But a railroad of some description we must have.? V. -, : Attorney Reece spoke for Yadkin vllle. "We have got to have a rail road of some kind," said he, "and I am certainly glad to see that the Yad kin people realize this fact. He ad vocated a bond Issue and presented facta to show that an issue of bonds would not be a handicap, but an ad vantage to Yadkin. , Wineton-8alem's Representatives. George P. Pell, Esq., representative of the Winston-Salem board of trade, presented the electric trolley project in a most forcible manner. He told the gathering that he feared they had a wrong impression as to tne cnar- acter of this electric car line. "It will not be a little car line such as you see in pictures," declared he. but line of railway operated by electricity instead of steam, drawing a string of cars similar to that you see on steam railway." "I bring you greeting," said Mr. Pell, "from the metropolis of this sec tion Wlnston-Salem. We know of the great natural advantages of your county and of its progressive citizen ship. We are proud of the men whom Yadkin county has furnished ' the Twin-City." Continuing the speaker referred to the pleasant relations that existed between the people of Yadkin and Winston-Salem. In speaking of the benefits' to be derived, by Yadkin from the proposed electric line, Mr. Pell said : Look at your young men, Where are they? You point to all sections of the country. They have left their native heath because there is a very slim chance for them to suc ceed here,, not because you are lack ing in natural advantages, but be cause you have no means to develop these advantages, Taking up the question of bonded Indebtedness the speaker declared that such an Indebtedness was not a menace to a county and cited the fact that all the prosperous counties in the State today have Issued bonds. "An electric car line to Wlnston-Salem will not only benefit the immediate sec tion traversed by it, but it will benefit every nook and corner of the county, for as soon as the line is completed to Yadklnvllle it will begin to branch out as the telephone has done, until electric car lines will go Into every section of this county, for you have water powers and timber interests that must and will be developed. And yet we don't want you to understand that we are entirely committed to an electric line, for If you want a steam railway line we are ready to co-oper ate and do our part." Mr. Pell was at his best when he presented to the audience the advan tages of Winston-Salem. He drew a diaeram of Winston-Salem's location on the blackboard, snowing the rail way lines entering that city, "we have the Norfolk & Western system entering our town from the north; the Southern comes to our city trom tne east, west and south; the lnter-oiroan market tor thepresent situation and build the line V Wlnston-Salem, and declared that such a car line would be a bless ing to the county even if it was neces sary for them to increase their tax rate a few cents. His speech was brimful of loyalty to Wlnston-Salem and her interests and when he had concluded, a man In the audience arose and wanted to bet a lug of but ter milk tHat if the $100,000 was given to the stea,ra railroad It would not be built. t - Statelvlllc Representatives. Mr, P. C.t Carlton presented the pro- poeeu statesvllie Air Line Railway i side of tne .question lu a speech five minutes', duration. HI speech contained nothing that would seem indicate that there la much chance for this road being built, though he pointed out the great advantages to oe derived ny tne people or Yadkin from the road. He said that with the building of the Statesvllie Air Line road, a distance of 142 miles all told, there would be ' a through line from Pittsburg1, Pa., to New Orleans, La. His speech was very vague, how ever. In regard to how this road was to be constructed. Nevertheless, there is a strong sentiment In Yadkin in favor of this road and the speaker was heartily cheered. At the conclusion of his speech man In the audience took the floor and said he was in favor of the people now assembled instructing the county commissioners to go ahead and Issue bonds without an election. "I don believe in too much voting anyway, said he. The crowd cheered him, but of course refused to do as he wanted it to. Mr. Pell then invited the commit tee representing the Yadkin people to meet a committee from the Wlnston- Salem board of trade in Winston as soon as convenient and while in the city to be the guests of the board The i invitation was accepted with cheerii. The gentlemen representing Wln ston-Salem turned the tide for the new enterprise toward the Twin-City, It looked as if the Statesvllie proposi tion had the most friends this morn' lng, but It is generally conceded that before the day had -passed the people were more in favor of the electric car line project than they had ever before been. ; Winston-Salem's delegation worked' for their city from morning tin evening, and tne general opinion now is that the line to Winston-Salem is a very live possibility. The meeting then adjourned, with Winston-Salem and the electric car line on the lips of all., It looks as if the electric line - will be built if Wlnston-Salem Is willing to do tgx,! pari. ! , J. u. u, Yadkin County. Yadkin county was formed from Surry county In 1S50. It took its name from the Yadkin river, which flows through the county for 30 miles or more. The county Is not as large as some sister counties, containing only 320 square miles. The property valuation of Yadkin In 1905 was something over $2,000,000. There Is no bonded or floating debt and the tax rate is very low, being 23 2-3 cents on the $100 valuation and 38 cents on the poll. Yadkin is a fine agricultural county Is well watered and comparatively level. Thousands of acres of virgin forests of oaks, poplar and pine are to be found here. There are very few manufacturing plants in the county, due to the fact that railway facilities are lacking. ? This has proved a ser ious drawback to the county. - The principal farm products are wheat, corn, tobacco, oats. There are several excellent water powers In the county that are await lnt development. The people of Yadkin are of the old Carolina type, thrifty and Industrious and the old-time Southern hospitality has never left her people.- -Yadkin has given to Wlnston-Salem many of her best citizens, who have proven a mighty factor in making the Twin- City what she is today: the metropolis and principal market for a territory as large as the entire state of Maine. There is the best of feeling between Yadkin people and those of Wlnston- Salem, the citizens of both realizing that each is a help to the other, needs Winston-Salem and r,f nil itriT iiinnrnnnii wiitAi mam The incorporated towns of county are Yadklnvllle, East Bend, Boon vllle. Shore and Williams. CASE TO BE E TRIED IN ml electric line will open a vour timber in both Wlnston-Salem (Yadkin and and High Point, both these cities winston-Salem needs Yadkin, having a large number or wooo-worK- Ing plants; the Southbound railway places you within teach of the Atlantic seaboard. All that you need is the trolley line to Winston-Salem and you will be within reach of every market of the world. And you will also enjoy the advantages to be de rived from competing railway sys tem. You will not be at the mercy of one great system, and as a result you will have lower freight rates." Mr. Pell said he was not here to throw a damper over the proposed Statesvllie Air Line Railway; that was not his mission, for be hoped it would be built, "but," said he, "the building of such a road means the ex penditure of millions, and millions are not as plentiful as some of us would wish." In conclusion Mr. Pell said. "The salvation of Yadkin county lies in the building of an electric trolley line to Wlnston-Salemt.nd, gentle men of Yadkin, Forsyth will Join hands with you In this project, for we know we will be benefited by coming In closer touch with your people and at the same time opening up a large section of the State, rich in all natural advantages, which, when developed, will make both Wlnston-Salem and Yadkin county more wealthy and pros perous." Hon. A. E. Holton Speaks. District Attorney A. E. Holton, a native of Yadkin, was greeted by cheers when he came forward. His was more in the nature of a heart-to-heart talk with his people and-completely captured his hearers. He said that 30 years ago he carried around the subscription list for the proposed Statesvllie Air Une railroad, but he i i. h built anyway. He lU'L'f.I I ' RALEIGH, July 10.
