Ma. EDIToR:-The 3Ceci Democrat" not be-
ing contented with abusing the Rail Road Com
pany has thought proper to strike at their agent
at the depot at this pl,ce in manner which
does it as little credit as it does the agent harm.
1t is not my purpose to combat with that paper
that would be meddlinr with "smal potatoes ~
In reference to its attack upon Mr.. Wells it
would only be necessary to point its editor to
the days Of his traflicking in a village little way
down the peninsula, and to describe the charac-
ter of the shop he there kept; but these things
let pass, and proceed to speak Of the Railroad
Company-their treatment of the citizens of
Eikton. SC.


Let us look at the matter in common sense,
business point ofview. 1t may probably be made
to appear that the "Corporationn in question,
has to say the least, as muck soul as some OF
those who abuse it, and if it were to be- admitted
that all the charges made against it, of want of
the disposition to oblige, or deal Justly with our
citizens, were correct, it might most probably be
shown, that they were at fault in the first place,
and brought about the state of things complain
ed OF, by their own grumbling, fault-tindlng, and
abusive disposition.


Is it to be wondered at, that the company
would become careless in relation to our cenyen-
ience?-would it be wonderful if they would
even study to disoblge u.s. when we hear them
cursed and abused by locofocos and those infect
ed by their doctrines as, "d-mn-d monoposts, ,''
"rogues, "swindlers, )" and all that-and abused
aso in the columns of one of our newspa p~rs
Certainly it would not be surprising They
would then act just as any single individual
would act-they would treat us as our conduct
towards them deserved; and if they have in any
case been careless, it in all probability is to be
traced to such feeling. So that it is plain that
the Cecil Democrat' by its abusive manner is
injurng our business men, and making them
liable TO suffer to greater extent the evils Of
which it complains.


| have said so much, having granted the
truth of the alleged charges, for the arguments
sake. But they are not true in the general, and
no more instances of neglect, can be charged to
the Railroad than to men engaged in extensive
business, even when they themselves are most in
terested.
