IN REGARD1O FREIGHT RATES

IN REGARD TO FREIGHT RATES
The Conference held in Raleigh
last week between the Railroads,
the Special Legislative Freight Rate
Committee. the Corporation CON-
mission and various representatives
of shippers dealt with one of the
most important questions now be-
tore the people of North Carolina.
At this conference the Railroads
offered to make certain reductions
in the proportional-rates from Lynch.
burg to points in Carolina territory
which would have the effect of
lowering the through rates from all
western points. The reductions Of
fered by the Railroads to High Point
were as follows: Class l, 7c, Class
3, &c, Class 3, Sc, Class 4, Sc,
Class 5, &c, Class 6, DC. Class D
(applying on Hay and Grain) 1c.
The same proportion of reductions
were offered to points as far outh
as Charlotte and as far West as
Morganton. The Governor speak
ing for the Freight Rate Committee
declined to accept this proposition
and said:
We respectfully decline to ac-
cept the proposition made by the
Railroads. In our opinion it applies
with neither the letter nor spirit of
the proposition made at the last con-

lference between the Freight Rate
Committee, Commission and the
representatives of the Railroads.
The proposition ufder consider
alton does not place the Cities of
North Carolina in fair competition
with the Cities of Virginia, but
" ould enable the Cities of Virginia
to continue to do business in North
Carolina territory to the exclusion
Of the Cities of North Carolina. 1t
further enables the merchants of
Virginia to continue to supply the
people of NorthICarolina with mer-
chandise at no reduced rate or price,
and would, therefore, result in no
benefit to the. people of the State,
Except in a territory within small
radius of portion of the Cities of
North Carolina, and in such territory
the advantage to accrue would be
inconsiderable. In some cases it
raises the carload minimum weights
so as to lessen the apparent slight
reduction in rates. Yourproposition
also, in the slight apparent reduc-
tons it does make, applied only to
six numbered class and not to the
Iettered classes. In some sections
of the State, composing large areas,
there is no reduction proposed by
you at all. 1t deals only with in
bound freight from the West and
does not deal with Northern or East
ern freight nor with any outbound
freight.
In further effort to come to a
settlement of this question that will
be just te the Railroads and just to
the people of the State, We will
submit counter proposition en-
bodying the maximum freight rates
which should be charged the people
of North Carolina, which will be
done in spirit of compromise, and
in no sense to be considered or used
as an estoppal in any other action or
course that the Stale may see proper
to take
The Counter proposition offered
by the State would result in a re-
duction of about Is per cent of that
portion of the through rate South of
the Virginia Cities.
AS an Illustration of what effect
the adjustment proposed by the
State would have on the inbound
rdtes from the West to High Point |
we give below the present class rates /
from Cincinnati to High Point and
the rates proposed by the State.
Class l from 98c to zoe; 2 from
SAC TO oOc; 3 from 68c to So; ~
from Sic 10 33c; S from 44c TO 28c; |
6 from 34c to 21c; Afrom 28c to zoe;
B from 31c 70 &c; G from SAC to !
e; D from 29c to 2lc.
These reductions would be of great |
benefit to the High r5int manufac-
turing and jobber. The reduction
in the gram rate would enable the
High Point jobber to successfully !
meet the Virginia jobber at wide
radius. At the present time the
Lynchburg jobber can ship carloads
of grain to LynchbGrg and then re-
ship small lots to High Point at a
rate only two cents higher than the
High Point jobber can secure the
same grain in carload Quantities from
1t is to be hoped that the Railrt ads
will squarely meet the States prop
sition and place North Carolina on
an equita bic and fair basis as com
pared with the Virginia Cities.

throw nine feet from the bag when
the ball m to the right, stretching
his full length and still hooking the
station with his toe.
Having to reach across his body
with his gIoved hand, when a ball is
thrown to the left of the bag. he nat
urally loses distance in mailing these
heaVes, but he a get those that come
within eight feet and two or three
inches. OF course if the worst comes
to the worst, the Dodger shoves out
his left hand and although bare, takes
a throw with it in this way getting the
benefit Of the nine-foot reach again.
When reaching into the diamond for
low heave Dauber has another tele-
scoping stunt to do. Of course he does
not have to stretch quite so far to get
a low one, for he can judge his ball
and take it on the bound if there is
time to wait for it.
Going after a high one is one of the
big stunts that Dauberta pulls. Nat
urally, when the ball is thrown a mile
or over his roof, he cannot keep his
foot on the bag and get it, but he goes
up like an aviator after the attitude
record and the ball has to be ten feet
above the ground to get by him safely.
Some Brooklyn admirers of the great
first baseman think hat he goes a lot
higher h a this, but a two foot leap
straight up with his body extended is
some hop when it is remembered that
the athlete has to AXE it from a
standing start and no time to prepare
for the spring. vs. .

LONGEST AND SHORTEST
RING BATTLES RECORDED

Sunday was the twentieth an
.niversary of the longest. glove fight
on record, pulled off at New Or
leans, April 6, 1893, between Andy
Bowen and Jack Burke. q
F.. The fight went ten rounds, last
ing seven hours and nineteen min
utes, and ended with a draw de-
casion when neither man could
fight and longer. ID
There have been a number of
'bare-knuckle battles, however,
that lasted longer than the Bowen
Burke affair. r.
The shortest bout or record was
that between Battling Nelson and
Bill Rossiter at Harvey, ILL.,, eleven
years ago yesterday when the
Dane put over a sleep punch in ex-
actly three seconds.
Pal Hawkins also claimed the
speedy knockout record. but Ma
lacy Hogan, who refereed both bat
ties, declared Nelson had the
shade. n
