RAILROAD FREIGHTS.
TVe trust that our Legislature,
before its adjournment, will pass a
law forbidding Railroad Companies
from discriminating against local
freights. This unjust discrimiua
tion against local freights by Rail
road Companies is a mitter which
should by all means be stopped, and
we call upon our legislators to take
action upon it nt once. It is an
utrae which should no longer be
tolerated, and an unjust burden
from which our people should be
speedily relieved. Its gross injus
tlce will readily be seen bv simply
citing a few instances. AYe
will
begin right here at home. The
Merchants of this place are charged
a higher rate on their goods if they
are delivered at Moncure, than if
they are carried on to Fayotteville
via Sanford and then brought back
by Sanford to Egypt being trans
ported nearly 100 miles farther!
At Franklinton on the R. & G. R.
RM cotton is sent to Raleigh (2S
miles distant) and then comes right
back bv Franklinton on to Norfolk
cheaper than if sent direct from
Franklinton to. Norfolk. At Con-1
cord, in Cabarrus county, the Mer- them by the Constitution, how can it B'dnl; aml tbiuks it aJvancej the
cliants have their goods sent to be wrong for other gentlemen to do f:irming interest in his vicinity at
Charlotte and then brought b vck ' the very same thing? And yet the j least twenty-five per cent, during its

every Kail road in the State. Why,
Actually in some sections along the
Carolina Central Rail Road, wagon
trains arc running in successful op
position to the Locomotive !
Now, this should not be so, and
it is within the power (as certainly j
it is the duty) of the Legislature to I
apply a remedy. Let them follow
the example of the Wisconsin Leg
islature, which five rear

this matter in hand and

interest ho has thus created, lie

tinning the use; but so long as he
maintains the use, he must submit
to the control." The Court goes
on to say still further : "In countries
where the common law prevails, it
has been customary from time im
memorial for the Legislature to de
clare what shall be a reasonable com
pensation under such circumstan
ces." The compensation or toll of
all public Millers is regulated by
the Legislature, and why not then
the compensation of Railroads?
They are the creatures of the Leg
islature, and owe their very exist
ence to legislative enactments. They
arc public highways, in a certain
Bense, and should not be allowed to
be operated so as to injure instead
of benefitting the public. We write
this in no spirit of hostility to Rail
Roads, but simply to denounce a
glaring injustice daily perpetrated
upon our people. Wc believe that
Railroads are of great benefit, and
tend greatly to the building up and
development of any country, and
that is just what we wish them to
do, and kot to oppress the public.
We hope the Legislature will act
upon this matter. It will be of
more real, substantial benefit tlian
their "retrenchment." Since
Wisconsin legislated on this ques
tion other States have followed her
example, and this winter our 6-ster
State, South Carolina, passed a sim
ilar law, protecting her citizens
from these unjust freights. Will
not then the Legislature of "Nnrtb
Caroliua do as much for the citizens
of -"the Old North KtntA?" w
will see !
BE CONSISTENT.
The Senate last week passed a bill
greatly reducing the salaries of the
State officials, and the question
was asked during the debate on the
bill, "Does the reduction proposed
take place at unce?" Mr. Graham,
the especial champion of the bill,
replied, "I cannot answer as a ques
tion of law, but as a matter of fact,
those who do not accept the situa
tion at once, might as well save their
travelling expenses to the next Nomi
nating Convention"! Now let us
see what the law does say (and we
must confess cur surprise at the
Senator's admitted ignorance of it.)
The Constitution of the State (our
fundamental law) in speaking of the
compensation of State officers (See.
Art. Ill, sec. 15) epressly declares
that it "shall neither be increased
! nor diminished during the time for
which they shall have been elected.
So that our State Constitution ex-
I pressly foibids any reduction of the
salaries of the present state officers,
and yet if the legislature should
attempt to violate the constitution
in this particular and the officers
insist upon their constitutional rights,
they ai e publicly threatened by the
Senator from Lincoln! We trould j
remind the Senator that in his zeal I
in redncino- the comnensation allowed i
in reducing the compensation allowed !
jbv law to himself.
If it is right for
j members cf the General Assembly to
"
, receive me compensation allowed j
i. . -.i
aoing j ' vonsisteucy mou an a
jewel." i
There is still another view to take i
of this matter. Every member of
the General Assembly has taken an
oath to support this Constitution,
which forbids this attempted reduc-
tion in the salaries of th e State officers.
And vet there is presented to uub-
he view the unseemly rpectacle of !
members of the Legislature attempt
ing to do iudirectly what the CoDsti- j
tution (which they have sworn to

