THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The people of the State, of all
interests, and the railroad man
ayers, have equal cause for con-
graduation on the choice by the
legislative caucus of railroad
commissioners.
Mr.. Mason, of Northampt on, is
a practical, scholarly man of af
fairs, of high integrity ofcharac-
ter, a good lawyer, a farmer and
business man of successful ex-
perience. He carries with him
the confidence of all who know
him, and readily impresses him
self upon all strangers who meet
him.
Mr.. Beddingfield, of Wake,is the
Secretary of the N. C. Farmers AL
lance, and is a young man of ire
proachable charactar, with well
formed habits of industry, good
capacity for business, and has
had the practical experience of
hard work in lifting himself up
in the world. He possesses the
fullest confidence of the Alliance
people of the State, and of all
who know him.
Major Wilson, of Burke, is a
man of mature years, and of wide
experience. He is thoroughly
acquainted with every detail of
railroad location, construction,
and management. He
began as a rodman on the West
ern North Carolina Railroad at
the commencement of that great
work, thirty five years ago, and
went up through all the grada-
tons to chief engineer and presi-
dent of the road. He was con-
nected with the great engineering
feat of locating the road across
the mountain, and was the en-
gineer who constructed that diff
cult work, completing it from
Old Fort, in Mcdowell, to Paint
Rock, on the Tennessee line, and
located and partly built the Duck
town branch, from Asheville to
Murphy. He was also chief
engineer of railroad construction
IN Tennessee, and not long ago
was called to Canada for CONSUL
5ation as an expert on the great
Canadian Pacific Railway.
Allinterests are fortunatei in hav-
ng the services of a man of the
practical knowledge, high per-
'onal and official character and
of detail, in railroad af-
airs, of James w. Wilson, on the
'ailrOad commission. A wiser
selection could not have been
made in the State.
We are entirely satisfied with
he constitution of the com
mission, and have not the |
lightest apprehension OF the
allure of the objects of tie
aw, or damage whatever to any
interest affected by it, with such
nen as these in charge of the
work of the railroad commits
ion.

readily assented to the order. Not
only SO, but they agreed to form
a stock company and work the fe-
male convicts all in one camp.
