mi Carolina Watchman. TH JR3DAY,, D3 J IS, 1836. Wiaitoa and her Railroai Abouit fifteen years ago, Forsyth Co. voted a subscription of one hundred thousand dollars to a Railroad from Greensboro to Salem, a distance of 25 miles, bonds to be issued at once, with out positive assurance that the road would ever be completed. The cars commenced running on their road m 1872. The value of taxable property in the County as assessed in that year was J52.107.14O. The growth of the County seat, Winston, and the improve ment m the entire County, is simply marvelous. The price of real estate has increased : the Railroad debt is'settled, and Forsyth is now claiming to be the banner county of North Carolina. The value of her taxable property as assess ed in 1886, amounts to $5,212,775 nearly three times that of 1872. She owes all this wonderful prosperity to having voted one hundred thousand dollars to secure Railroad facilities. Without it, she was doomed to obscuri ty; with it, her prosperity was assured, and it is now impossible to hx the lim its of her increased wealth in the time to come. In this progressive age counties and communities must keep step in the grand march or be left behind. Row an has already lagged behind man y i jf her sister counties, but she now has a splendid opportunity to regain lost. sid vantages, and by a single bound come to the front.

Dr. Woodrow has inflicted a deal of trouble on the Presbyteries charged influenced and misled by such stock holder. Any man who will undertake to think for himself, at nil, is bound to that the building of a competing line, right through Salisbury and Rowan county, would exert a very beneficial etfect upon our community. It would greatly enlarge the population and resources of Salisbury, thereby creating a greater demand for otnf farm products to feed them. It will cause many new and varied manutacxuring es tablishments to be erected, and during the building of the road, many huudreds of our laborers can get employment at remunerative' wages, and hundreds of thousands of dollars will, in this way alone, be distributed amongst our la.bor ging deep into the wncoinbined part of jtng class of people, and thereby benefit the world the farmers and simple am- xue enure community zans scattered over the country "Com bination means we willswim let sink who may.

In prepar Then again, If we vote the $100,000, not one cent's worth of bonds will issued un til the road is finished to Salisbury, and the cars running to that place. After this, $50,000, or one-half of the bonds, will be issued, and when the road is hmshed to the Davie line, the other half will be issued, none of the interest on said bonds is to be collected until after ten years. The people of this generation will never feel the burden, nor will the generations to come ever feel it, and even if thej' did, the enhancement of the value of jtheir property will more than compensate them for it, so that, view it as you may, there is every reason why we should vote this aid to the proposed road. Our owu in terests and the interests of our posterity demands it. Patriotism, and desire for the future well-being of the community, demands it of us, that we vote for this measure.

Strange, nowever, tiuti u lhsuimo ssu i-u- lightencd as the citizens ot scotch Irish, will suffer themselves to be gulled with such fallacious statements. Suppose a farmer buys a tract of land for 1,000 and gives his note for that amount, but at the same time, takes a deed in fee simple for the land. Now whilst it is true that he owes the debt, he has its equivalent in real estate. So it is in resrard to the proposed Railroad, for as soon as we turn over to the company $50,000 in bonds, we immediately receive their equivalent in that amount of stock in the road. But, there are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Vie will just refer to two individuals : James S. MeCubbins and Luke Blackmer, Esqrs., both venerable men, well known to onr people, men who have grown grey in our service, and both men of large means, and although they are both feeble with old age, yet these venerable men arc leaving their comfortable firesides to go around in all this inclement weather, to address the people in favor of voting $100,000 for the Road. Thev are men of larcre experience, and thev favor the scheme. Ought this not to convince the most skeptical, that the proposed aid should be civen to the road bv the coun ty ?

T. K. Brnner's Appointment From the Cbar. Observer. I sec by the proceedings of the last meeting of the Agricultural Bureau, that T. K.

Mr. Bruner has devoted hU Hmn nnrl tiirnU tA tim rlitvalnninoni At' 1ia A serious accident on the Chapel Hill agricultural, and especially the mineral inter ests of the state, and has done more in that direction than any man 1 ksow. Hence his appointment is gratifying to those rho wish to see practical ability and useful talent connected with the Department. His election as perma nent secretary will do more to satisfy the peo ple aud give' permanency to the Department than anything which ft hts done since its or ganization. I congratulate the State on securing the ser vices of so efficient, well posted and useful an officer. I will now say long life to the institu tion. W, Enochville Items. Died, in Enochville, Dec. 12th, Mrs. Mary M. Yost, the kind and loving wife of Aaron Yost, Ivsn., aged 1 years, months and 5 days, leaving a husband and three children to mourn their loss. In earlv life she connected herself with the Reformed church, but in 1840 transferred her membership to St. Enoch E. L. church and remained an active member of the same till she died. She was known as the friend of the pastor, who always found liro. Yost's home open to him. She strove to impress those around her with the importance of belonging to the church. She was positive and at times severe in her reproof of wickedness. She has a son, Rev. T. J. Yost, in the Lutheran ministry, in New York. She leaves one brotler, Mr. David Shulenbarger, the onlone surviving of eight children. Her death was sudden and unexpeetee to all though she died strong in the faith. Rev. J. C.

I see in this morning's Observer, a short com munication commending the board for electing T. K. Bruner to the secretaryship of the .Agri cultural Bureau. Mr. Bruner is one of the best informed men in the State on her mineral and arborea resources, and lm -election is an earn est that the department is about to address it self to their practical development. I fully agree with "W'; that "he- is the right man in the right place." A practical printer, an experienced journalist, raised to work under the training of the best of men, he cannot fail of being of incalculable service in his chosen field. The department is theoretically well manned, and now, with the addition of the practical, it is much better pre pared to meet the requirements of the times and realize the objects of its establishment. The department requires vim and force to make itself felt, a"hd the sccrctarj-ship is an important place to have it. I am one of those who have heretofore doubted the utility of tie concern, but with a practical man tilling one of its most important offices most or my objections are removed, and I think now it will take a new lease of life. Handsomely written reports and patriotic resolutions are good enough in their place, but practical sense is ths desideratum in this utilitarian age, and Mr. Bruucr, I know, possesses it. Mac ox.
