EJp/ess Charyes We stated last
week that the Southern Express Com.
pany had charged a gentleman of this
place the enormous aud outrageous sum
of ST 30 on barrel of shell oysters
from Norfolk, The Agent informs US
that the SOathern Express only runs to
Lyuchburg, and that local Express is
ia opcroIion between Iynchburg and
Norfolk, and that the Southern Express
Company are only responsible for the
charges between Bristol and Lynch
burg. Again that the Southcrn Ex.
press Company pay TO tho Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad Company one
dollar on every bundled pounds of
freight transported over the road, and
that their profit was only $3.50 1t is
easily seen that This charge is made TO
force heavy packages over the freight
lines aud perhaps very properly, but
we still hold that the charge was eDor-
nous, though tho Southern Express
may mt be wholly responsible for it.
If the local Express will extend its
operations to this point il will have
the effect Of reducing the rates as "a al
ways the case when there is COMPETE
ton.
To charge $685. IN 200 pounds of
she'll oysters is simply to prohibit their
transportation, and consequently their
use by persons in this locality.
