Rail from Clinton to Warsaw

Mr.. A. Wilkins, the gentleman who,
some time since, endeavored, unsuc-
cessfully, to start water works COM
pany in this city, has written to the
editor of the Clinton Exporter propos-
ing the organization of a company for
building a wooden railroad from Clin-
ton to Warsaw, and a meeting has been
called to take place in the former town
on the 18th inst, for the purpose of
considering the matter. AS the citi-
Zens of Wilmington are themselves
deeply interested in any scheme which
will connect US with Sampson county
by rail. we make no apology for pub
fishing here Mr.. Wilkins letter as we
find it in the Reporter:
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 80, 1874.
Editor Of Reporter, Clinton, Sampson
County, y. c.:
DEAR SIR: Having seen an extrac:
from your paper in the Wilmington
JOURNAL, from which / learn your peo-
pie want a branch railroad from Clin
| ton to Warsaw, 1 beg leave to ask If
your citizens would be satisfied with a
wooden railroad until such time as the
| business would justify an iron rail to
| be laid 1? and would the stockholders
of the plank road be willing to sci.
their road to railroad company and
take pay in stock of the railroad COM
pany?
These wooden railways are being in
/ troduced in many parts of the country
as branches and feeders is the regular
lines of railway, and are found to pay
where a more expensive structure
would be impracticable, and yet have
subserved the public convenience in
every respect as well as an iron rail
way.
If this idea should meet the favor of
your people, l think company could
be found to undertake the construction
of such q railway, if local subscriptions
along the line could be had to the ex-
tent of S25, 900 or $50, ZOO, the contrac-
tors taking stock and bonds for all the
road equipments would cost more than
the sums named. Now can not 15I
men be secured to subscribe $500 eack

SOUTHERN AFFAIRS AND THE ELECTIONS.
Contary to the opinion which was
expressed by Radical politicians here
at the time of the uprising against
Kellogg, advices received here from
all quarters of the North and West
are to the effect that it has had no un-
toward effect upon Conservative pros
is learned, however, that the stories
of Southern outrages which have been
SO industriously disseminated by the
Attorney-General and the carpet-bag
Congressman have not been without
some effect, and, in consequence
thereof, the chances of Democratic
success in some of the doubtful Con-
gressional districts are not SO promis-
ing as they were. Apropos of this
"Southern outrages" business, it is
understood that it is in contemplation
by members of both the Senate and
the House to offer resolutions of in
quiry on the meeting of Congress to
ascertain under what authority of law
the military forces of the United States
are made subject to the orders of the
Acknowledgement without the inter-
vention of the War Department.
No doubt at all is now entertained
here that the Chattanooga Convention,
which is called to meet on the 18th of
this month, has as its sole object the
furtherance of the selfish and unprin-
cipled designs of the very class of men
to whom SC many of the Southern
States owe this day their disorganized
and unhappy condition. It cannot as
yet be ascertained that there will be a
bakers dozen at the Convention OF
men who can in any propersense claim
to represent anything that is good in
the South. 1t has already been said
that "Senator" Patterson, who "pul
through the South Carolina Republi
| can Convention an endorsement o1
General Grant for a third term, vii
be on hand at this Convention with q
| similar endorsement" Mr.. Patter
son, it is said, claims that he will be
as successful at Chattanooga as al
| Charleston. If so, this and long

other points, although there is better
evidence than any of them can furnish
that quantities of arms which Lave
been purchased in the last few months
on Southern account were to the order
of Radical emissaries and destined tc

been expressed here to-day on the pro
ject is of favorable character.

AN OLD GAASSMATE.

We find in the Memphis Appeal the
following notice OF an old friend
and classmate at the University of
North Carolina, who has been nomlna-
ted for the Legislature in Tennessee.
While it will be mostgratifyiDg to Col.
Galloway's numerous friends in this
State. to know that he is so highly ap-
preciated in the home of his adoption,
we can assure those people that no
truer or more trustworthy man lives,
aor one in whom they can more safely
confde their interests. In every posi-
ton in life, as boy and man, he has
proved himself worthy of the conf
dence Of his fellow citizens. His sue
cess in his present canvass will be as
pleasant to us as it will be beneficial
to his constituents.
The -AppCal says
OUR NOMINEE FOR FLOATRE
We understand that Colonel John NJ.
Galloway, the candidate for Floater in
the counties of Shelby and Fayette,
will make an active and vigorous can
vass. He has been absent from the
! It tte for some time, and his nOmlna-
/ ton was secured without any effort on
! lis part. which is a high compliment
| to INN personally. Colonel Galloway is
| a citizen of Fayette, andas he IS anun-
| obtrusiyc. retiring gentleman, he IS
Lot generally known III Shelby. Being
a stranger to them, it is proper to say
| that he was born III Rockingham coun-
! North Carolina; graduated at Chap
cl Hill IN 1884 with distinguished hon
ors: read law with Chief Justice Pear
son, OF North Carolina, and commenced
the practice of law at the beginning OF
| the war He was among the first tC
volunteer when the war commenced
! enlisted as a private, and was rapidly
promoted, until he was made Lieu
tenant Colonel. At the close of the
war Colonel Galloway removed te
West Tennessee, and located on the
4 Memphis and Louisville Railroad, IL
Fayette county, where he engaged II
an extensive lumber business. Gallo
wav's Station derives its name iron
bis place of business. Colone! Gallo
way has been q successful business
man. and commands the respect of th'
community, as was evidenced by th'
efforts Of the Fayette delegation to Sc
cure his nomination. Colonel Gallo
way is gentleman of fine practica
sense. He is an earnest, etfectlv
speaker, reasons closely and logically
while his language is terse and to tn
point. His name is the synonym OF ID
tegrity and lofty patriotism-a man
? rare attainments and universal popu
: larity. Colonel Galloway would max
a working, pains taking member of tn
Tennessee Legislature. He will receiv
the cordial support of the Democrat
, and Conservatives of Shelby county
a and Judging from the Jealous manne
r in Which the Fayette delegatlo
pressed his nomination he will recelv
: a cordial support inthat county.

II the road is really SO much of a
desideratum 10 your section, it would
seem as il there ought to be but little
trouble to raise this sum. and thereby
have other parties come IL to supple
ment what Is necessary to complete the
enterprise.
Please give me the length of the line
by way OF the plank road, and also ad-
wise me on what terms the plank road
company will merge their line of way
into the proposed railroad, and you
may hear more from me on this sub
ject. l believe you can have rail
road that will answer all the demands
of your trade and travel, if J our people
really want such an improvement.
Very truly yours.

THE COMING SESSION.
WAsHISGTON. Oct. J.-Information
obtained from the best sources leads
to the conclusion that the coming ses-
sion of Congress will abound III as
much, if not more, political discussion
than any session since the close of the
war, and that there will also be several
important Investigations set on foot.
The prospect, therefore, for business
legislation of any material consequence
is slight, as the working days of the
entire session Will be comprised within
the short space of about two and q
half months. Influential members Of
both Houses express the opinion that
another investigation into Louisiana
affairs cannot be avoided and from
the developments OF the last few weeks
it is apprehended such an iuvestiga-
ton, If ordered, will be as protracted
as that which WAS conducted Winter
before last
