is evident from lhc article in the Wing, that the
editors ,lu moi fully understand the position OF the
question a. discussed either by the Patriot or the
Recorder, and hence they have themselves eyre
giously erred. A brief explanation. therefore,
mas enable the editors to see the question in a
different light. AMI canstrain them 10 admit the
force cf The views presented in the Recorder.
It was understood that the Directors were in
clined to locale the Principal Workshops at a
Genital point on The Road, literally in the
woods, so thu, by the expression, Ill the
woods the Pli.io, JiJ not refer 10 the town Of

was in view OF this lpcs that the discussion arose.
The Patriot and the Recorder agreed in this, that
the Shops should be located in or near town, il
il could he done without sacrifice Of the int,
rests Of the Roai but whether Greensboruugh
Graham, or Hil.sorough should he the place SC.

for granted tia, Workshops would he erected al
Goldsboroush, rs is apparent by our making
Gol,lshorougi the starting point in our appor'

as certain that Workshops would lie established
at Salisbury. for the convenience Of the Roat
which j, is contemplated to extend west Iron
that point. The only question We we're debit
ing was. whether the intermediate station for tht
Workshops should be al Greensborough, or Ora

borough, as more equally dividing the distances
She editors OF The Wing will therefore see tina
our plan necessarily contemplated Workshops t.
be placed at three points on the Road, instead o
t,0o, as they infer. Starting from this crroneou
conclusion, the editors Of the Wing, after copy
