Ntsiths, tnilng that voI claim the
ue,graphical centre of the ORR pro-
jn.in section Of the safe six seasons
A. you seem 10 b. giving 1t, the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad and New
bern had not the arm business.
How wa il hr"uetit about that IN
Four out ot he Zen seasons. other ports
did not. AMI Newbern DID. have this
corn traff The answer Is easily ar
rive at Newbern needed the help 1t
received from the Wilmington and Vel
don and Richmond and Dlnvllle roads
Under the principle OF "proratIon,
A, vlven by Won. if the cor rate from
Newhern To Raleigh be nine cents per
hundred pounds, the rate T. Athens,
Georgia. which is six times a greater
distance. would be ftty-hve cents, while
the rate is but twenty four. The rate
L, Charlotte. under vour "pror. lon,
would be twenty Tour cents. VIII - the
actual rate il but twenty To Column
bia. :. c.. the rate would be twenty
seven cents, while the rate charged was
but fifteen. The rate TO Wilmington
would be eleven and sever tenths, while
the rate is but nine.
If the rate on cotton be, as 1t IS, one
| dollar and twenty five cents from Mn
ston to Goldsboro, to Wilmington II
would be about five dollars. aud TO Mt
fold eight dollars and seventy-hve cents,
while u New York II would be about
fifteen dollars per bale.
Your ''proratlon system may sound
yery we'll upon the hastings, but will
hardly ever be again tried IN practice.
Did you have the ''proration" system
in Your MUD when you proposed that
we can pleasantly and to our mutual in
%terest, 80 TO say, pool this G0hlsGOro)
business. 50 hat our little road may
have something to show on the credit
side from this important station !!
The statement that any one in the
State has not, when occasion demanded,
asked, freely and without restraint, for
reductions In rates Is SO wide of the
mark, not to say ridiculous, that it is
not likely to delude any other person
than yourself.
La regard to the undue publicity CIV
en- these matters, 1t would doubtless be
interesting for you to inform the public
precisely what information was convey
ell TO Gov. Jarvis. through yourself or
friends on this subject. and if not on
veyed for the purpose of publicity what
the purpos was. We do not seek pub
licity, nor do We shrink from it when
essential to truth hence W. give the
facts as shown by the record of events
