WINDSOR. n. c., March %. Especial The
question whether Windsor township and
Colerain township in this county shall take
fifteen thousand dollars worth of stock IN
the Norfolk, Wilmington and Charleston rail-
road is TO be voted upon on the 18th OF May.
This matter IS causing great deal OF interest
and excitement among the citizens, and each
side. of the question has many and strong
adherents. But from a careful survey OF the
field it seems that those who favor subscrip
ton predominant more than three TO one.
The building Of the Norfolk. Wilmington and
Charleston road will materially affect the In
terests of the people IN the eastern part
of tins state. and give the residents or TINS
rich and fertile section quick transportation
facilities which they nave long been denied.
The ants have tried many and various de-
vices TO stem the tide OF voters who are flock
ing 10 the supper, of the subscription. bat
their devices are so thin that not single voter
has rs vet been affected by them.
The newest scheme that has found its birth
in the idle brain OF an anti is TO circulate re-
mort that tic Norfolk and Carolina road.
which runs from Tarboro. n. c.. to Norfolk,
Va. would soon begin TO build road and run
n train from Aulsnder to AyOca. on tie Abe
marie sound passing through Windsor. Sur
yeyors were employed and are now surveying
that route The impression prevails through
ont this section that this is only blum game.
and as soon rs the vote on the subscrlp-
ton is held that 10 more will be
heard of the Norfolk and Carolina building
a branch road through this town. and this is
done only for the purpose of frightening of
the Norfolk. Wilmington and Charleston
promoters and the people who will support
il by their labor, money and votes. as the
building Of this road will materially affect
the Freight receipts and passenger travel of
that road.
