Our Railroad.

Saturday last, Mr.. III. Knubel, manager
OF the Washington and Potomac Railroad
in company with George +. Keene and
Henry Lewis, Esqrs of Philadelphia, passed
down our county on tour OF inspection In
connection with the proposed railroad to
Point Lookout These gentlemen were
thorough business men and seemed to be
on hand for the purpose Of Spying out the
land" and seeing If railroad here would
pay and did no unnecessary talking. We
hope they were favorably impressed with
the country despite the disadvantages they
labored under and the hasty view they took.
We believe 81. Mary's Is great county
with great future. Our lands are natur
ally fertile; they are susceptible OF improve
ment and with modern methods and
modern push we are confident that every
rood can be made 20 sustain man. Our
water facilities are unsurpassed; the navies
Of the world can ride at anchor in the St
Mary's or the Patuxent rivers and with
proper rail facilities here would be afforded
the best ocean outlet for the products of
the West. As country for trucking st.
Mary's is peculiarly adapted and could ;ts
products find speedy way to market it
would prove an inexhaustible garden for
nearby cities.
But, what our county is, not what IL will
be, would pay railroad. Only short
line now touches our western district and
we have heard il positively asserted by
those who ought to know that even that
short piece Of road, when running, doubles
the receipts or the Pennsylvania system at
Brandywine. And, terminating as the
w. & p. does at Mechanicsville. It does not
reach the populous portion Of the county
or come within shipping distance of one
hundredth of our products.
Get move on your railroad gentlemen
and we think we can assure you that st.
Mary's will keep II moving and pay its
owners well for the privilege.
