THE j. T. AS MISTAKE
DIFFERENTIAL TO LAKE-AND-RAIL
LINES MAKING TROUBLE.
Large Demand for Cars to Move the
Grain and Tobacco Crops-Where
Long Runs Are ImpracticabIe.

The differential given the rail and lake
lines by the Joint Traffic Association is
working disastrously to all the rail lines,
the Observation-Disclosures taking the traffic
while all-rail lines, even by making con-
cessions, are unable to get moderate per
cent. of the business. 1t is stated that
never before in the traffic history of Chi
cago were grain shipments by the lakes
at this season of the year as heavy. 1t is
stated that the all-ran men feel like
throwing up their hands in dispair. They
declare that differentials in favor of the
lake lines viii have to be abolished. They
are now able to do more than compete
with the all-rail lines on equal terms. Fast
steamers have reduced the run from Chi
cago to Buffalo to sixty hours. The ex
pense of transportation by the water route
is much less than by land The only dis
advantage with which the lake lines have
to contend is the reshipment necessary at
Buffalo. A few years ago the all-rail lines
felt sure of the oat shipment at any rate.
1t was believed they could not stand trans
portation by lake. or at least that the ex-
ira risk more than offset any advantage
there might be in the lower rate. Last
Saturday 10000 bushels of oats went to
Buffalo by the lake route, and the aIl-rail
INES are now Selllng as niue OF the cat
traffic as they are of any other description
of grain. Small packages turn out in bet
ter form at Buffalo from the lake steamers
than they do from railroad cars. With
differentials in their favor of from 212 cents
per 100 pounds up, the lake lines are able
to carry everything before them. The all
rail line representatives now declare these
dfterentials must be abolished and means
adopted of compelling the lake lines to OBJ
serve tariffs before there can be anything
like stability of rates

Letters From The People.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Now while our peo-
pie are congratulating themselves on
the strong ticket made at Roanoke,
with the full assurance that the gem
tlemen selected, are among the best
of the State and will reflect honor
upon the Offices they will be called
upon to assume next winter, let them
not forget that another important
obligation rests upon them, in the
selection of candidates for the Senate
and House of Delegates. 1t is to be
hoped, that our people, our leading
citizens Chat are looked up to by
their humble, honest, honorable, but
quiet nelghbors) will arouse them
selves and see to it, that none but
true. tried and trustful men, are
placed in these responsible positions,
men that will command respect in
our Legislative halls, and with past
record that will give every assurance
pOSSlOll StlA Nt@Jo ~
found ut their post, ready with their
tried armor on, awaiting any attack
that may be made upon their section
of this grand old Commonwealth, for
already there are strong indications
that questions will arise in our next
Legislative session, that will appall
the stoutest hearts. Let us then, as
good citizens, do our duty in this
matter, and not have to regret our
lack of interest, when too late, to
remedy the matter.
1t is an acknowledged fact, that we
have such men in our midst, let us
select, nominate and support them,
and then when the conflicts arise and
the battle wakes hot, we will have
the satisfaction Of knowing that the
interests of our dear old Eastern
Shore are in safe hands.

MR.. EDIToR:- Now that the canvass
for Sc nator and delegate to represent
US in the next General Assembly is
over, 1t may not be amiss to call the
attention of the voters to some things
going on in our midst, by means OF
which the agricultural portion of the
community are daily sufferers. | al
Jude to the large number of men and
boys at the different stations along
the railroad in this county. known
as "drunners, WHO are plying their
occupation at the expense of IT, e
farmers, in the form Of commissions
on shipments of potatoes. and this
has gone on 50 extensively, and to
the continued detriinent Of the farm
er, that the"drummersn now virtually
rule tie III lrket, and t.l- l.triner has
to take fer his produce whatever
they are pleased to give him; for they
seem to have snch well regulated
organization thai i; he REFUSES their
offer a,.l ships TO the cities himself,
he rarely ever receives more than
their offer,if indeed he gets as much.
Nor is this all-if d dealer from any
of the cities stops at one of the sta
tions to buy potatoes, the 'drummers'
give him immediate attention, eau
Gus is held TO which he is invited
and the next day. without having
made any purchases he is gone, and
the "drummersn again have full con
tlol of the field.
Isn't it time that these gentlemen
were looked after, and steps taken
by which the farmers can be given
some relief from this expense and
annoyance to which they are daily
subjected?
Almost every branch of business
in our State is now subjected to a IL
cense tax, and if our representatives
in the next legislature would look for
subjects of taxation and to the I'M err
ests of their constituents, here is an
opportunity to serve the agricultural
voters. Let them have a law enact
ed requiring each drummer to pro
cure license for the privilege OF per-
suing his vocation, for which lie
should pay at least one hundred dol
lars, with a pen atty attached to its
violation.
Do this, and the farmers will to some
extent be relieved of q source of an
noyance for which he has to pay; and
the State receive the revenue to which
she is justly entitled.

Hettcr from Senator E,C.,to.

MIR. EDIToR.-In making canvass
of the county, l have been surprised
to learn that my opponent has pub
licly charged.
lst. That 1 would not meet him in
Joint discussion; though he has writ
ten nc two letters, and sent he per-
scnal challenge, l deny that ever
received any letter from Mr.. Rev, or
any intimation, whatever, that he
desired to meet me on the stump.
Cd. That | had introduced the bill
known as the Ellinger bill, providing
for the survey of the shore lines OF
Fox Island This is untrue, as will
be seen by reference to tho Senate
Journal, 1898 "a The bill was intro
duced by Col. Washington, of West
moreland. / have never known, to
this day, vino proposed it, and never
saw it until it came before the COM
mittee.
Sd. That was in Richmond when
the appointment was made for school
superintendent This is equally false,
as everybody III my neighborhood
knows | have not been in Rich
mond since last May, when passed
through the city on my way home
from Ohio. | have u certificate from
the Board of Education, certi-
flying that no word, oral or writ
ten, ever reached that Office from me
in regard to the appointment of
school superintendent.
4th The charge that l took the
epileptic committee on a junket
trip, stopping them at the Rennert
House in Baltimore, at the expense
of the State, is equally false. The
Rennert House was only designa ted
as rendezvous for the committee. [
did not register there, my bill at
that place being only fifty cent
lunch.
l feel constrained to make these
contradictions not only in justice to
myself, but in justice to the fair
minded people of Accomac, whose
credulity is being imposed upon by
my opponent N.Y. official record is
before the people. l only ask them
to Judge me bya intelligent inves-
tigation of my acts, assured that |
shall meet their hearty approval.
pectfully,
