TO OPEN UP OUR STOKES COUNTY RESOURCES.
AH indicated elsewhere in this paper a strong effort is to be made
soon to open up the middle and western sections of Stokes county by
means of an electric carriage line. A rough draft of the scheme, which
is something new in this country, but has been triod in the north and
west with entire success, is as follows: A right of way will be procured
on which will be constructed a dirt road, thoroughly drained, and bridged,
with all rocks, stumps and projections removed, so built that water can't
stand on any part of it, thus almost entirely removing the mud feature,
even in tho roughest weather. On this road will bo operated electric
machines with motive power furnished from batterios on l>oard. The
passenger carriages will be capable of seating comfortably 20 persona
with light baggage. The freight trucks will carry from 5,00() to 20,(XXJ
pounds of freight. All machines will be equipped with broad tires,
which will naturally keep the road-bed packed smooth and firm. The
machines may easily ascend tho heaviest grades, and will have a
minimum and maximum capacity of 4 and 20 miles per hour respect
ively. At each end of the line charging-stations will be built, at
which upon the completion of a trip either way the batteries will be
replenished, which will be at a trifling cost and the matter of only a
few minutes time.
The beauty of this system will be :
1. The comparatively small capital required to start.
2. Its cheapness of operation.
Its practicability and assurance of handsome profit on the invest
ment.
As far as possible the promoters will induce homo money to back
the enterprise, which it is believed will be worth millions to the poo
ple of the county, furnishing them easy and cheap transportation for
their supplies and largely enhancing property values. The country
to be tappod is rich in agricultural products, timber, minerals, health
and pleasure resorts, etc.
OUR ONE NEED.
Notwithstanding the fact that the tobacco crop last year averaged
only about > cents, and that those who engaged in its culture realized
possibly not more than 25 cents a day for their labor, it is the concen
sus of opinion that our farmers have planted a tremenduous crop ol
the weed. It is hoped that the result may be happy—that good pricee
may prevail at the warehouses next fall, but goodness knows there ie
scant ground for such a hope.
It is a sad fact—if such bo a fact—that there is no money in raising
anything else than tobacco. If that be the only chance of our people
to live for all time, then indeed are they in a bad row ol
stumps.
It has always seemed to us that one of the greatest needs of this
country is for somebody—a shrewd Yankee, for instance—to come
among us and show us how to make money out of little things—some
master mind with the genius to gather up the scattered details snub
bed at by our overwsening folks —anil get rich off them. There are
all kinds of small sources from which energy and sense could extract
hard dollars. A poor Jew, before he hid been here three waoks, would
corner on the huckleberries on the mountain and the blackberries grow
ing wild by the roadside, and before you know it he would be loaning
money. A Yankee would raise chickens and eggs and sell thorn tu
our folks at 15 cents per pound and 10 cents per dozen. 'Twouldn't
take a very large Hock of fowls to buy a moderately sized crop of to
bacco. But wo have heard of nobody in Stokes succeeding at this
business, while out north where conditions are far loss favorable men
are engaged in it on a large scale and getting rich at it. Yon see, we
don't know how.
We have the dirt, the water, the air. timber, rock, herbs, fruits,
plants, soil—in a word, the r.iw material. We only lack the man.
THE LAW POWERLESS-* TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Our news columns today tell of the misfortune
of a law-abiding citizen of Snow Creek township,
who has lost his stable, a pair of S»X).(X) mules, feedstuff
and other property by fire, which Mr. Smith Iwlievos and his friends
believe may he traced directly to a desperate band of blockaders. Mr.
Smith is a quiet man, law-abiding, stands high in his neighborhood,
and pays his taxes for protection to his property and his life and the
lives of his family. If the law is so powerless that it cannot afford
that protection—if a gang of illicit ruffiains are allowed to threaten
and intimidate, and finally to grow so bold in their lawlessness as to
stick the firebrand to property in an act of ruthless revenge against
one who dares to express honest convictions against their methods—if
the law is such a powerless instrument as this—we have fallen upon
evil days an 1 a terrible state of affairs.
SOFT SNAPS.
I). L. Aroy is Judge Boyd's latest vi -tim. Aroy, who is a big Salis
bury distiller wh ) has l>een defrauding the government, pays
$22,000 and goes to jail two months. There is a report current that
ths recent heavy fines and sentences imposed upon distillers who have
beon swindling ths government is tho culmination of a carefully
planned scheme to break up the illicit truffle in white lightning. Of
cnursj this commendable enterprise is confined to those easy situations
where there are no Winchester lifios.
In the hurry and worry of getting out a newspaper it is difficult to
guard against typographical errors. Sometimes words making one's
meaning ridiculous or opposite to that intended, occur, and are over
looked sutirely. Such was the case in our last issue when the printer
headed the little editorial calling attention to an interesting contribu
tion "A Trite Suggestion From Prof. Harris," which should have l)een
"A Tart Suggestion From Prof. Harris."
