RAK.HUAItH IN NORTH CARO
LINA.
The Wilmington Stnr, in the court oi
un Article on railroadt in the South,
lakt at follows of the work bcim; clone
in this State:
"Ween n call to mini) nliout fourteen
romls upon which work it now in pro
Kress or which hnve Ix-en completed
within the past year, I-'mirtcenrouds as
dcveloiert of dillcri-nt portions of the
state means tmnetliui); unci points lo a
progress in the future with which the
progress in the past will near no com
parison.
Among these two arc of especial mac.
nituilc ami signiticancr, the Western
North Carolina railroad, the other the
Cape i'etiratid Yadkin Valley road, both
now Hearing completion. The former,
after long and arduous conflict with its
many opposing mountain barrier, has
now overcome them (ill, found rest in the
peaceful levels of the valley of Valley
river, and will toon reach the haven
where it would he, the terminus at the
present little town of Murphy, iu its
turn to become the populous city, the
teat of enormous manufacturing indus
tries. Thus the consummation is ap
proaching of the idea conceived sixty
yeart ago when the extremes of the
States, the farthest western mountain
boundury and the eastern shore washed
by the waves of the Atlantic ocean
should be linked bv unbroken chain ol
more than five hundred miles in length,
a truly North Carolina road, nllogclhei
within the borders of the Stale.
Not less n State line is the Coe Fear
and Yadkin Valley road, the outgrowth
of the original Western road from Fay
etteville to the coal fields in Chatham,
forty miles in length, develoied into it
present magnitude, connecting unothci
section of our mountain territory will
another point uhhi our sea coast, and
ulso, like the line first numed, nltogethei
within our own boundaries. This line
extends from Mount Airy, at the foot ol
the lllue Kidge, tu Wilmington, near thr
mouth of the Cae Fear river, and at the
head of ship navigation, a distance ol
!iH miles, the whole line, with a branch
of 57 miles to Hennettsville, S. C, an
other brunch of twenty mites to the fac
tories iu Randolph county and another
to Muilistin in Rockingham nf twelve
miles, making a grand total of .131
milei. Sixty-two miles of the road be
tween Fayette vi lie and Wilmington is
finished and in use, and the remaining
twenty-two miles in such an advanced
state of construction that the whole
will I oieued for traffic on the first ol
February.
The work of internal improvement in
North Carolina was uphill labor. It
wot discouraged by the fate of the first
efforts of vigorous but incxcricneed en
ergies. Antedating railroads was the at
tempt to improve waterways; and on
every large stream in the State was
ought to solve the problem of artificial
navigation. Failure attended every elTort,
bringing loss and disappointment and
everlasting disgust, and more fatal still,
distrust in all proHimtions to buttle with
the obstacles of nuture. Hut when the
rnilroad era dawned, it seemed to intro
duce conditions so different that railroad
construction was entered into with an
enthusiasm that was little lesstlianmad
nest. For Wilmington, with npopulntin
of only 3,(lltl souls, while and black, tin-
dertook the construction of the road to
Weldon, KM miles, anil completed it, the
greatest human effort ever achieved by
to small and poor a body of men. Ral
eigh, with a population somewhat less
than that of Wilmington, with the aid ol
the population along the lire, with cipml
ardor and energy undertook the building
of a road to (iiislon, on the Roanoke
river, and completed it. Hut to both it
was an exhaustive effort, and to large ex
tent premature, Ixt'uusc both Wilmington
and Ruleigll were defective in terminal
connections. The eventual consequence
was the loss of investments by the orig
inal stockholders; and though both those
roads have now become great and inval
uable links in the great continental chain
of communication, they became so
through the work and meant of other
men and other corporations. Their tem
porary disaster brought a long blight
tiHn all similar enterprises The building
of the North Carolina road, now, with its
connections, the greut artery of the State,
wot only secured by the sacrifice of nil
political hnie, and for a time, all reputa
tion for sagacity, by the bra ve act of
Calvin (irnvet, nf Cuswell, who gave the
casting vote, as president of the senate,
for the bill which granted the charter; to
delicate was the balance of opinion be
tween those who thought railroadt a
blessing and those who denounced them
at n curse.
Thought has now changed ; and while
we look abroad, rather than at home,
lor money to build our roads, we go on
with the work until now we have 2,700
milct of railroad within our borders,
and arc adding what will toon bring the
length up to 3,000; and now few voices
arc lifted up againtt the railroads.
AN ArPKAI. foiiABI.Y WITH
OUT CAl'BK.
