STOCK MARKET.

few changes of more than minor i'm
portance at the irregular opening of
the stock market today. The gains,
however, outnumbered the recover
les. The shippings, oils and coppers
showed the most activity. The rails
were under moderate pressure on ac-
count Of further curtailment of the
transportation facilities of the coun-
try, due to the shortening of the fuel
supply. The absence of favorite
stocks caused lively bidding to cover
short sales in the motors and special
ties, and these stocks advanced from
1 to points in the first half hour.

RAILROAD RATES
ARE DISCUSSED
North Carolina Corporation
Commission Presents Case
DETERMINATION
AGAINST THIS STATE
AGAINST THIS STATE

Washington, Dec. 4.-Attorneys
for the North Carolina Corporation
Commission, the North Carolina
Commerce Commission and the rail-.
roads yesterday argued before the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
Virginia. Cities" case involving all
freight rates discriminatory against
points in North Carolina.
Edgar watkins, of Atlanta, made
the argument for the State Corpora
tion Commission and y. H. Fishback,
interstate commerce practitioner ar
gued the case for the several cham
bers of commerce interested. Charles
J. Rixey, one of the leading attorneys
for the carriers, argued the othep
| side.
Mr.. Rixey, at points in his argu-
ment, sharply attacked the recon-
mendations of Attorney Examiner
/ Burnside which, if adopted, would
| give North Carolina substantial re-
| duetion in rates northbound and be
tween North Carolina and South Car
Il
olina. He referred to the present in
trastate scale as the lowest in the
South, BIT didn't go into the recon-
mendation of the examiner involving
this phase of the case.
Mr.. Watkins declared that the ref
erence of the attorney examiner tt
intrastate rates was unauthorized
Mr.. Fishback. said that it presented
very serious matter.
The case came before eight of tht
nine members of the commission, tn,
, hearing beginning at 1890 and last
, ing until 4.30. Members of the com
: mission, particularly Commissione
Eastman, manifested close interes
in the argument of counsel and fire
quently interrupted the speeches t.
get at particular parts of the case.
8 The burden of the argument b.
Mr.. Rixey was a plea not to distur
existing scales although admitted
2 inequitabIe, for the reason that tn
: roads, when returned to private owr
r ers, would complete the revision q
> rates in the southeast begun in 1915
which gave no relief to North Carr

LANSING. TO
BE CALLED
THE FOREIGN
RELATIONS COMMITTEE
TO GIVE THE INFORMAL
TION AT THE COMMAND
OF THE STATE DEPART
MENT ON THE MEXICAN
SITUATION, AMBASSAr
DOR FLETCHER ALSO
HEARD. MIXED OPfNe
ION AS TO WHAT TO Do
WITH GREASERS.

Washington, Bee. 4.-Secretary or
the Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee before action is taken on the
resolution of Senator Fall, which
seeks to break off diplomatic reIa~.
tions with the southern republic and
asks President Wilson to do so. The
committee hopes to have him before
that body late this afternoon.
The decision to call Mr.. lansing
LUTON was for the purpose of secur-
ing all the information possible and
to get his opinion as to the best
course to pursue. The Mexican situ>
alton was discussed by the commits
tee for two hours today behind clos~
ed doors.
Henry P. Fletcher, the American
ambassador to Mexico, was before the
committee today to give his tcsti-
mony as to the conditions in Mexico
and his opinion OF the course to ba
pursued in dealing with the southern
republic.
It is said that his evidence revealed
considerable difference in opinion at.
ter he had finished, regarding the.
methods to be pursued in protecting.
American interests in Mexico.
It is too early TO predict what will
be done, but from the remarks OF
Senator Hitchcock the Democratic
leader. it is evident that the admin
. istration has not taken any definite
stand and does not propose to do SO
until it is fully informed.
On the other hand, the Republt-
cans seem to be disposed to favor tho
resolution, but they will also join
with the Democrats, it is believed.
In waiting sufficient length Of time
before taking action in order to ar
rive at the facts and reach just de-
| cision, before sending in favorable
report on the Fall resolution.

America

Washington, Dec. 4.-President
Wilson yesterday was requested in a
resolution introduced in the Senate
to sever diplomatic relations with
Mexico.
The resolution was offered by SEN
ator Fall, Republican, of New Mex
leo, who as chairman of a sub-com-
mittee investigating the Mexican sit
uation declared evidence had been
found which would astound the
world" 1t also asked that the Presi-
dent withdraw recognition of the

the Mexican embassy, the consulate
generals in New York and San Fran
cisco and the consulates along the
border with the knowledge and con-
sent of President Carranza, had been
actively engaged in the spreading of
bolsheviki propaganda In the United

Beau Brummel of police chiefs, is
out of job, and declares he doesn't
know why. When the city council
went into executive session and the
members stood up and told Hamil-

Something was said about the con-
ditions in South Kinston. which con-
tinues in spite of everything that has
been said and done to exist as Kin

cording to his version, declared he
had caused many arrests to be made

in getting rid Of the redhght distric'
and that il the council expected hin,
to take the women "across the river
and tie them down to prevent them
returning to- the city, it was sadly
mistaken"

SPLENDID RESULTS AT THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH REVIVAL

The evangelistic meetings at the
First Christian church continue this
week with splendid results. There
are conversions at nearly every sen
vice. There was a largely attended
baptismal service ON Tuesday night,
and there will be another such to-
night.
DIR. Miller in spite of the fact that
he has suffered greatly from an at
tack of grip, is feeling better, and
last night preached another great
sermon on the plains of Ono" He
told his hearers that Nehemiah was
one of the greatest characters in the
Old Testament. He was not priest
or prophet in the full sense of these
terms, but he was consecrated lay
man who put the love of God and the
devotion for the Lords house above
all other interests. He was the cup
bearer to great king. This was a
position of honor and responsibility,
and yet the city of the great king
and its welfare was one passion OF
his soul. He secured the kings con
sent and protection while he return
ed to build up the wall which had
been thrown down. This whole story
was an allegory teaching us how we
should desire the rebuilding of the
temple four manhood which sir
has desecrated.
| Nehemiah's was not an easy task
There were enemies who thought t,
betray him, when this could not b,
done; they thought through sneer
to discourage him. When this faile,
they made demonstrations of force
but Nehemiah prayed to God an,
set a watch Then they invited hin
into the "P1ains of Ono'' to talk tn
matter over. But this noble soul sen
word back that he had a great worl
to do and had no time to stop to trea
with them. These hindrances wer
all 1ikened to those satan uses t,
prevent our doing the will of God.
Services this evening at 7.30.
