THE !. o 70 rAw.
The People Have Rebelled Against
Excessive Freight tariff.
THE HERALD readers have noticed
for several weeks past that this paper
has been agitating the freight rate
question aud has given good many
tigures going to show how unfairly
aud unlawfully Columbia was being
Disseminated against. In response
TO a call published in last Fridays
issue of that paper, a meeting of
prominent business men was held in
the City Hall last Friday night. Dr.
B. Holding was called to the Chair
and f. d. Lander made Secretary.
The Chairman stated the object of
the meeting to be to take Steps to
redress the wrongs inflicted upon the
town and every individual in it, by
asserting and enforcing their rights
under the Interstate Commerce Law.
Maj. b. A. Rogers, who has COM
munieqted to the HERALD several
strong articles upon the subject, was
called upon to address the meeting,
and did so He said the meeting was
called Tor the business men of Column
bia TO take steps TO emaucIpate them
selves from further being fieeced ty
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Con pany He cited several items on
which Columbia Was made to suffer,
and other gentlemen volunteered in
formation from their special lines
For instance, it was discovered tn t
the rale an flour from Louisville To
Columbia was 56 cents, but to pass
right by Columbia to Huntsville,
Ala, or Birmingham, or Mont
gomery, or even as far as Jackson
Vile, Fla, the rate was less, being
only As cents to the last-named point,
showing that the road would haul
freight hundreds of miles further
than to Columbia aud charge 10 cents
less on the hundred for doing it, The
rate on sugar from New Orleans to
car off at Columbia it is 81 cents,
haul than the long. The same of
rice, mOla 5=es and other like articles.
After the question had been fully,
but dispassiOnately discussed, on mo-
ton of T.. >. Fowler it was resolved
that the chair appoint committee,
the Char to be Chairman of that
committee, TO investigate the ques-
ton fully, collect all the facts and
make a written report to another
meeting, to be called by the Chair
man wherever the committee was
ready to report. The committee is
composed OF the following: r. Hold

roads, but it is war against railroad
freight robbery. 1t is lawful fight
for legal rights. There is no reason,
no justice, no business, no sense in
the people of this city and county
paying the freight rates they have
been paying. 1t is servile and cow
ardly to allow any man or any cor
poration to exact of you more than is
fair aud more than the Flaw allows.
We hope the committee VIII not tire

this work; it now. becomes their duty

In single day In the present year

grants who come to New York, more
than 400 persons who had come to live
in this country. Only once before had
80 large a number of immigrants arrived
at New York in one day.
OF all these people only sixty pos.
sessed as much as hundred dollars.
That amount would be a sufficiently
small one, 1t seems, upon which to start
out in new life in new country, but
those who had managed to save it might
well be welcomed as desirable imni-
grants.
A number not much larger possessed
ten dollars or more. Comparatively
speaking, this was a very respectable
capital, for the majority of the great
party had five dollars or less apiece.
The American who should land in a
foreign country, the language Of which
he did not speak, with less than five dol
lars in his pocket would regard himself
as in terrible predicament. If the Eu-
ropean who arrives in this country I'M
der such circumstances does not regard
himself as in predicament, but rather
in great good luck, it is on account of
the country, for his natural abilities and
acquired skill in getting living are not
usually greater than the average Ameri.
cans.
People in such a situation, in what.
ever country they may be, are very nat.
urally and properly an object of some
solicitous interest to the people of the
country in general, and the greater the
number of them the more solicitous that
interest would be likely to be.
When they came by thousands day
they could not wonder if people began
to ask what was presently to be done
with them, and whether some way could
not be found of inducing them to come
somewhat more gradually,
This IS, in nutshell, the "pauper i'm

The Faneier's Monthly has this to say
abont leghorns: ION the Atlantic coast,
in the middle states, south and west, and
on the Pacific coast, Leghorns, if not the
very foremost of all, are invariably
found close to the front. AT some eastern
shows they are, 1t is true, quite often well
down on the list, but If poultry census
could be taken, few families of fowls
would surpass in numbers the Leghorns.
They are in this respect the Smiths of
the feathered tribe. Black Leghorns are
again to the fore with full fiedged
Black Leghorn club to back them, and
the number Of breeders taking them
up is rapidly increasing. And they de.
serve popularity on more accounts than
one. AS egg layers nothing surpasses
them, All they usually lack is size,
and that skillfull breeding will increase.
