THE PEACH GROWERS WIN.
Interstate Commission Renders q
Decision Most Favorable to
the Shippers.
(By the Associated Press. J

Washington, June 9.-The Inter-
State Commerce Commission today in
an opinion by Commissioner Fifer
announced it's decision in, the case of
Georgia Peach-Growers' Association
against the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road company and others involving
the liability of the carrier for dam
age to fruit through negligence as
we'll as the question of proper freight
rates. The commission holds that
the transportation companies are re-
sponSible for damage to fruit through
negligence of the railroad to the Tull
amount of injury sustained, without
regard to the valuation placed upon
IT. was further held that the regu-
lation whereby the freight rate on
peaches and other fruit from Georgia
points is increased in proportion 10
the carload valuation fixed by the
shipper is unreasonable and unjust.
The charge of $50 per car imposed
by the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company on fruit
from New York to Boston the COM
mission holds to be unreasonable and
unjust, and should be reduced to $50.
The opinion concludes as follows
Upon all, the facts and circnm-
stances. includin~ on the one hand
the difficulties and liability to loss
attending the production and ship
ment of peaches, and on the other
hand the large percentage of cars
loaded above the prescribed minimum
weights for carloads for which eX-
cess no charge is made by the car
riers, the exceptional character of the
service which involves fast time and
prompt delivery and destination, the
carriage of a large amount of nom
passing freight, return of cars with
out loads and many other conditions
relatino to the highly perishable ma
ture of the traffic, the commission
holds that neither the minimum car
load weight nor the transportation
charge established by the defendants
engaged in the carriage of peaches in
refrigerator cars from Georgia points
to New York, based upon a rate of
81 cents from Atlanta to New York
is unreasonable or unjust.

Allegheny Speaks for
Freedom of Press.
C0mmendatiou of the Editor of the
News and Observer for Stand
ing for the Peoples
Rights.

Especial to The News and Observer
Sparta, N. c., June 9.-The Demo-
cratic party of Allegheny county in
convention assembled, adopt the fol-
lowing resolutions:
i. That we endorse the wise, pa
triotic and progressive administration
of Governor Charles b. Aycock and
the other State officers.
2. That we commend the able stand
fearlesSly taken by Hon. JoSephuS
Daniels in favor of the rights of the
people of the State and of the free
dom of the press. We recognize that
it would be a dangerous condition
when judicial officers can not be cri-
ticised without fear of punishment
for contempt. His fight has been
fearless and his victory complete.
3. We rejoice that the opening of
the present national campaign finds
the Democratic party of the State
free from dissensions and disaffec-
tions that we had in 1896 and 1900,
and is now fully resolved to retain
control of our own State administra-
ton and ready to cooperate vigor-
ously with our brethren throughout
the Union in a great effort to recover
possession of the general government
in common with the Democrats of
our sister State of the South and the
Union. We view with great alarm
the departure under Republican ad-
ministration from the great princi-
pies so earnestly inculcated by our
fathers as to the structure and pow
ers of the general government, and
so often enforced in the platforms
and principles OF Democracy. We
charge the Republican party with
reckless extravaganza, with fostering
trusts and monopolies and with a
total disrespect to the wishes of the
best people in the South ein making
appointments for office.

W. H. Ragsdale, Pitt: Prof. Charles
l.. Coon, Principal j. A. Macarthur.
Red Springs.
At the night session Mr.. J. w. Bail
ey, editor of the Biblical Recorder,
delivered a very scholarly and beauti-
fully conceived address upon 'The
Development of Literature in North
Carolina. He said that the develop
ment of a greater literature will come
from the development of a greater
life. America has not yet taken on
it's perfect form. because the Ameri-
can nation has not come in the full
ness of it's character. When it shall
come North Carolina should have
some one prepared to voice the Amer
lean message to the universities. To
do this we must live the national life
in North Carolina, there must be
freedom, universal outlook, transcend
ent individuality, and kinship with ele-
mental nature.
Governor Charles B. Aycock closed
the exercises with delightful ad-
dress upon North Carolina teachers
and their work This was clear cut
and in the Governors usual happy
style. His speech has been highly
complmented and the only fault
heard expressed is that it was much
too short.

As everybody knows by this
time, the gasoline engine which
does duty in THE HERALD office,
refused for whole week to do that
duty. After Intellectual efforts to
get an expert to doctor the engine,
the proprietor telegraphed to Ran
dolph Robertson at Corpus Christi,
who sells the Dempter engine, to
send a man at once to relieve the
situation. With the assurance from
THE HERALD man that the case
was extremely urgent and would
admit of no delay, Claude Fowler,
and expert machinist, came on the
next train, and in a very short time
had the engine in running order.
Mr.. Fowler, knows all about gas
oline engines and soon diagnosed
the case and applied the proper
remedy, and now the engine works
nicely.