years been readers of newspapers
are always taking the lead in the de

variety of subject?, and expressing
their views with greater fluency,
clearness and correctness.
A City in Two States.
Bristol is perhaps the only city in
the world that has two mayors, two
city governments, police, &a, and
that is taxed in two States. The
line between Tennessee and Virginia
is in the centre of Main street, and
it gives rise to many funny
scenes; as, for example, the runaway
couple need no coach-and-four but
arm-in-arm, sep across Main street
and are wedded. The fugitive com
mits a crime in Virginia, goes to the
pavement on the other side of the
street, and talks defiantly to the officer
on the opposite, who has a warrant
far his arrest A stumble or a too
bold disposition will sometimes how
ever bring him to griel Several in
stances have occurred of fugitives be
ing hustled across the line by a
party prepared while in the act of
holding such a conversation, and
they tell of a man who defiantly
perched himself on a pile of store
boxes within six feet of the line jeer
ing the officers on the other side, but,
unfortunately for him, some more
law-abiding citizen tilted the boxes,

Mr. Editor: Please allow me to
suggest to the farmers of Ghatham
the idea of forming themselves into
Agricultuml Clubs, consisting of
from eight to twelve members, whose
duty it should be to meet at the
house of some member, one day in
every month, and walk or ride over
his farm, and interchange views as
to his mode of operations. They
should also exchange agricultural
books, papers, etc., and appoint
members at one meeting to read es
says at the next upon the best prep
aration and cultivation of the soil
for all the principal products, what
crops pay best, the most approved
method of raising and wintering
sheep, the best breeds, etc. Prize
lots should be cultivated to promote
emulation, and the best farming im
plements, seeds, etc., discussed. We
think such organizations would act
as a very great stimulus to the farm-
i ing interest. JDesiues, they would
be worth a great deal socially, in
getting up a better feeling and more
intimate relations amonsr neighbors.

FOR THE ItECOKD.
"Williams's Towxsnir,
Feb. 17th, 1879.
Mr. Editor: I have been think
ing for some time that I would write
a few lines for the Record, but have
postponed it until the present, hop
ing to hear from some of the more
experienced farmers of Williams's
Township. Every week we hear
from other portions of the count v.
j and I think wo have as good farmers
in this section, as can be found in
the county, but the most of them
have been silent so far.
I tlunk it unnecessary to offer any
congratulations on the success of
your paper, as you have already re
ceived so many from different sourc
es. I will simply state, that I think
we have a paper that we may all be
proud of, and if it receives the pa
tronage it justly deserves, it will be
of lasting benefit to the farmers of
Chatham, and do much towards de
veloping the resources of our long
neglected county.
There is a good deal said in the
Record in regard to the plan of
working our public roads, "no-fence
system," and occasionally some one
mentions the "dog law.'' And one
will admit that we have too many
dogs, and that they are a great pest
to sheep raises, but I do not think
the Legislature will have much to
say on the dog question soon, as
they think it is not popular. I think
we would do well to exterminate one
species of the canine race the fice,
especially the bench leg species, for
they are frequently the cause of
other dogs killing so many sheep.
I differ with Paul Wade, and oth
ers, as to the best plan of working
our public roads. I am opposed to
taxation, for we are heavily burdened
with taxes now. I will merely sug
gest my plan for keeping up public
highways. 1 am for putting more
labor on the roads, say from the age
of 16 to 50 years and exempt none,
except Ministers of the Gospel, and
a regular keeper of a Public Mill.
By doing that, the different overseers
will have more hands, and then hold
them responsible for the condition of
the roads. Don't let us complain so
much of a law until it has been prop
erly enforced. We need not expect
good roads during the winter season,
but I think they would be much bet
ter if they were properly worked in
the month of August
As for the "no-fence" law I think
the majority ought to rule. Some
think the time has not yet come
for it, but if we wait until we are all
ready for it, the time will never,
come. True, many disadvantages
will attend the adoption of the "no
fence" law, but I think it will be best
for landholders and tenants after
we become accustomed to it. Iu
Virginia and some other States that
I have traveled through they seem
to manage the system very suc
cessfully, and their stock is far supe
rior to ours. I have no doubt we
would have better stock, and our
land would improve more rapidly
if we did not pasture it so closely.
I differ with my friend, Col. Rives,
in regard to pasturing, lie says
that it we adopt the "no-tence ys
tera, we will be deprived of our har
vest pastures and also of the mast.
These are both objections to it, but
ray impression is that by allowing
stock to trample our land so much,
injures it more than the crops we
raise on it I think so much tramp
ing and rooting, when our land is
wet, land filling up ditches, will more
than counterbalance our harvest past
ures and mast, but I find that most
tenants are opposed to it, especially
the colored people.
Mr. EJitor, before closing, I wish
to ask you a question. Some of the
readers of the Record wish to know
the name of the old lady that was so
successful in hatching chickens some
time, ago? (If not too personal.)
How is her brood growing off, and
did she have to ' cluck" much to
make them follow ?
Yours truly,

