cLoUcEsTERs CHANCE.

On the 9th instant the people OF Glou-
cester will have an opportunity TO vote
upon the question OF authorizing their
Board of Supervisors to subscribe $4,000
20 the building OF the Richmond and
Tidewater Electric Railroad.
That the mass OF those who go TO the
polls will vote faye" we have no doubt;
but the law requires that the total num-
Der OF votes cast shall be majority OF
the qualified voters OF the county. 80
Il is OF the highest importance to the sue
cess of the enterprise that there should
be large turnout of citizens
Whenever Gloucester and her neighbors
secure rail connection with Richmond they
will be free from the exactions OF the
boat lines that are now their only reli-
ance. Then they can choose between
Richmond and Baltimore as markets Tor
their oysters. fish, and truck. Then, In
short. they will be the benefciaries OF
competition. IL Baltimore will pay more
for Gloucester's produce than Richmond
then Baltimore will get II: on the other
hand, If we Will pay more than baltimore,
then we will get 1T. Now. 1t is we'll
known fact that Baltimore consumes very
little OF the produce in question. Most OF
IL is shipped to the West 1t can be ship
ped from Richmond better than from
Baltimore, because 1t would arrive here
quicker and go of that much sooner.
hence would reach the West In better
condition.
Again, the people OF Gloucester living
upon the rivers now have vast ad-
vantage over those living at distance
from the rivers. This electric road would
equalize matters, and. what is more. II
would compel the boats TO give the river
farmers cheaper and quicker service.
In short. IL the people of Gloucester
want TO develop their county; If they
wish to see their lands and their produce
both bring better prices than they do
now. they ought to do their part towards
building this electric road. If Gloucester
leads the way, we feel quite sure the
other communities interested will do their
duty in the premises. The result will be
a railway line that will be of more sub
stantial service to farmers and fisher folk
than any other line of similar length in
Virginia.
