' j Some Foolish Talk Derided. ! In normal times, there would be ab- • solutely no trouble In disposing of the state bonds, declared Governor Cam eron Morrlßon on the "eve of his de parture for New York, city and other financial centers where he and Treas urer Lacy will seek placement of a part of the bonds authorized by th» legislature. North Carolina's credit is in fine shape, the declared. In fact, it is one of states in the union which assets of sufficient amount to practically wipe out the state debt. The state has a bonded debt of about eleven million dollars. . / Over against this liability, the stjjt® owns railroad property which, it/ is estimated, will bring at least that amount. It owns the controlling stock in the road from Charlotte to Golds boro and from Goldsboro to Morehead City. Conservative business men be lieve that "state's stock in these two roads would easily bring a suffi cient amount to wipe out the state debt. Consequently, any talk about the credit of the state being in a pre carious condition is foolish and ab surd, in the opinion of the governor- No other Southern state has such as sets to offset its bonded debt, and few other states in the union can make such a showing.
