'- Hero are tho corn rates to some of the points of distribution in North Caro lina! . " ' t '. . , . . ; New Berne to Wilmington, Ac per 100 lbs - . "'Baleigh. 14c." " ; i M Cotumbia, 17c" " i rf . " Charlotte, 18c. " " - .; Augusta, 20c " ' " '-'y-M Charleston, 20c M " , The rate to Baleigh would bo 19 cents, and to other N. C. R. B. points propor tionately higher, if the Midland Road did not keep the rates down by persist ently refusing the proportion fixed by Mr. Bismarck Haas, Gen. Traffic Mana ger for the 'Associated Sail ways of Vir ginia and the Carolina. e In this connection the following table of distances may be interesting: New Berne to.Wil., 143 miles, 9c. , " . " Raleigh, 108 " 14c. " Columbia, 835" 17c. r Charlotte, 283" 18c. 44 - Augusta, 441 " 20c. . Charleston, 849 "20c. New Berne to Golds boro, 59; Golds boeo to Raleigh, 49 miles. ' Raleigh and Charlotte would be 19c. and 23c if tho Midland charged in pro portion to tho North Carolina (R. & D.) Road. The other points above are all reached over Wilinisgton and Weldon Road. . Now is this not a pretty state of af fairs? Dealers tell us that Raleigh would take the entire corn crop of Hyde county, but for the prohibitory rates of the North Carolina-Richmond and Danville Railroad. Prior to Sep'- 1, 1881, the corn rate from Vow Berne to Raleigh was 9 cents per hundred, but on that date it was ad vanced to 14 cents by the arbitrary Mr. Haas. The Mid land declined to take the increased proportion, which brought tho rate to 11 cents per hundred-weight, Oa that occasion Governor J arris woke up and instructed bis Attorney General to proceed against-the North Carolina Lease 1 But that was all. May 29, 1888, the- rate was advanced to IS cents by the railroad, but the Mid land declining to follow, brought the rate to 12? cti. ; Latter it was in the same way ad vanced tor 19 cents, and the Midland declining to take any increased rate, brings the corn rate from New Berne to Raleigh to 14 cents per hundred-weight at the present writing. Have North Carolina producers, ship pers and consumers no rights which a great Railroad magnate of Virginia, by way of Germany and Georgia, is bound to respect? DuringTall these advances toward em bargo of Eastern corn, the Mid land North Carolina Railway Company has maintained its original rate of 5 4-10 cents per hundred-weight charged prior to Sept. 1, 1881.
