Blackstone Boys
Have Successful
Football Season

BLACKSTONE. VA, Dec. IL
Considering the fact that this was the
first year OF Blackstone academy and
its first football season, the record Of
the team Is rather remarkable. Coach
F. w. Jones'. u former Richmond col
lege star, took charge OF bunch OF
green material and developed q team
that held its own among ths prep
school teams of the State.
Only two men on the team had ever
played football before this season, and
with only forty in the school and less
than fifteen applicants for the team.
the strength shown both extensively
and defensiveiy against teams In their
class was uprising. The people or
Richmond did not have a chance to
observe the team at Its best AZ the
game against McGuire's was played
with the captain and several other
men badly crippled. Captain Korne-
gay was undoubtedly the star of the
season and would PROFESSIONALLY star
on any college team Of the state.
Spanglcr. the inexperienced fullback,
developed into q great line plunger
and with a little experience will make
a college back.
The academy will turn put track
and baseball team next spring and
will be glad to enter into correspond
ence with other academies for races
and games.

with the desire expressed in the chai-
lenge that the matches be held as
early In the month OF June as pos

The most distinctive step for the

The Chamber of Commerce
 Wants Explanation of Al legged Freight Charges.
MEMPHIS IS FAVORED
Representative of Company Will Be Asked to Confer With the
 Local Business Men.

That the Memphis Packet Company has in effect discriminatory freight rates in favor of the Memphis mer- chants is the substance of a general complaint that has been registered by the Pine Bluff merchants and busi- ness men. It is alleged by local mer- chants that goods can be shipped from Memphis to all way points and to Pine Bluff at rate one-fourth to one-half less than charged Pine Bluff men for shipments consigned to points below Pine Bluff.
 Several concrete instances have been shown that the packet company s rates are unfavorable 10 local mer- chants and the company has practi- cally refused to make any rate at al! to Pine Bluff manufacturer who de- sired to ship his product to points on the Arkansas river below Pine Bluff
 The matter has been taken up wi!h the Chamber of Commerce and Sec retary H. G. Spaulding has addressed a letter to the packet company reg istering complaint and requesting that the rates be capitalized. The le.- ters also stated that if the matter was not attended to at, once that Pine Bluff merchants wcNld abandon the use of the packet for making ship ments to down river planters and merchants and use the railroads.
 The management of the packe' company will be given an opportunity to explain the difference in rates by sending a representative to Pine Blufl and confer with business men and tht secretary of the Chamber of Com- msrce. Otherwise local shippers vii refuse to patronize the boat.
