THE OCTOPUS. IN NORTH CAROLINA.

If Frank Norris were alive to-day, he could
write another story of "The Octopus" with North
North Carolina instead of California as the scene
All the long months of labor and planning, all
the favorable seasons with which Providence
blessed them-all this the berry growers of Chad
bourn and other towns on the A. @. L. Railway
have seen come to naught through the failure of
the Armour Fruit Express Company to provide
the promised refrigerator One thousand
seven hundred cars were promised and only 500
have arrived. Consequently, probably half mil
lion dollars has been lost to the truckers; and
100000 worth of berries were dumped into the
river in the one town of Chadbourn last week.
The berry growers continue picking and deliver
ing the crates to the station agent, and the Ar
mour Company will be sued for the losses. If
such a corporation cannot be held to full ac-
countability for what would otherwise mean the
ruin of an important industry, then our American
freedom counts for very little. We hope that our
North Carolina Corporation Commission vii be-
stir itself in the effort to get justice for our
truckers.
