COUNTY BONDS.
The bonds of York county, in aid of the
Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad,
are now in the market, and present safe and
profitable means for investment. Of their va
lidity there is no question, while the ability
of the county to meet them is equally certain.
The bonds are in the sum of one hundred
dollars each, affordng an opportunity for
those of limited means to invest in them, as
we'll rs the capitalist, and bear interest, pay
able annually, at the rate Of seven per cent.
per annum, while the coupons are receivable
in payment of county taxes. 1t is desirable
on the part of the managers of the road to
realize as much as possible on these bonds,
not only as a matter of economy to the enter
prise which they are designed to aid; but also
for the benefit of the people. As the bonds
will most..certainly be sold, should they be
sacrificed in distant market, and not realize
a sum sufficient for the purpose for which they
are issued, it would only be disastrous for all
concerned. Hence the desire of disposing Of
them at home, instead of making sale of them
to brokers and stockholders, amongst whom,
for speculative purposes, county bonds, how
ever valid and safe as an investment, are
quoted at figures too low to justify sale, if
it can possibly be avoided, and make it adj
vantageous to the people they are intended to
benefit. That the bonds can be easily dispos-
ed of at the money centres, either by sale or
hypothecation, there is not the slightest doubt;
but, as we have intimated, at prices too low to
meet the demands of the company, as we'll, in
fact, as being below their actual value. The
Importance of this fact has already awakened
several of our most prudent citizens, and
within the past week H. F. Adickes, Joseph
Herndon, j. F. Wallace, John H. Adams,
James L. Clark, Peyton B. Darwin, Thomas
S. Jeferys and L. NJ. Grist have each made
arrangements for investing in the bonds, at the
rate of $50 for each hundred dollars, all the
funds they can spare for permanent invest
ment.
Others in town have signi6ed willingness
to take the bonds at the same rate; and we
see no reason why they cannot all be taken
in the county by our own people, thus pre-
venting sacrifice to the enterprise, and furnish
ing the most certain and reliable investment
to all having surplus of funds which they
would proftably employ. Bonds can be pro-
