Newborn. y. c., Jan. 27.-(Special.)-
Hancock's letter to the Governor is be
ing discussed in every public place ert
tonight. and is considered II very veal
attempt to vindicatc himself Of the aW
full charges.
The quotations from the New York
letters are especially weak, and the
people here fail to see to what extent
they hep his case in the attempt t
give his whereabouts while III New
York city. He states he was at the
Astor House, and he had to register
for meals and was assigned to rOoms.
Hancock can't throw it off on Il person
al enemy of his. The man he referred
to was sent for by Miss Abbott's moth
er rs he was q true friend to her family
and the only male adviser she could
retreat to in Such time Of rouble The
fact is the town was wild with the in
%dignation before the gentleman he claims
to have once publicly chastised even
reached the city. There is no wire
connection where he resides and it would
take a letter three or four days to
reach him as he is on the coast.
Hancock has been Il long time prepar-
ing his letter, and getting the New
York letters for the Governors consid
Grafton, and his desire to state most
solemnly he is innocent of the charges
don't alter the belief that he is guilty
of charges in the minds of decent
people of this community.

COTTON RATES RESTORED

"Resolyed, That circular No. 20, dated
September u, 1897, touching the arb
trary cotton rate be and the same is
hereby repealed. The rates in effect prior
to tie SAID circular 40. ~ are rem

] Yesterday the new Railroad Commits

hat.
The matter came up on exceptions flea
by the Southern 10 the present rate on
its Western North Carolina Railroad
division. and ended by Il repeal of the
new rate and a restoration of the old
rates on all the roads of the State.
The exceptions were argued by Second
Nice-President Finley, who explained
that prior to August 1, 1889, the Rich
mond and Danville used what is known
as sixth class rate IN cotton. On the
above date 4 new cotton tariff was made
to apply over the whole system except
the Western North Carolina Railroad.
that not being considered a cotton
carrying road. Again on December 9th,
1891, another rate was made and this
was to apply to the Western North Car
DINA, but the Railroad Commission com
PEELED its withdrawal. Last fall the
Commission promulgated another rate.
which was TO be uniform on all the roads
of the State. Recently, however, the
Commission has repealed this schedule
so far as It applies to the Western North
Carolina Railroad, and put back in force
the old rate, which is some 80 per cent
lower than the uniform schedule.
The amount of revenue. he said, in
volved very little, probably within Il
thousand dollars, but the principle was
i very important one and might in the
end cost the Southern very much. There
was. he thought. no general demand
along the road for Il reduction. AS tO
the cotton mills they had long been ia
vored and helped by Il very low rate
and he now thought they were in Il posi-
ton to bear the uniform rate. To give
them a lower rate than other mills of the
State would make that Il favored section
and would not be treating other sections
and mills in the State right. This is
the great principle involved in this
matter.
Except on this road the uniform rates,
he said, were practically the same az
the old rates.
Commissioner Pearson said he had
never believed in arbitrary rates on any
thing, therefore he was in favor of
Wlplng out the new rate and allowing
the railroads of the State to return tC
their old rates, and to this end intro

To the Editor: Your correspondent re-

says: The fact is the town vas wild
with Indignation before the gentleman he
claims to have once publicly chastiscd

absolutely untrue. It IS generally known
here that his fellow was r~eciting the

statement to the attorneys. The special

Governor has poor data before him to

Dick Williams, the bitterest enemy |

informed that this man Williams aided
and assisted the man referred to in my

are seeking by falsehood to compass my
