Sentiment in the community is
wholly with the Carolina Beach Rail

proval are heard on every hand be-
cause IL is realized that mainland
beach. easily accessible by trolley, Is
the one thing lacking in the communi-
tv. and in North Carolina. The ac-

vantages possessed by Wilmington,
makes the enterprise far more inn
portant and valuable. Wilmington is
only thirty miles from the sea and
has a splendid harbor with channel
sufficiently deep to permit easy pass

Vast quantities of cotton and other
export products are shipped from
this port to the four corners Of the
globe.
Carolina Beach's real asset is its
climate. II has been compared by
eminent physicians with the climate
of Nice and other Mediterranean
Ports and the Resort could be easily
operated the year round.

mate in Wilmington. the nearest city

throughout the winter, permitting
outside work at all seasons of the
year and affording harbor that is ice
free the year round
The development and successful
of the Trolley line TO Caro-
lima Beach Is matter which concerns
every true North Carollnian and
should be a matter of State pride in
