SPECIAL ORDER.
The morning hour expired and the
Speaker announced the special order-
bill to amend the charter of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad.
McGill moved to re-refer to Commit
tee on Corporations.
Whitfield spoke in favor of the bill.
He alluded to the attempts of the W. &
W. road to "gobble it up"; that it had
tapped the line at Kinston and threaten
ed to also go to Newbern. If they did
that, the road would be dead beyond re
surrection. He hoped it would not be
re-referred, but passed as the committee
had recommended.
Sutton, favored the bill. He said that
he had heard from his boyhood that
this was the natural channel to the
coast; that Morehead had contemplated
this great through line in the State; that
this was the only road the State of North
Carolina now owned; that it was true it
had stock in the North Carolina Rail
way, but that it was leased; that the
name of the "Mullet Road" was a term
of opprobrium used now in derision of
the road; that the State's interest should
be protected, and these people should
have an outlet.
Peebles thought the bill should be re
referred; that the road had never paid
running expenses; that numerous offers
had been made to lease the road by the
W & W ; at $60,000 per annum; that
this would give the State some revenue,
but that it now got nothing.
Bryan of Wayne spoke strongly in
favor of the bill; he said that the Rich
mond & Danville and W. & W. had been
trying for years to gobble up this line;
that he Peebles), said that the road was
a nuisance; that this bill was trying . to
mend matters; that there was a strong
tendency to crush out this road; that it
was being choked ?and cut in two at
Kinston; and unless this road could be
allowed to have an outlet there was
great danger of the State losing its road.
He then addressed himself to the merits
of the bill. Said that there could be no
objection to the bill unless some objec
tion should be made to sec. 12, in regard
to convicts. He then explained that
section, and hoped the bill would pass.
The bill was re-referred to the com
mittee and , made the special order for
next Saturday.
