Several Interesting Mat
ters Discussed at Yes
terday's Session
REPORT ON SWITCHING RATES
Believed That Discrimination Against
A. & 3. Will be Setted-Rcsou-
tions Adopted on the Death
Of Col. &. C. Machen.

The regular weekly meeting OF the
beard of trade yesterday morning wa
very interesting one. and several
matters of interest were taken up.
Probably the most important mat.
! ter was the report rendered by the
special committee appointed some
time ago to investigate the discrimi-
nation of the railroads in their charg-
es for shifting cars of the Atlantic
and Birmingham railroad.
AS is well known this matter was
brought to the attention of the board
sCme time ago and a committee, with
f. d. Aiken as chairman, was appoint
e. to investigate the matter. 1t seems
that the roads were charging $500 for
shifting A. & B. cars while all others
we're shifted for $500. Since the com
mittee was appointed considerable
corresponding has been going on with
the railroad companies, and it is now
apparent that the matter will be ami
Cably settled.
Mr. Aiken rendered report yester
day, in which he stated that the com
mittee had been hard at work and ha,!
atout succeeded in arranging the mat.
tcl. and it is believed that in a short
time the roads will agree to Shift A.
u b. cars at the same rate us is chare
Cd others.
Another m<r brought up ye.ter
from several capitalists. who are inter
esled in a syrup refining plant. These
capitalists stated that they would

The committee appointed at re-
cent meeting to draft suitable resolu

en- submitted the following:
