OVER A THOUSAND MILES
A Week is the Distance Captain Peabody
Travels


Captain w. w Peabody Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager of the B. 4
o. S. w, travelled last year, in his pri-
vate car, the Ohio. just 54,419 miles.
The record was kept by c. A. Tonay,
who has been in the Captains private
office for eleven years, and who ac-
companies him on his travels. He
keeps a daily record of the cars move
ments, and can show at just what point
on the road the Captain was at any
time during the past ten years while
out on his car. In 1889 the car, with
the Captain, Travelled $3.50 miles; in
1890. 1890 miles; in 1891, 1862 miles;
in 1894. 6O,311 miles, and in 1895. 5000
miles. This record is hardly equalled
by any railroad man in the West. and
is equal to going twice around the
world every year, and half way back
again.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.

Ex-Judge Avery says it was e.tab-
llshed at tie hearing at Atlanta last
week that the Central Railroad Of
Georgia was twice leased, and on bet
ter terms than the North Carolina
Railroad; that bids were advertised
for, and that there were two bidders.
Ex-Gov. Gordon testified that he was
Governor Of Georgia at that time and
that he refused to lease without giving
every body q chance to bid. This con-
duct is in strong contrast to that Of ex-
Gov. Carr and that, too, by man (Gor-
don) who was probably more friendly
to the railroads than any other Cover
nor Georgia has ever had. The Gen.
trail Railroad of Georgia is not as good
property as the North Carolina Rail
road, yet Gov. Gordon rented it for
81, 230 mile, while Gov. Carr leased
the North Carolina Railroad for q
whole century for the ridi cul ously low
sum of 81 ,225 mile. This shows fraud
on its face-and yet there are those
who prate about the honesty and ecoI
| omy of q Democratic administration.

VERBAL FREE PASSES.

The law ought to be supreme 1t is as
to poor people. But how about admin
isterinR it upon rich folks and big cor
porations? For years these have openly
defed the law, forbidding freight and
passengers to be hauled cheaper for
one man than another. Many of the
SOLICITOR, it is said, ride on free passes
themselves. IL Is even said that some
Of the judges have been touched" and
one judge is known to have gotten a
railroad president to Instruct his con-
ductors verbally to pass him free, with
out having an actual printed pass.
There are other people ashamed to
be seen with passes to whom the rail-
roads Issue mileage books without pay
ing for them. This evasion is no good.
These men are more guilty morally and
legally than those who openly carry
passes, and thus defiantly compel their
poorer neighbors to pay for the free
riding of pass toters." When Judge
Simonton, the injunction man," came
to Raleigh last January to hold Court
he not only came on free pass, but in
a railroad officials palace car. This
was against both State and Federal
law, but with him, like Vanderbilt

Railroad Commissioners who now rid,

other folks, they will find 3tic. a littl

made to get bill passed containing

R. r COMMISSIONERS. FREE PAssEs

II. COMMISSIONERS FREE PAe0G0
Investigation will show that nearly
every Railroad Commissioners since
1891 has been riding on free passes.
No wonder that they could never see
that rates were too high when they
were riding SO cheaply themselves.
Not only this but freight has been
hauled for some of them free, or at
rates lower than other people; the Ex-
press company as we'll a. the rail-
roads have extended to them that
courtesy" and even pullman" has
allowed more than one of the Com
missioners to sleep free in his births
The Who'll record Of the Commission
ers needs overhauling. Maj. Wilson
the chairman, has always ridden on q
free pass in the fact Of both inter- State
and State law. He rides once q year
possibly, on States business and bal.
ance of the time to bis home in Nor.
Canton or to his factory at Weldon, or
his own business. His excuse that hs
saves money to the State by takins
free passes is too thin. He protects
his own private treasury hfty times
where he saves the State once.
When the bill to amend the Rail.
road Commission act Was up last wiz
ter the Railroad Commission inse .e(
. clause to permit the Railroad Com.
missioners to ride on free passes. Th'
Legislature had the decency to strik'
it out, although some Of the Railroad
Commissioners lobbied for it. This him
ought to have been taken to hesfs b,
the Commissioners, but it was not. A
Major Wilson has boastingly stated
they CONTINUED to do business in tn
same old way"-which being inter
preted means free riding for the mel
who can FIX rates and SIC. per mil
for those who cannot reduce rates.
