Mr.. j. Ernest Erwin, member of the
House of Representatives from Burke,
| IS in the city. Mr.. Erwin belongs to
the well known and successful family OF
brothers who have become leaders in cot
ton mill manufacturing in North Carolina,
and he is the active manager OF the cot
ton mill at Morganton. Mr.. Erwin is
| the author of the most important bill
affecting shippers and manufacturers en-
acted by the Legislature. 1t was com
monty known as the What is S1uce for
tire Goose is Sauce for the Gandcr" bill.
Prior to that time if a man did not re-
move his freight from tho depot the day
after it YVES received by the railroad
h. had to pay demuriage, but if the rail
road delayed to deliver the goods to the
person desiring them, there was no re
dless and no penalty. Mr. Erwin's bill
required the railroad to deliver goods ana
furnish cars promptly or pay penalty
sometimes business men, desiring cars
could not get them to4@ weeks. and yet
if they kept a car over Il day they had
to pay for it, Mr. Erwin's bill sought
to remedy that.
"A gentleman in Greensboro yesterday
told me-" said Mr.. Erwin, that my bill
had been OF great benefit to the whole
sale men of that. city, and that now
there are seventy-fve indictments, against
the Southern Railway in Guilford for
failure to comply with the law
Nc young man has been in the Leglsla-
tUre in a decade who has done more in
che session than Mr.. Erwin. Honest,
courageous Just and knowing the legis-
lation needed to correct abuses. he was
ever ready to propose and fight for them.
He was just to railroads, just TO all cor
porations. just to all classes, but he de
manded that public service corporations
should treat the business world fairly.
1t would be blessing to North Carolina
if every General Assembly was composed
of men of the spirit of fairness and good
sense that characterized Mr.. Erwin. More
practical business men of his character
are needed in the Legislature. Let's have
them this year.
