road if he is elected. And if he
does this, it will be worth more
to Buncombe county than all
else. Certainly i every man,
woman - and child is inter
ested in this road, especially the
farmers, for they are the
principle consumers of , the
goods shipped here,and they have
to pay the extra per cent, caused
by the enormous freights.
The tobacco planter is doubly
interested in this road. Freights
are so high, he looses at least 25
per cent, on his tobacco that he
could save if this road was com
pleted. Now if there is a loss of
25 per cent, and you make 3,000
lbs you loose 7.50 on your crop,
if there are 500 tobacco planters it
cost them 53,750,00 and if you let
it go ten years it will be $37,500.00.
So you see what it costs your to
bacco crops, to let this road alone,
and it is the same witli everything
else you have to handle," especial
ly to buy. Now let us stop this
by sending Pearson and some oth

him to the Legislature. Hoping
it will meet your approbation to

Now taking the names of the
19 pledged delegates, it is rea
sonable to suppose that all or a
greater portion the 19 unpledged
delegates aro in full sympathy
and support of the resolution
adopted June 14, .1SSL If this
is the. case, Asheville,' at least,
can comfort itself with the hope
and expectation that the nomin
ees of the Convention will be
men sound on the Railroad ques
tion, aud for us in this fightj this
caii be expected, as far as Ashe
ville Township delegates are con.
ccrned. And it cannot be doubt
ed for a moment that the other
Townships in the county are not
in as perfect accord with usi, and
in fealty as true, as their inter
ests and ours are .identical;' they
to sell us their products, (espe
cially tobacco)" and Asheville's
obligation to . have a Southern
outlet for her manufactured to
bacco aud other products. ;
Although this, Canvass on
the Democratic side is on-higher
grounds, than expediency and
policy. The Convention might as
well recognize the fact, that uu
less they put in the field, men
pledged and true on the . Rail
