After the fr-t meeting of the COM

Canadys.returned to Wilmington and
called meeting of the business men
of his city, told them the condition of
the Road, the absolute need of money
before the commissioners could do
any work, and that there were no re-
sources at the command of the COM
missioners, nor would be until the
Legislature wonld meet. He also told
the meeting that le commissioners
were anxious to put down iron as fast
as the grading could be finished that
by January three miles could be made
ready for the iron reaching Malone's
Store, which would cut off the worst
part of the road now hauled over
Sl2, 500 were needed to get this iron,
and as the people and business men of
Wilmington would ultimately be very
greatly benefited by the completion
of the ". n. c. Road. and we'll know
ing their great liberality, he had call
ed her business men together to sub
cit the matter to them and see what
could be done. To make a long story
short, the result was the subscription
in few Gays, of the entire amount,
which will be placed at the disposal of
the commissioners. 1t is only neces-
sary for our people of the west to
know of this act of generosity for them
to show their full appreciation of 1T.
