AS to whether the Legislature ought to accep.
the reductions on certain ciassfcations of intso
state freishts there is division Of opinion. Thers
is no division of opinion-there can be none ex,
cept by those who see through the goggles of raiL
roads-that whatever adjustment Is made should
be carried out by men selected for their peculia-
fitness and ability and nerve>
When this General Assembly adlourns, the cor.
cessions offered by railroads would be worth very
little unless the matter has been put in the hands
Of alert, able and vigorous men to see that the
State gets these concessions. The average bus.
ness man ought not to be put to the expense and
trouble to scan all his freight receipts to see that
he has been given the rates as promised BY the
railroads, but it should be the duty Of State off.
Gals to scan the freight bills for them, and, month
by month, to tell whether Asheville has obtained
all that has been promised on all classifcations
of freights, and whether Elizabeth City, and al
intermediate points, have received their conces.
sions.
In other words, the man behind the gun i.
worth more than the gun. The railroads VIII
promise to come down." but, unless David
Crockett is behind them day by day, who VIII
know on how many shipments they give reduced
rates and how many chances Of classification
they will make?
Let US not forget that railroads when they
wish to increase freight rates do not do so by
issuing an order to increase rates. They merely
change the classifcations and by so doing they
often increase the rate 50 13 per cent. Now who
is to watch for the State, to see that there is no
change in classificatons and to see that every
concession reaches the purchaser and consumer
These are the questions which the Legislature
now in session will, of course, deal with, unless
the extra session is to be a farce.

TWO DAYS FOR GOOD ROADS.

that publicity which means for advance in this
movement, with the desire to secure some prac-
ucal good road work at the same time.
On the two days named every able-bodied man
IN North Carolina is asked to take ND his shovel
ana his hoe and other road-making implements.
ana get to work. Governor Craig is himself TO be
one OF the workers, as is also President H. b.
warner, OF the North Carolina Good Roads Asso-

TWO Gays named as festal days and HOLIDAYS, will

In connection with the proclamation Of Gov

pulpit IN North Carolina there could properly be
on Sunday. November second, sermons on the
value OF good roads, calling attention to the Good
ROADS Days" OF the week. This can very prop

Interest for a great many people watching the
commercial and industrial growth of the State
continues to invest quite decidedly the prospect
Of the development of Cape Lookout and the
Inland Waterway. Prom the Beaufort News we
get some late and suggestive facts about this
great development.
The News says that if Cape Lookout is to be-
come a great coaGng station it will also become
a great oil station, and while the railroads are
building great coal piers the oil companies Will be
building great oil tanks.
This latter development has already com
menced, one Of the large oil companies having
started to acquire a line of boats to serve
its agencies along the Inland Waterway between
Norfolk and Beaufort and along the coast from
Beaufort to Ocracoke and Swansboro.
The Inland Waterway, the building Of the bar.
Dor OF refuge at Lookout and the opening of tho
Panama Canal should make Eastern Carolina a
busy hive of industry in the immediate future.
There will undoubtedly be great development in
this section Of the State in the coming years,

The best way to prove your interest in town
affairs says the Randleman Dispatch" is to be
always present at meetings and not plead ex-
cuses. Well said. The man who won't go out
and help discuss and solve town problems is not
measuring up to his full duty as a citizen There
is a crying need in every community for men who
will undertake at least something for the good
of the whole community instead of devoting their
whole time and strength to the prosecution of

The Moore County News tells of the growth of
the canning industry IN that county. 1t saws
that many thousands of cans Of tomatoes were
put up IN that county the past summer, some
for winter use but mostly for commercial pur.
poses. 1t has been too much the practice in this
State to depend on other States for canned goods.
AS great a farming and truck growing section as
North Carolina is, much more canned fruit and
vegetables should be sent out of the State than
is shipped in.

TWo-CENr PASSENGER RATE.

How much longer are the people of North Caro-.
lima to be compelled to pay high passenger rates
when most other States similarly situated have a
two-cent straight passenger rate?
Take Arkansas, for example; nobody will saw
for a moment that Arkansas has a ponu1a t;o,
that travels any more than North Cardinals or
that travels as much as the population Of North
Carolina, nor that the State of Arkansas is &C
prosperous nr that the railroads have as great
volume of business there; and yet in Arkansas
people pay two cents a mile on all the railroads
in the State.
The same thing is true in Oklahoma, Nebrast,
and other States which have less population no.
mile than North Carolina and are not 50 nro.
porous as our State.
What is the matter with North Carolina thu,
this State should have to pay these exorh,ta,+
rates.

NORTHWEST FOOTBALL SCORE
Idaho now Second in Standing But
Predicted Would be Third.

With only the Thanksgiving day
appears to be assured of winning the
1913 Northwest Conference football
championship. The Purple and Gold
has only to battle the Washington
Staters and that game should be easy
for the champions according to all
northwest critics.
AS runners up, Oregon Agricultural
college and the University of Oregon
appear as most likely and logical can
didates. The Aggies and Idaho at
present rank second, with two wins
and but one loss apiece, but Thanks
giving day should find the Aggies
safely anchored in second place, for
it is predicted they will easily defeat
Idaho.
That will tie Oregon and Idaho at
the 500 mark, but Oregon defeated
Idaho 81 to some weeks back and
that alone is sufficient to station the
team in the first division.
Whitman College has had a particu
larly disastrous season, succumbing
to Washington, Washington State, Ida
ho and the Oregon Aggies by large
scores. Hahn lost a major portion
of his bulky material last fall and it
will take him several seasons prob |
ably to work back up the ladder as
contender.
Washington State college, with
good. bunch of material and a good
coach, likewise has been unfortunate.
The Pullmanites appear to have a
stronger eleven than Idaho, but the
two ancient rivals met so early i'll the |
fall that Idaho was able to slip over
a 8 to victory. Aside from that re-
verse, Bender's team has behaved with |
credit to it's coach and its institution.
Oregon's remaining game is the an
nual Turkey day clash with the Multi
nomah club.

Agreed at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Striking
trainmen on the Southern Pacific be-
twneen Ell Paso and New Orleans have
agreed to return to work Immediately
pending the outcome of further negot-
iations, it was stated today by mem
bers of the federal board of mediation
and conciliation. The arbitration
plans, it is added, will be announced
this afternoon.
Four different unions are involved
in the strike. They joined forces and
wanted to negotiate with the railroad
company through joint committee.
This the company refused to do, in
sisting on dealing separately.
Under the terms of the agreement
finally reached the company yielded
and signified it's willingness to accept
the joint committee. If 1t can do so
the committee and railroad represen
atives will try to settle the differences.
Should they fail, the controversy will
be left to the federal mediation board
to decide.
