| The Mails |
| Charlotte is on the highway of
travel, with two trains a day running through, yet it is a rare
occurrence to get a mail from north or south in regular time, or
anything approximating regular time. After making all due allowance for
bad weather and the embarrassments of the times, it is hard to
understand what detains the mails from Richmond, Raleigh and Columbia.
The Raleigh papers, for instance, are frequently two or three days old
when they reach this point; the same may be said of the Columbia papers,
and as for the Richmond papers it is a rare thing to get one of any date
within the past month. Several copies of the Raleigh, Fayetteville,
Columbia and other papers never have reached here, and we suppose never
will. We don't know who is to blame, but it does seem that if the trains
come through the mails might come along too. |
