In this issue there appears a com xnunication from one of our Lynn citizens suggesting that several of the townships appropriate fifty thousand dollars towards building an electric railroad from Tryon to Chimney Rock. The suggestion is a crood one and we see no reason why it should not be carried out 1 Polk "county is equal and even superior) in many respects to its neighboring . counties. The only drawback to Polk is the lack of a railroad. "Whenever this county is supplied with a way for people and nrodnce to come and co, it will grow at an alarming rate and will, we believe, surpass many counties that have had the advautage of a railroad for a number of years. As our correspondent truly says, the time to act in this matter is now. Let us do something and do it at once. This way of waiting vfor a railroad to drop from the vky without any effort on our part, is a sure way hot to get it Let us all get to work at once and push this thing , through. It takes time and work to get anything of value and if we really' want an electric Vallroad we must work for it We would., be pleased to hear from the citizens of Tryon, Mill Spring, and Cooper Gap on this all important and intei eating question. . Meanwhile let us all stir up the matter more and decide on some definite mode of proceedure. Hofjes . and Commenfs.J. A dozen or more notable publica tions are discussing the race . prob lem again. . But pretty soon the editors will go off on a vacation, and give the office "boy a chance.- Constitution A homely philosopher says that many well-meaning people make a failure of life because they spend nine hours in hoping for the best, nnoronly oneworking for it-.

Farm papers should not meddle it politics. The most successful farm journals today are those that let iuuucs aione. - C. E. Pace, the rrnil carrier, between Columbus and Tryon, Bays that ".-J. D. Rockefeller lost one of hia : valuable rows the other day and promptly increased the price of oil one-half cent on the gallon in order to recover his 1 loss. Poor Rockefeller ! Let s take np col lection for him! Mr. Tage ought not to talk so about a poor unfort unate citizen like the standard oil magnate.- ELECTRIC RAILROAD, Mr. Editor; We beg space in Thk Polk tCUNTY News to say a few things on the Electric R. R. that has been mentioned heretofore. While it may betrue that a great many mis? takes have been made by the people of Polk county in days gone by as regards appropri ations o railroads, etc., il has nothing. ti do with what may be done now. 'And the great question that should interest ui most now is, "what can be done?" V..:.; . .: We belive that if Tryon, Columbus, White Oak and Cooper Gap Townships would . ap propriate fifty thousand dollars to aid in build ing an electric railroad from Tryon to Chimney Rock via Lynn, Columbus, Mill Spring, Cooper Gap, etc., that we would not have any trouble in finding men of money who -would come and build and operate the road. And owjjng to our peculiar situation as regar.ls .the railroad question we have got to move in the right direction and keep moving. Do not give up now. 1$ it not time fur us to bestir ourselves as we mever have done-before and do something and do it now. We have no promise of the tomorrow, next week, month or year and. life is too short to keep procrast inating and keep on waiting and waiting for something or somebody to do something for us. The truth of the matter is that nothing is going to take place that will ever be of any consequence to us unless . we go to work and agitate and stir it up ourselves. So in our weak way of looking at things, we do not believe there is anything that would develop our county any sooner than an electric railroad as above outlintd. C" . Lynn, N, C, March 2lst, 1904.
