ROCKY MOUNT, N. c., March 20.
Failure to connect safely throughout
the game. and going down with but
one single bingle throughout the nine
innings tells the story of the defeat
OF the local students at the hands OF
the Wilson High school yesterday.
Kinlaw, for the locals, pitched a
pretty game throughout. and with
some scoring behind him would have
gotten off with his game. The one hit
credited to the locals was by kirllaw.
and was for two bases. With the
locals it was clearly a case of too
much Ray. the Wilson firing artist.
and throughout the game he held the
locals in his grasp.

Of the granting of per cent freight

follows:
Increases the gross revenues of 81

mates to $10,00U,000 annually.
The total mileage affected In the
eastern classification is $500 miles,

OF the increase 1.6 per cent will go
into wages, which item at present rep
resents 44.5 per cent of the railroad
dollar" 1852 per cent into dividends
and surplus; .06 per cent into capital
and the remainder toward operating
expenses, maintenance, etc.
The elimination of an increase in
coal, coke and ore rates cuts the in
crease which had been asked by
$6,40O,OOO.
Coal and Iron Excepted.
Increases approximating per cent
must be paid on all products and
