The Advantages of a Railroad. i i I i We take pleasure and this oppor- J unity in saying to the people through j 'ho.se lands the railroad will pass < rotn Neal Shoals, on Broad river to inion, that the advantages they will njoy and fully realize are incalcula- I lo. It is the history of every coun- | ry through which railroad lines aro uilt, tho value of the lands are enanced from lifty to one hundred per ent The facilities of transports- i ion aro so much greater, a saving to arm stock, wagons and all other voicles; the opening of a market for ' 11 sorts of farm products, that otherwise inigfit he lost; the encouragefieut to the farmers to diversify their rops so as to meet the increased douands of an increasing population, ecauso railroads always bring in . uore people. People naturally preer to own property and Uvo near a ailrond,?t least, all those who know nd appjp^iate the advantages furlished bjt*railroad facilities. In M>-r'yfcoroV Marion, Darlington, iMorouce and "several other counties n the lower part of this State, since he building of .the several railroads rithiu the past ten'ypjirs, lands that ould havo been bDughVfbr-.fd.OO per icre, now sell all the way from $."> to iii.) p? acre.-.Cfcttdn, tobacco and ruck farming%ar^o*ow' the growing,^ ndustrlos of thnfa^sectjon, whereas, >efore the railrb^^canie nothing but I :otton and corn'were'grown. The people need ndjrfear any damige which fhight acorue from 4ihe de- ] itructiou of growing crops durin sonstruction of the railroad, because ihe. railroad will enter into a contruct ?nd give bonds of indemnity?to pay ill damages done. The assessed lamages frequently amount to more than the farmer would realize if the srops were fully harvested and sold. The land owner need have no fears that a railroad company has any advantages over those guaranteed under the law to the land owner. Taking all things into consideration the Mild owner has better protection under the law, than that vouched safe fa) the railroad company. All persons who do not do what they can to secure a railroad through the section in which they live are simply standing in their own light. We would prefer to give the right of way rather than miss getting a railroad, for in the end the land owner is benefitted, ^ the botfvweefiTs are increasing'and heJ ceroiusr more destructive in tJuf eouthana me one Who fti,.-' B railroad run through his land, or puts I the price out of reason and reach ii [ the one who kills the goose that lays i the golden egg We are satisfied thai t there sire no s.uch short sighted farm ors in this section o'f Union county.
