Col. 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

.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.

•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.”

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

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.
