Kxpress Hates Xews.
The Statesville Laud mark has
published a number of particles on
express rates. Quoting the New
York Times, which paper publishes
information obtained from the Iron
Age, which is pews to most of us,
that for carrying small packages the
express companies have two prices,
one regular, which is paid by the
person who hands over his package
and asks the rate; the other is a
special rate which is given if a per-
8on has somehow learned about it
and asks for a special rate.
Quoting from the Iron Age:
Thus packages of merchandise
worth le6S than $10, if this fact be
stated and payment made, will be
carried to any point in the United
States or Canada, regardless of dis
tance, for 1 cent au ounce, with a
minimum charge of 15 cents. For
advertising and printed matter, the
rate is still lower 1-2 cent an
ounce, with a minimum charge of
10 cents. Most suburbanites have
noted with surprise how cheaply
packages of plants get to tbem from
the nurserymen, and have supposed
that the latter were specially favor
ed by the express companies. , They
are, but only to the extent that
prepayment is not required from
them. Their rate anybody can get
by asking for it and whether the
distance be long or short makes no
difference, the service iu this respect
being like that of the postoftice.
As illustration of how this curious
method of doing business works, the
Iron Age says that a parcel weigh
ing 1C ounces and valuei at $10 was
recently handed in at the counter
of one of the largest express com.
)ni s at its New York headquarters
to be delivered in a town in this
State, ou which the regular rate was
$1 per 100 pounds, and 5 cents
minimum for 1 pound or less. The
late named was 'io cents, but when
request was made foi a reduced rate
10 cents was given. While in this
case the package was to be carried
only about 300 miles, it is to be
noted that for the same charge it
might have been sent 3,000 miles.
This method of transacting business
having been criticised by theshipper,
the clerk replied that the lower rates
were given when called for.
A New Depot Helmed
The Southern Railway after con
sidering the matter for a number of
years, has finally handed Statesv lie
a lemon in the shape of a letter
which practically admits the jus
tice of the claim, but cannot build
owing to so many demands.
The Statesville people will now
go to the Corporotion Commission.
Had they gone there at first, they
would have saved time. They have
only met with the fate of others.
The difference being that the prac
tical business in charge after mon
keying for a long, long time and
listening to smooth tales and siren
songs, decided it was time to ass a
categorical question and insist on a
direct answer. Then it was the
plea of poverty was set tip.
The Protracted Wet Weather
Never within the memory of man
baa there been so much wet weath
er. The rain is general, not confined
to this section or to the state. It
has greatly damaged crops, especial
ly cotton and corn. Where wheat
and oats have not been carefully
cared for it ha9 been damaged in
the field, and in the barn after it
was "hauled in."
In many places, especially on low
lands, corn has not been plowed or
hoed. The land is so washed and
the crops so greatly damaged by
washing and failure to plow, work
has been bo retarded that it will be a
strenuous job to clean corn and cot
ton of grass and weeds.
The hoe is a slow farm imple
ment bnt it will have to be called
into use this year. The weeder and
the harrow which have taken the
place of old fashioned implements
are of little service this year. The
double or single plow and hoe will
have to be pnt into use.
The Supreme Court of the State
of New York recently rendered a
decision that judicially decides that
a negro should not be awarded as
heavy damages in a suit for false ai
rest as a white man. A Pullman
car porter (ho was a tolored man)
hid sued a man for having him ar
rested on the false charge of stealing
and the jury awarded him $2500
damages, which the judge Bet aside
and said that a negro was not ent -tied
to as heavy damages for being
wrongfully imprisoned as a white
man.
If a Southern judge had render
ed such a decision the whole North
would have held up its hands in
holy horror at our gross injustice to
the negro!

iiicsy ior not treating tne negro

We quote one sentence from his
letter:
"They expect "Sambo" to hew
all the wood but forever be elbowed
from the fire. He is expected to
driw all the water and not get a
drop. Lead them up to the sugar
barrel, and not get any of the sugar.
BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.

over the property with a view to
opening it at an early date as a resort
for tourists. Many additions will
be made and considerable monev
will be spent in beautifying the
property, which is now one of the
most beautiful estates in the South
With it are many acres for nuutiu
grounds, golf hubs, tennis courts,
base ball grounds. Ihis place is
within two miles of abundance of
nail, wild turkeys and other game.
The grounds surrounding the
house contain 30 acres with large
fountains with every specie of trees

are few if any places enjoying belter
climatic conditions.
