WASHINGTON, Oct 2O.-President Daniel E. Willard, of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. chairman of the Com mittee of Railroad Presidents, made the opening statement before the h. terstabe Commerce Commission for the Eastern Railways in their appli- cation for increased freight rates based upon the worldwide financial eXigency due in great measure to the European war
 "The needs of the carriers are pressing and immediate he declared. "The actual situation has become ex- tremely critical"
 The roads are seeking a flat i'm crease of five per cent in freight rates throughout the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
 MT Willard called attention to the decision of the commission in the for mer case, wherein was stated that the net operating income of the rail roads in official classification terri tory is smaller than is demanded in the interest of both the general pub lie and the railroads" and to the fact that the railroads had already taken action to secure additional revenues through various advances and changes of practice

APPORTIONMENT.
Discrimination in School Book
Prices Causes Call for
Filing of New Bids.

Owing to apparent discrimi-
nations against Virginia, and
being determined that the State
should have all that is coming
10 it in the way of lower school
book prices, the State Board of
Education Saturday adopted Il
resolution calling for new bids
on all text books, the publish
ers to have such bids in not
later than December 20. This
means that all existing bids
are rejected.
The first apportionment Of
school funds was made out of
the special State tax levied for
schools, the amount of the total
fund for the year from this
source aggregating Sl,35l ,502.-
50, per capita of TWO dollars,
nineteen and three enths for
each child of school age in the
State. This apportionment is
payable to the various school
divisions in November and Feb
ruary of each year. Later a
second apportionment will be
made from the school moneys
arising from the literary fund
and the general Legislative APP
preparation,
This years income from the
special State tax of ten cents on
the hundred shows a marked
increase over the 1873 figures,
when a total collected was ST.

and four tenths cents per capita.

The LOST CAUSE
WILL ATTEND UNWILLING OF
CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL
AT RALEIGH, N. c.

Raleigh, N. c., May 22.-President
Wilson has promised to come to Ra-
leigh next month to attend the unveil-
ing of the memorial in honor of the
Confederate women of North Carolina.
The unwilling will be feature of the
annual reunion of the Confederate
veterans of this state. The visit of
President Wilson will be the first &C.
casjon since the civil war that Pres
ident of the United States has come
below Mason and Dixon's line to par
ticipate in a celebration of Confederate
sentiments. 1t also will be the first
time President of the United States
has unveiled, except on the battlefield
at Gettysburg, a monument to those
sentiments.
The monument that is to be unveiled
! stands on the Capitol grounds in this
city. 1t is a gift from the late Col.
Ashley Horne of Clayton, N. c., in
memory of his mother who sent six
sons to Lees army, three of whom
were killed
Col. Horne announced his gift of
! $4,000 for the erection of a memorial
/ in honor of the women of the Confed-
eracy only a short time before his
death, which occurred last October.
He was a Confederate veteran and
one of the leading men of North Caro-
lima. He was only twenty years old
when he enlisted in the Fiftieth North
Carolina Infantry and he served from
the beginning to the end of the war.
! Nearly all of his service was with Lee
in the army of Northern Virginia and
he was with him at the surrender.
Turning his face homeward after
the war, young Horne found a portion
of Sherman's army still occupying his
! fathers devastated plantation. The
blight of war on the Horne place had
reduced plenty to poverty. OF his five
brothers three had been killed in bat.
! tie and the other two were in Federal
prisons. With a negro boy he came
