The m0tion did not prevail.
Mr.. Galloway said he thought the Will
mington and Weldon road would be seri-
ously damaged by the passage of this bill.
He was in favor of internal Improvements,
but that he feared this permission to con-
struct this road through this State would in
crease the burden of the people. He dill
not wish to increase the taxes of the people
but to eGlighten them by every conceiv-
able means. He hoped the bill would
be postponed, that senators might have
more time to examine it. He was for North
Carolina first, and then South Carolina, Vir-
ginia and Georgia. With the light before
him he would be compelled to vote against
the bill
Mr.. Brogden opposed the passage of the
bill on the ground that the railroads al
ready in operation in the State would be
damaged by allowing this road to run
through this State.
that he should have more time to consider
the bill before he could vote for it. Not that
he was opposed to internal improvements,
but that he was of the opinion that the
interests of the State would suffer if we
allow this road to be built through the
State. He was for doing all that he could
to build up the State, but he could not vote
for measure that would build up and de-
velope other States, and damage the various
railroads in North Carolina. He hoped the
bill would be postponed that there could be
time for consideration.
vocated by Messrs. Lassiter, Osborne, Welker,
Burns, Cook and Robbins. They all took
| the ground that the completion of the road
would materially benefit this State That its
would bring Il large amount of passengers
and freight into the State, thereby increas-
ing the wealth of the State. That none of
the railroads already built would be dam
aged by allowing the road to run through
the State. but that every interest would
thrive with the completion of the road.

following vote:
