There were fifty;. ties in attendance, those from Ashe-iH Messrs. II. P. Andersen, Geo! V. Miller, J. M. Israel, ir. The an interesting and instruct-! i session was i ive one. A! number of papers upon top-! lies afl ectin the association's work were; jread. An animated discussion was held! Mas to he enlargement of work in the disJ 1 1 r i trict and a list of fifteen towns was Is This Not Excessive ? r i : t -, j i . i We have been shown a freight bill for one car load of land plaster shipped from Saltville, Va., to 4le.anaer's, on which the following charges were made : From Saltville to paint Rock, j $21.00 From Paint Kocklto Alexander's,! 20.40 Total, In this car load made $41.-10 wefe twejve tons of plaster. The above rate is !at the rate of $8.41 J perl ton. This bertainly Reems ex cessive for the goolds, as such things as plaster, salt, .etc., by car load lots, are usually carried at Very low rates. Aside from the charges ib gross, it will be no ticed that the. charges, from Paint Rock to Alexander's, a distance of 32 miles, only lacks GO cent of; being as much as is charged from Saltvjlle to Paint Rock, a distance ioi over zyy miles, lnis is certainly out of all just proportion, and we must think, is a mistake in the make jup of the bill., Tbje rjailroads can afford and do pretend to! give special induce ments for ike shipmeni of fertilizers, for they are used and used only in producing freights for the roads!;. but $3.41 per ton for less than 250 njilesl by the car load, pertainly seems excessive. We ask the attention of the railroad authorities to this. If the bill was made out in accord ance with rates, they j should, in justice to the farmers and! improved agriculture, )e reduced !; if not, the j error should be promptly corrected and avoided.
