Jones County's Gains Since Constrnct " - ion ot Railroads In it; Trenton, N. C, Nov. 16, 1911. Editor Journal: . ' For many years, after the Civil war Jones county made very little gains. It hss always been noted for its fertile soil and fine agricultural section, but not until after the construction of rail roads in it, did the county show any material gains. It therefore, might be interesting to many of its people to know, something of its past and present condition.' The year prior to the construction of the Wilmington and New Bern railroad through it, the total value of , all its real estate and personal property was 1715,000. Its present value atone of its railroad, telegraph and telephone prop, erty is now more than $552,000. This new value in railroad, telegraph, etc., is some seventy-five per cent of its to tal value before their construction. The net income of this new railroad proper ty to the county for taxes is now more than $4,000. The total value of all the property of the county is now in round figures, about $3,000,000. Pollocksville township alone being more than $1,000, 000, which is about $300,000 more than the worth of the whole county before the construction of its railroads. The county is practically out of debt. , The amall sum it owes is easily taken care of. The time has now arrived when our people need and require additional rail road facilities. We want an East and West railroad through the county con necting every part of the county with each other section. The present com mercial and agricultural interests re quire it We have three good banks, one each at Trenton, Pollocksville and Maysville, all doing good business. Trenton needs a railroad, we never can reach that point of thrift and prosperi ty which we are en tit led to until we can secure railroad facilities. We have been aiscussing tne project or building a railroad from Swansboro to Maysville, Pollocksville and Trenton, and thence onward for a western connection eith er at Kioston or Fayetteville. Our county can easily subscribe $50,000 of its county bonds to this enterprise. We are perfectly able to do it. In fact the additional railroad .properly could easi ly take care of a $100,000 of its county bonds and our people would never feel it The people generally seem to favor this idea. We believe they are ready and willing to begin a more substantial and forward movement to develop along the industrial, financial and commercial lines. Our schools, ehuri hes and agri cultural Interests are prospering. ' Let us add to them aid build up and offer inducement to hold our own population at home, TAX PAYER.
