WHEN THE SHOE is ON THE
OTHER FOOT

A recent edition of the Railway
World contains an elaborate recital
of the wrongs perpetrated against the
railroads by shippers making false
statements of weights and pursuing a
system of false billing. DR.. Edward
Sherwood Meade, in the same publ
cation, says that there is a statute
against false billing. and that the in
terstate commission can, through le-
sal procedure, impose fine not eX-
ceeding $4,000 or Imprisonment in the
penitentiary not exceeding two years,
or both fine and Imprisonment,
against any shipper, agent or en-
ploye, who attempts TO obtain trans
portation for such property at less
than the regular rates established by
the carriers.
DR.. Meade makes the statement
that the provisions OF this statute are
violated every day in every leading
traffic center OF the United States,
and that the separate offenses run
into the millions of dollars every
year.
A conservative estimate, he claims,
would fix the amount Of the loss to
the railroads at $40,000.000 annually
by the system of fraudulent weights
and false billing.
He claims that the railroad com
panies, while finding no fault with
the interstate railway commission for
it's activity in compelling the railway
companies to comply with the law in
the interest of shippers, that as a
matter of simple justice the commits
sion should show the same amount OF
zeal in enforcing the compliance of
the provisions of the statute against
shippers in favor of the carriers.
What is sauce for the goose ought
to be sauce for the gander, and if the

strict accounting it should, in simple
fairness, hold the shippers also to a
strict accounting.
If what Mr. Meade and the Railway
World say about the methods employ
ed by shippers be true, and indict-
ments were found against them for
these false and fraudulent practices,
would the average petit juries of the
country be as quick to render YER
dict against the shipper in favor of
the railroad company as they usually
are to find verdict against the Of
Tending railway company in favor of
the shipper?
Does it mean a difference when the
other OK is gored, or when the shoe
is on the other foot?

Notes

Since our first letter we have seen
more of Waynesville, and find it a
more pretentious city than We had at
first supposed 1t has quite number
of beautiful homes. The lawns are
well kept and the view from what
ever point one looks is inspiring.
Lofty peaks confront one in all direc-
tons. The grass and the crops grow
rank and flowers are rich in color
ing and magnificent in size.
Instead of one bank, Waynesyille
has two; it has also two newspapers
instead of one; two moving picture
shows; a number of fine drug stores;
four livery stables, and the horses
look fine, and the turnouts are good
enough.
Except to play cards, the next and
almost only other thing to do is to
indulge in horseback riding, and this
is done so persistently that some of
the young ladies have become as ex-
pert in the saddle as the reckless rid
ers we often see in the moving pic
ture shows.
Mr. Sidney Nelson of Clearwater,
brother Of Mr. Goree Nelson of Bush
nell and Mr. E. K Nelson of Tampa,
has a fine summer home here. He
had a garden planted in April and he
says that it furnishes him more veg
etables than he can possibly consume.
He has a wife and eight children, and
he finds that the climate is a tonic
for them The children are now
feasting on apples and peaches, and
are as fat as pigs.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Waynesville, n. c., Aug. 9, 1912
To the Ocala Banner:

To the Ocala Banner:
Is it true that the inhabitants OF
these sublime mountain heights thirst
for a freer and more enlarged liberty
than their brothers who inhabit the
plains below? Do they, like the
mountain eagle. fret and chafe if the
least attempt be made 20 circum-
scribe their limitations!
That, we believe, is the contention.
Our North Carolina friends make
the boast that it was the hardy pio-
neers Of the mountain regions OF the
old North State" who first threw off
the yoke OF British domination and
promulgated a Declaration of hide
pendence" many months in advance
Of the one adopted at Philadelphia,
after a long debate, and which made
the memory of its author immortal
This is not only the boast Of North
Carolina, but he" historians are on
the grounds with the goods TO prove
it,
North Carolina not only first light
ed the patriotic fires, but, like the
yestal virgins, she kept them CON
stantly burning, shedding luster and
giving inspiration 10 her neighbors
throughout the protracJed revolution
airy period.
Nurtured on the pure and salubrious
air OF the mountains, it is not wonder
full that her people should be ready,
Ishmael-like, TO raise their hands
against tyranny and oppression al ali
seasons and at all times.
This held true in the sixties. AS
her hardy sons dared maintain their
rights in 177G the same determined
and unconquerable spirit was mani
fest in 1860, and North Cardinals con-
tribution to the Lost Cause is a lu-
minous page in southern history.
SO when the spectre Of war over
Swallowed the land in 1898 the first
sacrifcial blood that was shed OH our
country's altar was North Cardinals
patriotic offering.
North Cardinals contribution 20 the
nation has been illustrious, both in
field and cabinet. She is worthy of
any encomium that may be pronOunc-
ed upon her. Not only as mother of
illustrious sons is she great, but she
has peopled other states with sons
and daughters who have distinguish
ed themselves, and have added TO the
nations achievements along many
lines.

of the foremost farmers Of Texas met

Mr. H. +. Singleton of Mckinney was
better qualified than any other man
in Texas. 1t was only after repeated
Efforts on the part of the committee

Russell of New York. She was held
for a hearing on Feb. 8. Mrs. Thomson
said nothing when she was ~arraigned,
and her counsel refused to be inter
