Messrs. Geo. L. McKay, gener-
Jmanager, W A. Harrill, one of
directors, and Wythe M. Pey-
, chief engineer, of the North
rolina Interurban Railroad Co.,
ited Columbus Tuesday and
died a citizens' meeting that
'grit to present a proposition
them whereby they could get
railroad. The heavy downpour
rain kept most of - the citizens
home, but the few who biaved
weather and came to the
Jourthouse gathered around the
;ove in an informal way and lis
med attentively to Mr; McKay's
rief outline of the Company and
;s projects. Before submitting
is proposition he wished it to be
learly understood that he, -was
ot a 'promoter, butsimply acting
s a representative rof his Com
any in search of practicable
places to build railroads His 6b-
ect in corning herewas for this
eason and to find out if we really
tvant a railroad; if so, his terms
re very simplesubscribe for a
ractical preliminary and location
will not be undertaken and the
subscribed money will not be
called" for. Mr. McKay, speaking
for the Company, emphasized the
point that the railroad would be
built if survey uwas made.
What Are We doing To Do About It?
j . Jt is now up to us whether or
,n.ot we, want a railroad to come
through this town, from Tryon to
Rathcrfordton and there connect
with the main line of the North
Carolina Interurban, - running
from Gastonia to Asheville, and
touching the lines of the South
ern, the Seaboard and the C. C.
and 0., 'opening .this country to
the tourist, ahd givi-ng Us an. easy
outlet to all points. .
Even if our previous experi
ences with railroad promotion did
dissolve into transparent gold
bricks vf e cannot .t afford to let
tiis opportunity go-by, but. takc
hold of it as eagerly as we did
the others ".and with the same
hopeful nesBKat'success attend
our efforts. We must keep peg
gmg to wm, --- ,
Urvey to build by (previous Slir- Try&j ftHoslasticxOYer New Road,
Jveys gottenup for promoters are
worthless) , and if, inHis ' judg-J
ment, the line would be -a profit
able one, he would report so to
the syndicate and the money for
its construction would-be forth-

favorably on the road the survey
The railroad committee held a
