"We are gratified to learn that the Wilmiagton and Weldon liailroad ' eathorities have altered the Wilson freight rates, so that they are now the same as the Goldsboro rates. Wilson is now put on the same footing as Goldsboro, for which we are indebted to Hon. R. li. Brid gers President of the road, Capt. J. J 1 i ine General snperinten den t and Mt. Sol. Haas General Freight Agent. Our merchants - and other shippers are under many obligations to these excellent officers, which they fully; appreciated for securing such a beneficial arrangement for them. It has been a subject of complaint for sometime, . that Wilson did not ha Ye a fair showing in the matter of freight rates, but all these f disadvantages are now happily ended, and the same facili ties extended to Wilson as are en joyed by any locality on the road. Oar citizens, we are sure, will unite in awarding the credit due Presi dent Bridgers and his able and efficient assistants, for their liberali ty towards them. -Wilson Advance. Some people are very easy to satisfy. For sixteen years , to our knowledfre, the Wilmincrton and Weldon Bailroad has discriminated most outracreousVv acrain&'he town of Wilson. At one timo e bus ness people of Wilson . wployed a wigon! train to run to Goldsboro, to haul j their freights to and Iro. They were fthns able to maintain a line of , wagoras.on a twenty-four mile route, alongfe.de of the Wilmington and Wetdan Kailrdad, and save money on their shipments of xjotton, and their' goods which came from the North to j Wilson merchants con isigned to Goldsboro. We all remember the incident of Hranbh'ahd Hines taking the sheriff and forcing open the warehouse at Wilson to com Del the delivery of their goods, which though marked to Goldsboro, the railroad, authori ties put off at Wilson,, and demand r. ing the Vilson freight charges. It would be an , interminable job to recite Ihe numberless instances of rxtortionate outrage the VVilming ' ten-and Weldon Hailroad has per petrated against the . business peo pie and interests of Wilson, it is enough to say, that, with the - trade it has driven away from Wilson to Goldsboro, and the excess of freight charges it has extorted from that town, atnount to more than double the cost.of the twentv-four miles of railroad from Wilson to Goldsboro. x When wo were superintending ,. , the construction of the postoffice building at Kaleigh, a manufactur ing firm in Wil son wanted to bid : on the joiner work. Asking for car Toad rates from Wilson to 'Golds - bo roy-the reply was $16 per car; while on the North Carolina Road vr from Goldsboro to Raleigh, jus , ; double the distance, the rate offered was $8 per; car- Of course the Wil- ' son firm did not put in for the job Another Wilson party "took' the contract 16 furnish the1 Raleigh . building a million of brick but he could "not pay the charges on the Wilmington and Weldon Road, and had to move to Goldsboro on the line of the North Carolina Road. , We undertook to get the stone for the building from Wilson coun ty,but the freight charged was more to Goldsboro, thirty miles, than it cost from Salisbury to Raleigh, 130 mues.1,, Ul . J Comparedwith past experiences and practices it is no doubt a ereat boon to Wilson to set its freights I from Northern points Ah the 1 Gfolds- j uuru ruwj; uui woy wo points Lwtm- tysfour miles apart should pay the same freight charges fVom New Baltimore or Norfolk, we York, Caht BeC ' . .
