Sale of the Atlantic A.N. C Eall-
rond. " "
It has been frequently asserted and
geneially accepted as true, that there is
no power in the-stockholders to sell this
road. Generally1 speaking this is un
doubtedly true; but the Legislature of
laid-li has made an exception in favor
of the North Carolina Railroad Com
pany.; By this act authority is confer
red upon the latter corporation to pur
chase the Western N. C. and Atlantic
N. O. Railroads and .for that' purpose to
issue its bonds and execute a mortgage
upon its property to secure the same.
ine reasons which moved the uenerai
Assembly in bestowing the special power
upon this corporation are apparent to
all who are at all acquainted , .with the
history of the railroiding in North
Carolina. i V- i . ' t 3 I',
The hopes which induced the State,
more than a generation aco. to lend its
aid to the construction of these three
lines of railroad had not been entirely
abandoned by those who had the care
or the Mate at the time of this legisla
tion. The crippled condition f the At
lantic and N. C. and the Western N. 0.
Railroads rendered them helpless as
factors in the establishment of the "old
North Carolina policy,'? and the only
hope left those who still indulged what
is familiarly known as the "dream of
Gov. Morehead and the fathers" was to
be found in the North Carolina Railroad
Nor was this road at that tmio in a con
dition to either dictate the situation or
very materially influence it.
lis own stock was Belling at 81 cents
on the dollar, and unless a remedy was
devised, a sale of its entire property to
pay the construction bonds was inevit
able. No plan to avert this threatened
calamity had been matured or even sug
gested.
: 1 here was another impediment in the
way of a purchase by this road of either
of the to lines of railway mentioned
in the: act. Its own road ' extending
from Goldsboro to Charlotte was under
a lease for 30 years to the Richmond and
Danville Railroad and that lime had
ust began to run. But this was not an
ingurmountal)ie object ,,. if the influence
which the lessors could bring to bear
upon their lessees could not secure the
co-operation of the Richmond and Dan
ville Company in working out their
objects and wishes, time at least would
remove this difficulty and in the life of
a railroad time is not what it is in the
life of an individual.
These are the difficulties which 10
vears aero stood in the wav of the North
Carolina Railroad Co. as a purchaser of
the Atlantic Railroad. J Time has re-
moved many, jf not all. of them.
At length its fctock having found bot
tom at so cents, took an upward turn
and had reached in the last sales re
ported 871 and is now firmly held at 90
cents." And it. is not unreasonable to
predict if the company continues to de
clare dividends of six per cent., as of
late it has, it may soon stand at uta par
value, if it does not command a premium
in the market. Thus much for the
stock, its present value and future prob
abilities.
The company has been equally for
tunate in averting the danger which
threatened its corporate existence. ' By
wise and prudent management the
bondholders had been induced to con
sent to have the construction debt
funded and to accept bonds in lieu
thereof running 40 years. , It would be
unjust while on this subject, not to
give the "authorities of this road due
praise for this most creditable showing.
We dislike-to bring the mismanagement
of our own road in contrast with such
splendid results. , But it must be ad
mitted that the business qualifications
of the persons proposing to buy or lease
our road is an important consideration.
And we belive the management ot the
affairs of this company fully establishes
the high qualifications of those in con
trol. tThis. we believe and hope is a
fair statement of the condition, past and
present, of the corporation: which now
proposes, in earnest', to buy the Atlantic
& ci. v. llailroad.
With its stock worth 90 cents; with
an annual dividend of 6 per cent; - with
consiruciiuu uonua iuuuuu wriu years
i . i .i e .i .1 t . i
, n(J owning a property estimated at
$4,000,000 the ability of the company to
buy must be conceded, and any propo
sitionit may make should he treated
with respect.
What terms it may be able to make
with the Richmond and Danville Rail
road company should it buy; whether
to operate our road, in the interest of
this section, as a part of the whole line
of road from Charlotte down, or to give
it the control from Raleigh only, of
course, we are unable to say. But it is
easy to see that the old company, tho
ooeratiuK no road of its own, is in
condition toinfluen
influence its lessee in favor
of any scheme it may project in this be
half, ; This is its concern, and whatever
it may be able to do in this direction we
presume will be disclosedin the offer
to. buy.
