they icing or re-icing the cars at the
expense of the owners, both as to Ia
| Dor and to cost of ice; the railroad
company placing the car at icinG sta
tions or loading points only on re-
quest of a representative of the own
! ers of the car. The cars are loaded
under the supervision of representa-
tive of the car lines and by labor furn-
iShed by the car line companies. After
the cars have been loaded and started
on their journey they are inspected at
different points en- route by repre-
sentative of the car lines. In the terri
tory of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road the Armour Car Company has
established a number of icing and re-
icing stations and at the great num-
ber of these points, they being far
removed from ice manufacturing
plants, they have erected large houses
in which to store ice. These houses
are filled with ice as early as Feb
ruary; this being necessary to a very
great extent on account of the inabil-
ity of the ice manufacturing plants
within reasonable distance of the berry
fields. to furnish from day to day the
quantity of ice required for the re-
frigeration of berries moving in the
height of the season"
When on the witness stand Mr.
Emerson testified that the refrigeration
charges were published by the Ar
mour Car Lines and the Atlantic Coast
Lines had no voice in the matter and
had never received any part of the re-
frigeration charges. Mr.. Frank Bar
ry, counsel for the Commission, un-
dertook to connect the railroads and
refrigerator car companies in SUCH
manner as to show that the railroads
acted as agents for the car companies
because the local freight agents for
warded requests from the shippers for
refrigerator cars Then L suppose,
sarcastically remarked Counsel A. r.
IIrion. ''if the requests were sent by
mail you would hold that the govern
ment was acting as the agent for the
car lines" Mr. Emerson testified that
1t would require from sixteen to
eighteen hundred cars to handle~the
business on his line which lasts about
four or six weeks. Such equipment
would cost about two million dollars
and it could not be used to advantage
in any other traffic. Should the crop
be destroyed in any year or should
there be a shortage in the crop, the
railroad not being able to use its cars
elsewhere, would be deprived of all
profit on its investment, if it owned
the cars.
Mr. Emerson also testified that be-
cause of the shortage of cars during
the season of 1905 the Armour Car
Line Company had already paid to
the growers fifty thousand dollars in
damages and had other claims to set
tie, which were all being paid without
a single suit The railroads had paid
no claims on this account and did not
propose to pay any as it was matter
with the car lines to deal with.

INTERESTED IN COTTON.
A Pleasant Scaboard Party Accompa-
MED the President to Raleigh.

When the Presidents train pulled
out of Richmond on Wednesday night,
it was in control of the Seaboard Of
ficials until it left Raleigh. The
popular and capable engineer, Mr.. Z.
II. Beckham, was at the throttle and
brought the train through with intel
ligence and care. There is not an
engineer on that road or any other
road who could have handled the train
with more care. The run was made
slowly and the occupants could sleep
as comfortably as if in their own beds
at home. The train arrived at Mill
brook shortly after one o'clock. Lonk
before the President was awake quite
a little party gathered. The train had
stopped in a great cotton patch-the
cotton growing on both sides of the
track Some of the members of the
party had never before seen cotton
growing and were greatly interested
in the growing white staple. In the
morning. when the President went out
at Millbrook to greet the little COM
pany he found q woman, with babe
in arms, who had been waiting since
four O'Clock to see him. The baby
had a bunch of flowers and the Presi-
dent took the child in his arms and
was as happy as the happy mother to
see a bright laughing, happy baby.
The Seaboard party who came down
in President Barrs private car were:
Mr. and Mrs Charles b. Ryan Mrs.
Hathaway, of Norfolk; Mr.. w. f.,
Christian. of Atlanta; and Mr.. Walter
G. Coleman, of Washington city.

The reports circulating from Snow

it is learned that the negro Charles

and was put in custody of special Of

and became unmanageable, the negro
escaping through the swamp. Sew

he was making his escape but from
trustworthy and reliable sources it
was ascertained that no harm was
done him. At no time was the pris-

"syndicateS are organized in Wall
Street by successful bankers or capital
ists-men who have made a great deal
of money-not by men notable for
their personal virtue and moral puri-
ty. In fact, the latter qualities never
enter into the consideration of those
who chip in to this form of blind pool.

slick operator who takes full advant-
age of the traditional secrecy connect
cd with the syndicate, to turn over
to his partners only such part of the
gains of particular venture as will
insure their good will for his next.
The attraction for the others is not
his honesty but the privilege of shar-
ing the profits he is sure to capture.
He can charge what he DleaSeS for
promotion costs; he can appropriate to
himself such stock bonuses as may
fall to his syndicate; he can give out
that the operation has proved a loss
