Railroad Fare - The editor Of the Charlotte
Wing complains of a rule recently adopted on the
North Carolina Railroad. The rule is this: II per-
son from any cause fails to secure ticket he Is re.
CURED pay the next station, and ten cents extra
and the editor mentions Of his osn as an illus.
tralion of the operation. He was passage from
Charlotte to Concord but having failed 70 get ticket
at Charlotte. he required TO pay to Harrisburg sixty
cents, and to Concord thirty cents-makng ninety
cents from Charlotte TO concord whereas the regular
price from Charlotte 10 Concord is only seveniy-fye
cents; being fiitean cents extra for not securing
ticket at Charlotte. Another rule is, when passen-
ger is taken up the road, to charge from the last
siation-which the Wing illustrates thus: gentle.
man is taken up at Quey's Turnout, which is -four
price from Charlotte to Harrisburg thus i2i
cents per mile.
This latter rule seems % b. unjnsi because il
quail, O. man getting 10 between stations twenty
miles apart, would be required 70 pay for riding Tho
distance twice much getting ia beIweer
stations only ten miles apart.
We have heard complaint Of this last rule before
4 gentleman, with his wife aud two or three children
got upon the four miles below this place. going ID
Mebanesville, aud required to pay for the whOls
distance from Durhams station. He considered il an
imposition, and expressed determination, ss be had
to employ carriage for four i've miles at each END
any how tha, he would thereafter take his carriage thu
whole distance.
The managers Of the road may have very good rea
sons for adopting these rurs hut 10 their application
The public convenience should have some considers
