Vol. XII. No. 204
' ( Kailroads and KcpmliHlion.
v. buted to The Standard. ;
So much has been eaid and done
recently antagonistic to railroads
that it i j really lef reshing to read
ad article from the. Wilmington Mes
eenger in their behalf.
The article goes back to the time
when! we did not baye them. It
shows forth the trouble and i expense
of marketing and the coat of trane-
porting merchandise'received . The
cost of marketing wheat, Granville
, io Fayetteville, was about 75 cents
per bushel, while the prioe paid was
to $125 per bushel. The coat of
transportation on merchandise, Pe-.-.'raburg
to Oxford, was $1 to 1.25
prj hundred pounds. The saving
frcm the cost of marketing at that
time when compared with the pres
ent, as well as the - saving on the
cost of merchandise returned, it will
readily be seen, is distributed be
tween the producer and the eon
Burner to one of which classes we
all belong. The Messenger closes
with ih'd following teToe remarks
"If you cannot oe a goodxitizen,
do not be an iconoclast. If you are
, not able to be a nation builder, do
not cjnspire with others to be a
nation destroyer. If you cannot
help develop and make glad your
own State, do not be a tool m the
hands of conspirators and bad men
to create a "araste howling wilder
ness" and to make it a land of sor
row and despair. . If yon cannot rise
to the sublime height of lofty, eelf.
. sacrificing patriotismnever play the
part of "dog in the manger" and
help to injure and destroy Kail
. roads are not public enemies but
public blessings, when honestly,
wisely managed. Instead of seeking
to cripple and oppress railroads, a
wise government will be their patron
and friend, and will seek to keep
them remunerative while they are
blessing humanity and serving: the
people' ;,? v,..:, v
Ihe time has been when the
blessings of railroads wereecognized
more than at present, (before we had
them) but it would seem that a
reaction had set in and now there
may be heard about as much cen
sure of them as commendation .
If candidly considered we are codin
pelled to recognize that our pro;
gres3iveness is due to their influence.
This being generally admitted it
must be "the dog in the manger"
spirit, incited by tht impression that
they are getting rich, that prevents
their still being recognized as what
was claimed for them before we had
them.
Oar neighboring county had.no
doubt, been teaching for a genera
tion the blessing- that a railroad
would bring and now that thkv hvJ
it and there is no question that
it has been of inestiniable value to
them we behold them repudiating
the whole thing.
Uranting even that they made a
bad bargain, the faci still remains
that they; hare: the jrdjwithlall its
oeneatg .faij which they
hoRld wmthiftfcli Iti they
think they have paid W dearly; for
" the? haye 'honektly iiade an
agreement which (qBit,.. demands
ought, to. .be fQfii,ed. The Bgree
ment waa honestly entered.intb and"
kepfm good faih. until it waV dia-
coyered thit ,bymeanSofa.algt.t
technicality. it conld beset aside. ! " ""'
It would jeenj... that the least' op
portunity forVie'pudiation w$ taken
holes in law than in
rieht and a
nmo ot the State, knowine this
ought rather to join hLnda with 'the
right than with the law. 1
By repudiation the county sets
the
benefit of the railroad by paving noth
ing in return, other thrjn the freights
and farea, and more than this, the
blow does not land; jwhere it was
aimed but falls cn thJ haHa nf in-
nocent purchasers of
Nor.th Caro
lina (or Stanly county

had faith in the integrity of her
people, Not only this
but the good

leeser decree, the Soutli as well.

not brought forth a railroad thus to
