Thank you, Doctor. ' Congressman W. T. Crawford, ac companied by Mr. T7. R. Eldridge, one of the United States Government ex perts from Washington, talked to the people of Henderson county at the opera house on Monday. And what a message these two gen tlemen have to give to the people of this district. In language so simple a child may understand it, with pictures of a marvelous beauty, they are trying to tell the farmer how he may benefit him self and his children, at practically no was too great for the department to sup ply, and that he would be obliged to re fuse.

You have the material here, and advance the material interests of the whole community. Mr. Crawford said that the people of Western North Carolina . are , steadily pushing to the front. It is his ambition to make their home life still pleasanter to them, and to that end he wants the rural routes extended all over this dis trict, but that the postoffioe department reports against extending them because the roads are so bad. To re medy - this he wishes to create the desire for better roads. He said he went to the Secre tary of Agriculture and told him that he wanted men from the department to to come to his district and talk' to the people here about good roads and about you have the brains, all that is lacking is possibly the desire.

We have, after a long struggle, secured a proposition to achieve this great result upon the terms of unprecedented fairness to our people. This proposition is covered by the terms of the election called by the County Commissioners and will secure to us the following results betore a payment Is made of a penny by our people. 1st. The railroad has to be completed and in opera tio according to the terms of the contract and on regular schedule. - . ; . 2nd. When this is done, then and before delivery of the public aid toonds, there has to be delivered to the County Commissioner! the capital stock subscribed for; at that time the railroad company must have issued its first mortgage bonds for twenty thousand dollars per mile and further have provided for the additional issue I ot said first mortgage bonds for five thousand dollars per mile with which to retire the capital stock subscribed for and to protect the interest thereon, ($25,000 per mile for each purpose.) . 3rd, fhe railroad company cannnot avail itself of this reserve fund, which in due course of business it will be compelled to use, until the stock subscribed for by the public is swapped for the first mortgage bonds. '4th. Note that the railroad must be completed and than is subject to taxation before any payment is made by our people. r . ' ' ... 5th. The new revenue in taxes secured to the people is about equal to the interest on the public aid bonds in any view of the case, thus making it a first-clas busines proposition. . " , 6th. "When in due course the people have received the mortgage bonds then we will be m position of having secured this great public development at no cost,' and the public will participate not only in the taxes on the rail road directly assesed but in the increased taxation result ing from enterprises, development of toxyns, increase of population of those already in existence and all other sources of revenue accumulation in a growing and more rapidly developing section. .". V - v SUMMARY. We are offered this great develop ment if we invest a small percentage jf its cost in its securities under such terms thatour money is oh an equal ity with the money put in the property by the parties building it, and our chances of loss are eliminated by the" transfer to the public aid subscribers of the first mortgage bonds which are, of course, ahead of all other classes of securities issuable; and this proposition gives to the railroad company only the opportunity to get the property in good working order from the day it commences con struction to the day when the property should - be come 'self-sustaining.'' - ;'V'j ' - 'rc''S The subscription to this proposition should, of course be carried -bye very county, to which it is submitted,' and thus give assurance that our people are not afraid to in- , vesting within our own borders;. A failure to vote for the proposition is a vote against our progress I . "The Optimistic Hustler Under the above caption the Baleigh -. 1 ... . . .
