EXPLANATORY.
Some pages of this issue are
solidly advertising pages, and
there is a reason for it. Wb have
been expecting for two weeks a
shipnient of newspaper from
Richmond, but it hasn’t arrived
yet. We w^ent to Asheville; as
we did last week, hoping to sup
ply T^ur wants temporarily, but
could not tind a ream of 5 col.
paper there. We secured barely
enough for our regular issue and
had it cut down from 6*col. to 5-
col. When we got back home
there w'as an- order on the hook
for 35 extra copies. This made
it necessary to print a'salf-sheet
for our foreign subscribers, and
in order to give them all the home
news we were compelled to
crowd it into 4 pages. Our paper
will get here some day, and
things will get right again, but
until this happens we hope our
readers will bear wnth us.
Railroad Election Ordor.
of the Board of County Commis
sioners of Transylvania County,
North Carolina:
At a meeting duly, legally and re^ut.
larly called and held by the Board of
Commissionei's of Transylvania coun
ty, in the court house in said county,
on the 9ih day of September, 1907, it
being made to appear to said Board
that a Igirge number of the citizens of
said county have* subscribed to the
capital stock of the South Atlantic
Ti'ans-ContinentalRailroad Company,
and have been engaged in an effort to
build a railroad through Transylva
nia county in a way by which said
railroad will be independent in its
operations, thereby securing the best
rates that competition will make for
our people.
Aud whereas a petition signed by
tiily citizens of the county has been
duly presented to this Board in ac
cordance with the charter of said
South Atlantic Trans-Continental
R lilroad Company.
And whereas the best interest and
prosperity of Transylvania county
depends greatly upon the construction
of said railroad. .
And whereas, the construction of
said raili*oad will bring directly into
the county taxable property of several
million dollars, to say nothing of
taxable property that will flow into
said county by reason of said rail
road.
And whereas, the wisest financial
policy for the county will be subserved
oy extending to the construction of
sa'd railroad material aid by said
county.
And whereas, the subscription here-
inbelow mentioned is necessary to aid
in the construction of said railroad,
in w^hich the citizens of the county
have an interest.
Therefore it is ordered by the Board
that the question of subscription to
the capital stock of said company in
the sum of THREE THOUSAND DOL
LARS per mile of railroad for each
mile constructed within the county,
which amount this board proposes to
subscribe to be paid in county bonds
to mature in not less than thirty years
with'4 per cent, interest coupons at
tached, payable semi-annually at the
place-proyided for in said bonds, the
interest on said bonds and the bonds
the T selves a^ maturity to be paid by
taxation as provided by law, shall be
submitted to the qualified voters of
said county, as provided by charter of
said company and Chapter 61, Vol. 1,

lina; on the 17th day of October, 1907,

amount of stock agreed on by the
Board of County Commissioners, at
which election the said voters shall
vote a ticket as follows: Those favor
ing the subscription shall vote a tick
et upon which shall be written or
printed “ror Subscription,” and
those opposed shall yote a ticket upon*
which shall be written or printed
“Against Subscription,” and if the
majoritv of the voters of said county
shall vote for subscription, then the
Board of County Commissioners,
through their chairman, shall sub
scribe to the capital stock of said
company the sum of THREE THOU
SAND DOLLARS per mile of railroad '
to be constructed within the county,
to be paid in bonds as specified above,
which said bonds shall only be issued
upon the conditions following, viz.:
The said bonds shall not be issued
and delivered to the said company or
a»ny one else until after said conip8>Dy
or its assigns shall havtV completed
and equipp>ed for operation a stan
dard gauge railroad, in compliance
with construction contract submitted
for inspection of the board at this
dat-e, from the northerly or easterly
boundary of the county,.the southerly
boundary of the county, or from a
point at or near Brevard, following
the routes provided by the charter, in
sections of ten miles each, until the
entire railroad shall have been com
pleted, it being understood that ten
miles of railroad shall be completed
in accordance with the construction
contract and certificate of the chief
engineer as to such completion filed in
the office of the Board of County Com
missioners before any payment shall
be made upon this subr^eription, and
thereafter in the same ma-nner for each
succeeding ten miles; and provided
further, that, when said conditions
have been complied with, then the said
Board of Commissioners shall issue
and pay to said railroad company the
