| It
is becoming a matter of grave consideration says the Augusta
Chronicle, how our railroads shall be kept up.
The building of locomotives does not appear to be as difficult
as the making of rails — nor does the procurement of other rolling
stock. To an inexperienced
mind either the building of a locomotive or the founding of a cannon
appears a much more difficult task.
Yet we believe that the first iron rail has yet to be made in
the South. Cannot some of
our ingenious mechanics, assisted by our millionaire capitalists
relieve us from the dangerous dilemma, without compelling a resort to
the temporary make shift of taking up the iron from some roads to
repair others? |
