forward 10 It's extension into North Carolina and !ts n
connexi0n with Central Road GreensborougE,
when will become the great line OF travel between New
York and New Orleans.
WIZ, the present and future prospects of such con-
neXion :
Let us examine them. Our people bordering upon the
Virginia line clamorous for rail road facilities. hey
have been grossly neglected And az The crc2nG meeting
of our Legislature will demand these actits the hands
OF their representatives.
We preferred extension OF the Richmond and DanTe
Raj, Road any other scheme Such interest in it,
procured the passage OF act at our last Le2s.
permitting your road mile Into State
and permitting your Company Depot and other
cessary buildings in the town OF Milton, which
slrenuousy resisted by eastern members
The whole Eastern and Southern part OF our State
hostile extension OF your ROAD and will defeat st all
hazard. But they dread the constant End connaed sgita
ton keep The suoIcc and determined to qce!
us with another road.
This Ia The plan proposet distinguished citizen of
an eastern county, ana an In member OF the Legs-
lature.
II adopted. 1t defeats your Turroses through all time:
They propose charter a the session of Legs
rail road starting from point IL Cnswei
aon and running through The counties o. Person and
Granville, lnlereect with -, Raleigh and Gaston Road at
Henderson. That tho State shall amount Of
this road that she has taken In the Central Road
VIZ thirds. Bat with this condition. that The Stao
snu pledge her fdh in the OF incorporation % reuse
any ard applications for connection b:tucn fhe Ict
n.ond and DanrA Raj Road and tte Central Rui h'eaa
for the future.
Will this plan succeedl Without prompt action your
part Why7 Because the a!ies Of No Carolina,
tce pulsed will make another application 10 connec:
your road and will accept vi this Edstern schene, or
any that affords them reasonable prospect Of getting
their produce market II lei ,sIa realise that
prospect by any other road you bid final a5eu 10 !ho
idea of ever extending your road lnto North Carolina
And then there Is another project, which 10 pressed by
earnest ardent friends among allude TO the cxtcn
sion Of the Roanoke Valley Kali Ruad' from Crksvile.

With these pllns, between which 10 make our cleo
,!on In my humble Judgment the time has for you to
some effort towards extending your road II either is
udupted and this section Of North Carolina accommodated
with Rail Road your chance for penetrating our State Is
iess than nothing.
II you weigh these considerations. NoS Is
tic accepted time" We ask you for dime The
proposed branch cannot be than six miles In length
You have the privilege by charter Vi building ten
miles These miles cannot cost more than SlUOU
The Stale Of Virginia subsciioes three hs $50 OGl We
ubligalc ourselves raise the remaining hiths,
$40 000 In weeks after you sccept proposition.
