HIS EDICT SERVES PURPOSE

Raleigh. \. G., November io,-Tho
members Of tho Corporation Commits
sion were in Elizabeth City to-day for
special hearing on the petition of
the Norfolk Southern railroad Com
pany, for permission TO change tho To-
cation OF its passenger station from
the present site on tho wharf TO q point
on the main line, in order that tho
necessity OF backing into tho city and
consequent loss OF much time may be
eliminated. Strong opposition has been
set up by many citizens. The an
noumccment by Governor Craig of his
appointment Of special commissioners
for the commission that is to pass upon
the exceptions OF the intrastato car
riers to the freight rates fixed in tho
Justice act. passed by the special ses-
sion is expected at any time now, ana
the most complete mystery envelopes
the probable appointees. The decldr.
alton OF the Governor several weeks
ago that he wanted no applications
and that the nling of applications or
any activities toward securing the APP
pointments individually or for friends
would be taken as operating against
such appointment. has completely cut
out at least direct efforts for securing
tho appointments The Governor has
issued no statement as to tho intra
state rates since he received the pro-
tests and accompanying exhibits from
the railroad companies, setting out
their grounds for claiming that the
proposed rates are unjust and conhs-
catory, and much lower than any other
States.