Wc looked In the Newt-Observer of
8unday for tome allusion to the petition
of the iter. T. id.Joyner tu the British
Minittef, Sir Julian I'auncefort, in refer
ence to alleged violence committed on
him and hit wife by ft mob at Holly
Springs, N. C in July last. Probably
the uext issue of the News-Observer will
give us the information expected. Wc
do not believe there is a word of truth in
the complaint. Holly Springs is a little
cross roads hamlet about fifteen miles
south of Raleigh, ill Wuke county, with
its postofhee, country store, church and
school house, and surrounded by cotton
plantations, Here, the reverend gentle
man alleges that, while giving religious
and other instruction to negroes, the
neighbors became to incensed at what lie
was doing, that they broke into his house,
and maltreated himself and wife, firing u
volley into the room where he and his
wife were sitting, wounding him iu three
places, his wife being also struck by bul
lets, and also knocked down by the fist
of one of the mnsked mob.
It is very strange that nothing of the
outrage hat reached the public until
now. Our papers are never reticent in
regard to such acts of violence, always
prompt to give them publicity, and un
sparing in denouncing the perpetrators
It was impossible for such gross violence
to have escaped the knowledge ol the
people or the press at Raleigh, only fif
teen miles distant. Nor is it the habit ol
our people to interfere with the religious
or other instruction of the negroes, un
less it Ik of such kind as to incite to vio
lence. On the contrary, every encour
agement has lx'cn given to every effort
to enlighten and educate them.
I'nlil we have information to the con
trary, we shall believe that the Rev. Mr,
Joyncr has drawn lilierally or a email
imagination.
I S. Since writing the above, our
noon telegrams of yesterday informed us
that the News-Observer, after due in
quiry, will emphatically contradict the
whole story of the alleged Rev. Mr. Joy
ncr. It is as we expected, false and
without Inundation.
UAIRIKH.
Ill a late numU-r of the C.rci-nsboro
Workman we find the following results
of the enterprise of" Mr. !. W. C. Hen
Ihjw's establishment of a dairy farm near
l.recnsboro:
It will lie of interest to a number of
our reailers to see IT. Hculiow s dairy
report for the year ISS'.I, as bill lew ikt
ins probablv know how much milk is
required to make n pound of butter.
('nitons of milk chinned, ll.o'.is; yield
of butter iu pounds. .tti'J; average 1 lb
outter Iroin loi quarts milk : consumed
at the liolet, 4-.SO0 gallons of fresh milk,
anil tally as many lbs. of butter.
This is independent of the pigs and the
poultry fattened in connection with the
dairy operations, or of the veal and
uber meats furnished from the surplus
siock, or from the vegetables and fruits
iiirnished from ground made fertile bv
the application otitic manures accumu
lated from the slock of cattle on the
farm, no insignificant addition to the
profits or conveniences of the under
taking.
Now, I 'i. Kcnhow lias contended
against disadvantages which do not oli
struct the larmcrs in this mountain sec
tion. The soil around ('ircciislmro is
thin and tiaturally poor; the lorest
growth iK-lrays that. Orass is not in
digenous, and is made to thrive onlv
with much painstaking. All the condi
tions of dairy farming in that section (in
artificial, and success follows only great
labor, and much cost of lime and money.
Yet I r. Ilenliow has suceeded brilliantly
and his larm is a model one in ilt beauty
and its productiveness. What has been
done against na'.ure, can lie done here
with ten fold results when nature is so
kindly mid invites so earnestly to the
work.
We would lie glad if some of our dairy
men would let us know what they have
done. Their information will largely
encourage others.
The world is very apt at calling names
on the principle ol giving that dog a bad
name is the surest way to get rid of him
A bad name given to a good cause is un
effective way to bring it into odium, and
also to justify some things that justice
and huniatiity might not approve. Wc
know and feel tlie cllcct of the terms
rclK'tlioti, reliel and traitor, and are re
minded uf the wrongful application of
such words by finding the word "insur
gent" applied to the Kople of east Africa
who arc resisting the occupation of their
couutrv bv the dcrmim forces under
Capt. Wiseman. Wc have no txvial
love or sympathy with those tame east
Africans. They are savage, blood thirsty.

country, upon their own soil; and by the
laws of nature mid of nations are enti
tled to repel all intruders. Call them
anything else than insurgents. They
may lie murderers, slave dealers, robbers,
pagan, everything that is bad. Hut they
are defending what is t heir's, lliry are in
insurrection against no government that
can claim their allegiance, When they
are conquered, when they submit, and
then, when they rebel, it will lie time tu
call bad names.
