Our Methodist friends are consider
ling the matter of building a new par

toe church has already announced his
willingness to contribute one hundred
dollars for this purpose provided two of
the wealthiest members will contribute
fivs hundred each. It is a generous
offer on tbe part of the non-church
member and if tbe two wealthy mem
bers wilt accept it we are sure
the church will have a new parsonage
aud have it paid for before tbe meeting
of the Conference.
To be sure our Methodist friends
ill take hold of this in view of tbe
Conference coming here next Decem
ber, and push it through at ouce.
Every member of the Conference who
attends will be bound to see tbe par-
eonage, and it should be .sucb an onr
that no member of Neuse Street M. E
Church will be azhamed of.

EAST CAROLm IMPBOYEMENT.
A Co&st Line of Railway.
Numszh 8.
Eqitob Jocbval: It is certainly past
the time of day to be urging upon an
intelligent people thu utility of railroads
or the benefits every section of a cou ntry
is bound to derive from multiplied rail
road eonoeotions.
There is hardly any one now wLo has
not had the opportunity to know what
great Kood railroads do for all sections
into which tbey penetrate. Look at
Middle sad Western North Carolina.
There ia no portion of tbe United 8iates
where greater relative progress and im
provement is going on than in our
Hutui west of Goldsboro; and all be
cause of the activity there in railroad
building.
Every available or willing resource of
the State has been given to the work of
railroad extension in Middle and West
ern North Carolina; while tbs Wiliiam-
toa and larboro Hailroad of twenty
odd miles (and that under special tax
auspioos) represents everything thai
has ben done by the State tor Easteru
Carolina since tbe war, if we except ibe
Qjaker Bridge Turnpike, Angola, and
tbe Pantego work by convicts from the
penitential y, which la mainly the re
source of our own labor sent buck to us
in chains.
The Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley
Railway, in my opinion the grandest
work of Interual Improvement yet un
Oei taken in North Carolina, and a last
mg monumeut to ihe practical geuius
and statesmanship of Uo eiuor Jarvis,
whose exoelleul administrative aoilily
aud thorough oonimon sense rescued it
fr .ui stagnation, and made its preseut
oouiuiaudiDg success posnlble, though
now a private enterprise, eiials oul
becauee of the s.ale aid given to it
during the past ten years, and which le
sli I contributing lo Its development
ud extension. The same is true of the
Houib Carolina extension of that road
from Fayelteville lo Bennettsville; and
of its brandies into the nest of cotton
factories u Randolph county
There is the greaf trans-montane e s
lem, the Western North Carolina Rail
road, now completed through lo a
direct connection with Teunessee. Ken
lucky, and the great Northwest on the
one band, and approaching its ttouth
wst connections from Ueorgia, ai
Ducktown, on the other, ibis great
work represents a Slate donation of
millions of dollars la actual cash, ex
peuded on ooustr uotiou before and since
the war; aud of convict labor coulribu
led since the. work pissed 'nto tbe in
saliabl maw of the Richmond and
Danville syndicate, that mvel rale foe
aud implacable enemy of Eastern Caro
lina
The Raleigh and Augusta, and Ciru
lina Central Exiensioua to Cnarlotte
and Shelby, received material Stale aid :
and even tbe splendid Wilmington and
Weldon. which has now more mile, of
branch lines than ihe length of its mairT
stem, represents virtually a present of
tbe Slate s two fifths interest, to the
parlies who now control it.
So that, one way and anolber, the
Slate has been lavish with her resources
in aid of railroad development, except
in Eastern Carolina, through which she
has aided to build less lhan one hun
dred; and fifty miles to the seaboard
during tbe entire Railroad A ok
But th State has done well to footer
railroad development within her bor
ders, though she has so manifestly dis
criminated against tbe Etstern section,
whence cams the greater proportion of
ber revenue at tbe time such develop
ment waa first inaugurated; and the
discrimination here shown only the
more illustrates tbe greit value of rail
road communication and development.
When the great internal improve
ment men of New Hanover, Onslow,
Craven, Beaufort, Bertie, Washington
and Chowan, with their able coadju
tors of the other counties of Eastern
Carolina. and they were giant in
the legislature and council of State io
those dsys. Wilmington, New
Berne, Washington, Plymouth and
Eden ton, were the market places and
tne store houses of middle and Western
Carolina, Southwest Virginia and East
Tennessee. Their square rigged ves
sels lined their docks, snd were tbe
prido of tbe sea in the coasting and
continental trade; their merchants were
priuoes of commerce, known and hon
ored in every centre of fiuanoial credit
and power. ,
'Supplied with the natural facilities
or transportation to a greater degree.
than almost sny other of the Atlantic
8tates, our great men of a former gene
ration est themselves to work to supply
their inland brethren with the artificial
facilities afforded by tbe railroad dis
covery, neglecting to take into account
the necessity of railroads as auxiliary
facilities to their own means of water
transportation, so that in the race of
the past third of a oeatury. Eastern
Carolina has fallen behind the middle
and Western sections of the State, and
unless we are up and doing something
for ourselves we sh"U -lav saner fluoua
on the stage of aotion," stagnate, and
perish of dry rot- -
We most call on tne State to extend
to us a like aid lavished upon the middle
and Western sections; we must appeal
to our interior, and border brethren,
whom the genius and wealth of Eastern
Carolina lifted to their present position
of prosperity, development and power,
tooometo our assistance in providing
the modern facilities of intercourse and
communication, necessary to the pro
gress And prosperity of our section. ,. '
- Bnt the 8tate" will help those .who
help themielves, and before we can
call on others for aid we must put our
shoulders to tbe wheel.' We must our
selves initiate the movement looking to
a system of coast line and oonnecung
railroads through Eastern Carolina, ce-
monstrate its neoeosiry by publio action,
sod proclaim our faith in it through tbs
voice of onr people in voting tbe oontri-l
bution cf our county subscriptions

or market towns of acoount in the in
terior. Tbe water places were the chief
points of concentration and distribution.
There waa perfect panic of emigration
from Central and Western Norm Caro
lina to the countries watered by the
Mississippi river and its tributaries.
About ihe only industry of the interior
was agricultural, which want of
transportation kept stagnated. There
were no manufacturing and
mining industries, as now and other
non food producing enterprises and
avooationa. creating lo -al markets for
farm produce. Tbe picture drawn and
presented to tbe L-glslature by tbe In
ternal Improvement Convention at
Raleigh, just fifty jears ago, was
graphically alarming and painfully ap
palling.
