 his home.
 i The body of Chris Maju, an old time fisherman and logger in the Tenakee district, was found on the
 beach near Tenakee recently, death having been caused by a gun-shot, and as there was no weapon near the body, it could not have been a case of suicide.

Prior to Federal control In 1915,
the class rates had been operative
approximately thirty years. Then
Director-General McAdoo increased
them 20 per cent as n war measure.
TWO years later, on August lG, 1920,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
authorized another % per cent in
crease. which superimposcd upon the
initial levy made astotal percentage
increase of 56 per cent. Shippers
voiced no complaint nor objection at
this time. Application Of the tariffs
allowed by the Commission ycster-
day. now raises the total percentage
increase from sc to 105 per cent. ac-
cording TO calculations of the Rich

In view of this the local Chamber
and similar organizations in Peters

aud Suffolk presented petitions in
January requesting the Interstate
Commerce Commission suspend the
increased rates to Carolina points

considerable speculation as to whether
there could be any possible connection
between the Lampitt affair and the
death of Wilcox.
There is no evidence to indicate
any foul play, and the general. opinion

tend that as he was going up hill, II

inquest was Sheriff Miller who was
the man who arrested Lampitt and
who happens to be a close friend of
the deceased. Miller said that VIII
cox had never had any heart trouble
and was not subject to fainting spells.
However, al the inquest, DR.. True

Company at Grass Creek was also a
