| Raleigh & Gaston Railroad Company |
| It will be seen by the
proceedings of the Stockholders of the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad
Company, at their meeting held on Tuesday last, that they have
instructed the Board of Directors to subscribe for $200,000 worth of
the stock of the Chatham Railroad Company. We hope that no time will
be lost in getting this vitally important work under way. The vast
mineral treasurers which, when completed, it will develop, will supply
a demand more urgent than has existed at any previous period of our
history. A large number of negroes have been removed from the eastern
part of the State, and their owners will gladly hire them out to work
in so healthy a portion of the State as that which this road will
traverse. |