Mr. Editor: As a great number
are writing to you every week on dif
ferent subjects, and but few on the
subject of education, I ask leave to
let the readers of the Record know
how we are getting along in that line.
We have erected a very good one
story house, twenty by thirty feet,
weatherboarded and ceiled, six win
dows, two doors, and one stone
chimney. Said house being about
one hundred yards north-east of
Love's Creek Baptist Church. The
furnishing of the house is not yet
complete but I think it will be soon.
The school commenced at the new
house the 10th of Febrnry, under
the control of our accomplished
teacher, H. H. Siler. Wo are ali
proud to believe that "he is the right
man in the right place." The school
numbers about, forty, who are busily
engaged in the great pursuit of ed
ncatiou. Iu the following lines, I
describe the motive of Love's Creek
School:

When we mnt part,

Though one in heart.
Yet let u cheerful be

Hoping in heaven to met
No more to part.
No more this time, hoping to hear

Grenrboro', Feb. 21st, 1ST?.
Dear Record: I have been want
ing to write you a letter for some
time, but somehow I have not had a
chance before now. I cannot prom
isee that it will be a very interesting
one, for I know nothing about the
Fence Law, cr, the . Senate, or how
the farms around Greensboro ' are
getting on; but I do know that I
love Chatham, Pittsboro, and the
Record, and that is the principal
reason why I am writing this letter.
I felt so proud for Chatham the oth
er day when I heard a gentleman
say, "that the land in Chatham, was
a great deal better than that in Guil
ford." "We have received three cop
ies of the Record, since we have
been in Greensboro', and I think
you Mr. Editor, would be very
much pleased, to see how much pleas
ure your dear paper gives; we all
generally make a rush f jr the paper
as soon as it comes in.
There was a horrible murder here
the other night, a Mr. Parker, was
knocked down, robbed, and died in
a few hours. It caused considerable
excitement, but not half as much as
it would have done, if it had been in
Pittsboro', for I know if the deed had
been committed there, your "yonng
deputy sheriff" would long ere this,
have caught and landed the guilty
one in jail.
The weather has been bitterly cold
for the last few days. The high
winds seem more like March, than
sunny February.
I hear, that the enterprising youDg
lawyer, Mr. T. B. Womack, has very
lately returned, from a visit to "Wil
mington; and 1 fcnow, that he re
ceived a very hearty welcome from
all in your place. :
I like Greensboro, but of course it
can never be the same to me, as the
dear old home where I have spent so
many happy days; sometimes, such a
longing comes over me to go back,
that I feel as if I can never be recon
ciled to my new home.
I must close, now. AVith many
wishes for the wide circulation of the
Record, and the success of its editor,
I am,
Very truly,
K.S.

Mr. Editor; The Record is high-
jy esreemea wnerever rean, ana as
your columns are open to all I will
write you a iew lines, uuue a
flourishing colored school has been
taught in this neighborhood by
Algernon Durham for the past two
months. The session closed a few
days ago with an exhibition, consist
ing of speeches, dialogues and com
positions by the scholars, which would
have done crerut to the white race.
t "ii l r t ii

"no-fence" question. Let the Legis
islature fix it so that the people can
have a chance to vote on it and say
whether they want it or not. The
roads seem to be the great hobby
now. I think the men that keep tbe
most fuss are the men that do not
work them. No man has proposed
an' plan to alter the present system.
I will say run up to fifty year instead
of forty-five, and give the convict
labor to the roads, and whi'e the
convicts are on the road each over
