The attempt Of securing another re-
ownership for the Atlantic 81 North
Carolina Railroad property. must dis
abuse every thinking person of the
fallacious argument offered, that the
rcCeivcrship is inspired by those who
wish to preserve this property from
injuring itself, which will surely oc-
eur. according to those promoting
this receivcrship grasp, if the State
continues to own this property.
This solicitous concern Of those ar
guing for a lease, be it through q re-
ownership or any other process, al
leging the waste in running the road
under its present management, is
neither sincere nor has it any sound
business Justification.
The deterioration in this property
rs alleged and its non dividend pay
ing, which has been formerly 50 much
dwelt upon, as proving the haste de-
manded i'm affecting a lease or sale
Of the property, has ceased to have
any special weight. as the roads stock
has advanced to the highest point in
price.
The main fact that is no longer to
be hid is that the A. &. N. G. railroad
property is valuable one, and that
it is wanted by parties who know its
value, md who hope to secure it upon
easy, and for them, cheap terms.
A remarkable point in all this
lease or sale cutlery is that ii comes
from those who have no known pc
cuniary or business interest in this
property. and who will not be gamers
IL this property changes hands any
more than if il remains as 1T is. Why
this clamor from these parties? 1t
is a guess, and any one can take 1t.
But there is justice demanded, how
ever the plan, plot or conspiracy, as
it may succeed, for the people IN the
section which the a. &, n. G. Road
traverses, whose material prospects
and best interests are involved in the
pursuit of this road. and its prospec-
tive ownership.
If some railroad secures this road,
it can inture every business along lis
line, and give setback to the agrl-
cultural and Industrial development
of this section In this every North
Carolinian is concerned, for an in
Jury to one section. must be reflected
upon the entire state.
1t might be better that the A. d
n. G.. paid no dividend in ten years
to the State, rather than it should fall
into such ownership as would bring
out dividend for the new owners, at
the expense and sacrifice of the peo-
pie who are compelled to do business
with this road.
The menace is not to the state, III
this A. & N. c. remaining a State
property even without dividend. me
menace is to the people of this sec
ton, if the road falls into hands
who seek only their own interests, re-
gafdless of the people along the road.
