The communication published else

The communication published else
where in regard to the reduction OF
freight rates speaks for itself, and
is welcome news to our people III
these hard times and in the uncer-
tainty existing among them of their
ability to make buckle and tongue
meet. The reduction means thous-
ands of dollars to us and in the end,
not very remote we believe, will be
beneficial to the railroad companies
carrying our potatoes to market, in
stimulating the production OF them,
cutting off competition in transporta-
tion and causing thousands Of barrels
to be shipped, when prices are low,
which otherwise would be left to rot
in our fields. The rates now will be
accepted as reasonable and gives en-
couragement to our farmers which
will infuse new life into them. We
tender thanks, in behalf of our peo-
pie to the committee presenting our
claims for reduction and to the rail-
road authorities, who recognizing the
necessity for the same, listened and
acceded to our demands.

a communication sent to us last
week for publication, signed Com
mittee,n subjected us to the criticism
of few in the lower part OF the
county because of our failure TO
publish same. 1t did not appear i'll
our columns last week, because as
stated heretofore, the names OF no
farmers or any one else were appended
to the article who would be RESPONSE
bic for the publication. 1t does
not appear this week, because
the names though promised, have not
been forwarded. The communities
ton being OF very denunciatory
character, names of parties response
BILE for it, or proof of the charges
were necessary to enable us to sus-
tain the charges, in the event we
were called upon to do it, and neither
has been furnished us. That the
farmers who sent us the letter for
publication have just cause for COM
plant against certain commission
merchants, we DO not question
but they cannot expect us to take up
the fight for them when they will not
back us and have not furnished us
the proof in their possession to Justify
us in doing so.
