A Handsome Business Proposition Which Would Pay Back to the Co.,
' Tales far more than Bonds
To the readers of the Herald
The people of Cleveland coun
ty ought to be much .interested
in tne election to oe neia 011
Saturday June 27th; 1914, on
the question of issuing $40,000 in
bonds for the building of a, rail
road from ' Shelby through
Beams Mill, Fallston, Bel wood
and No. Ten Township to Casar,
a distance of some thing over
20 miles, and $40,000 in bonds
for the building of an electric
trolly from Kings Mountain to
Shelby and on through to, foil
ing Springs and NovOne Town-;
ship to some connecting railroad
point in South Carolina, like
Gaff ney or Spartanburg, a ;
rliof.tnr.a ff anmrthinir nvr HO
miles through Cleveland county .
Upper ueveiano vauroaa.
The flnt proposition relates
to the upper Cleveland railroad, I
which has long been the dream j
and hope of the people oi all
that section. Heretofore the
people . 0 f Cleveland county
voted a bond issue ot $50000
for this railroad through tipper
Cleveland at the same time
$7.1,000 was voted for;, the old
Three C's, now the Southern
Railroad running from Blucks-
bure, : through Earl, Patterson
Springs, . Shelby, Washburn.
Lattimore. Mooresboro and on
to Marion. The last named
road was built and the people
along the route, and the whole
county, received the benefit from
The company building the
railroad through upper Cleve
land failed and the road Was
never constructed. The county
paid something over $6,000 pf
the $50,000 voted and cancelled
the remainder of the bonds. The
upper part of the county has
never received theemainder of
the $44,000 to which it would bp
entitled, and this is the first time
the county as a whole has had
the opportunity to make good its
pledge to these people and it
call now do so, and certainly m
good morals it ought to welcome
the opportunity to redeem the
orpmise by .voting $40,000 for
this purpose, which is ' all the
people of " upper Cleveland are
asking it to do.7
Let it be remembered that
failure( to btiild the road at the
time the bonds were voted before
was due to no faultof the people
of,upper Cleveland TThey com
plied; iallv with their part of the
contract, - and they f are now
showing their fait,h in their own
section arid their anxiety 'for the
railroad, by voting on theniselyjs,
speciat.bonds fa '-additiori" to. the
$40,000; whjch they vry -proper:
ly ask the'eounty to vote. Al
ready elections have been, held
in the Casar district and Fallston
district , and each district . has
voted , 140,000 ' so that . if ; the
county votes $40,000 they wijl
have -voted $120,000 for the rail
road through upper CWelpnd
vhich would insaril its prompt
construction.;! 7-y',:.? -'7i,- '7
. The county oaunot afford, ; '.put
pf sheer justice arid fair play, to
rfusa - to meet tht obligation
which it . justly and honestly
P,we,s to upper Clevelancf, to vpte

and Interest Would Amount to
this $40,000. Honesty in
county is as essential as
dividual, and justice cari
aone py meeting ana a
ing our just debt to uppl
land. Remember that
only one way to do it-
to vote for 'the bond issun
attempted explanation 01
ure to ydta for It is ap'uf,
The Interuroan Railway.' .
The second proposition re'&tes
to the voting of $40,"030 for the.
briilding of an 'electric, trolley
line from" Kings"":" Mountain.'
through Shelby and Boiling
Springs to some railroad point ..
in South Carolina.. Already the
;Interurban
Railway has been .

from Greenwood to Spartanbri
on the other. Now the 'con'

or shall we sit supinely by and

"Your vote on, this bond, issue
shall be vour answer to this
question. ' 7 ,. )
