It Im llrclded to Auk The Comity ConniilNHluucrH to Cull an lCIec lion lo Vote on S,uo,ooo l or Additional Kallroads. There was a l.ugc crowd ol citizens of Buncombe and iuljoininj; counties in the court house toihiy when Oui. RoIktI Ii. Vance called to order the railroad mass' mcctitiK which was the result o( the initiatory inectinj in the Ashcvillc club rooms recently, the uhjeet bcin the taking of definite stcis that would lead to Letter railroad facilities fur Ashcville, Buncombe and other counties adjacent. Gen. Vance in opening the meeting said the ny was one most ii.-.oi taut lo not Hun combe alone, but to all of Western North Carolina, and hoped the )coplc would fully appreciate the importance of the work to be done. lie jnve several instances ol discrimination against this section by the Kiehmoud and Danville in the matter ol Ircijihls, and said the only way to briiiR down freight rates was to have competition. ISunc mbe was able to subscribe $-l-00,000 to the projected railroads, and the speaker ua ve fiRures showing that the tax on this amount would be but lit) cents 011 the $100 worth of property for each taxpayer in the county. 1 Ie extended a warm welcome to visitors from other States and coun ties. I)- A. Thomris of GafTncy City, S. C, the first speaker, said that his county had already surveyed a line nl railroad into Polk county, and wanted mi outlet through Buncombe to the west. His county, Spartanburg, would be ready with a subscription ul bonds lor this road. The road would give this section connection with the Sniih and the sea board. Capt. rcurson, a delegate from l'olk, said his county was willini; and anxious to have a line from Itristol through Ashc ville and l'olk and 011 to Chester, S. C. With such a line his county would be able to market its vast fruit crops. Fitly thousand dollars' worth ol bonds had already been voted that was availa ble for a railroad on the Hues laid oul. The best point for the line to cross the mountains would be Reedy l'alch gap and running through the Chimney Kuck and Broad river country. W. A. dash, a Transylvania county delegate, said his county hail reached thai point where a railroad was abso lutely necessary. In his county, he said, he could show sevt-al g.ips through which a road eoldd cross the mountains that could not be equaled as a crossing be I wem his county aud Kalnin, Ga. Due mining company alone in Tiausylvan;a is now paying more than $1,000 a month to teamsters for transporting its Ircights. The dillieulty ol a want of competing railroad facilities confronts our people in all their enterprises aud is an effectual block to the progress of this favored section. . - J. K. Freeman of llcinle.ion said: The development of Western North Carolina is the question of the hour. Henderson county stands ready to do her great part in the movement lor new railroads: you mav put her down for a subscription tu the full amount that the law allows. I r. J. A. Kcagan, Weaverville, said he had studied the railroad question and felt that a new line was a coining neces sity, but that he only favored the issue ol bonds to such roads as would meet Buncombe at her lines and to such he would give a good subscription. Dr. I. A. Harris, of Flat Creek, said that he was sure that when a i;ood plan was presented to the people, looking to the immediate pushing of the work of n new road they would undoubtedly go ahead and build the road. Capt. Natt Atkinson offered a set ol csolutions which provided lor the is suance of $500,000 worth of bonds for the benefit of several roads. In support of his resolutions Capt. Atkinson said that he was lor a road to Bristol lirst. The amounts named for subscription look large, but when the immense benefits to be derived are laken into consideration they are very small. The road to Bristol must he n first class one in every resp.ct; a onc horse uffair min t do. i lie road South is equally important and will deposit the rich and abundant products of the French Broad valley in the lap of the mountain city. Nobody need be scared, for not one cent of the bonds will be issued till the roads arc built. The counties must contribute liln-rally to meet the contributions of the capitalists who provide the cash. Inter est the people t every nook and corner of the interested eounticsand in this way only will the contemplated project carry lo success and benefit all the people for a hundred years and more. The resolutions were further discussed by S. R. Kep'cr, R. P. Walker, Kev. Jas. Atkins, president of Ashcville Female' college, Col. L.M. Hatch, Gco.S. Powell, Thomas Hula and T. C. Stai nes, and the following, as part of Capt. Atkinson's resolutions was adopted: Tlie AlkloHou Renolullon "Resolved, That the Hon. J. II. Merri mon. Capt. M. Ii. Carter and J. S. Adams be aud they are hereby consti tuted a committee whose duty it shall In to prepare a suitable and proper propo sition to lc submitted to the commis sioners of Buncombe county to submit to the voters of this county that we as a county may subscribe stock (to such railroad charter as may lie deemed the lost advantageous) $100,()IO to aid in building a railroad towards Bristol or some other point on the Norfolk and Western road." Capt. Atkinson's resolution favoring an appropriation of $100,000 for a road to Brevard was introduced, discussed and finally adopted unanimously. Aldermen T. C. Sturnes offered the fol lowing resolution : "That the County Commissioners he requested to order an election on the question of appropriating $100,000 to a road towards Knoxville via Ixricester, and $100,000 for a ro.id towards Ruth erford via or near Fairvicw. In the event that 110 through line shall be com pleted towards Knoxville, then $50,000 shall be subscribed to build a narrow gauge or other road in the direction ol Sandy Mush, and $50,000 for a similar road to or near Hickory Nut gap." This was defeated. The following resolution by Jerome Freeman was adopted: "Resolved, That all counties couth of Buncombe be notified of the action taken at this meeting and that tbey be requested to co-operate with the meas. urcs proposed in all legitimate ways and especially that iu case it is contemplated to hold elections in any such counties on proposition of subscription to railroads leading in the direction of Buncombe county, that such election be held at an early day and if practicable at the same tune as the proposed election in Bun come county." This concluded the incclnig's business anil it aiiourncci. V. M. C.
