meeting of the citizens Of Rowan County.
N. O.. was held on July s for the purpose OF
promoting the construction Of the Cheraw and
Salisbury Railroad.
The meeting was organized by calling John
l. shaver, Esq, to he chair. John 8. HaAder-
son, Esq. beng appointed secretary. Major
W. M. Kobbins explained the object Of the,
and then introduced the president Of the road
Colonel Townsend. He first gave o history Of
the circumstances under which q oharter for
railroad to the CoalfieId from Chersw had been
obtalned-that after the location of said road
the stockholders of the Cheraw aud DARLINGTON
the Northeastern Railroads, and the Chamber
or Commerce Of Charleston thought said road
would be but of little value for freight. and
that it was all-important to get charter from
Cheraw to Salisbury. and that IN accordance
with this view he succeeded In getting O Char
ter from the Legislatures Of North and South
Carolina. He was satisfied that the road could
be graded and made ready for the cross. ties
and iron for 100000, and that when graded
mortgage could be given on the ro.d for
sum sufficie mt to put it IN running order. He
showed that first MORTGAGES on railroads
the safest Investments for their money.
That the road could and would be built,
Colonel T. thought would not admit OF q
dGub as The road was adread graded for ten
Darlington. and the Northeastern Roads for
$780, With this sum, the road could
be graded to W.desboro', and then only
sixty miles would remain to be built. Ha
showed that when this read was completed,
we would be much nearer VIII nington and
Charleston than by any other route. Colonel
T. demonstrated that this road would be good
stock. for it would carry the freight for the
produce coming over the Western North Caro-
ina Road, and by it's construction the valley
Of the Misslsslppi would find the shortest out
let to the Atlantic coast. He exp AIMED 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 10 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, ana urged our oltizens to act
promptly an6 thus add materially to their own
prosperity. iyR
