense population. OF
