Wilson Offers Fine Inducements.
Wilson is after the Capitals route
with the customary VigOr and energy
shown by that progressive and enter
prising city. On yesterday the News
and Observer, by an error that is
greatly regretted. stated that it was
fifty miles out of the route. there be-
ing hardly a difference of ten miles.
The editor of this paper was at that
time in Sanford. where he urged the
Pathfinders to go by way of Wilson,.
so as to see the splendid roads of
hat county. and to see n of the
Invest cities in the State. The delay
of twenty-fOur hours at Sanford,
however, prevented the trip from be-
ing made by Wilson. and the men,
bers of the party said that they great
ly regretted this. as Mr.. Josephus
Daniels urged them to make a visit
to Wilson,. In hat city there are
more automobiles than in any other
place of like population in North Car
DINA, and the people Of the county
are in the very forefront in the
making Of good roads. the roads that
are being built being not surpassed
by any in the State. Major John S.
Cohen, of the Atlanta Journal. n
Mr.. Hamilton Peltz. of the New York
Herald, expressed great regret that
they could not accept the invitation
to visit Wilson, an invitation that was
warmly extended. That Wilson
county is in the fight to become part
of the Capitals cute is certain. and
its enterprising people will offer great
inducements to have the route made
through that section.
