that Americus had been put on the
same rate basis by the Seaboard to
Texas points on car shipments as CO.
lumbus, a reduction from 78 cents
per hundred to ga cents having been
granted. The change was ordered by
B. C. Prince, freight traffic manager
of the Seaboard. Mr.. Prince is for
mer Americus man, having been
reared here. The telegram from Mr..
Cargill, Jr., stated that Mr.. Prince
not only had granted the decrease in
rate, but had promised to investigate
the rates to other points.
81 have long been interested in
the Importance of securing fair
freight rates for Americus if we
were to advance industrially," said
Mr.. Cargill yesterday, "and particu-
larly in my own business. Recently |
made an extensive western trip and
sold several car loads of Americus-
made syrup. Naturally, | was anxious
to obtain as advantageous freight
rates as possible, and when my son
was in the vicinity of Norfolk l sent
him word to see Mr.. Prince and call
his attention to the unfair difference
between our rate to Texas, where we
were making shipments, and that out
&c Columbus and other cities. The re-
suit was that Mr.. Prince saw the dis
advantage of our situation immedi-
ately and the unfairness of it, and
ordered the reduction, which amounts
to about 18 per cent"
