NP, RSTD 10/22C/1862

From the Raleigh Standard
 
October 22, 1862
 
Right
   The Legislature of Virginia has passed a bill compelling the Railroads terminating in the cities of Richmond and Petersburg, to transport wood to said cities. The Legislature of North Carolina ought to pass a similar bill for the relief of town in this State. There are always a large number of almost destitute families in every town in the State, and there is consequently a good deal of suffering for wood in the winter months; and this winter, considering the high prices, we fear there will be more suffering than usual. We know that some of the Railroads have evinced a commendable spirit in this respect, whilst others have not done so.
