Salisbury Watehman. in the belief that if complaints
are made against any railroad officers here, they
ought 10 know it, and have the opportunity of re-
buttng charges if groundless or remedyiug defects
If they really exist, ard feel confident that no
men are more anxious to do justice to all parties
than the officers and agents Of the Wilmington &
Weldon Road. Of course, the more promptitude and
certainty there is in the ardug of goods by this
route the more it will rebound to the interests of the
town and of the Road -
WHAT'S THE MATTER.-Seyeral of our merchants
IN this town, are giving vent 10 serious complaints
against the wilmington, and the North Carolina Rail
Roads There is so much and such unaccountable
detention OF goods at Wilmington Goldsboro and per-
haps other Stations that ought come through to this
place, that those concerned utterly at loss 10
account for It, except upon the presumption of gross
carelessness OF the agents at those places We in
the wilmington Herald, a few days ago, adver-
tlsement headed owner wanted, in which the wri-
ter went on to state that there was bundle OF
shoVels at the depot Tor G. M. & A. T. Jones' OF
Salisbury, ~ e., consignee to the Railroad agent al
Wilmington, &C." Why were they not sent forward
to the Messrs Jones =! Why keep them there and
advertise tor an owner when it was we'll known to
whom they belonged.
Whatever be the of the detentons complained
of, we have reason to believe it will operate pref Judi
claly to the roads concerned. Several of our mer
chants who shipped part of their stocks by the
way OF Charleston, S. c., have received them, and
are daily 10 he at the depot in this place enqulr
ing for the packages they are expecting by the Will