At any rate it looks liKe mere
something in the "old Mullet Road,
after all, since so many are anxious to
call it their own. - It is too plain.

Editor Journal: The Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Railroad is in operation
from Fayettevillo, the prospering head
of navigation on Cape Fear River,' to
the Gulf in Chatham county, a distance
of 47 miles passing through Cumber
land, Harnett and Moore into Chatham.
Its further route is graded and bridged
from the Gulf through Chatham and
Randolph, to Greensboro, 52 miles; and
is graded from Greensboro to Walnut
Cove, Stokes county, 30 miles beyond
The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Road
also owns the graded route of the
Fayetteville and Florence Road from
ayettoville to the South Carolina line,
8 miles. The whole route will be
ftnidly completed, and when finished
will extend from Shoe Heel on the
Carolina Central Railroad through the
counties of Robeson, Cumberland, Har
nett, Moore, Chatham, Randolph,' Guil-
iora, rorsytn, stoKcs, Surry. Yadkin,
Wilke3, Caldwell and Mitchell, where,
at cranberry iron Mines, it connects
with tho Cranberry Road of 43 miles
leading to the Virginia and Tennessee
System at Johnson City, and penetrat
ing the section composed of Alleghany,
Ashe and Watauga and affording facil
ities to xancey county.
THE COMPANY AND ITS PROGRESS.
The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
Railroad has recently passed into the
nanus oi a reorganized company of
stroug capitalists, who have given the
oiaie suDBianiiai ana satistactory. guar
antees ot its early completion. , Burn
cient rail has been purchased and de
ljvered to lay the track from Fayette
ville to hoe ueei; ana from the old
Gulf terminus to Greensboro. Track-
laying gangs are at work between Shoe
Heel and Fayetteville, and the Gulf
and Greensboro, and we have the assu
ranee or president uray that the cars
will be running through from Shoe
Heel to Greensboro by January, 1884
ana that tne work thence to its moun
tain terminus will be pushed with like
promptness and vigor. We are thus
assured of more than 150 miles of ope
rating railway of the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley Road at a very early
day, and a corresponding promptness in
the completion of the whole line. .
PROPOSITION TO EXTEND THE SYSTEM.'
The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
company proposes to lease the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad, and build
a connecting link between Fayetteville
and (ioldsboro, thus affording it an out
let through the ports of New Berne and
Beaufort, and so furnishing the long
desired connection by rail of the North
Carolina coast and trans montane coun
ties. - The Cape Fear and Yadking Val
ley scheme developed into the possibility
of affording our North Carolina seaports
access to the interior of the. State, the
West and great Northwest, just as we
of the pent up East had realized that th
North Carolina and the western North
Carolina Railroads, constituting the old
North CarolinaSystem"had hopelessly
passed into hostile hands and under
Virginia control.
V ' OUR PRESENT SITUATION.
The situation of Eastern Carolina
the ports of Beaufort, New Berne and
Wilmington with reference to Western
North Carolina, Tennessee and the in
terior sections of our State is best lllus
trated by this extract from the columns
of the New Berne journal of July 13th
1883; .- v .
"One of our merchants gives us the
following items of information;. .
Vic costs to bring two bags seed
weighing 271 lbs., by regular freight
from Tennessee to New Berne, $6.24,
Time required, 23 days.
"It costs to carry a cultivator weigh
ing 03 lbs; from New Berne to Rooking
ham, Richmond county, $3.45. A num
ber of the implements were wanted, but
as it,coets about five times as much for
freight as it would cost from new York,
of course the first order was the last.
Comment is unnecessary."
