There is an element working to defeat the railroad bonds. This work is bei ng done in a sly, underhanded way and it is even whispered that they have money with which to persuade the voter to cast his vote against the bond issue by staying a t home. Now is the time for the intelligent, independent citizens of the four townships to get to work and carry the elections by big majorities. WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE THE BONDS. Tuesday, November 14th is the day when, by the way they cast their votes, the citizens of Colum bus, White Oak, Greens Creek and Cooper Gap townships will let their neighboring townships and counties know whether they stand for progress or are still wrapped in a Rip-Van-Winkle slumber. If the bonds are voted then that will indicate that the citizens of the foregoing town ship are wide awake and alive to their opportunities. If the op posite is the result the indication is strong that they are y e t sleeping. There are many reasons why these bonds should be voted, chief among them being an ex ample of what the Southern rail road has done for our neighbor ing townships, Tryon and Saluda. In 1875, before the Ashevile Spartanburg railway had pene trated Tryon and Saluda, the total valuation of taxable prop erty in these TWO townships TO GETHER, was only $76,509, or $11,188 LESS than the valuation of taxable property in Cooper Gap alone for.1904. So that be fore Tryon and Saluda possessed railroad facilities the TWO town ships COMBINED did not have iaxable property amounting to the present value of taxable prop erty in one township and that being the least (in property valu ation) in the county. In 1904 the taxable property in .the townships of Tryon and Saluda combined amounted t o .$442,229, an increase of $365,720. This shows what a railroad will do for a township. Knowing these facts, can any citizen afford to allow the bond issue to suffer defeat? If a railroad has done so much for Tryon and Saluda townships, can it not do, at least as much, for the other four townships in Polk county? The opportunity is here. The men (and they are reliable men) Denina tne railway company 1 have said "IF THE I T 0 W N -SHIPS IN POLK I COUNTY VOTE BOND 3 THEY WILL GET THE ROAD." This is plain. Now it is up to you citizens, to grasp the opportunity by earring the coming election, or let it slip, by being idle and indifferent. You have ah to gain and nothing to lose, as the order for election plainly stip ulates that the BONDS ARE NOT PAYABLE UNTIL THE ROAD IS IN OPERATION. COLUMBUS NEWS.

Freeman, Of Hender sonville Tells About Road. ; With very little advertising a railroad meeting took place in the castle hall of Columbus lodge, K. of P., on Tuesday night of this week. Hon. J. B. Freeman, of Hendersonville, was : the speaker of the occasion; and with his characteristic 'zeal, em phasis and enthusiasm, he' creat ed a storm centre that even woke up the people of Columbus a nd whirled quite a number of, them as far as Mill Spring the next day. Mr. Freeman was repre senting the Appalachian Interur ban Railroad Co. , and the pros pects of that company building a railroad from Asheville" via. , Hendersonville, Chimney Rock, and through the townships of Cooper Gap, White Oak and Columbus in Polk County, a n d states that the way was clear from Asheville to Chimney Rock and that if these townships would vote to issue bonds, a s stipulated in an order recently made by the County Commission ers, that the aforesaid company would build the road. ; The interest in f he meeting at Columbus was evident even among those who are of the coolest and most reticent char acteristics. The outlet for the company and the benefits to be derived from the construction of this road would seem to be mutual. In other words, the company wants the right-of-way, the bonds and the mutual cooper ation of the people in the section through which the road is to be built, and then the company pro poses to do the rest, with the hope, of course, that the interests and blessings of the enterprise will be mutual. In a word, Mr. Freeman, made it clear that the building of the proposed railroad was a sure thing for Polk county if the people will vote to issu the bonds on next Tuesday Nov. 14th. To the voters of these town ships we would say, cast your vote for this road, as you have nothing to lose, but much possi b 1 y t o gain. You r s for prosperity. T. C. Croker.
