FREIGHT CHARGES
 70 PER CENT LESS
 BY WATER ROUTE
Self-PropeIIer Birmingham" Brings Large Cargo of Mer- chandise to the Port of
 Birmingham
May sound strange, but it is so.

May sound strange, put It IS so.
 Self-propeller Birmingham is on her way to Port of Cordova with merchan- disc cargo from New Orleans, portion of which is a consignment of sugar for an Atlanta firm.
 This sugar will be transferred at Cor dova to the Frisco and by the Frisco to the Southern for transportation to At lanta by rail. When the sugar is fin ally delivered to the consignee in the Gate City his freight bill will be 20 per cent less than had the sugar come di- rect from New Orleans by rail.
 Atlanta is in the territory that en- joys 20 per cent freight rate differ ential for shipment via the Warrior river. The current movement of sugar is the first try-out of this rate.
 Gadsden firm of wholesale grocers has a large consignment of rice coming up from New Orleans on the Birming- ham, and this firm also will pay a freight rate 20 per cent under the rate had the shipment been all-rail from the Crescent City.
 Tuscaloosa, which is on the river Is getting merchandise by the Birming- ham and Birmingham merchants are getting su gar, coffee and rice. Several local merchants will also receive con signments of window shades. The ship ment of window shades and such fla brics is enabled by the covered matches of the self-propeller and also by the weatherproof steel containers used for general merchandise movements.
 This is the second trip of the Bir- mingham up river and the management is well pleased with having secured a chance at Atlanta business so early in the game. General merchandise freight was not solicited until the self-propel- Ter with it's covered hatches was on the river.
 With Atlanta and Gadsden breaking the ice, extension of the territory used by the Warrior and enjoying it's differ entials is now confidently looked for.
