INV name having recently been
added To the ommittee on Trans
nortation Of the Chamber Of Com
merce. on account Of a discussion
before that BODY OF a proposition to
secure an additional steam railroad
into Greensboro, which discussion
caused the president OF the chamber
of Commerce To feel that 1t would be
well to increase the number who com
posed that committee. and having III
tr~ansacting some business for a client
Of mine, had my attention called 10
what | conceive to be an outrageous
discrimination against Greensboro in
the matter Of freight charges, | have
looked some WHAT lHlD the SuDJetI diid
given the matter some thought. /
have concluded that surely the people
Of this CITY do not understand the
extent of the discrimination against
them by the only railroad that mas
lines entering Greensboro, and ] have
concluded further, that if they did un-
derstand it that they would be aroused
to greater activity to get relief from
the present situation. | believe that
if all the business men of this city
We're to become connected with the
Chamber OF Commerce, and through
it make a determined effort to secure
railroad connections between Green's
boro and the Seaboard Ar Line. or
some other railroad system that is in
dependent Of the Southern. that a
practical way could be found to brine
this about. IT is with the hope of Sc
curing organlzed effort IN this behaif
mat write TINS article. ana state q

orally known.
A client of mine to!d me a few DAYS
ago that he mad shipped from some
point in Pennsylvania. a consignment
Of iron pipe 10 Wilmington. y. G., an
other consignment to jacksonville.
Fla, and still another to Greensboro,
and hat the freight charges per hun
bred pounds to Wilmington We're less
than the charges to Greensboro. and
the charges to Jacksonville. Fla, were
Dul TWO OF three cents per lulUtpU
more than to Greensboro. From re-
liable sources | have earned that it is
cheaper to ship goods from points
north through Greensboro. to nointS
south. and from ,ointe ,ra. ~
greensboro, through Greensboro, to
points north, south and east. and from
polnls south OF greensboro, through
GREENSBORO, 10 points north, west and
east or greensboro, for less freight
charges than is charged for shipping
the same goods from the same points
10 greensboro. A few instances of the
eNOrbitant charges will illustrate the
