the General Assembly, by act of August 8,
| 1868, chapter z, authorized the /" Chatham
| Railroad Company" "to extend their
road to the South Carolina line near Che
raw"
| By an act of August Is, 1863, chapter Il,
the General Assembly undertook, of their
OWE authority, to lend the aid of the State
to the so-called "Chatham Railroad Com
pany," to the amount of $2,OOO,OOO, and
provided for securing the State by "a lien
s. upon all the estate of the road, real or
personal, which they may now have Or
may hereafter acquire between the point
and the South Carolina State line, il.
Guiding that at both points, &C.
The proposed actual ertension of the
road is about twice the length of that
So Chatham Railroad which existed at the
adoption of the Constitution. That rail
road was about fOrty-seven miles in extent !;
this aaew railroad, called the Chatham
Railroad" altogether is about one hundred
and fifty miles long.
It is a mere abuse of words to call the
extended road the I" Chatham Railroad"
and insist, by merely preserving the name,
that it was a road in existence at the
adoption of the Constitution.
With as much reason might person,
VINO, III 1901, nad contracted TO Dulld the
" Chatham Railroad" by that name and
designation. for a specified sum of money
be now held, under his contract, to build
it in its extended length for the same
money.
The present Chatham Railroad is
not the former road of that name and
any logic which could successfully prove
it to be- such, would enable that or any
other road in the State, by ertension sim
ply, to run over the entire State wherever
a railroad should be required, and would
invest the General Assembly "with pow
er to give or lend the credit of the State
in aid " of every foot of nev railroad
which can be established, without submit
ting the subject to tn, people. And thus
the second division OF elis section of the
Constitution would, by little Legislative
legerdemain, be rendered utterly nugatory.

publishing the opinion of that eminent
lawyer, b. F. MOORE, Esq, upon the
legality OF the bonds issued for the benefit
OF the Chatham Railroad, addressed to the
Hon. r. r. BRDGERs, President of the

The Journal has lsbored to show the nm
constitutionality of these bonds, and warned
purchasers of the probability of their non

Columbus, Robson, Richmond Sampson
Duphn and OnsLow:
We, the undersigned, were appointed
committee by the late Agricultural ConVen
ton, held at Wilmington, to issue cal
for an adjourned Convention for the l9tt
of the present month December).
The object of the adjourned Convention
is to draw together IS many of the farm
ers, planters, and those dependent upon
them for business, as possible, for the
purpose of disseminating information, In
terchanging views, and by acting in con-
cert and cooperation, to press forward
the great agricultural interests OF the
Lower Cape Fear country, as we'll as that
of all Eastern Carolina.
No time should be lost in preparing for
the next crop. No opportunity should be
lost in obtaining all the facts that will tend
to develop and improve the culture of our
land. Let US, then, all or as many as pos
sible, meet in Wilmington on the 10Th of
December, and unite in organizing an
Agricultural Association, with the needed
powers and means to collect and dissent
nate as much knowledge upon all branches
of production as it may be possible to
obtain.

with the thousands of acres of waste land
lying along the lines of our railways and
rivers, within a few hours of Wilmington,
the commercial centre, and within twenty
four ga hours of the great markets of the
North-where the untold wealth of our
lands in grapes and other fruits, vegeta-
bles, corn, cotton, peanuts and the like,
find ready sale, and at highly remune-
rative prices-shall we not move in every
good work that promises to develop, to
instruct rs and bring back not only the
prosperity of former years, but thousand
fold greater wealth to our people.
We invite you all to come, and let US
reason together. Several able speakers,
we believe, will be present, and valuable
on various subjects of interest will
be made.
Railroads will give return tickets from
all points, it is understood.

seven laborers until harvest, and expect

very strange-2O 600 bushels grain, and
only seven men to do the labor; but when
looked at his gang plows, pulled by six
