Th Editor: Ia today 'a iasue of The New aad Observer there appeared aa article from Clinton in reference to the . Baleigh, Clinton and Wilmington railroad, which is bow claiming the attention of the people ia thla eommunity. 1 do aot know who wrote thia article, although I hare taken aoaaa. paia to aseertaia its author' name. 1'afortutu.tely for the Clintea people the article ia que tioa ia calculated to offeriU' those who are now endeavoring to baild a railroad from Dona to Bou-boro. I want to state that the "Committee of Ten," who were appointed to take Charge of the K. C. ft W. railroad propaganda, had nothing whatever to do ith this article, and it does aot express th fentimeat of the committee nor of thi community. We people in Clinton have no light ta make against Mr. Tilghman and his road. In' fart, it wai. proponed in our mas meeting that w eo-oprrate with the Tilghman project aad have a sys tem of railrosda in this county. We aro glad to see any section of our county built up, and the Tilghman load will certainly benefit th people through whose territory it runs. The rommitt-e as appoiatel at the mass meeting, consisted of HeB-7 A. Grady, aa chairman, and Messr. Geo. K. Butler, Howard McKimon, Oscar .1. Peterson, W. W. (asteel, Walter F. Peterson, John B. IVtertoii. C. W. Petty, John B. Williams and Robert E. Her ring. At a meeting of this committee, held in my office ht week, Mr. George E. Butler wa elected a temporary socretary, and the committee requested him to take up at once with the busi ness organization: of Wilmington and Raleigh the featihility of the plan as outlined at our meeting; and tals ,1 being done. No member of the com niittco was requested or authorized ts make any statement to the press, and this letter would not be written now but for the fact that mir friends around Salem burg and Roaelwim might think that we are responsible Tor 1 ha articij above mentioned. The committee, col lectively and individually, lias the kind, est feeling for Mr. Tilghman, and we all regretted the Iota of his large lum ber plant at Iunn. We hope thia wilt in no wise interfere with "hi railroad project in Rampavu county, ami cer tainly Jo nt want our neighbor! iu Harnett to feel that we are rejoicing ia their misfortunes. . The citizens of this community are very much interested in the building of the R. ('. ft W. rsilroad, and we have the assurance of financial sup port ia other quarters. This new roaJ, if built, will 0tea up to the northern market a large section of (plead id coiiatry heretofore Isolated and negfo-t'- ed. It will furnish a d:rort cutlet to DEFEAT RESOLUTIONS AT CONVENTION AT WINDSOR The Kevalaation Act and Boad Buildisf Program Upheld By Bertia Democratg the rich soils of Newton Grove. Hall's. Tayior'a Bridge and Franklin townships in tm county, and will pasa through what -I undent ud to lo one of the richest parte of Johnston -county. We are expeetiag Naleurk to join hands with ua iw -thia enterprise, for it there that tha new rosd will make direct connection trtth' the Seaboard and tht northern markets. - . , To Itr. it. . M. Ctoier primarily b due the credit at-fvrrrainrtWtdrnrpn eur people, aad but splendid aad an thuiiaatio address at our recent ma meeting did more to arouse us to a full realisation of our need thaar per haps anything rise that can be men tioned at thia . time. Th .committee is hopeful that' ha eaa brine about tin full sympathy and ro operation of the people where it now lives, for Baleigh win reap a larger reward thaa Clinton I ia finally built, and it -will be built if determination and enthus iast count for anvlliinc a; all.
