BEL ALTON, Md.
March 10th, 1897,

Editor Of The Independent.
DEAR SIR In recent issue OF the Port
Tobacco Times, | noticed An article from some
one subscribing himself IA Patron" and en-
tering into diatribe against the Railroad
clerk at Lothair.
He says it is not an infrequent occurance
for parties living at distance to return with
an empty cart &c. Allow me to give you an
example of WHY some of them do this.
A certain Richard Cough sent his team to
the station for some freight which be thought
should be there, upon asking for it he was
informed that it had not arrived and drove
off protesting that he knew it was there
About two hours after the wagon left, the
freight came on the midday train.
The next day Mr.. Cough himself vent to
the station and demanded to know why bis
freight had not been delivered He was in
formed that the freight vas not there when
his team called, but that it had arrived after
the team had left, whereupon Mr.. Cough
evidently one of these patrons who dislike to
create disturbance see the aticle in the
Times) like Vesuvius in an eruption, broke
forth in such a TRADE of a abuse and explosives
as would have caused the ghost of Captain
Kidd to blush
He finally ended by SAYING he would re-
port it and see il the Company would not put
some one there who would attend to his busi-
ness. Now because the Company investigai-
ed this complaint and found out that the
clerk was not to blame, they, (the patrons,
must go to the Times and in weak and
whining voice ask the editor If they had re-
ported 1t to the proper authority.
| will add tor the information of "a
Patron" that, as they have already reported
the clerk to the General Superintendent, Di-
vision Superintendent, Division Freight
Agent, and Assistant Train Master, there yet
remains the President and the board of direc-
tors to whom they may appeal, failing in this
they might go to the proper authority" and
the person having the station and clerk in
charge namely the agent at Cox Station and
who under ordinary circumstances should have
received the complaint. if there was any.
