Caldwell, of Pineville, reports the {
Tillotson and York killed; the Hale's

thought that the vote in regard to the
coUnty's subscription of 500, 600 to ,
the proposed railroad from GAINESVILLE !
to Oxford, will result in an over !
whelming majority in favor of the ;
project. We learn that the colored :
people are very generally in favor of i;
it, and as they out-vote the whites, and
the measure is popular with hundreds =
of the latter, it may be readily be- ;
lieved that the appropriation viii be
made. If the road is built to Oxford,
it is only question of time as to its :
Carolina Railroad, or to Raleigh. =

lowing Ministers and Laymen have ,
