Why Every Citizen Should Vote For The Railroad. Brunswick County has had for over thirty years a hard struggle in the race of life, laboring under the disad vantage and inconvenience of being shut of! from the rest of the world, for the" want of cheap transportation and communication. Her forests are filled with timbers not equalled by any County in the State and yet her land3 in a number of instances, are worth not more than 50 cent3 pir acre, owing to the inability of her people to get their timber and produce to mar ket, and that while the timber on each acre is worth fifty to one hundred dollars. Now this proposed road will traverse every township in the County, save probably one, and according to the judgment of the chief engineer will have seventy -seven miles in the County As a business proposition will it pay to subscriU; ? The interest on the proposed debt will be six thousand dollars per year. And the question naturally arises, what revenue will the County derive from the road? To judge of this we must go to the Records and see what similar railroads pay in the way of taxes. As this road would nearly correspond with tho Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta railroad, which runs into Wilmington, and there has its terminal, we will see what that road is assessed for taxation. The road bed, franchise, etc., lying in New Hanover County (not includ ing real estate, town lots) is $119.19 per mile. At this rate 77 miies of road, etc., would make an assessment of $917. 7G3 which at G( cnts-tax, would yield an annual revenue of over six thousand dollars per year, hearer 7,000, which would make the County receive a revenue from the railroad alone, more than enough to pay the expenses incurred. But it will -surely follow, so surely as the shadow follows the the sub stance, that the town property at Southport,-and the. lands -along-the ine of the 77 miles of road will be enhanced to an amount two or three times their present value, and the taxes derived therefrom, as also from llio railroad shops at Southport. and from the villages which will surely spring up at Easy Hill, Town Creok, Shallotte, Lockwoods Folly Bridge and Pine-way" Ferry, will yield the County double the revenue derived from the railroad alone. Now can any citizen, any lover of our grand old County gainsay this? Thohouruf Brunswick's deliverance has come . South nor t. will be ' t.Ko o-rpnt. seanort of tho ' South whieh iinlnrn , L - tj- alwavs intended it. should ho" so rallv around the banner of progress, connect Southport and Chicago, and Bruns- wick will yet be the richest County in the State.
