| State Convention |
| This body has passed a bill for a Railroad
connecting the Coal Fields with the North Carolina Railroad {the
Chatham RR}. The last
Legislature ought to have passed it. There is immense treasure on Deep
River which the State and the Confederacy now stand in great need of,
but which are almost entirely unavailable. This Road has become an
indispensable requirement, and we rejoice the Convention has provided
for it. |
