FREIGHT RATE DISCRIMINATION
Unreasonabiy High Charges Against
North Carolina Towns For Shorter
Hauls-An Injustice and an Outrage
That Ought to be Stopped.

Discussing the long and short haul
clause of the railroad bill, in the Sen
ate few days ago Senator Overman
cited the following instances of freight
rate discrimination against North
Carolina towns and in favor of Vir-
ginia points:
"Cincinnati to Lynchburg, via
Greensboro, 742 miles, the first class
rate is II cents per hundred pounds;
Cincinnati to Salisbury, $50 miles,
the rate is 29A cents. Cincinnati to
Lynchburg, via Greensboro, 742
miles is 1924 a carload; Cincinnati
to Salisbury, only $50 miles, it is
5000 a carload. The difference in
miles in favor of North Carolina
points is 1852 miles, and the difference
in rates in favor of the Virginia
towns is $76.
Here is comparison of the rate
from Cincinnati, via Greensboro, and
from Cincinnati to Charlotte, n. c.:
To Lynchburg it is 742 miles, from
Cincinnati to Charlotte is 59S miles.
The carload rate to Lynchburg is
1924; the rate to Charlotte, N. c., is
5000. The difference in mileage in
favor of Charlotte is 144 miles, and
the difference in rate in favor of the
Virginia city is $40.
''Take the rate from Cincinnati to
Lynchburg and from Cincinnati to
Winston, n. c.: Cincinnati to Lynch
burg, on a carload of freight, the
rate is 1924, and to Winston it is
$1SG; a difference in mileage in favor
of Winston is 1873 miles and a differ
ence in rate il favor of the Virginia
town of $62.
"Cincinnati to Lynchburg, 1924;
Cincinnati to Durham, $1S6; differ
ence in favor of Durham of SO miles.
I.ynchburg is SO miles further, and
vet there is a difference of $62 in fa-
vor of Lynchburg, Va, against the
North Carolina town on carload lots.
"The chamber of commerce of the
city of Greensboro has sent me some
startling and glaring facts in this
matter, showing this unjust discrim
nation against some OF our splendid
cities which l will read:
No. l. Shipment: Carload grain
products (foodstuff). Toledo, O., 49,
600 pounds minimum, to Lynchburg,
Va, 13 cents 100; to Winston, N. c.,
81 cents 100; loss on this car in favor
of Lynchburg, $72.
"No. 2 Shipment: Carload grain
products (four). Toledo, O., 10000
pounds minimum, to Lynchburg, Va. :;
13 cents 100; to Winston, Green's
boro in favor OF Lynchburg, $S4.
''No. 3. Shipment: Carload peas,
Fairfax, S. c., to Greensboro. Rate
to Richmond, Va, 8 cents 100; rate
to Greensboro, n. c., 27 cents 100;
and the car passes through Green's
boro to reach Richmond; loss to
Greensboro in favor of Richmond, on
10000 pounds carload, $54."

Mt. Airy News
A wise man said, ''If a man write n
better book. preach better sermon
or make better mouse trap than
his neighbor though he build his
house in the woods the world will
make beaten path to his door"
In other words if he shows other men
a better way they look to him for
help. The boys and men who are
now trying their best to make large
yields of corn on an acre of land in
this country are going to be greater
benefaetors to the people than the
men who endow colleges and other
institutions. These men who are
leading for better yield on the lands
are going to change the methods of
farming in this section and put farm
ing on higher plane. The slip-shod
methods of the past will be no more
after these pioneers show what it is
possible for the lands OF this section
to produce.

HOW PROHIBITION WORKS.
Commissioner CabeIi Reports a Big
Increase In Moonshining and Block
adiug-Nnmber OF Arrests 36S,
Against 33S the Previous Year.

