Wharton J, Green Dis cusses the Feasibility of the Much-Talked of - Project. On the question of 'connecting the C. F. & Y. V. RailrOKUl with the Atlantic & North Caroliaa^JBttil road, Col. Green writes the Fayette ville Ohserrcr as follows; * The people of the interior and eastern portion of the State have token up the question of the pro priety of connecting the Cape Fear k Yadkin Talley Railroad with the Atlantic & North Carolina i Railroad. The great advantage of ! this connection needs no discussion, | ns there is no question as to Its be ing the true policy to be used to wards the east. During a recent visit to the seacoast. I was astonished at the unanimity of sentiment that existed among the people along the entire line of the road, fn * favor of such a connection; and the anxious solicitude with which they wire lookingt fiwwprd h» 8«cH a consnma £idn; noifa dissecting voice did I hear thoughl ^yWed'wiOt JiiaQy; tod I “do npt "befiteVe thatjfchere afe a dbzejl in any community hciwee««^Go,u^ ; boro and Morehcod that iwoufd op pose such a connection. They ^ay for'wank of this connection, the prosperity of the east is greatly re tarded; they have v no freight con nections with the west unless at ruinous rates as to preclude the pos sibility of their availing themselves of a market t and to the people of .the interior of the State,* the eastr as. a market, is an unknown region. Such a state of srffaire ought not to exist, yet it is true. [ This connection is far more,desir able for the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Road than a connection with Wilmington. It seems to me j. that New Berne is far more i advan tageously located fop coast-wise commerce, and for shipping from the interior of the State than Wil mington, and equally as well for foreign commerce, . The first asser tion can be easily proven by measur ing the distance on good maps of the State..Suppose a.-liue ,of road was run by Sanford, taking it as an objective point to Goldsboro, the distance is 07 miles - From Goldsboro to New j Berne, it is.........\., 00 w /From New Berne to Nor folk. via Palmico Sonnd - -i" and Albemarle & Chesa peaks Cauel, it is...... ,200 “ Whole distance from San v ■■ .. „• .jsit'i.-.i* — ■■■.•»* -4 - 7;Y6rd to Norfolk via Neurl? ^ b ......527, .**->■ ' >*pn the other hand, suppose the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley should extend their road fromFuyetteville -■fcl'" ■ ' ”-u'"': ^ ■:"v w ..... * 3 3 Wilmington, the distance w» • •»••«»•».* ... 78 miles From Sanford to Fayette-' yille, it is...... 37 “ From Wilmington to Nor- ~~ 7~ 7 . folk, viasca^it is„.^Li844 Whole distance from San- 7. s ford to Norfolk, via Wil- '*'= mington, is...........459 M .The difference in favor of New Berne is 132 miles. . This difference in lengths of route to Northern ports, for it is to . Nor thern ports that over nine-tenths of onr shipments are sent, is not by any means all that can be truthfully | urged in favor ofNew Berne as an 6b- ' jectire point for the Gape Fear & ! Yadkin Yrulley Hoad.-: The trans portat ion would be surer,' quicker j storms to encounter, as the naviga- : tion would be on inside watery. As j regards New Berne as a point for foreign shipments, the harbor of how important it is to the interior of the State that this connection,of the two roads should be made; and it is of vital importance to the nroiw*rty of, not only thepeopleof the east, ’Sat also the Atlantic1 and ^North Carolina Road, in which the State is/intcrested to the amount of one million, two hundred and sixty six thousand dollars, and from whjchf shr does not recive one farthing of benefit. / -;:iw . . ; and cheaper, the insurance would be equally os low, if not lower, Ibid there would be no dangerous ocean I think I have made a fair and impartial statement of the state q£ public sentiment as regards the fu ture of the Atlantic and North Carolina Hoad; und also to the de sirability of New Berne as our out let for the Cape Fear & Yadkin Val-: jey roa<L- l oan not see how the"" slightest objection can be urged to this connection by any one who feels nu interest in the prosper ity of the State. The two roads, strictly speaking,are North Carolina roads; and the only two controlled by North Carolinians, and the only roads which th-* people of the State and also of the east., can look for re lirf'from the -tearful pressure upon their energies made by other * roads, controlled by parties inimical to the interests of the people of North Corlh\a. 'Si ■ w Letter Frorp/Staperintendent * [Worn Wilmmgt’on Star.] ' - Goldsboro, N. Cm Sep. 18, ’87. Editor Star I note jour favor able oomment in a recent issue on ihe:'Vr progress of eduction and education- '££a al facilities in, onr State. You say “the public school system is yet very imperfect but there is progress. If an enlightened public sentiment shall demand More generous appro nriatmn« tinffAi* Jt ■Zwi J,:x ’ ■r 4^ W§ -/ priations, better t schou&Jbuildi Jppger terms :.abd;‘ mow efflc|e^4 teachers in the common schools';‘aff Jfc* , •these things Will come.” Allow me to thank you for this statement. “Thc^. things” ought to eome-all of tn#in—better teachers, better houses, longer terms, and more en lightened public sentiment, and more aerous appropriations. If the lat $ appropriations could be had, all 5s/others would follow as certainly arnight follows the day. I have bcen]sG?^ing hard to create a better sentiment, to the end that more funds may be applied to public edu- , X «ition,knowing as Tdo tjwk until that is 'done the result of bur sygtenr must be unsatisfactory; and! al^ Ways feel like ! want' to thank the-Cj^* pres* for anything that helps to make the system more popular and better. -;v And public school system, being " fixed in our Constitution, is here to stay. “Whatever is worth doing at alt is worth doing well.” V ■’ 5 As yon say, we are making some progress-progress not alone in the ‘ education of the children, in book learning, hut in the anolirntion-winhui M>»ch m vi education as applied to uie masses of the people is to be attributed to a faiiure.011 the* pbrfc of the teachers to inculcate right ideas about labor. I am sure * I do not undervalue broad culture, * but still this is a utilitarian age, and our educational system most not ignerc4his fact. Most of the things to be.done in this world are common* things to be done i&a common way,' but still they are much better done and more profitably done when ’their doiug ii guided by intelligence; -Our public schools and our, private schools should*all the time empha-. size the fact that education is not intended to enable its possessor to get rid of labor, but to enable him to labor to better advantages, whether ’ on a farm, in the Workshop, in -the counting room or in the learned nrnfession. 'v. , I ■:-X Wk‘ - V>J -.y: s y x:M X V "fh:' Our system of public education should be made pood enough to be patronized by all classes of our peo ple. I am proud of many of our ex-T cellent graded schools in the cities because of the fact that they not on ly educate the chilren properly, but" because they so powerfully illustrate the efficiency and. softy of public ed ucation. I wish thaf -Aj it ■-- every citizen of the State could visit these schools and leaan their wort and methods; We nStist get rid of the ideas tljat prevail among some people that toe prime idea in public education is charity, and recognize it as of ne cessity for the State’s advancement.. When we look upon education in this way we will not say that it Is robbery to tax one man to educate another man's children. But excase inc, I did not mean to write so Yours truly, S, H. Fikoeb. -M > -.iii -c mm *
