County Bonds and Railroad Plan Dominate Watauga Appeal
The Watauga Democrat urges approval of a $60,000 bond issue to fund Carolina and Northwestern Railroad extension entering from Stook's Gap, predicting 35 to 40 miles of track, increased population, taxable value, and regional development while praising former commissioner J. E. Finley as a model public servant. It contrasts Republican election laws with Democratic views and endorses the amendment expanding voting access, arguing radicals misrepresent the law and celebrate old grievances.
