Railroad Convention i'm Charlotte,
Tuesday, 4th of July.

In response to an invitation some time ago
sent out from this town to those interested in
building Railroad from Jonesboro via Charlotte
| TO Wilmington, a number OF counties both east
and west of us have holden meetings and ap-
pointed delegates. From the interest evinced a
full attendance may be expected Every effort
will be made upon The part of our citizens TO rem.
der the time of those who may favor US with their
presence comfortable and agreeable. Mecklen-
burg has been famed for her whoesouled
hospitality, and this occasion will prove no ex-
ceptIon to it, There are rival projects to this and
now is the time for the friends Of the Road to
show their strength and determination. Already
is Salisbury setting up her claims to be the point
from which the extension should start. We are
willing TO have both Roads built. and for the State
to assis, boIh-but if one or the other must fall
through LET it not be ours.
This is, in our judgment, the most thoroughly
North Carolina Road. 1t penetrates rich agri-
cultural and mineral region; empties the freight
from along the whole Road into a seaport on our
own coast, and runs through section that has
never before asked the aid of the State for its de-
veopment. Salisbury has already enjoyed her
share of State pap, and so has the centre. Not
with our own fourshing town and thriving
county. Unaided by the State we have deveI-
oped our own resources, and are now one of the
most prosperous and growing communities in the
State. Here is terminus Of the Central Road,
end from the end should The extension be made
But really there should be no antagonsm in this
matter Road from Salisbury to Knoxville,
and one from Charlotte to Jonesboro both, ought,
and be built, and made great arteries of wealth
for the State. There is suficen! country cont.
guous support both lines, and the friends of the
one should be the friends Of the other.
