FOR THE EXTENSION.
The New Berne Journal aud GOldsborO
Argus Want the A. ~ N. G.. Road
Extended.
New Berne Journal

New Berne Journal
In another column will be found
bill passed by the late General Assem-
bly, allowing the extension of the At
lantic s. n. O. railroad. Now that this
favorable act has been secured we nope
there will be no abatement of effort un-
til the proposed extension is made. New
Berne stands ready to j)in hands with
other advocates of the movement in any
endeay or to forward the longed for ex-
tension.
The inhabitants Of New Berne and the
territory along the line of the road as it
is now built do not stand alone IN their
desire to see it extended. Goldsboro,
it's western terminus, is a strong advo-
cate of the measure. The Argus com
ments on the bill, and argues IN favor OF
the proposition, thus:
"The bill speaks for itself and is not
only the best that could be secured un.
der the circumstances, but it is in fact,
a very admirable measure though con-
taining strict provisions for the pro-
tectlon OF the States intere It, 1t is not
shorn of its usefulness. The extension
should be made, and Goldsboro should
take the initiative in its construction
Railroads are not of much use to place
as a mere place at which to sell goods a
retail, but when town assumes the pro
portions of manufacturing centre ant
Wholesale distributor of goods, thai
indeed is every railroad finder ant
opener up of new fields Of trade
Goldsboro is becoming both of these
Hence the necessity for more railroads
Let the road be extended, and let actor
b. taken at an early day."

ed the gist of the act referred to by tn

Sunday morning predicted. Two or
three days ago, in conversation with an
able Judge, he said "Whatever DONALD
Balm proposes in regard to taxation,
or whatever decision he renders. will
be wise and proper" The Judge was
right, and the people will endorse the
State Treasurer's ruling which is as fol-
lows:
Tax on Incomes.
The provisions in the former Revenue
acts taxing incomes derived from sala-
ries and fees, and allowing the taxpayer
to deduct one thousand dollars as nee
essary expenses for conducting his bust
ness or for supporting his family, have
been amended by striking out the clause
allowing the deduction of one thousand

division 8, requires the Taxpayer to lis

Wilmington Messenger.)
The New Berne Journal expresses the
opinion that it is the intention of the
W. q. & O. railroad people to extend
their line on from New Berne to Norfolk,
thus forming complete inner coast line
between that city and this. There are
some long heads controlling the manage
ment and policy of that road and our
neighbor is probably not far wrong.
