Km tor: Our citizens are pleased with the sction of the legislature in its refusal to sell the Slate's stock in the A. .V N. ('. K. K. for 8UO,f00. Jt is worth more money, but even at its fair valua tion we consider a sale to the syndicate mentioned as inimical to the best inter ests of I lie people living along tho line, and as opposed 10 the "w ishes of the gieat majority of the private stock holders. Never! heless, for the good of the State 1 he loud itself, its stockholders and pat ions, it should be disposed of and taken o'.it of politics. Tlie Democratic party in eastern North Carolina would especially l.e gieatly heneniert by having this dis uirliing element taken off its hands. The many years of ihe road's existence leach us that il cannot be properly managed by political methods- As a factor in politics il has ever been derogatory lo l lie best interests of the parly and has coiilribiite.il occasionally towards, if not caused, its defeat. On the other hand, political and not economic reasons have been the principal guides of its various managements. Presidents and directors, agents and employes ate not appointed 10 positions by virtue of elliciency or capability,,!)!- because it might be sup posed they would till the positions to enhance the value of the property, or lo serve the interest of stockholders, the travelling public and shippers. Oh! Not at all. The ollices are he slowed as political pullB for party service '.Dnl iifilitienl n M no ,,,', Tlie man w ho can manipulate votes knows how to run a railroad of course It is supposed that names of persons have lieen on the pay roll of the road year alter year drawing good salaries who have never rendered a dollai's worth of work, nor benefitted it to tlie least extent. What affords them Ihe pay they do not earn? And how can the road be success ful w hen governed in such a way? 1. el it be taken out of politics so its proper earnings might go for its own improvement and lo those to whom they of right belong, and in order that the paity may not be stranded in a political railroad wreck. As to tlie best method of selling the State's stock and the stock owned by tlie several counties might well be in cludedit is a matter about which our legislators might well ponder A com mittee of good business men such as have 110 axe to grind without political ambition or selfish motives (and it Is lo be presumed that honest, trusty men can be found) should lie appointed to inves tigate fully the present value of the road advising with experienced railroad men and others having knowledge regarding any of the properties of the corporation, and w hen the precise value Is ascertained after a most careful inventory of Its real estate and effects and deduction of all liabilities and taking in consideration the correct earning capacity of the road, the precise value of the ehares of slock should be found and reported neither more nor less than the rlg-ht amount; and at this exact value the 8tate should offer its stock, not to any combination of men but to citizens of the State the pilvate stockholders of the road and the people living along Its borders. It should be offered in subscript Ions of from one to a hundred shares, but preference should be given lo the small orders and thus the stock should be distributed as widely as possible giving no one man nor several men a great controlling Interest therein. When so disposed of we may tafely rely that the natural tact and business sense of the many will surely And the right man for the right place to manage ihe road as It should be managed for the benefit of the stockholders and Its pat rons.