Washington Correspondence Charlotte OBJ
server, 18th.
In O. recent statement before q sub
committee CT the House committee
on appropriations Mr.. Royal E. Cab
ell, commissioner of internal revenue,
made some very interesting observa-
tions in connection with the expe-
rience of the Treasury Department
with wet and dry territory
In urging that his appropriation
be $15O,0O0 instead of 100000,
he said: "Owing to the fact that a
large amount of territory has recently
changed, on account of State legisla-
tiOn, from license to no license, moon
shining and blockading has increased
enormously. Last year there was
all increase in the number of illicit
stills captured from l, 13O in 1908 to
1,743 in 1909. The greater number
OF these increases took place in dry
territory-Georgia, North Carolina,
etc. The number of arrests increased
from 32S to 3S8. We had pending
July I, 1909, 1850 criminal cases,
practically all reported by our field
force, and during the year ending
June 80, 1909, we disposed of 3,7S6
criminal cases."
The chairman of the committee
asked: "How do the number of
criminal cases arising now in the
States where prohibition laws have
been enacted compare with the num-
ber Of cases in those States prior to
the enactment Of snch prohibition
legislation?"
"a very great Increase, ii notable
increase" was the reply.
"Give us the concrete increase"
'In Georgia, last year. there were
294 distilleries seized and destroyed.
For the year ending June 30, 1909,
there were 623.
In North Carolina, which has recent
ly gone dry, the proportion is just
about the same; in Oklahoma there
were approximately three times as
many arrests and reports Of viola.
tion since the State went dry. And
the experiences in these States are
indicative OF the conditions existing
elsewhere in the so-callpd dry coun
try"
These figures show side OF the
prohibition situation that Southern
States must see sooner or later.

If Your Stomach, Heart. or Kidneys are
weak, try at least, few doses only of DR..
Shoop's Restorative. In five or ten days
only, the result will surprise you. A few
cents will cover the cost. And here is why
help comes so quickly. DR.. Shoop doesn't
drug the stomach nor stimulate the Heart
or Kidneys Dr. Shops Restorative goes
directly to the weak and failing nerves.
Each organ has it's own controlling nerve.
When these nerves fail the depending organs
must of necessity faiter. This plain yet
vital truth, clearly tells why DIR. Shoop's
Restorative is so universally successful. Its
success is leading druggists everywhere to
give it universal preference. A test will
surely tell. Sold at The Paragon, H. E.

asking all candidates for the ministry
to abstain from the use of tobacco.
Some wanted to make it stronger
and prohibit present ministers from
using the weed, but this was lost and
the rule to apply it to those coming

carried by the narrow margin OF two

AN EARLY PIONEER CALLED HOME
Venerable Charles Waters Dies in the
State Of Oregon. Aged 50 Years

The early settlers of Vernon county
viii read the lines with sorrow that an
nounce the death of one of the best
known former residents of this COM
munity, Charles Waters, who passed
over the great divide at Patton Home,
home for the aged located near Port
land, Oregon, December 81. This pa
triarch of the old times, a man of rare
intellect, although with few educational
advantages, had survived eighty-nine
years and twenty-nine days. Death
followed a paralytic stroke, but he had
been IN feeble health for many months
If not years. He was native of Con-
neeticut. but the family removed to
Wisconsin while it was yet territory,
engaged in mining and farming in Iowa
and Grant counties. They settled in
the town of Jefferson in 1858, where
Mr.. Waters farmed and cultivated a
nursery. Mrs. Waters died in 1864,
leaving eight children, the youngest a
babe of two weeks. Later they moved
TO Iowa, thence to Oregon, where his
closing years were given to fruit eul-
ture.
During his residence here Charles
Waters is remembered as an enter
prising, upright citizen and leader in
all that was for the betterment of man
kind and the community. Fact of his
taking off, thought past the allotted
time of man, will be read with keen
regret by his old neighbors and friends.

According to hunters, quail are
facing hard winter, and they predict
it will be only through the thcaghtfal-
ness and grace OF farmers III many of
the birds do not perish of starvation.
The snow has brought disaster to the
quail which are unable to procure their
feed and many Of the birds will be
found dead in the field unless they are
given assistance by farmers. Reports
are current that quail are obliged 70
invade barnyards TO get food on which
to subsist. Those interestedin the pro-
lection Of wild game have suggested
that farmers scatter little food for
the quail during the severe weather
until they are able to find food in the
field.
