Flour Inspection and sack Salt.
Iii the ilillsborough Recorder Of the
9th inst, we find communication adj
dressed 10 the members of the Legis-
lature from Randolph county, on the
subject Of Flour Inspection at Fay
ettcville and the size of the sacks Of
salt sold in this market. The editor
OF the Recorder says it is from the pen
OF an intelligent gentleman Of Ram
dolph. This may be so. but we are
surprised that any intelligent man. ac-
quainted with the subjects under con-
sideration, should write such an article
as that.
The writer commences by urging the
necessity Of having two Flour Ware
houses aud two Inspectors in this town,
aud gives as a reason that wagoners
are frequently delayed more than a
day to have a few barrels inspected /;
and further. that the present Inspec-
tor :" has lost the confidence of great
many y no have been in the habit Of taxi
ing their -four to Fayetteville" With
regard to the first reason assigned,
We understand that it is a very rare
thing for WAGNER to wait day to
have his Hour inspected. and that not
one case Of the kind has occurred this
season. Last year. while the present
large aud commodious warehouses was
being built. and while there Was lalg-
er amount oil flour arriving at this place
than ever before known. and while The
Inspector WAS compelled to store his
Hour ia different small warehouses at
great inconvenience, there were few
who had to wait sumo time for their
turn. and i'll these instances, no doubt,
the main cause Was their coming into
town late in the day. But now that
We have new and large warehouse,
such delay is not likely 10 occur again.
The second reason assigned. viz: want
Of confidence IN the present Inspector.
causes surprise on the part of every one
ztallacquaintrd with Mr.. SedberrY. He
sagentleman every way worthy Of CON
iidence. and is known as man Of strict
integrity and honesty Of purpose and
We can assure the writer Of the article
alluded to that those who lack conf.
dence in him do not rightly estimate
his character nor appreciate his posi-
tian in this community.
Again. The writer objects to the ap-
poiuimsnt Of ali Inspector by the Coun-
" Court-says that some of the Ju,ti-
ees VI the Peace are considerable -four
dealers, aud that the selection should
be made BY ,lisinterested persons. In
regard 10 this objection. We know Of
