' The nerchantsjahd citizens are urgently requested to meet at the Produce Exchange this morning, at 12 o'clock, to take appro priate action in regard to-the proposed ex tension of the Raleigh & Augusta Air Line Railroad from Hamlet to Charlotte, a bill to authorize which has been introduced in the Legislature. It is appropriate to say that the building of the proposed extension would very ma terially affect this city and damage 'her commercial prosperity seriously. The terri tory! that should support and help build up Wilmington has been tapped and drained already to a great extent by tbe continual violation of the truly home system of in ternal improvement which at an earlier peripd 'distinguished the legislation of this State. ITbere must now be no hesitation- no timidity no want of backbone but a decided . and intelligent protest against every movement which will operate, directly or indirectly, in the impoverishment of our seetjon by the extension of State aid for the depletion of North Carolina eities. Cor porations inimical to Slate development, which may become, as it were, mere bridges for the egress of the vast productions which should find a basin within our own' lines, must be ignored, or throttled and killed in their inception. For years the western counties have been tributary to the cities of other States, and this has been partially, if not wholly due to a failure to hold fast to a system of legislation formed with the pur pose of benefiting North Carolina. Let the meeting to-day be such in character and spirit as to illustrate that the Object of those who- would emasculate us of commercial growth is seen., and .must be guarded against. an ' ' Sadden ,Ieatn. .
