It seems at last, the hopes for a railroad in Polk County are about to materialize; men who speek authoritatively, say, that never since the raileoad project has begun, have prospects looked better. From what we can learn, the old interurban elictric road plans have been giv ' en up and if it is to be anything at all, it will be a steam road. McNeiiy, one of ihe prime pro moters of . the road, is now in New York consulting northern capitalist, whom he has interest ed in this movement. F. M, Stearns, vice President of the new road is leaving noth ing undone to materialize this new enterprise. Progress has developed to such an extent, that a surveying corps under Capt. Pearson, have begun -surveying for a road bed. The survey begins near Chimney Rock, touching the new railroad that runs there, it Comes down near Green River, through Mill Spring and to Columbus; it then takes a ridge at Columbus, hav ing a terminate point at Spar tanburg or Gaff ney S. C. With such markets as these thriving cities afford, it is need less to say that the good old coun ty of Polk will take her rightful place in the front among the most prosperious counties in the state. The Colleges of arts, throught- ouuthe state, have sent about 350 male and 300 female gradu ates out into active life, feis speaks well for the old North State and shows clearly the peo ple's attitude towards College Education. The parents are be coming awaken to the fact, tihat within a few more years, a young man in North Carolina with out an educotion will be about as helpless in the Professional, Com merical and industrial world, as a soilder in time of war without a gun. Of course every man can make a living with his hands but he can not figure prominently in his vo cation; because his competition will have the advantage of him and his life's game will be en tirely defensive.
