f8lIrONOS, OeIcf1uauUS III llC SOAAAPs0iAe
Rates Unreasonable.
The commission says in it's ruling
that any rates above 40 cents a hun
dred on window and rolled glass from
Iittsburg and vicinity to High Point,
and 80 cents for plate glass, are un-
reasonable. The mirror companies
paid 81 cents on window glass and SO
cents on plate glass. The commission
says hat any rate over GA IL cents
from Toledo on plate glass is unrea-
sonable. The companies have been
paying 20 1-2. The companies de-
manded reparation on a much lower
scale, fixing damages from the Pitts
burg district on plate glass at ST.
S29.40 and from the same place on
cheaper glass at S~7,304.54. Not this
much will be recovered, but there will
be q considerable rebate coming as
soon as the correct amount is figured
out on the basis Of the commissions
ruling,
Rates Discriminatory.
The commission speaks OF the dis
elimination as follows:
1T must be admitted that a calm
loo at the map Of the Southern Rail-
way in the record in the light of all
the testimony shows that High Point
is unjustly Disseminated against
through the rates complained Of. We
are unable to justify the rates of 46,
SO and 20 1-2 cents from Toledo.
From any point Of view these rates
are out Of harmony with the rates in
effect to points with which High
Point is in competition"
What IS to Follow?
The fact hat High Point is only
one of the many towns in North Caro-
lima which is being Disseminated
against, particularly in favor Of Vir-
ginia cities, eads to believe that
the commission will decide many cases
in the next few months in favor OF
Carolina shippers. Commissioner Nc.
Chord wrote the opinion in the case
just described, and he pointed out il
that the fact that through these un
just restrictions the market Of tn,
High Point manufacturers has beer
gradually restricted until it a be
come impossible for them to compel,
fairly with other manufacturers il
what should be their field.
Every discrimination in the hun
dreds being practiced against Nortl
Carolina cities makes it all the harde
for North State products to find
market outside the State, and in man,
cases outside manufacturers can shi,
EOc dS into the State cheaper than tn
home people can manufacture Their
If part of the materials have TO b
shipped from somewhere else.

BAHEY's "PURE COLD FACTS.

&
Now here comes our friend, George
Bailey, of the esteemed Evangeline Banner
very indignantly accusing us of limiting thai
Evangeline was a heavy burden on the
shoulders of St. Landry parish. The well.
known editor of Evangeline's only paper
certainly misconstrued an article which ap-
peared in the Clarion Of November 9Th.
BY saying that There is little talk Of
putting the question (meaning prohibition)
to a vote, but the anti-prohibitionists are
sure that the question would be swamped
under, since Evangeline is off the shoulders
of st. Landry" we did, in no way mean to
insiauate that Evangeline was at any time
a burden on st. Landry. If our friend were
to take up the records and look up the cleo
ton which went for prohibition, when Evan
geline was in this parish, he will readily I'M
derstand that we only meant to say that
Eyangeline was overwhelmingly in favor of
prohibition, which is an undisputed fact.
We know that Evangeline has prosper
ed more in the last three years tqan it did,
when it composed a portion of the Empire
parish of Louisiana, and we did not ques-
ton that fact. We hope to see it one of
the most progressive parishes in the state,
but one thing Mr.. Bailey can not deny is
that ''EvANGELINE MADEST. LANDRY
GO DRY FIVE years ago, and had it not been
for the overwhelming numbers, in St. Lam
dry, who were against prohibition, as was
in vogue here, Evangeline would have gone
down in record, once more, two years later,
for having put st. Landry dry"
With all his observation-disclosures and great
intellect we do not understand how a dis
tinguished journalist Of Mr.. Bailey's calibre
should take the wrong meaning out of an
article, which was of itself totally void of
any ''slur'' on his parish. What is his
motive in trying to convince his readers that
the Clarion insinuated that Evangeline, in
the time that it was a portion of St. Landry,
was a burden on the shoulders of this par
ish, is incomprehensible.
The Clarion feels towards the people of
Evangeline the same, SO to speak, as it does
towards its own people, for, are not the
people of st. Landry and Evangeline the
self same class of people, energetic, pro-
gressive and ever ready to help each other?
. Now we would like to know on which
side the Pure Gold Facts lay? Why
should the editor Of our esteemed Evange-|
line contemporary take such an exception
and make "a mountain out of a molehill?"
We dare say that most people did not view
the said article in the manner in which it
was interpreted by the intelligent VILE
Platte Journalist.
We would advise MIR. Bailey that the
next time he reads an article which he can
not interpret properly for him to go to some
one who can. A man holding such a lofty
position as editor of the esteemed Evange-
line Banner should be a better judge than
Mr.. Bailey showed himself to be.
Whether it was gross neglect, u%nintel-
or whether Mr.. Bailey purposely
made it appear that The Clarion was pass
ing a sneering remark against Evangeline
We are unable to say.

PRIMARY NOT ADVOCATED

Our attention has been called to the
fact that some of our citizens have the idea
that Commission Form will do away with
the primaries, if adopted in Opelousas.
The City Attorney, Hon. P. R. Sandoz,
advises us that the Commission Form of
Government does not abrogate the primary
law, and that the Democrats will have to
hold their regular primaries as under the
Aldermanic Form.

At a banquet to be rendered him
Saturday night by citizens and ad-
mirers who reside in Brunswick and
Glynn County, former Congressman
William G. Brantley viii be presented
with a handsome silver service.
The fund with which the service
was purchased was made up entirely
within the county OF Glynn. and the
service is very handsome, notwith-
standing the fact that the subscrip-
tlons were rig1dly limited to 81 each.
Practically every business man in
Brunswick contributed, and the farm
ers thereabouts. with whom Mr..
Brantley always has been very popu-
lar, also responded Immediately and
generously.
Mr. Brantley has decided to make
Brunswick his headquarters, although
his new legal duties will carry him
all over the South, and II may be that
he will find II impossible TO remain
In that city a great deal OF his time.
His new duties concern every rail-
road of Importance in the South,
and his work will touch every system
penetrating Dixie.
1t generally Is agreed that Mr..
Brantleys retirement from Congress
left vacancy In the Georgia delega-
ton hard to I'LL. He was by many
considered the strongest man in Con-
gress, and certainly there has not
been time within the last ten years
when he was not looked upon. by
those associated with him most In
timately at least, as one OF the real,
constructive leaders.
Mr.. Brantley followed one Of the
greatest Congressman Georgia ever
sent to Washington-Henry @. Turner
but he filled the former Congress
mans place eventually to the salts
faction Of that great mans constitu-
ents And when Brantley retired
from Washington he went out with
little, II any, less prestige than Mr..
Turner.
Brantley is out OF politics forever
now, however, and expects to devote
the remainder OF his active life to
the practice of law. 1t always was a
great financial sacrifice to him to re-
main in Congress- anyway.

the proposed currency BIN is that 1t
will make times too good" said Con-
gresham Gordon Lee, who is in Geor-
gia for few days.
