And tho Eastern pa- were nevermore truthful than in making; such reference. The Knights of Labor man who was here last week said in his speech that the majority of labor- had their brains in their and never go to work until they get hungry. To a great de- his words were only too true. If there was less idleness in this land there would be less hard times. WanamaKer's crew seem to be going wrong. A short while since the postmaster at Selma was arrest- ed for taking money out of the mails. He gave bond for his at trial, and no sooner was he released than he was nab- bed a second time for stealing an overcoat. Last week two clerks in the Charlotte were arrested for pilfering letters. The administration has every to be proud of its appointments. John ought to put a few more thieves and in office. Some of our exchanges seem to be casting about for more fields. The for some- time published at LaGrange, has been removed to Goldsboro, will be enlarged to seven columns and published as a Sunday morning paper. The Clipper, previously published at Hookerton, in Greene county, goes to Bell's Ferry, in the lower part of Pitt county. We suppose the I Upper views Bell's Ferry as a better field of operation from the fact that the railroad ex- tension from Greenville to Kinston for Greenville was a lady indignation meeting against the railroad, so far as our knowledge goes, but we hear frequent com- plaints as to the manner in which the advertised is carried out. Greenville may not have as much money in the road as has Scotland Neck, but some of our people did give considerable, both in money and in right of way across their lands. However, what they may or may not have given to secure the railroad is not the question with us. In our humble opinion it would be far better to cultivate a of friendliness and good will between the oration and the people than that the con- should exist. By the ration acting in such a manner as to virtually say to the people have built the road and will ran it to suit out selves; we know you have got to travel on it or walk ; yon are under our thumb and if yon don't like what we do yon can lamp makes them no friends. It is usually this action on the part of corporations that raises such a sentiment people against them. How much better it would be if everybody was friendly to the railroad and spoke a good word for it, feeling at the same time that the corporation had some interest in their welfare. In reference to the schedule on the Scotland Neck Greenville road, it could hardly cause more inconvenience than at present. Frequently people here who have to meet the trains are compelled to stand around the depot from one to two hours, regardless of the condition of the weather, waiting for the trains. Then the along the route is equally as inconvenient. We had occasion to be on the road about two weeks ago and could readily see what discomfort and annoyance it was to the traveling public. There were about twenty people coming to Greenville and quite a number for on the train that left Tarboro. Among the number four what say.

Representative Hooker thinks the recent elections reminded the Republicans that minority and Re- may be synonymous sometimes and that they will not attempt to pass a set of rules in the House which will deprive the minor- of its parliamentary rights. Arrangements have been made by the Navy Department to secure the new smokeless powder for the small arms in that branch of service. Senator berry says the Democrats of the Senate will be able to say what will not be done by that body, but they will have to allow their opponents the privilege of deciding what will be done.

We hope the new fields will prove prosper- for both these papers. Time to Speak Out. In the last issue of the Scotland Neck Democrat we find the follow- It is generally conceded by most every one that railroads are a great blessing to any community; and in most cases so they are. The fact that are beneficial to com- linked with the further fact that they are controlled by who possess large fortunes, seems to restrain people from the actions of these corporations, when the same things, if done by individual, would be denounced in unmeasured times. Now, this is wrong. When a corporation over steps the proper bounds, it to be just as individuals. This is what we propose to do here and now. We do it in no spirit unfairness or spite, in the name of even- handed justice. Some ten years ago, as well as we remember, the people of Scot- land Neck and community gave the Wilmington and Weldon company towards building a branch road from Halifax to Scot- land Neck, with fair understand- as we have heard it, that the road should not go beyond this place. Scotland Neck was to be the , terminus. We were not a citizen of this place then, but we suppose that the reason the people exacted such terms of the railroad company was that they feared an extension the road would make this place a way station so the growth the town. Be that as it may, the road has been extended to Greenville, and will soon be carried further. We have no quarrel to make that. We have never thought that an ex- tension of road would hurt Scotland Neck. But what we have to complain of is The railroad are posing our people. The pie gave their money for the con- of a railroad, and under present management few are fitted but the and be only in the matter of shipping and re- goods. Advertised schedules mean People go to the depot to take an hoar or two, get on and sometimes fail entirely to get where they start. It is not uncommon for the trains on this road to be from one to two behind time. It takes boars to go from here to Weldon ad remain long enough to transact as boor's business, and Weldon only miles away and in same with Scotland Neck- small children. All these had to wait two hours at the for the from Scotland N ck, and it was a cold, damp, night. This is no occur- and all the trouble seems caused by the co- trying to make one mixed train do the work of two We write this with the best of feelings on our part for the rail- road, but the people we think it better for the corpora- to make friends of the rather than enemies.
