he Hampstead Democrat most justly thinks the
four dollars per bale freight on cotton from and
ton to New Orleans, is fair compensation, ter
states that the planters on upper Red Riy- size
re determined upon building hatboats and ma
ing down their cotton before submitting to con-
rtion. Many boats are already being con sess
cted, and tie Democrat hopes that every daa,
will follow The example before paying more
