The Standard of Raleigh,  March 25, 1863
        A GENEROUS PATRIOT
   A lady subscriber, who is a volunteer's wife [Civil War], writes us from 
Anson County, that MR. WILLIAM T. ROGERS, who is part owner of a mill, has 
been generous enough to sell corn to volunteers' wives at one dollar per 
bushel, when he could easily have obtained double that amount. He also offers 
to grind toll free for volunteers' wives, if owners of corn will sell to them 
at reasonable rates, but our correspondent fears that those who hold corn will 
not do so, "for we are surrounded," she says, "with a number of forward 
secessionists, such as always hold back their produce for high prices." MR. 
ROGERS, she says, is a Conservative, and was a Union man up to Lincoln's 
Proclamation.
