Why You Should Vole For Bonils!
Because a competing railroad is a necessity.
Few people, comparatively speaking, ride over a railroad, while everybody uses salt, sugar, cof
fee, etc. Freights from Baltimore to Asheville are %s high as from Baltimore to Memphis, Tenn., 400
miles farther. Why? Simply because the Southern has no Competition. Everybody is interested
in freight rates, and all will be benefitted by a competing line. The Southern can now permit its
roadbed to get out of repair until it becomes a menace to the lives of its passengers. With a com
peting road it would be compelled to give a safe and attractive seryice or get no business. If we had
a competing road in the county our shippers would not be compelled to wait for weeks and beg for
cars in which to load their freight as at present.
* •' r-
Because we cannot get ^he road in any other way.
•
Capitalists demand that the counties in which their investments are made shall subscribe $3,000
per mile to the capital stock of the road, in order to demonstrate that our people are friendly and will
protect their property. No bonds, no road—this is the ultimatum—and if we,fail the road will go to
other counties where people are more progressive. Henderson county has voted bonds by a big ma
jorit3"—what will Transylvania do? * _
Because it will bring in other industries.
Railroads are great developers. The water fJbwers, timber and minerals of this mountain sec
tion will attract capital as soon as a great trunk line is built through it. A direct conaection with the
cotton fields of the south will bring mills and factorirs, while a trunk line to the great northwest will
bring fu 'niture, hub and spoke and other wood working plants to our never-ending water powers and
vast timber region.
%
Because those sections of the county that have no rail
road are as much entitled to their benefits as are those
which have a road.
Hogback, Gloucester and Ea=itatoe should remember that it was the voters of the sections already
supplied which extended the road ten miles above Brevard for their benefit. It is now their duty to
reciprocate for the benefit of the Pinkbed, Dunn«^^ Rock and Cedar Mountain sections that will be
served by the Trans-Continental, and it is the duty of all to help them by voting for bonds.
Because as soon as work begins on a competing line
the Southern will be compelled to build the extension
from Rosman to Seneca.
This is not a guesswork proposition. The Southern has no freight route out of these mountains
to the south. Nine tenths of the coal consumed by factories in Greenville and the piedmont section
is hauled around by Bristol and over its main line. That line has more business than it can handle
and the Spartanburg line has a grade that prohibits heavy traffic. The survey to Seneca has been
made and it is known that the road down can be built with a 2 per cent grade. This means an add!
lion of approximately ten miles of new road for taxation and the increase in value of the entire Toxa-
way branch from $6,000 per mile to*at least $22,000 per mile. Every voter should be able to see that
voting the bobds would be a valuable investment for the entire county.
Because this is the road our county has always wanted.
This was the first road for which our people ever voted bonds, and it is the road that will bring
more direct benefit to Transylvania county than any that can be built. Hundreds of our people are
working in cotton mills in the south, and this road will bring the cotton mills to us. All of our farm
products find a market in the south, and the round about routes of transportation cut down the farm
er’s price below cost. A competing direct line means money in the pockets of every man who sells a
bushel of potatoes, apples, or a crate of cabbage.
Because it will benefit every man in the county.
This is a summer resort section and the more railroads we have the more visitors will come here.
The more visitors we have the higher will be the price of farm and garden products, milk, butter,
eggs, chickens, and labor—everybody in the county will be benefitted.
Because they cost the county nothing.
We get the full amount of bonds in capital stock of the Railroad Company: We get the road and
equipment for taxation before the bonds are issued, and the tax on this property will more than pay
interest on the bonds and money to retire them at maturity.
Because there has not been an argument advanced
against bonds.
We have repeatedly asked any n^an in the county who knows a valid reason why the bonds should
not be voted, and no reply has reached this oflfice. Were there good reasons for opposing the bonds
we should most assuredly have an opportunity to print them.
Because we have a progressive citizenship.
This is the paramount reason why we should vote >bonds to aid the Trans continental railroad.
We are building better churches, new and more commodious school buildings, and improving our pub
lic highways. We might as well return to the bridle-path and trail of our ancesters as to deny our
people better railroad facilities by defeating the bond issue. In order to retain the reputation we
have honestly earned—a reputation for enterprise, progress and thrift, you will
VOTE FOR BONDS!
Hendrson Goonty Votes
for Bonds.
A Clear Majority of Over 400 in
Favor of the New Railroad.
The news that Henderson coun
ty, the first of the counties to
vote on the question, has given a
handsome majority for bonds
will be encouraging news to the
people of Transylvania county,
who, like Henderson are vitally
interested in the project.
The message from Henderson
ville stated that 1198 votes had
been cast in favor of the bonds
with four votes against in Hen
dersonville. Under the law gov
erning tho election it was neces
sary for the bond measure to re
ceive not only a majority of the
votes cast but a majority of the
registered and qualified vote, the
stay-away vote counting against
the measure. The people of Hen
derson did that very thing.
They rolled up a clear majority
of between 400 and 500 of all qual
ified votes on the^ registration
books. There are 15 voting pre
cincts in Henderson county and
every precinct with the excep
tion of two gave a majpr.ity for
bonds. It is stated that there
are probably 1,600 or 1,700 quali
fied voters and that the 1,198
cast in favor of the bonds is am
ple to give a majority oi at least
400 in favor of bonds. Hender
son has taken the lead. It is be
lieved that Tiiansylvania will give
as large a percentage of its regis
tered vote in favor of the Trans
continental Railroad, but those
who favor it should not remain
idle. We must work until the
polls close next Thursday.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining: of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflafiied you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
ihflamation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
Caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hairs Cattarh Cure. Send for circu
