THE CHERAW AND SALISBURY
RAILROAD.
North Carolina Moving.

Ameeting Of the citizens Of Rowan County,
N. c., was held on July for the purpose OF
promoting the construction Of the Cheraw and
Salisbury Railroad.
The meeting was organized by calling John
]. shaver, Esq, to he chair. John b. Hender-
son, ESQ.,, being appointed secretary. Major
". NJ. Robbins explained the OBJECT OF the
meeting in brief and appropriate language,
and then introduced the president OF the road,
Colonel Townsend. He first gave HISTORY Of
the circumstances under which onarter Tor q
railroad to the Coalfeld from Cheraw had been
obtalned-that after the location Of said road,
the stockholders of the Cheraw aud Darlington,
the Northeastern Railroads. and the Chamber
of Commerce Of Charleslo on thought said road
would be but Of little value for freight. aud
that it was all-important to get charter from
Cheraw to Salisbury. aud that IN accordance
with this view be succeeded IN getting char
ter from the Legislatures Of North aud South
Carolina He was satisfied that the road could
be graded and made ready for the cross. ties
and iron for $500. 900, and that when graded
mortgage could be given o. the 1o.d for a
sum sufficie mt to put 1t In running order. BE
showed that first mortgages on railroads
we're largely sought after by capitalists as
the safest investments for their money.
That the road could and would be built,
Colonel T. thought would not admit Of a
doubt. The road was already graded for ten
miles, and had the bonds OF the Cherav aud
Darlington and the Northeastern Roads foI
$780, 900 With this sum, the road could
be graded to Wadesboro', and then ooly
sixty miles would remain to be built: He
showed that when this read was completed,
we would be much nearer WILMINGTON and
Charleston than by any other route. Colonel
T. demonstrated that this road would be good
stock, for 1t would carry the freight Tor the
produce coming over the Western North Caro-
iina Road, and by it's construction the valley
of the Mississippi would find the shortest out
let to the Atlantic coast. He exp.alned that
under the provisions OF the charter .persons
could subscribe land to the road and receive
the value thereof in stock, and could take con-
tracts to be paid IN labor. He showed what
railroads had done for other places. and could
see no reason why Salisbury would not like
wise be greatly benefited By the construction
OF this road AMI uIeed our citizens to act
promptly and thus add materially to their own
prosperity.
At the conclusion of this address, Colonel T.
announced the following as the Commissioners
to obtain subscrlprlons for the Cheraw and
Salisbury Railroad in Rowan county. VIZ: John
I. Shaver. A. J. Mock. J. ". Hall, ". II. Craw-
ford and Thomas B. Long.
Brief an appropriate addresses were then
made by aIr. Lafayette Green, OF Stanley, Mr..
Dixon Iugram, OF Arson. Colonel W. +. Hen
derson aud Major Robbins.
Color el Townsend stated that it was neces-
sary for Rowap to raise $500 at once IN order
to put the engineers immediately to work.
About half the amount was raised IN the spot,
which shows work begun.
