A X. X. COMMISSION.
A Voice From AsheviIie Protesting
Against it's Passage.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNICLE.l

Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNICLRl
AsHEvlLLE,N n. @ Jan. 31.-I notice from
an interview bad with Capt, Sid
Alexander, by the Charlotte News, it
appears that Asheville is leading in the
Railroad Commission business. If the
idea has gone forth that any respectable
or country favor Railroad Commission,
| desire to correct such notion. Our
largest shippers here, who have thorough
ly investigated TIE matter OF frelghts,
aud IN fact our railroad facilities in every
way, have repeatedly asserted that there
is no cause whatever for complaint
against our roads; especially is there
no remedy that can be secured by a
State Railroad Commission. Almost
everything that is shipped to and from
here in Western North Carolina comes
and goes without the State. So any
grievances that we might have could not
come before State Railroad Commis,
sion, but must go before the United
States Inter. State Board for adjustment.
This being the case, we believe there is
no need for Commission now. 1t Is
very certain such an act will not IN any
wise aid Us in getting northern or for
eign capital to build our new railroads,
a number of which are already project
ed through our mountain county. The
money is not here to build them. II
must come from somewhere else. Wi
it not more likely come without com
mission than with one Strangers dc
not like any more bosses over their at
fairs than we do. They are willing TX
abide by the laws of the state and tn
terms Of their charters, but any sur
plussage in the way of paternalism is no
any more acceptable to them than to ou
own people.

Sixteen Darkies KILLED in Il Row.
(By United Press.)

BIRMINGHAM, Ala,, Feb. 2.-The riots
at Carbon Hill are still in progress, and
two companies Of State troops have been
ordered to the scene by Governor Jones.
There was more b!oodshed ye ,terday,
bnt it is impossible to learn It's extent.
Not less than eight or ten negroes have
been killed and possibly more.
Trainmen who reached town yester-
day report that seven negroes were killed
in the cabin Friday night instead of
four. as first reported, and that nine
more we're killed on Saturday night. All
the trouble there seems to have grown
out of the determination OF the white
miners TO drive away the colored
miners. The negroes, SO far as can be
learned, have made no resistance, ana
no white men ere reported killed or IL
jured.
Eight hundred to one thousand miners
are employed at the Carbon Hill mines
and only 125 Of them are negroes
Nearly all reports agree that the ne
groes have been shot down without
provocation.

To Regulate the Charges for the Sale OF
f.raf Tobacco.
speoia Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Long, Of
Warren. to regulate the charges OF leaf
tobacco Warehouses IL North Carolina s
one Of the most important bills low
pending before the General Assembly,
and, if passed, will give more general
satisfaction than any other law that
could be passed.
From the best information | can get
there is considerably over $4,000, 600
pounds Of tobacco raised in this State,
and fer the sale of this tobacco tb va
rious warehousemen charge from four TO
twenty per cent. "a to 20 per cent? com
mission for selling It, 1t is about equiv
alent to the tithe we had to pay during
the war, and the farmers have been pay
ing it for years. About one crop IN
three is good one, and the commoner
the crop the higher the charges.
1t takes from twelve to eighteen
months TO raise and market a crop Of
t bacco, and to have to pay from 8 to 10
per cent, on an average, for selling it
seems to NE to be great hardship.
There are few Alliance warehouses
in the State that are selling tobacco from
40 to 80 per cent less, and are making
fair living profit on the capital stock
invested, but the relief they can give is
limited to very few. Ii the warehouse
men would not antagonize the passage
of this bill and would arise to the emer-
gency and help the farmers to down"
the combinations that are gradually
forming around the tobacco business,
they would endear themselves to the
people, and, ia my opinion, it would ul
timately be their financial benefit.
Respectfully,
