NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
4 NORM Carolina Merchants
Claim Against Six
Railroads.
Alleges That He Was Overcharged in
Shipment of Buggy From Penn
sylvania- Six Railroads
Are Involved.
Are Involved.

Washington, d. c., August 21.-
Probably the smallest claim for a re-
fund of alleged overcharges by a rail-
road that was ever filed with the In
terstate Commerce Commission was
received yesterday. It was claim for
the sum of twenty cents. It was pre-
sented through a firm of attorneys,
typewriting to set forth all the facts
in the case.
The claimants are the Tyson &
Jones Buggy Company, IF Carthage,
n. c., who in December, 1907, ordered
some iron wagon axles from Wilkes
freight rate of 81 cents hundred
pounds, when, they allege, the proper
rate should have been only 81 cents.
In perpetrating this outrage six
railroads were involved, and all OF
| them are made defendants in the peti-
Central Railroad Company Of New
Jersey; the Philadelphia and Reading
the Cumberland Valley, the Norfolk
and Western, the Southern, and the
Aberdeen and Asheboro Railroad.
In just what proportion these si1
roads should bear the responsibilit.
; for the twenty cents overcharge t.
the buggy company is one of the prob
lens before the Interstate Commerc
: Commission. 1t illustrates the char
: acter of the cases which Presiden
: Taft thinks the commission could b
Il relieved of through their transfer t
: a bureau in the Department of Com
! merce and Labor.

Every newspaper in tie State

believe that among the college boys
in the State schools there is some
mighty good material to develop into
newspaper men. With this idea in
view, the publisher Of The Evening

each year to stimulate the newspaper
work among the college boys of the
State. Here is our plan as we have

see the conditions more fully.

The foreclosure sale and reorganl-

as a rate disturber among other lines.
But several years ago the road be-
gan running behind, and when it was
unable to meet the obligations matur-
ing in January, 1908, the property was
put into the hands of receivers. Al
the time of the receivership the road
had outstanding short term notes

amounting to over $10,500,000. Prac-

Great Revival In Trade Of

New York, August Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S Review of Trade today says:
Reports from the principal cities
unite in confirming the revival in
trade. The prospect is that the vol
ume of business will before long at
tain such proportions that maximum
capacity will be reached and labor be
at premium. In the iron and steel
trade this condition seems to be al
ready in sight.
Railroads are enjoying such in
crease in earnings and such assur-
ances of good crops that they are buy
ing freely of steel rails and other sup
plies.
| In the dry goods market jobbing
houses report much better business
than a year ago.
| Orders for iron and steel are in.
creasing so rapidly that mills ant
| furnaces experience difficulty in max
| ing deliveries, and in some instance!
premiums are being paid for promp
shipment.
Additional orders for shoes are no
coming in very freely, and shoe manu-
facturers do not look for much bust
ness until the close of this month

AEuHgIsHOP's ANNIVERSARY.
Elaborate Celebration of Event Had
Been Proposed.

Philadelphia, Pa, August 2O-Many
congratulations were received today
at the residence of the Most Rev. Pat
rick j. Ryan to remind him that the
day marked the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of his entrance upon his duties as
Archbishop of Philadelphia. An elab-
crate celebration of the event had
been proposed, but at the special re-
quest of the Archbishop the plan was
abandoned and the only observance
was a low mass of thanksgiving,
which was celebrated this morning in
the Cathedral of st. Peter and St.
Paul.
Archbishop Ryan, who, during his
twenty-five years residence in Phila-
delphia has endeared himself to many
thousands Of Protestants, as we'll as
to the Roman Catholics of the city,
came here from st. Louis in 1884. He
was born in 1881, near Thurles, Tip
perary county, Ireland, and attended
/ a private school at Dublin until six
teen years old. He then entered Car
| low College, where he received his &C.
| clesiastical training and was ordained
| sub-deacon. In 1852 he left ireland
| for the United States and became
connected with the archdiocese of st
Louis, where he remained until his
appointment in 1884 as the successor
of the late Archbishop Wood of Phila
delphia.
Since he came to Philadelphia Arch
bishop Ryans church labors and pub
lie addresses and acts have brOugh
him wide renown. He was tn,
preacher at the dedication of the Ca
thedral in New York; also when pal
lium was bestowed upon Archbishop
Corrigan. When Cardinal Gibbons re
ceived the red hat it was Archbishop
Ryan who delivered the Grafton. H
| also delivered the address to Pop
Leo XIII, when a copy of the constitu
: tion of the United States was given t
him by President Cleveland
