I.
is too fast. He knows as well as
every other citizen knows, that
before we are required to vote
we will as a county enter into an
jagreenient with the promoters of
the proposed road, as to just
where the road shall run and how
bonds shall be used, none of
whieh will be used until the road
is completed, This is the rule
follpwed fn all counties prior to
an election and no one knows
this bette? thn the prepounder
pf tbi Question, Now as to the
9con(J question, Who smuggled
this special act through the Jegis
Jature? I beg to say that this
was not a bill for Polk county
and Pglk county had no right to
Jcnow anything about th bill. It
was a purely local bill; for Hend
ergon, cqunty but was. sQ drfiftd
that if the counties, adjoining
Hendersgn desired to aid in th
construQtipn of the, rgadi they
could fall in and hgw a willing
hand. I think we should thank
the author of this bill for the in
terest! he felt in the. pegple gf
polls county..
q Why the statistical repgrt
presented by Judge Ewart at a
meeting in Hendersonville, stat
ing through which part gf the
county the road ghguld run has
not been published?
a The repgrt refened to was
read in open meeting and the
part referring to the ' proposed
route of the road was printed in
all the papers of Ashevijle, end
ersonville, Rutherford, Gaff ney,
Spartanburg, Charlotte and sev
eral times in the ?QW County
News. -Could ft have had more
publicity? Surely Rip Van wag
asleep. The writer goes on in
his wild dream and says that the
voter i requested tg act in ignor
ance and gQ H blind, and surely
before an election is ordered ihe
county commissioners will call a
meeting at GQlumhus to discuss
the eleQtric. road. Everyone
HnQW engugh about these e.lec
tigns tg know that the cgunty
commissioners are bound tg grder
said election when petitioned to
dg?0 by a fourth gf the qualified
voters Qf the QQunty, This writer
must think that the board gf
eoiriiTUssioners are ignorant men
whom he qan fool or entice to do
something that is not lawful.
Had you thought how pessimistic
the Tryon writer is, as he pro
ceeds further with his wild scare,
he says, 'that it has been stated
that the freight collected for the
transportation of the lumber that
would be cut, would make the
road a paying one," This he
says -'is a misleading statement
for the timber referred to is very
pg:r and unworthy the notice of
mill men." The citizens of Polk
cgunty know better than this.
People are making good mgney
in Cooper Qap by hauling their
- timber ' J5 and 20 miles to a rail,
road. --Mills have been in most
every sectiqn qf the county qu
ting timber, the lumber of which
is so fine that it pays the mill
man to haul it for many miles to
get it on the market. Polk
county is said to have the finest
hardwqod in Western N: C. The
reason the timber does not pay
the owner is because he can not
get it to market- Give him a
railroad through the county and
his timber will be a young fortune
to him, MU1 men will come to
Polk from all parts of N- c an
other states, as well, Put a rail
road through the county and the
farmers, will more than double
their profitSt
q r a further question the
writer asks if a certain company
did not buy about, 1,200 acres of
this speculation land for its tim
ber and when the same was in-,
spected they reminded the con
tract, ,
a Yes, but Why did this com
pany buy this timber? It was
during the time they believed
Polk WQUld get a railroad in a
few months Just as soon as
they found gut that the road then
talked of had np certainty about
ft; or that there was no chance
for Folk oounty to get ; the road,
they did not ' want the timber.
They QQuld nQt get it-to market
fast enough to pay a company of
the enormity of this one in ques
tion,; fVnd the only reason , the
contract was recinded was be
cause the timber was tog far from
a railroad. v '
Now the Tryon writer has come
to the scarey place and his sleep
has been disturbed with a hideous
nightmare. He arouses up and
asks the question "who will pat
ronise this road? " Will the pas
senger traffic pay fgr the gil that
it will take tP grease the.
machinery?"
I want to ask the writer gf
these questions, why should the
voters bother about this?. We
notice when wealthy people go to
Tryon, many gf whom are stand
ing on the brink gf the grave,
they are induced tg expend large
ums of money in erecting ,resi
dences and business structures
and are net warned that "such
ventures may prove unprofitable
and fail to pay for the paint that
covers them, I will make the
assertion that the read will pay,
Jt will open up a fine section of
the county and be of course, a
competitor of the Southern, and
all people desiring to go west will
gg by way gf the electric ling to
Asheviile, from ah points below,
rather than gg gver that Saluda
mountain, called "the death pit, ?
Consequently I think the road
would pay from the start.
The writer further asks the
question "would not the road
benefit the business, men gf Hend-
erson and injure the business
men gf Polk?" I want to ask
the writer if he ever in all his life
heard, of a railroad hurting a
business man?
