PASSENGERS GRUMBLE ABOUT
AN EXPRESS COMPANY'S
CHARGES ON THEIR GOODS.

NiiAlNNEo ON tlDliA OOODos
The commuters on the Wilmington
and Northern railroad are very much
incensed at what they claim Is a usur-
patton of privilege on the part OF the
express company which controls the
express business on that road.
One man, who lives at Greenvilie. IS
almost a daily passenger on the VIII
mington and Northern railroad. lie
carries no baggage and for that reason
he claimed some concession at the
hands of the railroad company.
About a week ago he purchased two
baskets of sweet potatoes In Wilming-
ton and sent them to Greenville, sup
posing they would go in the baggage
car They did, but the express CONF
pany, according to his story, claimed
that they were express matter and re-
fused to deliver them unless forty
cents was paid. And this amount had
to bo given.
An employe of the Wilmington and
Northern Company told an Evening
Journal reporter this morning that as
he understood the matter the express
company had q monopoly of the ex-
press traffic OF the line. When bag
gage or small bundles or packages
were unaccompanied bs the order the
express company reserved the right TO
class them as express matter and they
must be paid for accordingly. IF, how
ever, the owner accompanies the goods

ditions of two or three words. He
stated that he would offer an amend
ment to section 2, page 3S1, OF the city
