The general complaint in the State is.
that capital does not come to enable us to
develop our boundless resources vet when
= party of capitalists from New York. pro
poses to spend millions to complete the
'oad through the mountain country, and
hus open up through connection to Ten
nessee, and bring that land lock part OF our
state In connection with our central
md eastern cities, cry is raised
It is to be hoped the sale will be
made, whether to North Carolinians or not.
IS we see no advantage in its being sold to
'itizens OF the State. They once held all |
'ur roads in connection with the State, yet |
lave but little or no control over them |
low. They have past into the hands of |
and so would this road IN short
ime, as there is no capital in private hands
0 complete it. No one now feels that the
state has been injured by the roads bein g
un by outsiders, but on the whole are bet
er managed than before. Weare utterly
opposed to the State having anything to do
With running or building railroads, as they
'ill be converted Iuto political engines for
arty purposes. = Charlotte .Southerpe Home
