A Distinction. 'What's your boy learning at col leger" "I don't know. 1 can only tell you what he's studying," Exchange. Railroad For Jones County. Mr Editor. Having seen an article proposing tne building of a railroad for Jones county in your paper, I wish to add'a few words n commendation of the project. As stated in the article Bigned Mays- ville, there can be no doubt as to its p-)Fsibility The good to' the county following such an enterprise would be incalculable. The actual good td our county seat would be worth any effort. the people of the county could make. make. You know that-some people will throw up their hands in abject horror tnd despair when you say taxes. They In not stop to reason out' the invest ment, they revef think to analyze the question to Fee if that investment does not pay them hundreds of percent, div idends. Let's suppose that the people of the county voted $30,000 interest bearing bonds as an investment to have the road built, would that not be a most profitable, investment when we think of the great development it would bring to our county f Should the couhtyote the bend issue, there would not be any Interest to pay on the bonds until they were taken by rome company who would construct the road. ' ' After the road is built and equipped it looks to be almost a certainty, that one of the roads crossing the county north and south would be sure to' ac quire possession of the property as a fe der. Let's say Ihe A. C. L. would ouy them. The county would receive in taxes all the interest paid on bonds with a surplus of something like a thousand dollais. From a financial standpoint, would this not be a good investment T Tl.ii view, would be all right for the county, helping her schools, her old sol diers, building better bridges and high ways etc. But how about ber individual ciliztnthip? It wculd increase his pri ces by bringing a demand to his door, making commercial every thing he can produce, or is produced by nature, ma king hia land, limber,' woods and every thing possessed, marketable at advan ced prices. This is no hot air blast but actual facts as you can find by compar ing values in Jones county with those of the middle counties where railroad advantages are constantly enlarging. Lands here can be bought for $10.00 to $20.00 In those counties, 140.00 to $60.00 where the difference ? We can raise, successfully, every crop they raise. We have more labor? It must be in trans portation facilities, and then, a certain amount of aectional pride, should enter into this proposition, save one, as we remember, this Is the only is the only county m the east whose eoonty seat is not connected with (fieouUide world by ftilrdad. . . ' We say build the road connecting the D. & 8, B. at Phillip's Crossing with A. C. L. at f'ollocksville, where water depth is sufficient for any boats that ply into New Bern. Could we secure the construction of khis 17 mile llne'irom the D. & S. B. to Poltocksville, we might expect, with no little" amount of assurance, to see the line continued , to Kinston and then a connecting line from Swansboro to Maysville. Old man, as we are, we ex pect to Vide by rail from p(mifort via PfiiTllp's Croaiing to TrentonVwrt and then by the way of Olivers to Pollocks villa, changing ears for Maysville, and from there over the JUaysville and Swansboro road to that maimer towa ! on the White Oak wbere we can enjoy Aching and stay at the famous Tarry CYPRESS CREEK.
