If it develops that tha rate is really;.'1 confiscatory t'.ie State should be glad to aose. Indeed, publio' sympathy should now incll-ie ' to the railroads, for they hardly stand 'a fair chance. A rate may not be confiscatory and yet nfay ha illiberal and unfair we remain firmly con vinced that the 2 1-4 cent provision ,fhoulJ never have been passed.

In this connection your correspondent wants to say In regard to the Southern Railway Com pany that the people Of Mebane were not compelled to go to the courts, corporation commission or to the Legislature to get these needed Improvements. At the request of the Business Men's Association, Superintendent Bennett and Master of Trains Briggs came here and, after going over the situation fully, an agreement was reached which was satisfactory to all parties. The improvements that are being made will ibe a great con venience to the shippers of . jaenane and to the traveling public as welL Tourr correspondent believes that If all towns and shippers would adopl mis policy Instead of going into me court with every trivial matter that the railroads and the, people would get . along better and your corres pondent wants to add his regard to the recent trouble between the rail roads, the Stats and the courts.
