~ Mo1tsorarv fAlabama) Adver-

THr Montgomery (Alabama) Adver-
tiser relates a question Of novel and
peculiar interest in that State occurring
before the Railroad Commission, show
inc the uses and public benefit Of the
Commission. There is a station called
Whitney on the Alabama Great South
ern Railroad, which is the station for
AshvilIe. and distant from Ashville, the
county seat, about three miles. For
the last six or seven years Whitney has
been a regular station on the road. On
the 18th of last June the company
discontinued Whitney as a regular
station and made it flag station. The
cause of this change was that several
persons about Ashville brought num-
Der of suits against the company last
April and May for alleged overcharges
in freights for very small sums and
these suits we're of a vexatious and
harrassing nature to the company. To
punish the people of Ashville, the
change was made. On this state OF
facts, the company, on the 18th of last
June, discontinued Whitney as regular
station, for the purpose of protecting
itself against vexatious suits OF this
dascrintion one of the differences be-
tween regular station and a flag sta
ton being that all freight to a flag
station must be prepaid, while freight
to regular station is not prepaid. A
petition was filed by number Of bust
ness men of Ashville before the Rail
road Commission to have Whitney
made regular station. This petition
was heard before the Commission, and
q number of witnesses examined. Upon
the hearing before the Commission the
proof showed that at flag station the
freight was put out on the platform and
was not stored and taken care of by the
agent until called for by the person tt
whom it was shipped, but that at
regular station it was stored in the
depot by the station agent and taker
care of until it was called for by the
person to whom it was shipped. Ais
| that at regular station there was al
WAYS ticket Office to sell tickets t.
passengers, while at flag station there
was no such ticket office. The proo
further showed that the freight receipts
of the company at Whitney S alton,
amounted to between four and fv'
thousand dollars, and that the receipts
amounted annually to about two thous
and dollars from passenger fares.
The Commission decided that Whit
ney ought to be regular station anC
that the public accommodation and
business for transportation facilitie
and travel made it proper and just tina
it should be regular station, and mott
fled the company accordingly.

IL 1870 there were only 1864 free
schools in the State of Mississippi. In
1880, there were 1924, besides $50 pri-

nearly one million dollars and she

clares that he has ''heard Of no tax
payer who does not pay his school tax
cheerfully. The school question is a
great and vital one with our colored
friends, and in the hands of the Demo

interest is safe.

in reference to Kinds county tax, Safe

was intended to read $15. But in point

based on IA mill tax, which made the

OUR piney woods counties have in
abundance commodity which will soon
be more in demand than cotton or any
other production. 1t is their wealth
of valuable timber, an article which is
becoming so scarce as to create serious
apprehensions Of the entire failure of
the supply within short time. There
are only four STATES Of tie twenty-six
that comprise the New England, Mid
die, Western and Northwestern States
to the Rocky Mountains, that have a
surplus of timber-MaiDe, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota-an of these
four only the latter three have a sur
plus of white pine. Minnesota is al
ready pretty nearly despoiled of her
once vast pine forests; in fact, she has
only some 100000 feet more to spare,
at least so the Northwestern Lumber
man estimates. Wisconsin is said to
have still $4,000, 900, 900 feet, and
Michigan 30,000,000,000 The pine
forests of the Sierra Nevada will be left
for the constantly increasing demand,
but their exhaustion is only question
of time. The New Orleans and Merid-
ian road which is soon to be put under
contract, will bring into market i'm.
mense quantities of pine timber in the
Southern counties, hitherto inaccessible.
ONE of the candidates at the Fusion
Nominating Convention, said he was
happy over the union between the
Republicans and Greenbackers- he
had called the latter hard names, but
wouldn't do so any more, as they had
s'pooled their issues" and must be very
harmonious if they expected to whip
the Democracy. We agree with him.
The pooling business won't succe3d, and
it is more than likely the harmonious
candidate will have to fall back on his
old business of calling hard names.
