' : The people of Montgomery : Stan ly and "upper-Richmond are detenu-: ' ined to .have a railroad, and we ap plaud their earnest efForts to i that 1 end.. We make the assertion, and ?we defy Us successful contradiction, . that no section of North -Carolina is richer in natural resources miner-: als, timber, water powers and fertile eoilHthan upper Rich mond and. Stanly" aind Montgomery - counties, and et th,e people of those sections are hampered and their energies cramped 'for Uje want of communi cation with the outside world. Of what benefit is it to them to produce 4 surplus of corn, or cotton, or oats, or meat?. It would cost them the worth of it to get it to market. The virgin forests will not yield their wealth because Hhe timber is not accessible to the markets. As fine water powers as can be found in the United States lie idle because they are remote from the highways of traffic. Those people are tired of dragging along inHhe paths of pov- x rtyj surrounded by wealth which they cannot utilize, and they pro pose to shake ofi the yoke; they are determined to have access to the markets of the world. Now the question is, will Rock ingham and Richmond county ex tend to them a helping hand and get the benefit of the trade from that section, or shall the road be allowed to go to Wadesboro, Fayetteville or pome other point, and thus rob Rock Ingham of the rad,e that naturally . belongs to her and without which jshe must languish ? Already subscriptions books are open for a railroad from Albemarle, Stanly county, to Fayetteville, and the subscriptions are piling up. The people of Rowan and Stanly are . moving in the matter of a road from Salisbury to Norwood, Stanly coun ty, and, if we mistake not, elections have already been ordered in Rowan and Stanly, counties to vote a sub fieri ption of $100,000 each to the en terprise. Another; projected line is to continue the p. Fifc Y. V. branch pad from Ashboro to Troy, Mont gomery county. Some of .these roads will be built no question about that. These are no "Windy Billy" projects, agi tated for speculative purposes, but are inaugurated by Railroad Com panies pow doing business in North Carolina, and by the people of - upper RiCHitONp, Stanly and Mont gomery. Thfey need the road and .are ready and willing to help build it; aid. very naturally, the. people of upper Richmond want it to come to Rockingham. ' Can Rockingham afford to let it pass her by ? Notlf she expects her present industries to thrive and to - multiply. Much of the trade that now comes lrere would go elsewhere, . and the town would be seriously crippled. On theother hand, if the road should come here we would get practically all the Little River trade 1 . and -hi uch from Stanly and Mont gomery counties.". But enough for the present; we jBhalf have more to say next week . probably. -'Pending the railroad meeting to be held in Rockingham on the" 12th of July we trust that our business men and citizens generally, .will give the' matter serious consid- eration. , , : ' ' ; - It turns, out that the appeal for y ;.

Eeply to "Lower Eichmoni" Correspondence of The Rocket. L Editor Rocket: As we expected, the howling of ruinous tax salutes us. It 13 an admitted fact that rail road tax is not ruinous but is a fore shadow of wealth and prosperity. Your correspondent of last week's issue, "Lower Richmond," has fired off what lower Richmond has done for upper Richmond. He says they have built us a railroad, court house. jail and public roads. Next he will be off on our coon-skin country where the bull frogs can wade our largest streams without wetting their collar bones. Now for the benefit of the donkeys of lower Richmond, we want to tell them that this coon skin country, once on a time, owned the wealth of the county, and paid the tax to a great extent. It was this property that brought the Carolina Central railroad and helped them to get -their tail over the dash-board. But since they have gotten this road and are going at the rate of 2.40, they have forgotten this coon-skin country. The Criminal Docket will show where all the court business comes from, and it will show too that the majority comes from their land of flowers,. Who is it then, that needs the court house and jail? Certainly not the coon-skin people We were.-told by one of these fellows that he was opposed to the building of this road and would vote against it. Rut, individually, he would give $500 to help build "it. What mag nanimity! What. a grand and pa triotic impulse ! What love for the dear people! Why if we could get 99 more like him we could build the road it would not cost us a coon skin. We are not, however, an ob ject of charity and don't want it in that way. We want it as an invest ment for the county, that all good citizens can point to it and say, " What a grand old county we have." I would like to say to these howlers, whose belljes arebigger than their brains, that we do not want and do not expect them to build us a rail road. And their -hissins, howlins and braying will amount to noth- ng, as they do not know-but that l.aurinburg is the whole world. I hope they will never find out any better; that they may remain in theirGarden ol Eden and enjoy it to their fullest. His intimation that our omective point wa3 to strike Rockingham, ' while partially true, 1 would inform him that we live more than a dozen miles above Rockingham and have no per sonal interest in the place, but think t would oe detrimental to the m- erests of the wholecountshould it not strike Rockingham -and go out by "bcotch paradise" : or, in other words, keep it in the county. Now, while we know this nonsense and bigotted egotism is not the sen timent of the good people of lower Kicbmond, we appeal to the good people, and in candor, ask the level headed business men if it would not be a good 'investment to build this road. We think that 850.000 would rade the road the 20 or 25 miles through this county, and we claim hat the wealth it would brina into the county would ten fold repay the taxpayer!, as. the 'Carolina Central railway -has clearly demonstrated that railroads do not burden or in jure a county, in the long run, but help to,teartheburden,of taxation: and wejurther claim that the water powers lying idle, frooxRockineham to Salisbury, are sufficient to manu- tacture all the cotton grown in North Carolina; Further, that the timber along the route, would build three such railroads: and it is a noto rious fact that the annual expenses lor transportation above Rockmor. ham to Montgomery is not less than $10,000, Now can any- man with a thimbleful, of sense fail to see why we want, and intend having, a rail road to develop this fine section and . 1 1. : . v . -. . . . pave mis annual expense r -JNOW in getting bur road, would'it be to the interest of the county to send our trade by Fayetteville, Wadesboro, or Salisbury'? Is it not plain if we, of ine upper end, have it to build, tha we will be forced to do it on the cheapest plan, ? .Who tbenwill be at fault? We are trying to eq shape h mat our towns and villages can nave a chance at the trade. Can ou business men, and good people b lower RicKmbndeit by and let this iiuwung ignorance -arive irom our county this immense wealth W the cry of ruinous tax ?

Should - i the good people of lower lichmond let the tax howlers, who never paid 15 . cents of "any kind of tax, defeat this great measure,"then we say if you mean "war, you shall have it to the knife and the knife to he hilt, and your lovely Scotch town we love so well can go where Ward s. cats went ; and jou can keep up your court house and jail- at Rockingham and we will fight vou until : freezes and take a little on the ice. Further, we will never urnish you with another postmaster. We mean business, and don't you orget it. Take the case, gentlemen. . .Taxpayer. , PINE BUS Gathered in the Tar-Heel State.
