| 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. |
