COULDN'T USE THEM.

CHAPTER Ala SAVED THEM.

One of the largest shippers of ber-
private letter to the editor of this
paper says: 1.-THE people of the
strawberry belt appreciate the efforts
of the News and Observer in their be-
half. Chapter 444, page IT'S, Laws
of 1903. is all that saved us. Without
that act the railroad would simply
have refused to receive the berries
and the shippers would have had a
hard time getting damages. In fact
when car shortage first appeared
quite lot of agents did at first re-
fuse to receive, but they soon got in
structions to give bill of lading''
Here is the law that our CORE
spondent said saved the truckers:
THAT section 1864 of the Code to
be amended so as to read as follows:
Agents or other officers of railroads
and other transportation companies
whose, duties it is to receive freights
shall receive all articles of the nature
and kind received by such company
for transportation whenever rendered
at a regular depot, station, wharf or
boat landing, and shall forward the
same by the route selected by the per-
son rendering the freight under exist
ing laws, and the transportation COM
pany represented by any person re-
fusing to receive such freight shall
forfeit and pay ITO the party ag-
grieved the sum of fifty dollars for
each day said company refuses to
receive said shipment of freight, and
all damages actually sustained by
reason of the refusal to receive said
freight"
This act is commended to the con-
sideration of those who say that ship
pers need no laws regulating rates or
telling the railroads how to transact
their business. Suppose there had
been no laws in North Carolina this
spring; the Armour transportation
trust would have ruined the people
and they would have had no redress

To the Editor:-My attention was

spot, some fourteen miles from

a jury of good men and held the
autopsy. The body was in charge OF

about the unfortunate man. l sup
posed, with the jury, that he was a
tramp, as there was nothing by Which
the body could be identified. The
pockets of the poor unfortunate had
been robbed, at least they were
turned wrong side out. Arson coun-
ty allows two dollars for a paupers
