FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION
HURTS.

President Hanes, of the Winston-Salem
Chamber of Commerce, is authority for
the statement that the associated cham
bers of commerce and business mems
organizations, which are seeking to pre-
vent discrimination in freight rates, Will
hold meeting in Raleigh on the goth OF
January. To this meeting every organi-
cation of business men in the State is
urged to send two representatives. The
burden of taxation imposed upon the
business interests by railroad freight dis
elimination against North Carolina towns
is heavier tax than all taxes imposed
by the State, county and municipal gov
ernments of the State. 1t is of the highest
Importance that the full measure of the
discrimination be made known to the
public and steps taken to put an end to
this injustice to North Carolina In order
to show the full extent of it. We quote
the following statement by Mr.. j. G.
Ball wholesale grocer, of Raleigh.
Mr. Ball says:
eff /, wholesale grocer of Raleigh,
buy molasses in New Orleans, / have to
pay 4S cents per hundred pounds freight,
while merchant in Richmond has to pay
only 20 cents on the same shipment. My
freight is calculated not from New Or
leans to Raleigh but to Richmond and
then to Raleigh. The freight itself never
goes to Richmond, but is stopped off here.
Thus you see l have to pay Il cents extra
for the privilege of having my freight
stopped off here.
'sThere is no town in North Carolina
to which / can have my freight calcu-
lated. 1t is always calculated as straight
rate to some Virginia town and then a
local rate from there to Raleigh is added.
The Virginia merchant is thus able to
sell his goods in North Carolina cheaper
than North Carolina merchants can. The
business that should be done by North
Carolina merchants IS done by merchants
in Virginia"

Carr for Senator.

To the Editor: notice that there seems
to be a tie-up in the election of United
States Senator for North Carolina Why
is it so? My opinion is that the ma
jority of legislators have come to the
conclusion that the office belongs to the
legal fraternity, or in other words no
one but lawyer is entitled to the place.
Common sense and reason would be
advantageous to the average legislator.
l am not disposed to criticize our legis-
lature for their action in the matter, for
each one thinks that his man is most
entitled to the place, for different rea-
sons.
All seem to be good men. and l can
not see anything against any one of the
aspirants, for it is we'll known that they
are all hight toned gentlemen but the
question now arises, we must have a
United States Senator, and who shall it
be? l will tell you. 1t Should be a man
who is man of and for the people The
only asprant for the place, as far as l
can see is General Julian S. Carr. He
is the only aspirant who has a national
reputatio and he is heightened gentle
man. He has been a successful man in
he succeeds in his own business he no
doubt can be entrusted with ours | am
Confederate veteran, and l know that
he has done more than any other man in
North Carolina for the veterans: and
am satisfied that if it was put to popu-
lar vote that he would be elected by a
large majority.
The Legislature may not appreciate
| what l have to say, l being plain me-
F., chanic but mechanics of the present day
! know moro than the average farmer, OF
| lawyer would give him credit for.
/ am satisfied that nine tenths OF the
| voters of Wake county are for Carr ant
| Durham and Orange are almost unit
| for him; and it would only be necessary
| for the people of the other counties OF
| the State to know him as well as we DO
aud then nothing short of his election t.

zens of North Carolina.

THE COAL FAMINE

Their charters expressly forbid their en-

prohibition, the coal mines and the rail-

The railroads have by this act forfeited

their charters, and compelled railroads
to do transportation business alone, the
coal famine would not have come upon
the country.
Why was not this done? Because the
railroad and coal trust is behind the
party in power, it keeps their Golfers
full of money, it selects the men who
are to enforce the law, it is higher than
the government.
In Raleigh there isn't q ton of hard
coal that can be had. The few tons that
have been saved over sold for fifteen
dollars a ton. Schools all over the
country are closing because coal can
not be had to heat the buildings. In two
towns in Illinois, headed by the mayors
and leading citizens, cars containing coal
have been confiscated. the coal removed

ers.
1t has all been unnecessary If the
charter of the coal-owning railroads had
been revoked, If the anti trust law had
been enforced. if free coal had all the
| time been in the tariff law,-if the rail

of the State of Pennsylvania and con-

the extent to which the trade and COM
merce of the city and port is in their
hands it is needless to say the white
population is on an infinitely higher plane
than the negroes and should be regarded
in the selection of an officer who is
brought into close touch with a CONNER
cial community made up of white men,
not blacks. The colored people of the
South have acquired absolute legal
equality and, in theory at least. political
equality, but social equality is something
that cannot be created by law and must
be subject to the control of local opinion
and sentiment.
at is commonplace to say that the
black race in the South has not yet ac-
quired this, and the citizens of Charles
ton stated a simple fact when they as
sured the President that it would be i'm
possible for a black Collector to take
part in the social functions at which such
an officials participation is essential.
The white citizens, who are not only in
the majority but almost exclusively
make Charleston what it iS-and are
making special efforts at this time to re-
store it's ancient prestige as a shipping
port-who pay the taxes, conduct the
government and manage it's banking
mercantile and commercial affairs, are
entitled to advise the administration in a
matter of such vital local concern When
the President takes an initiative against
their protest he not only commits a
grave political blunder, but also exceeds
his moral authority
1.-THE hosts of admirers won by Presi-
dent Roosevelt's independent attitude
toward the trusts, his spirited interven-
ton in the coal strike and his mastery
course in the Venezuela entanglements
cannot but deplore the ill-considered
nomination of DR.. Crum-an act which
will not only ALLEVIATE the sympathy and
confidence of the entire white population
of the South, but must work more harm
than good to the race it was intended
to help. The appointment of Harvard's
famous colored centre rush to a place
in Massachusetts does not change the
situation with respect to South Carolina. -

If you have a song worth singing
Put your whole soul in the songj
Put your pulse beat to its music
1t will help the song along.
For the hearer feels the keynote,
And the import it would tell,
And song that's worth the singing
Is song worth singing well.
If you have task worth doing,
Though the humblest kind ofwork,
Put your whole thought in the labor
Nor its slightest detail shirk,
If a thing is worth the doing
1t is worth the doing well,
And success will surely find you
And abroad your merit tell.
If you have an hour for idling,
Give the time to rest and play;
Aye, forget that work awaits you
'Tis by far the better way.
For, whate'er is worth the doing
1t is worth the doing we'll,
Whether il is song or labor
Or an hours resting spell.
