While OakPocoln."f , V
Mr. Henry Brown,' bit fhis city, hfrs
reoently surveyed the Quaker Bridge
road, and in1 an interview on Monday
gave us his opinion of the lands. The
road crosses the head of White Oak
river at a point where the stream is very
small, not more than a foot wide and
about ten Inches deep. The growth at
this point consists of the pocosin' pine,
gall berries, bay bushes and bramboo
briars and is densely thick. He went
down the stream eleven hundred feet
and found it six feet wide and about
one f oo$ , of water. r In, this short dis
tance' he,; finds five.feeti fall, He is Of
the opinion that this point is within one
mile' of the cranberry pond: .
Mr. Brown what do you think of the
land. vvW ,n MT il;fi-.Vl,3i
"It is good land. All that open couri
try wherft the .road, baa I been. .' cut
igh was once a juniper swamp; the
stumps are there ' now',' It will make
from fifty to sixty bushels of rice to the
acre, and will make fine corn or cotton
either, i had some lana in the pocosin
no far from Croatan' just like it and it
made eignt barrels of corn to the acrfl.
, ''What do you think it is worth in its
present condition f'r .':
"From two dollars to two and a halt
per acre. .That on the Onslow sidel
think is better than that on the Jones
side:"' -:
"Why doVou think'so ?" " '
"Because the immense beds of reeds
on the Jones side I think is an indica
tion of sand."
"Do you think people could live out
there?"" '
v'Oh yes. There are places out there
that people could live on by draining
the land. 'I have been around those
pocosins a great deal and I know its the
healthy place a man can live at in this
BectionlyU ..' .i."- II . '. i'
"How many miles of road are there
to cut yet'd': . .
On the 15th of August there were
5 6-10 miles to cut. Including the eleven
hundred feet down White Oak river for
fall, there are 85,700 cubic yards of
earth to move, and about, fifteen acres
of clear jng.. There are thirty-five hands
at work. ; I think it will take them at
least until the first of December to
finish iLrmii:.jii iu;h' ,
We lose no qpportunity to keep the
public informed as to the progress of
this roaq because we look upon it as be
ing of more than local importance. .
From Mr, Brown's statement there is
no difficulty about draining a large body
of White Oak pocosin, ancf when once
drained it will be valuable. If the State
authorities , would adopt the plan of
selling off small tracts, not less than 100
acres, along the line of the road , the
figures named.by Mr, Brown raight .be
obtained. ' Then other- roads must be
cut which would make room for more
settlers. "A road fwm the head of White
Oak river out in the direction of Mays-
ville would open' an inviting .field for
settlers. The next General Assembly
would do a sensible thingif it would
appropriate ten of fifteen thousand dol
lars for the 1 purpose of cutting' roads
through these swamp lands.
