N'ontinued FROM FIRST PaSc)
al the las; conference, April 10, to the
proposal OF the railroad people which
the commission rejected
There arc hundreds OF shippers here
from Charlotte. Greensboro. Winston
Salem. Durham and other points. and
feeling manifested Is intense, with Wig
orous demands tpiat in the event the
railroads do not come across at once
with some really rea sonable and con-
siderable reduction, the Governor lose
no time in converting the Legislature
for the specific purpose of dealing with
the railroads In this matter
Governor Craig, In announcing the
agreement of the commission for the
railroad officials to have the time un-
til noon tomorrow To prepare answer
To the commissions latest pronounce
mcnt. made II plain that he will not
hesitate to assemble the legislature
He said II Is plain that NoNh Caro-
lima is being grossly Disseminated
against. and the people demanded and
must have relief lie would go to the
limit of his power to accomplish this.
He, too. would regret war between the
people and tho railroads. but such a
war was preferable to the present in
tolcrablc conditions.
lie believed that while the rcduc-
tons that the commission is demanding
would mean temporary losses to the
railroads. they would soon develop such
increased business in North Carolina
that the ultimate benefit to the roads
would far outweigh temporary losses.
Under present conditions this State
seems 10 be forbidden territory for
development OF industries. To relieve
these conditions. II war with the rail
roads must come, let II come. he said.
and the responsibility would be with
the railroads themselves

THREATENS
FIGHT ON RAILROADS

his warning 10 the railroads in Civ
ing them until Wednesday noon to
show real purpose to grant relief,
there were fiery speeches by num-
Der of citizens representing shipping
interests. who were invited to express
their views for the benefit OF The rail
road officials
Answer of Railroads.
The iirst session OF the conference
beginning 1T noon and continuing until
after o'clock was taken up with the
reading OF the forty-eight- page type
written booklet by the railroad OH
Gals in answer to and in criticism OF
the proposition of the commission on
April 10. that North Carolina be given
a rate based on the local rate of the
Southern. Danville TO Washington. 1t
insists that the rate in Its application
would prove disastrous, In that the
North Carolina carriers would have to
bear the whole burden. suffering the
wipinS out OF All net revenues. 1t
set out ten contcns!ons under which
the commissions proposal would vo-
late the long and short haul clause of
the Federal regulations, dealing especi-
ally with rates from Cincinnati and
louisville to Virginia cities. and thence
INV tcitaiu .NoTlu ttTOllna zones. 1t
would give zone No. l a lower rate
from the West and from Baltimore
than that to Virginia cities: would give
to all the other North Carolina zones
lower rates than the rates 10 those
points from Virginia cities: that the
rates proposed from Cincinnati to Will
mngton would be lower than to inter
mediate destinations, the proposition
making these rates lower than re-
nI1i ht. i,fA
deprving the carriers of any Justify
ing reason for higher rates to inter
mediate points.
These were the principal features OF
the ten exceptions. which set out that
the whole scope OF rates in several
Southern States would be effected with
disastrous effect on the revenues of
the railroads and without in the end
giving any relief to the North Caro-
lima shippers. since similar concessions
would be forced an tho railroads by
other competing sections
When the conference rcconvened at
o'clock the commission presented
through Representative f. i. Justice,
an answer in which tho position and
arguments set out in the railroads
reply We're characterized as "specious
and narrow criticisms" OF the last
proposition of the commission, with no
indication Of prospect for any adjust
ment. If the roads had no further
proposition to mako the conference
might end at once, but that If they
did have any further suggestion of
settlement in mind, please to name it,
He said as for the commission it did
not recognize the force OF the excep-
ton TO the effect of its proposed re-
duction for Zone /. as giving lower
rates than Virginia cities. and the com
mission would be willing to wipe out
that zone and aDplV the secou1 con Ia
for the two zones They recognized
that there must be specific cases of
defective application of the basis but
that these could be adjusted as the ap-
plication of an agreed principal pro-
ceeded.

made on road from Bailey to st.
Clair; work is also moving
rapidly on the Mud Fork Poca-
hontas road. Mr.. Wagner is kept
on the go all the time to look
after the work in this district,
and but for the tying up of
roads in law suits more work
would be done, and more benefit
would be derived from road
money. 1t seems to be a habit,
that as soon as one piece of road
work is started some one Jumps
up and gets up law suit, just
as was done recently on the road
from Tip Top to Shoots, where.
by 500 was lost to this road,
and the folks who brought or
the trouble received $24. How's
that for a road suit which cost q
quite sum of money, much loss

A NEW SOCIETY NEEDED

GAS this is the day of clubs and
societies and organizations
galore for the accomplishment
of all sorts of ends we suggest
that one more is needed, namely,
a society for the prevention of
.cruely to land.
There might be and should be,
it seems to us, some law which
would bar the thriftless, care
less farmer from prosecuting,
slashing and starving his land.
The law jerks a man up, and
rightly, too, for cruelty to
animals and children, ETC., why
not say to him. you shall not de-
stroy your soil? What more right
has any man, either by renting
his land to q greedy, ignorant
tenant, or by his own sorry,
careless work, to starve and
crush the life out of his land
than to starve, beat and crush
the life out of his stock? Every
year witnesses the slow but sure
process of depletion and impov-
erishment Of hundreds of farms
in this country, and every such
depletion and impoverishment is
felt by the public, the State and
nation.
The impoverishment of the
soil is crime-a crime against
women and children, a crime
against society and the State,
and, 1T is not too much to say, a
crime against the Creator who
gave the soil, not that it should
be depleted and ruined, but that
it should be made more fruitful
if possible. There ought to be
some way to head off the soil
