Justice for the Railroads and Moth
ing More.
Progressive Farmer.)

The railroads have SO long sowed to
the wind, have SO often plundered
States or corrupted governments,
that they get scant sympathy from
most of US in the sudden and wide
spread retribution that now threat
ems them. But still we must recog-
nize that railroad, whatever the sins
Of some railroad builders, is perhaps
the foremost material agency of civ
ilization, and that the South needs
many a new line to develop resources
that must otherwise lie idle. There
s the old straight and narrow path
Of exact justice that we are called to
tread-and the South needs leaders
who will walk in it. To Us this at
Least seems clear:
1. That we should not lay the
same burdens on the strong and the
weak, the struggling new road and
the old and prosperous. Let us en-
courage the weaker lines by proper
concessions.
2. That the railways greatest sin
has been not in high rates, but in
discriminating rates-rates which
built one city and wasted another,
enriched one man and bankrupted
another. Consider, for example, just
three facts mentioned by MIR. H. c..
Brown in his address to the mer-
chants at Greensboro:
For instance. the distance from
Cincinnati to Lynchburg via the c..
& O. is 474 miles, and to Greensboro
is 472 miles, and yet the freight on
many articles is twice as much to
Greensboro as it is to Lynchburg. A
carload of grain from Cincinnati via
Greensboro to Lynchburg is $24, but
if the car stops at Greensboro it
is $50. A carload of molasses from
New Orleans to Lynchburg is $50,
but if the car stops at Greensboro
the freight is S104.
Here then is the task for us-O
to stop determinations, and (2) to
hold the powerful roads in check
without discouraging the struggling
ones. And it is a big task.

A DEEP-LAID SCHEME.

In this city We have a corps Of teach
ers who are in every way qualified 10
do the work assigned them They have
spared neither time nor money in pre-
pairing themselves for their work; many
OF them have always been rated as ex-
cellent Last year after the rating was
sent III It was sent back to the super
visors to be lowered, and many of the
"E' teachers and e" teachers had their
rating lowered, not because their worl,
was inferior, but because someone who
had never seen them requested it.
This year they are told TO qualify in
German and Latin. Many of them are
ready to do so, but the above-named
floods prevented them from having one
moment that they can call their own AT
the end of the year, if this is not done,
who will be to blame?

appointed an assistant attorney in the Of

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS - OVER
WORKED TEACHERS.

Before the teachers meeting Monday
afternoon DR.. w. Z Chancellor in
formed the teachers that they need noa
attend so many meetings if they did
not desire to do So
The Bee is of the opinion that so
many meetings are unnecessary at any
rate If the Superintendent has reliev-
ed the teachers OF these meetings ne
should not call them, as a matter of
fact. They will undoubtedly attend if
he continues to call them.
Latin and German in the Seventh and
eighth grades should be abolished.
The latest charge against the teachers
was made to the school authorities. The
charge is without the slightest founda-
ton, and the scoundrel who made il
will not dare to put it in writing and
sign his name to it.
