MR.. BAILEY TALKS ON FREIGHT
RATE DISCRIMINATION

Raleigh, Oct. THAT markets o1
the west are closed to Carolina oys
ter shippers and those of the east
closed to Carolina truck shippers by
reason of the appalling freight rate
determinations, is an interesting dis
covery made by j. w. Bailey, recent
candidate for governor who is now

portation Measure upon which the
voters are to pass in the coming eli
ection.
A Chesapeake Bay oyster shipper
Mr.. Bailey points out, can ship oys-
ters to Kansas City for II cents per
gallon less than his competitor in
North Carolina can ship them to the
same point-and this II cents is a
handicap the North Carolinian can
not overcome.
A California truck grower, for an
other example he declares, can ship
the great consuming markets of the
east for $1,000 car less than his
competitor in Eastern Carolina can
ship to the same markets.
Woodland & Co., Morehead City
shipped carload of oysters to Kan
sas City," Mr.. Bailey said. "they
found that the rate from Baltimore
was II cents a gallon less than from
Morehead City. This discrimination
against North Carolina oysters ac-
counts for the fact that nothwith-
standing we have abundant oyster
beds on our coast and extensive wa
ters in which to develop the industry
we can make no progress as compar-
ed with Virginia and Maryland oys-
ter shippers"
If North Carolina were on equal
footing with it's competitors we could
control the oyster market, Mr.. Bal
ley contends, citing the fact that the
North Carolina canned oyster put up
at Morehead City, determines the
price on the Pacific coast. This is be-
cause water transportation through
the Panama Canal, permits Morehead
City to compete on equal footing
with its rivals. Adequate port facili-
ties and water transportation, he is
convinced, will solve the states rate
problems.

tanned e real loss for he was one of

who lived above reproach-honest TO
a cent, broad in his vision, but alb

MRS. BINGHAM HOSTESS
TO WORTH WHILE CLUB

Mrs. R. L. Bingham entertained
the Worth While Club Friday Sept.
19. The house was tastily arranged
with autumn flowers.
During the short business meeting
many important items of business
were taken up and plans made for
future work. A round. table discuss
ion followed, subject: 'Remodeling
Clothing" This proved to be very in
teresting and many helpful and clever
suggestions were made along this line
When ideas became exhausted, the
hostess, assisted by Mrs. w. G. Hart
zog, served delicious refreshments.
Entertainment in the Bingham home
is always pleasant but never more
so than on this occasion.
On Friday Oct. 8 Mrs. j. B. Steele
entertained the Worth While Club.
Mrs. Bennet's return was welcomed
after an absence of several weeks
on account of illness. The study of
Acts was continued and Mrs. Ben
nets lesson on the Personality of
Satan was interesting and inst1uc-
tive. After the devotional a short
business meeting was conducted, sew
eral important items being discussed.
Much interest was shown in the faith
erless family discussed at the last
meeting of the club. Mrs. Bob Bing-
ham will receive any materials for
this family and see that it reaches
them. After the business the meet
ing was turned over to the hostess.
The subject for the afternoon was
Balanced School Lunches" Mrs.
Steele's talk on this subject was clear
and convincing. After this discussion
she served a model school lunch des-
tined to convince if there remained
any unconvinced that care, thought
and study of the school lunch would
insure results. Nor did she omit the
cup of hot chocolate designed to i'm
press the mothers how much more
the cold school lunch would be rel
ished by the children by the addition
of some hot drink.
The club feels indebted to Mrs.
Steele for this, unusual and very
pleasant entertainment.
The Club will meet October 18th
with Mrs. Hahn.

Autumn has come with bound in
this section. "After the September
gales were done with their equinoc-
tial fury" the weather cleared away
on the last of the month and on the
first of October came a freeze follow
ed on several mornings by white
frosts all of which seriously injured
the corn and other vegetation: 1t is
not thought that the fruit is yet Sc
riously injured. A week ago the hills
and mountains and valleys were a
dark rich green color with scarcely
a tinge of autumn in them but to-
day they are fast taking on the gor-
geous autumn colors so appealing to
many. And as to the tourists to whom
these wondrous scenes would appeal
they lose the most beautiful scenery
of the year by leaving the mountains
before the middle of October. The
rich brown chestnuts likewise that
tempt the little squirrel and the lit
tie children and likewise the older
ones offer their allurement at this
time Of the year to the great pleas
ure of many. No other season is so
gorgeous as this in the mountains
anu no other offers such wonderful
sunny days and beauteous moonlit
nights as this all of which are so
