THE ROANOKE NEWS. . SATURDAY NOVEMBER 0, 1878. TUEPETEKHBUHG U.IILUOAD. I was much surprised to learn tbat while the Wilmington t).l Weldon. Raleigh nrl Gaston m1 the Seaboard sot lliannice Railroads all made liberal reductions in tbeir rates, both passenger and freight, that tbs Petersburg refused te make any rooce-sion on either visitor to the tair or articles far exhibition, and would nut even ran ae excursion train lor the benefit ol the lair, hut at the same time ran an ex cursion traio Irani Weldod to Richmond and return lsr the reduced price ol' 3, tbuf not satisfied with out aiding the lair lUej CDUCtT'liru .U mo I1UUJ Wtldon to the Richmond lair. Eitracta Iron correspondence, from Weldon, N. C , in tbe Raleigh Observer Not. 3rd, signed. T. Jb. I beg to call your attention to the above extract from tbe Raleigh Observer of Nov. Ird, and to req iest as ao act ol justice to this Company the publication ol a plain vtatirtent ol facts, lo the culucnni el your paper. Not nne tingle Item in I lie charges mado by the correspondent ol the Observer has the slightest lonadatioo in lact. The Petersburg Kiilroad made every conces sion asked lor by the managers of the lair, and made some of them at tbe sacrifice el other Interests. Passeegers were csnhd to the Weldon Fair oo all trains during the continuance ol the Fair, and returned at hall rates, All articles intended lor ex hibition were transported tn, and from Weldon at half rates. The Petersburg R. R advertised, and ran an excursion train oa Nov 89th, Irom Petersburg to Weldon and returo. selling the round trip tickets at $1 SO. To do this, they at very serious inconvenience te themselves, robbed their Tegular through trains of cars. A daily aps:ial train would tuve beeo run but for the lollowiog (act : , Tbe Petersburg R. R has but two pas senger cars that are not in daily use on regular traim. The Superintendent tried t hire can lor this purpose tram the R. F. & P. R. R. the R. APR. U. the R. & 0. R. R. the IV. fc W. R R. and tbe 8 & R. R. R , and tailed to get a car Irom any vt them. It will be easily seen that to ran a daily special train was a physical im possibility. We did tbe next best thing in our power by putting excursion tickets goad on all trains at reduced rates oa sate at every station oo the road, and kt-epiag them oa sale during the owiin sance of ibe fair, thus practically giving a special train to Weldon and return three times id the twenty-lour hours. Free passes were given to the parties silver' tising tbe Fair, and every thing in the power of tbe Petersburg R. R. wa done to contribute ta Its success. With refer ence to the txcursion tn the Richmond Fair, our friends in North Carolina must remember that four filths of tbe Petersburg R. R. is in Virgioia. sod tbe management at the Richmond Fair bad right to demand something approaching imparti ality, in our efforts lo aid our patron at troth ends of tbe line. Very respectfully. R.
