ication to the Levy Court Tuesday re-

THE PRESS AND THE PULPIT

A preacher came at newspaper man
in this way: You editors do not tell the
truth. If you did you could not live;
your newspaper would be a failure. The
editor replied: You are right and the
minister who will at all times and under
all circumstances tell the whole truth
about his members, alive or dead, will not
occupy his pulpit more than one Sunday,
and then he will fnd it necessary to
leave town in a hurry. The press
and the pulpit go hand in hand with
whitewash brushes and pleasant words,
magnifying little virtues into big ones.
The pulpit, the pen, and the grave stone
are the great saint-making triumvirate.
And the great minister went away look
ing very thoughtful while the editor
turned to his work, and told of the un-
surprising beauty of the bride, while in
fact she was as homely as mud fence.

Is the shipper compelled to pay for the
extra weight of package where the 5S
basket or other peach packages are cratedP
Answer No, 3.
We have established estimated weights
for the different packages in which peaches
are usually shipped, and these weights
will be used regardless of the actual
weights. The estimated weights are as fol-
lows. -s-r
Peaches in handle baskets, 10 small
pounds each; in handle baskets, medium,
Is pounds each; peaches in handle bas.
kets, large 20 pounds each; peaches in As
baskets, 25 pounds each; peaches in 5-S
baskets, 80 pounds each; peaches in
3-gallon carriers or crates, 20 pounds each;
peaches in 4-gallon carriers or crates, 30
pounds each;peaches in gallon carriers or
crates, 40 pounds each; peaches in bushel
crates, so pounds each.
Question No. 4.
Why is the minimum weight of car
of berries 10000 pounds, of peaches in
a ventilated car, $1,000 pounds and of
peaches in refrigerator car 10000
pounds, when it is impossible to load
more than 500 or 600 baskets in refrig-
orator carp
Answer No. 4.
Other berry shipping districts were
getting 1900 pound minimum, and
to help our shippers to compete with this
we reduced our minimum from $1,000
and $4,000 pounds to $4,000 pounds.
In regard to the minimum on peaches,
this, prior to last year, was 18, 600 pounds
to all points except New England where
it was 10000 pounds. To make more
markets available for the distribution of
our peaches we have reduced from Is, 600
pounds to 5000 pounds minimum for
both refrigerator and ventilated cars for
all points except New England where the
minimum remains 10000 pounds as here
tofore.

FREIGHT RATES
Questions and Answers in Regard to
Transportation Matters


WILMINGTON, DEL, June 8, 1908.
Mr.. Wesley Webb,
Sec. Peninsula Horticultural Society,
Dover, Del.
Dear Sir:--Referring to your letter of
May 18th, relative to various transporta-
ton matters which have been under dis.
cussion between your committee and
myself, l give you below answers to the
questions which you ask, as follows:
Question No. l.
What changes from last year have been
made in the rates on tomatoes on the
Peninsula to Baltimore and other points?
Answer No. l.
There has been no change in the rates
on tomatoes. Last year we charged for
the return of the empty tomato packages
from Baltimore to points on the Delaware
Maryland and Virginia Peninsula, while
this year such packages will be returned
free.
Question No. 2.
In view of the lessened expense
to the Railroad Company in carry
ing peaches, caused by discontinuing
the shelving of cars, what reduction, if
any, has been made in freight rates on
peaches from the Peninsula to Philadel-
phia, New York, Boston, Rochester and
other points 4?
Answer No. 2.
Last year Q907) when it was first de-
cided not to shelve cars We reduced the
rates on peaches to many points, and in
addition to the reduction in rates, we also
reduced the carload minimum from
5000 pounds to 1900 pounds to
all points in both refrigerator and
ventilated cars with the exception
of shipments to New England points
in refrigerator cars where the minimum
still remains at 10000 pounds.
From this you will see that last year
we not only continued the use of shelved
cars but alsoj gave you the bene-
fit of the reduced rates. To nearby
points such as Wilmington, Chester,
Philadelphia and Baltimore the rates had
already been worked down to such low
basis that We could not make any re-
duction, but to more distant the reduc-
ton made last year are as follows
from points on the Delaware Division:
Former rate Present
minimum rate
5000 pounds min.

PINDALL DECIDED TO
 REVISE HIS SPEECH.

Little Rock, Aug. 20.-The newspaper report that Governor Pindall would oppose statewide prohibition in the series of speak ing appointments assigned him by the Democratic state cam paign committee, was the cause of considerable commotion III po- litieal circles here to-day, and re- suited in a complete revision of the governors proposed address.
 Acting upon the advice of par ty leaders, the governor has con- cluded to eliminate the much mooted question altogether, ex- eepting attacking tile Republi cans for their insincerity in de- elaring for statewide prohibi- tion. The governor reached this conclusion after hurried confer enee with party leaders.
 Immediately after reading the article President John K. Till man, of the State University. sent the following telegram:
 Fayetteville, Aug. 19.-"Mes- SITS. Anderson and Miller, care Western Methodist. You are at liberty to arrange one or two joint debates between Governor Pindall and myself on the prohi- bition question.
