-.THE ELECTION TO-DAV.
We- iiope our readers '-will not - for
get, any of them, that this is the day
of election, buTlet 'li hands go out
early and give up another day to
their country; and work with energy
to baffle-again the desperate efforts
of Radicalism to gain; a ' foothold in
this noble-old county the birth
place of our liberties. We hear that
the Republican party has been for
sometime past concentrating its
forces, and that they, nre united erf
ttsuol, and .determined to elect- thoif
candidates for Justice of the Peace
and Constables in the Charlotte
Township; and it is also said (we
trust. without cause) that the Demo
crats and Conservatives are listless
and indifferent, forgetful, of the vast
importance of this election to every
interest of the community. The Con
stitutional Am ehdments are impor
tant; they belong to the State, but
the Magistrates are ours, to govern
us at home directly. Then for the
sake of honor, peace and capable of
ficers arouse ye, friend, and onoe
again let sunset and victory together
rest upon your banners this day.
You have the power to prevent the
fate, which would thrust you into ne
gro domination, let not, for the sake
of your children, this opportunity be
lost.

DEAR'toiR: A tew days since vou
did me the honor to request nie to
write a short article on Rail monop
olies, corporations, Sx. You know 1
am not much given to this kind of
thing, and that I have settled views
in regard to these subject, such
perhaps, as, are not generally enter
tained. I am of the people, with the
curse of the fall upon me, "for by
the sweat of my brow do I eat bread."
You know that I am a very poor
man, and that all my interest and
sympathy are with the laboring class.
I never owned a share of either Rail
road or Bank Stock in my life, and,
unless the future is more propicious,
neyer can hope to. Now there are
two objects and two methods, so to
speak, of building Railroads. The
first by State aid and local subscrip
tions, the object of which is to devel
cpe the country and benefit the im
mediate section through which it
runs. The other by capitalists,
whose immediate and primary pur
pose is to benefit themselves, and
both are legitimate. When a
Railroad is built, by the l first
plan, it is the duty of the Legislature
granting the charter to see that State
and individual interests are fully pro1
tected. Economical administration
and low freights are the principle
among them.
When a capitalist, particularly
from a distance, invests his money in
constructing railways, his chief ob
ject and concern is about the.profits,
and the Legislature has' no more
right to interfere with this than it
lias to meddle with the dividends, or
money invested In cotton factories, or
any other legitimate business. ' But
every thing is "tending to consolida
tion and grinding soulless monop
oly," and must the people and their
creatures, the Legislature, stand
quietly by and see them crush the
life out of producer and consumers
withoutan effort to save ? It is ckiarly
the duty of Legislatures to be careful
how they grant charters But if a
Railroad is built by private capital,
I cannot see What righi they have to
regulate the freight bill any more
than this can the tariff of charges
at a factory. If a merchant were to
have the exclusive control of a par
ticular line of goods, don't we al
know he would demand his own
price for his wares, so with the
planter. When a snort cotton
'.cfops is made, he gets more for the
staple per pound than when- four
millions of bales are upoithc marj
ket. Supply -and demand regulates
the priee the world over, arid the
jiame holds good with Railroads. If
rne company pwnsall the Railroads
that run thifough ascertain section,,
it hostile ipi9pQif4Q'ti carrying
trade, and will usd its power..- accord
ingly, arid in this, how do they differ
from other people?
A great deal has been said in? this
and other immm-iitieaSis,; regards
the management, of the Roads un-
aer me control ot th-e Southern Se
curity Gpany 1 anv for doing

ordinary course of human affairs,,
the object had in view in the pur
chase, and as to the Roads this Com
pan
v num. now are me peouie w-
jured? for without its money me
Roads would still be non est.
If a pound ot treignt never passea
ovei-of these Roads, still the country
would be greatly benefitted. How?
Bv the mdnev nut in circulation, by
the expenditures in their construe-
Hnn.- Thf rmsmle against Railroad
monopoly is as unwise as it is detrir
mental. The Legislature and the
Courts are powerless to afford relief
without violating the inherent
right of private property. I regret
to see this tendency to concentra
tion, consolidation and monopoly,
but am not willing to violate all law,
both human and divine, to check it
There is only one remedy, and that
i:?, to entep the field with them, and
by com petion. "break through the
battlements of these close corpora
tions. A Railroad owned by private
individuals, to a very great extent, is
like any other private property, like
an incorporated company, to make
iron or spin cotton or wool, or to
1 . , , . ' i 1 a
manufacture ice by heat, or to light
the city with gas. IftheSounthernSe-
curity company is exhorbitant in its
ff !,,, 1 n,,,,;,;,,
tantts of freights-, build a competing
line, just as in some cities where the
gas is regarded as too high, new
works are erected or parties go back
to the old fashioned tallow dip or
kerocene.
Corporation, whether Railroad,
Bank, or for any other purpose, are
notoriouly soulless. Power is con
stantiy
ho full'
lipping from the many to
tiio
power of liberty, are all truisms.
T,l
! I
one class combine, the others must
do so too. The riirhts of a commu-
nitv, or of a particular portion of a
- ' . 1
community, cannot be protected or
. - .1 a '
preserved uy ine auopiiou oi strings
of resolutions. To resolve that Rail
roads, or other monopolies, shall
cease is about as enectual and as
damaging as the school boy's at
tempt to bring down the elephant
with a pop-gun. The combination
must be for a purpose, and that pur
pose must be to build competing
lines. If this cannot be done, then
the victim must grin and endure the
extortion as-best he can.
Capitalists put money in Railroads
to make money, and not for the sen
timental purpose of becoming public
benfactors, and the sooner this is un-
derstood the better, and it'is those
who never contribute one dollar to
wards their construction, that grunt
the loudest at these charges. When
i cotton factory declares a dividend
of 20 per cent no one talks of a grind
ing monopoly, yet there is no Rail-
oad in our country not even the
Southern Security Company that
pavs its stockholders near that much.
It is time h question was under-
stood, for it vitally effects' every in-
terest, and the prop
terest, and the proper steps taken to
counteract the evils that the future

peting for our trade, and the inevta-
ble' consequence m ust be this as

reduction of freights and Char
lotte become the grand distributing
and shipping point for the larger part
of several States. .

The Cotton Crop.
There is nothing in the report of
the Bureau of Agriculture, just pub- j
hshed, which encourages the belief
that the cotton crop of 1873-74 will
be a large one. 1 he main reliance

ured out a crop ol lour and a halt

Agricultural Commissioner says that
i i i i i . , t
enough lanci, piaiueu in cotton, nas
bppn iibandoned "to briny the acre-
age down to what it was last year.
All, therefor that we have to rely
on is a crop equal in amount to that
of 1872-3, it the season be a favor-
able to the staple, and it the labor of
the country be as plentiful and as
efficient as it was last year. What

In the first place the present sea
son has unquestionably been, so far,
less iavorable than' the preceding
season, l he Agricultural commis
sioner only confirms the letters of
private correspondents, and of the
acute correspondents of the Charles
ton JS'eirs and Courier, in saying that
the cron is from two to four weeks
later, that the wet weather has given
the planters more work" than they
can do, and the cotton worms and
caterpillars have made their appear
ance. Add to these facts the further
fact that labor is. dearer and more
scarce and less eflieient than it was
last season, and the public, who wear
not tne speculators spectacles, will
ee at once ho poor is the chanc e
of making a crop equal to that of
1862-73, unless the rest of the cur-
rent season be as extraordinarily Ia
vorable as the season of 1870-71,
