ABOUT APPLES AND FREIGHT.
Why is it That Railroads Do Not Make
Freight Rates to Encourage Trade
Between the fountain and Seacoast
Regions of our State?

Thousands of bushels of the finest
buckingham apples have been sold here
this season atprices ranging from cents
to 20 cents per bushel. This is a superb
apple tor cooking purposes, and we do
not understand why the prices have
ruled SO low. The apple crop has been
large throughout the Southern country
and dealers have probably had difficulty
IN finding market for them at remu-
neratlve prices. Mt. Airy News.
NO better apples are raised in the
world than in Western North Carolina.
We do not know whether our part of
the State can ever be made to equal
the western part on fruit or not. but
one thing Is certain we do not do it now
although large and delicious fruit of
many kinds is grown here in great ex
celIence, though not in such large GUAM
titles as We would like to see it. IVES
tern Carolina also has other productS
III which 1t now surpasses US, and on
the other hand we have products in
which they can give no competition
whatever. We beat them badly in GER
tam seasons of the year on truck crops
and we have products of the water which
they do not. We want their fruits
cheese, etc. in its season and thew want
our truck, fish, oysters and clans, but
there is very little exchange of COM
modlties. Why is this?
1t is mainly because freight rates are
SO arranged that each section can trade
outside of the State easier than thew
can trade together. Northern apples,

roads make rates that will encourage.

uage, let us call the spirit OF the book.
1t is because we are made to live, for the
moment, under the influence Of the same
high sentiment-to feel the same rebel
lion against Puritanic arrogance and
oppression-and to throb with the same
hopes that filed the men whom Ashby
led. The genius of the "Old South"
finds in it fit and apt expression. We
inhale breath OF the beautiful ante bel
lum civilization, and we unconsciously
learn more with the heart, perhaps, than
with the head, something OF what was
best in the thought and life, and noblest
in the conceptions and aspirations OF the
people who loved the Stars and Bars.
In the old, it will re-vaken a proud
meInory-for the young, it will enrich
precious tradition.

Certain newspapers to serve patisan
ends. try to make it appear that times
are hard and wages rs low as ever.
and that the country is going down
hill at brisk run. But the facts do
not bear them out. Times are 4 great
deal better than they were few
months ago. and the indications are
that they will continue to improve.
Money is easier and work more album
dant at good wages; crops are bountiful
and prices good. With these things
SO what is to hinder times being better.
Let US complain less, realize more the
blessings that We enjoy and be truly
thankful for the same.

A BLAZE IN A STATE CAPITOL.
ILLINOIS BUILDING DAMAGED BY
SMOKE AND WATER.

Springfield. ILL.,. April Is.-Intense ex-
element was caused At the capitol at noon
to-day at the discovery OF fire in the
roof Of the north wing. Much time OF
the FIRE department was consumed before
effective work could be done, because OF
the high location Of the blaze. 1t was
over 2o0 feet above the ground. and the
flames at no time broke through the roof.
The excitement among the people in
creased when 40 was seen that no head
women rushed aimlessly about. while the
whole building filled with smoke IL
was nearly an hour before the hremen
were able to pour water on the flames.
To do this they were compelled to chop
holes In the roof. the entire north wing
was soon flooded under the roof and the
nre was eNtinguished. More damage was
done by smoke, water and the axes Of the
hremen than by the flames The flood
poured through the handsomely decorated
ceiling OF the Senate chamber. near the
presiding officers platform. and later a
good deal Of water found its way through
ceilings and floors to the executive floors
In the second story OF the building, In
which the principal offices are situated.
No serious damage was done to the rec
Ords or furniture.
10 Is difficult to estimate the amount Of
the loss. Secretary Hinrichson thinks the
roof on the north wing viii have TO be
replaced and that the ceiling Of the Senate
chamber Will have to come or. There is
no insurance on the building. The fire was
caused by timers who were at work repair