; WHAT OUR ISOLATION PRESENTS,
1 It is. therefore, perfectly clear to any
one who is at all acquainted with mat
ter of transportation that the railway
facilities of New Borne, Beaufort, Kin
ston and the A. & N. C Railroad points
practically terminates at Goldsboro,
and that without a corporate connec
tion of our road with some through line
we are commercially restricted to the
local facilities bf our own narrow limits,
It mutters not into whose hands, or un
der what management the A. & N. C,
Railroad passes, so long as it remains
tho isolated fragment of a system it can
not promote the commercial interests,
except locally, of the section of the
State it was designed to assist; benefit
and build up. V . ' v ;
WHAT IS OFFERED TO RELIEVE US. '
The proposition of the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley people is to make the A.
& N. C. Railroad a part of their through
system, giving to Beaufort, New Berne
and. this portion of Eastern Carolina
that communication with our interior
counties, connection with, and outlet
through Northwestern North Carolina,
East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia
which the North Carolina and Western
North Carolina Roads were intended to
give us through Tennessee and Georgia;
and by its extension South, the C. F. &
Y. V. Road will also penetrate and open
up to .us rich cotton growing sections bf
South Carolina. " ; ;

OF THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE HIGHEST
CONSIDERATION OF STATE POLICY.
Can anything of greater advantage
to Goldsboro, Kinston, New Berne and
Beaufort be suggested than a Railroad
System which shall bring together these
22 counties this territory and popula
tion; comprising one-fourth of North
Carolina, one-fourth of her population;
one-fourth or the territory; one-fourth
of her products, resources and rndus
tries Can any more beneficial public
policy be devised than this r . J he pres
ent Executive of our State has the proud
satisfaction, of knowing that his admin
istration stands out pre-eminently as
the most "successful - and progressive
respecting the development of Internal
Improvements, of any of the illuntrious
administrations of the State. Has any
public policy of a higher consideration
at any time ever occupied the Executive
mind of JNorth. Carolina than this which
proposes to give one-fourth of the popu
ation of the State, their territory, pro
ducts, industries , and . resources the
benefits of access to and outlet through
Beaufort Harbor? Is there, - or can
there be a higher or more beneficent
policy of the State than that of fostering
her commerce, the handmaid of Agri
oulture, by building up her seaports of

WOULD REVIVE THE COMMERCE OF BEAU
FORT HARBOB, EASTERN AND WEST-i-;
. iv ERN CAROLINA.
. By reason of the coal product which
awaits the developing hand of the C. F.
k Y. .V. system, Beaufort harbor
would become one of the important
South Atlantic coaling stations for
trans-Atlantic and coastwise steamships,
at once a convenience to international
and domestic .commerce and a source
of wealth to , our impoverished and
languishing State; attracting the atten
tion of the world to our products and
the capacities of our seaport. The im
mense beds of iron, copper and other
valuable ores and minerals which lie
along the line of the C. F. & Y. V. Road
from Moore and Chatham to Alleghaney
and Ashe counties, the full develop
ment of which this system of transpor
tation will bring out, would in great
part find an outlet to the Northern
furnaces and foundries through the
ports of New Berne and Beaufort. The
bulk of supplies imported for the sec
tion of country lying between Wayne
and Ashe counties along and contiguous
to this line would find their way in
through the ports of New Berne and
Beaufort, and in addition to increased
lines of inland navigation from New
Berne, outside lines of steamships would
be established and maintained in the
commerce with i Beaufort - harbor,
While New Berne, instead of finding
her customers within a radius of thirty
five or forty mile,: would extend her
trade-relations beyond the confines of
the State. Products of our cotton
fields would be carried to the factories
in Caldwell, Chathamv Cumberland,
Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, Surry and
the hundreds of others that are to
spring up on- the magnificent water-
power of those hill and mountain sec
tions which the C. F. & Y. V. system
penetrate and in exchange the fine beef-
cattle, horses and mules and' other
products of the western slope brought
to our doorsv That exchange of com
modities would thus again go on be
tween our Eastern and Western people
as in the days before the ndventof trans
verse railroads interrupted and finally
shut off the natural currents of trade,
dividing one portion of I he State from
the other. Can no, one see in all this a
reason for uniting the A. & N. C. Rail
road with the great through System of
