North Carolina White Rule Debate and Rail Plans
A North Carolina publication urges support for a white rule amendment while detailing railroad expansion hopes for Watanga. It notes Lenor and Northern Railway talks from Chester to Lenoir, possible routing via Cook's Gap near Boone, and standard gauge work. It also covers Senate action excluding Quay, Philippines canned beef, Nicaraguan canal policy, and local reactions to enfranchisement debates. The piece endorses white supremacy as the welfare of the people and urges voters to back the amendment, cites leaders like Settle and Starbuck, and discusses poll tax and registration provisions in sections four and five.
