A dispatch from Middlesboro. un-
der date of May II. says:
The Middlssboro Board of Trade
will likely go into extra session to-
night to celebrate over its freight
rate victory for Middlesboro. The
business industry of Middlesboro
was almost paralyzsd on the account
of the exorbitant freight charges in
and out of Middlesboro. This has
been looked upon for a good many
years as stumbling block for Mid
dlesboro industries and manufacture
ers heretofore who would have L.
Gated here and did not on account Of
the freight rates. Two years ago
the Middlesboro Board of Trade be-
gan this fight with only the aid of q
few Of the most prominent shippers
and they have fought it out to a
successful conclusion. which will
mean nluch for the business indus