The Tryon scribe wants tg
know why the question of voting
fegnds should not be J eft to town
ships, We think it is just that
all the peoples help tg improve and
develop the county if they desire
to live in it. While it is impos
siblej for the road to pass by each
citizen's door, yet if a man i a
true citizen and has the interest
gf the. county at heart, he will
gladly work for the improvement
of the cgunty at large, regardless
of his own eifish motives and
interests,
' q What authority did a few
citizens of Polk county and one
Ohio man have to, represent and
express the views gf the citizens
of folk county at a meeting held
in the county of Henderson?
a I want to infgrm the pro
pounder gf this question, that the
meeting in question was an open
and public one and that all the
people gf Polk county, were
cordially invited to attend, T!he
meeting was published in several
papers, publicly proclaimed 1 0
more than 300 people in the cgurt
house at Columbus, besides circu
lars and special invitations b y
letter we.re sent out all over the
county and if you were not pres
ent at the meeting in question you
have no one to blame but your
self, As to the Qhio man,, I can
gay that he i one of the largest
property owners in Polk county
and doubtless pays more ta than
any other one citizen in the
county, and has taken more in
terest in the developement of
Polk county than any other one
man I kngw. He is the founder
of some of her best institutions,,
and if he takes an. interest in the
proposed road who ought to kick?
Should it be a man who yet has
the soil of a northern state stick
infij to his sandels and .whose
heart and interests are back from
whence the soil came? We say
no, ng, y .
The citizens of Tryon, through
their mouth-piece, clamor for
light, figures and fair play. They
; say let us have a meeting in the
Qolumbus cgurt house, give us
fair play. We say to them that is
just what we want, and after the
ejection has, been called, there.
Will . be . meetings all oyer Polk
County for the purpose of giving
the vgter inteligence concerning
the proposed road before he
votes. ; When this has been done
he can cast; his vote; for or
against. What is this, hut fair
play. Why re e citizens qf
Tryon so anxious at this hour for
an opportunity to meet and dis
cuss railroad when .we have from
time to time called meetings, for
this purpose and " Tryon was sel
dom represented at said meet
ings? V"-:,. ' V,-'"
q . If the townships think it
necessary to go in debt and issue
bonds, in order to be up, to date
and progressive, we will ask,
would it not be much better for
the -people to issue $25,000 of
bonds for the purpose of building
a well graded macadamed road
from Mill Spring tg Trygn via
Columbus? :-':'J:-
a Now that would be all nice,
but who would be benefitted by
this? jCJan you see? I can. This
would draw all the trade from
these sections of the county to
Tryon a t the expense o f Mill
Spring and Columbus, In other
words the Tryon writer and poor
man's friend, is asking you to
vote a tax upon ygurselves for
the purpose of getting to a rail
road in his town, when by adding
just a little more tax you will
bring the road tg your own door.
Is not this selfishness personified ?
q The Tryon citizens ask "is
this scheme a huge joke?
a If you think it a jgke, why
so much concerned about a joke?
Can't ygu take, a joke? If it
takes as long for the Tryon cor
respondent to go over the county
and get up his data for his next
article as it has this one and
during that time the road is
built, wouldn't that be a huge
joke?
Now in conclusion I want to
say to the voters of Polk county,
that the only way Polk county
can over get a road is,- for the
people to go to work, vote the
bonds as has been done in all
other progressive counties. You
too well remember the howl that
was set up here by one or two old
fogies, when the Southern pro
posed building a road direct
through the county. These
parties wqnt all over the county
declaring that if the bonds were
voted it would bankrupt4 the
county and besides that if the
road was to be a paying road they
would build it without the bgnd
issue. Consequently the bond
issue was defeated and the rgad
lost. These same people have
long since repented of their folly
and are ngw doing ah they canto
have the bonds voted, and to get
the road.
Voter, why are the people of
Tryon gpposing this road and
setting up such a yell, gver a
small pittance of tax? I can tell
ygu, 1st. It is because they
have the only road in the county,
and they are not in need of
another. 2nd, Because the
majority of the people gf Tryon
are from northern states and
have only come to Tryon tempgr-
arily and they want to force the
people from the other sections of
the county to trade with them in
order to fill their coffers that
they may return to their native
lands tg enjoy their earnings ob
tamed from the south. ' Just
think of those people dictating to
the natives of Polk county. To
them Polk is but a stranger. To
you, voter, it is your mother;
upon her soil you stand and de
fend her. Here, you loft your
wi yes, mothers, and perhaps some
left sweethearts, to fight for
what you thought to be a right
cause, Those qf you who returned
scar worn and in pqveriy are
again on your feet and ready to
fight for the best interest of your
mother, county v May you fight
on and may success crown your
efforts. J. P. Mqrris,
