manipulation, the standard oil people have grown from practi- cal insignificanc in 1870to prac- tical domination of all the impor- tant business of the country to- day.
 When the News man says he does not see how the matter concerns him, he does not seem to grasp the idea that this is altogether a different class of property from a store or a farm. A railroad is a public road. all public roads be- long to the people and the rights of the people are the same upon them. All @ railroad company ever had or can have over their roads is the betterments placed on them and the exclusive right to serve the people on them. As com mon carriers they have a right to reasonable pay for such sevices and no more.
 The expenditures necessary to prepare the roads for service are a legitimate element of charge, but exactions beyond this are a just cause for complaint and con cern to every thoughtful citizen. Who foot all bills but the useful working classes? It may be an easy thing to place a burden, but is a serious thing to go into the cotton field and other places of employment and produce the means to carry the load.
 The railroads of Woodruff co. are now capitalized at 3 times; their legitimate cost or more. that is 3 dollars have already been borrowed on our credit while only one is being employed in our service. Is it no concern then to the workers, when this burden is being increased?
 The question with these great common carriers is not what the service can be done for, but what can we make out of the opportu- nity and services.
 If the News man will reflect a little over the rights of citizen, he will see I think fit subject fol concern to every lover of liber ty. Wm. PenroSe
