Woodruff County News:
The funny man of the News
seems anxious to dismiss my ar
ticle of last week with his usual
vein of levity but there are occa
sions where hilarity are some
what unseemly.
It has not escaped the writer’s
notice that Newspapers in gen
eral are silent on the Rail Road
question, and is it not quite pos
sible there may be some mate
rial reason for such silence.
The News man is perhaps the
only manager of a newspaper
within the three states mention
ed who does not travel on “com
plimentary transportation.” We
remember very well in the days
of the old currency light, how the
Bank organizations inserted in
their circular “Carefully look
after the country newspapers.
Long articles were published
as paid matter extolling the vir
tues of honest money and de
nouncing the advocates of a con
stitutional and scientific curren
cy as frauds and anarchists.
Rail-road companies are purely
commercial affairs and have no
hesitcnc.y in investing in silence
when it is to tlieir commercial
interest to do so.
But Democracy proposes tc
oppose trusts and combines. Why
not then be cori’sistant?
George Rice in his memorable
testimony before the industrial
convention says, Mr. Havemayer
says “ The tarriff is the mother
of trusts.” While I assert that
railways are the father of them,
the breeder of them, from which
the greatest commercial evils of
the day arise” Page 688 Re
port 1900.

The Same Old Story
J. A. Kelly relates an experience
similar to that which has hap
| pened in almost every neighbor
hood in the United States and
has been told and re told bythou
sandsof others. Says: “Last sum
mer I had an attack of dysentery
and purchased a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera andDiar
j rhoea Remedy, which I used ac
| cording to directions and with
i entirely satisfactory results.
; The trouble was controlled much
quicker than former attacks
when I used other remedies.”
Mr.Kelly is a well known citizen
of Henderson, N. C. For sale by

! Thompson of DeView.
manipulation, the standard oil
people have grown from practi
cal insignificanc in 1870toa prac
tical domination of all the impor
tant business of the country to
day.
When the News man says he does
not see how the matter concerns
him, he does not seem to grasp
the idea that this is altogether a
different class of property from
a store or a farm. A railroad is
a public road, all public roads be
long to the people and the rights
of the people are the same upon
them. All a railroad company
ever had or can have over their
roads is the betterments placed
on them and the exclusive right
to serve the people on them. As
com mon carriers they have a
right to reasonable pay for such
sevices and no more.
The expenditures necessary to
prepare the roads for service are
a legitimate element of charge,
but exactions beyond this are a
just cause for complaint and con
cern to every thoughtful citizen.
Who foot all bills but the useful
working classes? It may be an
easy thing to place a burden, but
is a serious thing to go into the
cotton field and other places of
employment and produce the
means to carry the load.
The railroads of W'oodruff co.
are now capitalized at 3 times;
their legitimate cost or more,
that is 3 dollars have already
been borrowed on our credit
while only one is being employed
in our service. Is it no concern
then to the workers, when this
burden is being increased?
The question with these great
1 common carriers is not what the
I service can be done for, but w'hat
j can we make out of the opportu
{nity and services.
| _lf the News man will reflect a
[.little over the rights of a citizen,
I he will see I think a fit subject
j for concern to every lover of liber
| ty. Wm. Penrose.
Our levity, hilarity and anxiety
I to dismiss the article, seems to
! have stirreci up a hornet’s nest

After a short rest, we have again started

ty. At least we are lead to believe
■/his from the fact that one of the
iamily came in person to see how
he. world stood and low and be
lold we havean epistle discussing
News paper tranportation and
die old currency light. Did one
wer see such releveucy on the
nortgage question. This is sim
ply and purely a discussion of a
nortgage. Have private individ
uals a right to mortgage their
property? If so, corporation have
the same right, as it is composed
of individuals.Will a banker loan

tie will, he must go out of busi
ness when a country is filled with
flannel-mouthed hypocrits. Will;
a moneyed man loan $25,000,000.
on a future fancy, when the rail
road stock is already burdened i
with mortgages to the amount of
3 times its value? I would not
loan money on a fancied dream
neither would a man who makes
money loaning a business. Upon
the grounds of common sense
and the Newsman does not claim
but a very meagre portion, we
assert the Cotton Belt is not
mortgaged to the amount of 3
times its value and I defy the
“Aristotle’, of Meredith to prove
to the contrary.

$15,000. What is your collateral?
A mortgage on the road. I’ll give
you an answer this evening. In
the meantime, Mr. Stacey asks
Maj. Stanley’s advice as presi
dent of the bank. I hear the Maj.
say $15,000. on that road, why
Bob must have been to Fair Oaks
or some other seaport. That road
is worth $5,000. and we as busi
ness men, can’t loan him but
$3,000. If $1,000. capitalists are
careful, how much more careful
will million dollar capitalists be?
I don’t blame the Cotton Belt for
getting all they can,. Our Ai istot

ways another party to be consult
ed before you can close a trade.

Rev. Hicks is a bold, fearless

His plan is to take facts and ar

instead of abuse.

gressional convention.
He says ^in’haps 1 am the only
manager of a newspaper without
complimentary transportion. I
will assert it here and now that
there is not a newsparer man in
Woodruff co. that rides free.
But can the hoop-inan of Mere
dith say that? In speaking of
railroad^ passes a short time ago,
he commented on the number of
his own pass to give the party
addressed an idea of the uumber
of passes. Then from his stand
point, who is more liable to be si
lent, the man who pays for what
he receives or the man that re
ceives but does not pay? We wish
to say that we are the friends of
the people and whenever the thun
derbolts of oppression show them
selves, we wall be Johny on the
spot.
In conclusion, we will say that
if there is anyone who wishes to
discuss the mortgage, old curren

portion in the future, will have to
pay for same at the rate of five
cents per line. Yours,

On last Friday, July 18 th 1902,
little Jessimine McDaniel passed
from the realms of swreet child
hood, to the reams eternal. Little
Jessimine was a rose-bud just
beginning to form the petals of fu
ture sweetness; she was a child,
pure as a lily, sweet as the incense
that rises from the alter of hum
an love. She was a patient sufferer
for five weeks and is now resting
in the arms of Jesus. May we all
live such a life that we may meet
the Judge of the quick and the
dead as this little child.
Her mortal remains were interr
ed at Beard’s cemetery. Bro. II.
