Rate Hearing Postponed.

1t is understood that there will be
an order made very soon by the cor
poration commission indefinitely post
poning the hearing that was set for
August &c. In the matter OF the petit
ton Of the railroad companies in this
state to have the commission allow
the application of what is known as
the Georgia freight rate tariffs applied
In North Carolina, with view to hav.
ing this schedule OF rates become a
uniform tariff for the states compos'
ing the southeastern freight zone.
There have heretofore been two
changes ordered as TO the date for the
hearing and 1t is likely that the 'in.
definite postponement" will really
amount to the ultimate termination Of
the whole proceeding, due to the dis
inclination of both the state and the
interstate commissions to allow any
radical changes in the basis OF freight
rates during the period of the war.

Democratic Leader Kitchin said
that estimates submitted to him by

Present indications, according to
Mr.. Kitchin, are that $4,000, 900, 900
