now before the Stats Legislature.
Thera is reason to Iwlleve that such
lawn will be enacted lo sit tire agricul

not only to prohibit tbe formation of

to prevent shd restrain trusts incor

In all probability outside trusts which
are forbidden to do boa loess la a State
where they were not Incorporated will
claim that each prohibition It a viola

They want a way to get to Charlotte to

that the piers have been deeded and we

We are S-irry that Mt. Holly tnlcea

Why dors Mt. Ilolly object to a
bridge at Roszsll’a. eveu if they had
one at Mt. Hully? Bmiuh they kiuw

The people of Charlotte arc noted fur
their public spirit, but Mt. Ilolly

of a bridge which would not help litem

Now, Mt. Holly need not be augry
with us for showing up our aids of tbe

Fiaslly, Mr. Editor, It is to be re

against the bridge at Mt. Holly princi
pally oo the gruuad tbat ML llolly, na

that farmers selling cotton there would
also buy their supplies there. Much
enu never happen If Chert-ills dove liar

tbe (Jl/tenrr correspondent*. Now, as
to Mount Holly offering 0,000 simply
u bring trade from Meehteubnrg, we
would aay that Mount Holly and sur
rounding country baa offered >"1,3)0 for
tbe bt ldgo to L-a uullt at Mount Holly,
auil of that amount tha merebaota
liava auNtcrlhad only 173). Now that
bob* to allow that II la not jut a apecu.
lative mailer with tit* mcreltaau of
Mouut Holly, aed m to lb* put history
of tba clttevua of Mount Holly betas
aHQsh and working ohly for sdf, F
wo.iU just say tbal ;b* peopla or Mount
Holly are aa liberal as auy pro pin to bo
found any where, and white we do not
know tbe Triangle correspondent.
Judging from the tenor of bis writing,
1 doubt very much It ba ever gave a
dlum toward* any puMie eatarprlaa
and expaet be would grumble when be
baa in help work tbe public road*.
Mount Holly believes in putting tbe
bridge where It will be of the greatest
benrllt to Haaton and Urukle iburg
comities, arid It la certainly very plalu
that Mount Holly I* Urn place, as It la
one-half mile or the oentre of GUatoa
connty and about nua and one-half
mile* from tha centre of Meekteoburg
county. Now It la not six or eight
mile* out of tbe way fur Um people of
1 .ownvllle. Triangle and that up coun
try to go by Mount Uotly to Charlotte,
aa aoaie of tltoon same unaalfWli peopla
would have you believe, but only a dif
ference of about litre* mile*, uud for
the people of Newton. Blowing Itaek
and the mountain country It la almost
a duvet line to Charlotte. It 1* thlr
teen mil** from &. L. Abernathy's to
Charlotte by UonsIPa ferry and sixteen
mils* by way of Mount Holly, nad If
lim bridge I* built at Mona* Holly the
read will bn straightened in Mecklen
burg ovoDir, which will cut off about
two mite*, maklhg then a diffareuov of
uot over one mile. Uemtemen, make
yoar statement* oorreet.
Mew st to what Mount Holly offara
Halo*’. Hassell'* ferry, It U ji»l this :
ount Holly and anrroundinge offer
83,3)0. Heaton county agraae to giva
on*-half of tba balanoe If Mockleabara
will give tbe other half, which wilt not
be over >3.250 for each county. Bor
SMI's ferry offers about >1,000 and
abatmaote and piers which will seat
about >1,000 to repair. U will thou
ooat at least >3,000 to construct the
bfidge and from >600 or >000 to haul
the bridge from tha nearest retire td. ,
wbieb wilt make a total of at Meat
>0.000, or >1,600 more than It will ooat
at Mount Holly, with a donation
of lets Mnn >1.000, so you are asking
tha county of Meekteoburg tc give yon
>*.3)0 to pot a bridge where It will
aot be of tb* moat bmaOt to said coon
ty, while w* an asking for only about
>3,390 for a bridge to be put nearest
tbe oentre of both eountten, and where
It will hoof tb* greatest benaflt to tb*
greatest number.
