Lenoir Topic.
Watauga county has a good
citizenship. Its people are intelli-
gent. progressive and enterpris
ing. But this fine county and its
excellent people have been for
years seriously handicapped for
the want OF better railroad facili'
ties. A railroad is unquestiona'
bly, the greatest need just now,
and it appears that this supreme
need can be met if the citizens ol
the county will vote the necessa'
ry bonds With the coming ofthe
"iron horse" Watauga would en-.
ter upon d period OF development
and prosperity never be ore
dreamed of, and our neiahbor:
over the ridge cannot afford to
allow this opportunity to pass.

tax districts. The bonds are fiye
per cent bonds and the interest
will be $4,000 per annnm. And
after a very few years the rail-
road alone will much more than
pay this interest. Besides, the
county is to have stock issued to
it to the amount OF bonds she
issues. This is an advantage that
Wilkes County does not enjoy.
When did a county ever haas a
finer opportunity offered her?
The writer has no personal inter.
est whatever in the railroad. IL
not the stake too great for Wa
tauga County to take any chanc-
es in a failure to vote the bonds?

For years the good people Of

been anxiously hoping for a rail.

fruitfui.:source OF talk and spec.
ulation for n long time. Once or
twice the county has been called
upon to vote on the question OF
a bond issue to assist in building
u road into the county but for
some cause or other the bond
issue proposition meyer carried.
just at this time however, they
seem to haye best.:proposltion
and the best opportunity ever
presented them of getting a rail.
road.
Mr.. Grandin, representing the
Watauga Railway Company, has
made them a definite proposition
and proposes to build a road
through the county, If the citi-
zens Of the county will take stock
in the enterprise to the extent OF
100000 by voting q bond issue
for that amount.
The conditions of the bond is.
sue are fair and the county does
not need to advance the money
until the road is built, thus they
incur no risk in the matter.
Whether the bond issue will ever
prove to be a profitable invest.
ment 10 a direct way is doubtful,
but the indirect benefits accru.
ing to the county by making it
accessible and it's valuable natu
raj resources. known will I'LL.
doubtedIy show that the voting
OF the bonds will be wise. The
people need not sit still and OK.

and build railroads and develop
their county when they will not
help themselves. We do not as q
rule advocate county bond issues
to railroad propositions, but
Watauga must do something il
she ever expects to get q road
and we think the present pro-
positios ,s an exceptional oppor'
tunity for the people Of that

What His Home Pauer Thinks Of Bob
DOughtOn.
Allegheny Star.
Bob Douehton entered t b e
realm OF North Carolina Politics
only after proving his ability to
succeed in his chosen vocation
to make farming pay
1t required great stores of en-.
ergy. big brain and rare execu.
tiye ability to bring to fruition
the dreams of his young man.
hood, but all these attributes he
possessed to a marked degree.
he thinks rapidly and as rapid
ly puts his plans into execution,
and ifthere i1any one thing more
than another that is accounta.
ble for bis remarkable success as
a farmer, it il the thoroughness
with which he does things. He
never equivocates where there is
a principle involved and never
compromises with a difficulty.
Az a boy, his old playmates tell,
he was never known to dodge a
mud hole, but regardless OF Sun.
day shoes, or no shoes, he always
eplit right through the middle oi
it, leaving the disturbed pond
o.,.regain its lost pIacidity as
best It could. Today, the boy
grown older, he would not finch
from any duty, fearing as little
the national problems he, a. a
member of Congress, is called on
to help solve, as he did the. mud
holes of his childhood. ..
His coming marks the begin.
ming of q new era in North Caro-.
lima politics. While be- is a splpn.
did mixer, he is not the ordinary
TYPE, OF polltician-the lou d.
laughing, hand-shaking, joke-tell

has nearly always been the sue
cessful applicant-the "People's
Choice. He persuades Ills peo.
pie by the ploquence OF his rea.
son, touching their minds with.
out arousing their passions crea
ting a wholesale interest in gov.
ernmental affairs. His ability to
do this is at once the scourge and
envy of his opponents. A man
without guile, full OF sympathy
for the people he has been called
on to lead, he stands obedient tc
their will, with hand and heart
ready to serve their every wish.
His private life has been exem.
plary, and nowhere does be stanc
higher than in the hearts of hi
neighbors. II it takes the excep
tion to prove the rule, then tht
rule is proven in The case OF the
old proverb: "a prophet is moi
without honor saye IN his OWL

, His campaign against Cowlel
in 1910 will be long remembered
in this section. 1t was a new thing
in these parts to see a farmer

More Strong Evidence Why Wataus q
Should Vote the &. Z. Bonds.

More Strong Evidence Why Wataus a
Should Vote the B. 4. Bonds. ;,
Mr.. EDIToR:--I notice IN your
paper the official call for an elec-
tior, to be held in Watauga Coun.
ty on November 5th. to determ-
inc whether or not the County
shall issue bonds to the amount
OF one hundred thousand dollars
to the Watanga Railway. The
wri' o. has no disposition to butt
into a situation that is not his;
AM t,is only excu-e for Offering
this article is that he has been
requested by a former former
worthy citizen OF the county
one who still shares a sympa.
thetlc interest in the affairs of the
county-to give your readers
view OF Wilkes County's exper.
ience with her railroad bonds.
In 1881, l thluk it was, Wilkes
County voted to issue one hun.
dred thousand dollars OF six per
cent thirty year bonds to the
Richmond and Danvillp Railroad
now the Southern. The annual
interest on these bonds was, of
course, $4,000. There are 1911
miles of railroad in the county,
assessed at 500, 120.09 per mile,
or, in the aggregate, $7O8, ,465..
90. The tax rate is now 70 cents
on the hundred. At this rate, the
railroad last year paid to the
county a little more than $500.
90, straight connrty tax. In ad.
dition to this, it paid from $1,000.
90 to $15O0.00 special school
tax to local districts. Altogether
it paid the county more than the
interest on the bonds. Thus 1T
may be seen that in dollars and
cents the county is actually max.
ing money off OF the railroad.
The bonds are no burden at all.
As a matter OF fact, the principal
has now been paid down to about
$32, 10000 and the interest on
the balance is comparatively
small. In thruth, the tax on
these railroad bonds has never
been much OF a burden on the
county for the reason that the
railroad has always paid q large
per cent oft.
When the railroad came here,
10 1890, the tax rate was dol
lar on the hundred, As above
stated, it is now 81 cents on the
hundred. AT the latter rate, the
town of North Wilkesboro now
pays mora tax than the entire
county paid before the railroad
came here. Ii there had been no
railroad there would he no North
Wilkesboro, no Roating River,
no Ronda, both pretty good
little towns. Because of the rail-
road. there are numerous pros.
porous enterprises situated in the
country. These all pay good
taxes. These are some of the e.
cOnornic reasons why Wilkes coun
ty did wiselyln voting thes bonds.
There are other still more weigh.
ty reasons why she did wisely in
voting them. Our people are
much more prosperous, much
happier much more enterprising
and much more entelligeDt than
they would have been without
the railroad. The railroad is
bringing out the best natiye ele.
ments there are in our people.
Watanga County is unsurpass
ed in all North Carolina in natur.
al resource and in the high stur.
dy character of her citizenship
A railroad would benefitno coun.
ty III the State more than it
would benefit Watauga. In a few
years, Boone would be one of tht
finest mountain towns in the
State.
The Watauga Railway, as pro-
ljected, will traverse the county
