We wvill Mir. Solomon HIaas the justice to r that these particular grievalces ro comm1iiiitted before lie took chari' e the freight business. They occurred Core the road jumped fron the uithern Security Coim pan y 's frying11 n into Mr. Ton Scott's fieI(-. But a y are till of a piece, and iideed we 1. ye no guaranty that the R(oad is not ing the same now that it did then. 1 Dn the l7th of March, 1877, Messrs.

Yet the charge from Baltimore Chester was 28 eents, and froin 01 ester to Wiiinnsbo'ro 20 cents, (25 its was tle charge but it exceeded prinited taif and a rebiate of ive ti its w-ias allowed.) both together ing 48 cents or. 204 cents less than ien shipped to Winnsboro diec. id of this, almost half the entithe irge was made for the distlance be ccn Wiiiiisboro and Chester. ThI n road refused to take iy mioe Ight in tht way ; so that on ile I I of April anot her lot was shipped Winnsboro~1.1 direct, and the chiar"ege is 75 cents per' hundred. We wish our readers to und~erstami1'~ is.
