C. —All records bave been broken by the railways of the South in tbe movement Of the high tide of commerce that continues throughout the territory served by them, according to figures, covering the movement of cars of commercial freight loaded during the six weeks' period from July eleventh to August twenty-first, announced today by tbe Car Service Commission of the Amer ican Railroad Association. During each week of the ilx weeks' period there were loaded at stations on the railways of the South more cars of -commercial freight than were load ed during the corresponding week of either nineteen nineteen or nineteen eighteen. The total number of cars loaded during the six weeks this year was 796,897 aa against 716,294 for the same period In 1919 and 737,904 In 1918 when every nerve was strained to move the traffic incident to the war. During the week ended August twenty-first there were loaded 137,- 937 cars at stations on the railways of the South as against 126,997 cars for the same week in 1919 and 124,175 cars for the same week In 1918. During the first three weeks of 4agust this year the total number of How the H. C. L. Hits the Railways | In 1913 the Water vank shown herewith was Installed at Raleigh, N. C., by the Southern Railway at a coat of 4J.592.00. To construct a similar tank In 1920 would cost f5.400.00. In the same picture is shown a caboose which wss built In y>lS at a cost of 91,600.00. In 1920 tbe same caboose would cost (3,840.00. To the right of tbe caboose and just In front of the tank Is shown a two-armed mechanical signal tower which wae Installed in 1916. It cost (261.00 then, but to reproduce It in 1920 would cost 8850.00. RAR.WH WAGE UND RtTE INCREASES What Become* of the Revenue Do rived From Recent Advance In Railway Ratoa "*■ " ✓ Since the recent order of the Inter •tate Commerce Commission, author I ting the railways of the country to advance freight rates and passenger fares, came only a few days after the award of the Railway Labor Board, giving Increased wages to certain (Masses of railway labor, there haa been a tendency la some quarters to confuse the two. A few daya ago a Southern editor was asked: "If the railway employees receive an Increase In wages amounting to 9625,000,000 and rates are advanced so as to yield 91,(00,000,000.04 what becomes of the difference?" The difference goes to help the rall waya moot previous increases la wages which were granted by the United States Railroad Administration, to pay Increased prices for fuel, cross ties, bridge timber, steel rails and oth er material* of which the railways use large quantities and, after paying these Increased costs, to yield a fair return on the value of the railway property, devoted to transportation purposes. Such a return la absolute' ly necessary If the railways are to be able to attract new capital. This must be had to provide the additional facilities which are badly needed to couarty over, but particularly In the South where there haa been such a Treat Increase In commercial activity. The petition of the railways'for In 'creased rates was filed In May. long before the award of the Labor Board, and showed that at that time many railways were not earning their oper ating expenses. After the award of the Labor Board wax anouneed. the railways filed a s-pplemental petition j pxfelnx further Increases to aaeet the | additional «xt#n«e and the decision of i tV CommUf'on wm rendered after ' n.v*»»4nf frfftfi /.Mi*....:. ■ I. I I ' nil e cars loaded on the .railways of the South was 416,940 white during the last three weeks of July the numbec loaded was 878,487, showing an i» Increase of 88,483 or over 12,000 cart per week for August over July, Indi cating a progressive Improvement fof this week as well as Increases ovet last year and tbe year before. RAILROAOB ARE PAYING TREMENDOUS INCREASES FOR LABOR AND MATERIAL From 1910 to May, 1918, freight rates decreased 4 per cent. From May, 1918, to December. 1919, freight rates Increased 26 per cent. From December. 1914, to December, 1919,tbe coet of material, equipment, and labor used by railroads Increased tremendously. The following will il lustrate this fact: Per Cent M I k a d, o locomotives In creased in cost 181 Firty-ton box cars increased In cost A— l'l Steel tank cars Increased in cost l7l Steel rails, per ton, Increased In cost 61 Cross ties, per tie, increased In coet 101 Creosoted bridge material increased in cost .... 82 to 124 Cypress stringers Increased in cost lll Cypress lumber Incresaed in cost 156 Fuel Increased in cost 118 O th material Advanced during the 6-year period from 50 to 604 Labor increased in cost-. 42 to 149 ■yiat Blx Per Cent Return In many quarters there seems to re main some misunderstanding as to the provision of the Transportation Act of 1920 which makes It the duty of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion to authorise rates which will give the railways of each section of the country a fair return on the value of their property, devoted to transpor tation purposes, and, for the two years following the passage of the Act, set the "reasonable return" at 61-2 percent'with another 1-2 percent, to be devoted to improvements, at-the option of the Commission. Some persons have gotten the idea that the Tranportatlon Act guaran tees the railway companies six per cent on their stocks and bonds. The fact is that the Act says nothing about any return on capitalisation and no railway la guaranteed anything. The volume of stocks and bonds which any railway company may have outstand ing will have absolutely no effect on the return It will receive While the Act makes it the duty of the Commission titr authorise ratee which 'will give the railways of each section a* aggregate fair return on the aggregate value of their property, there Is no assurance that any Indi vidual raitlway will get a return of six percent on the valne of Ita prop erty, or any return at all. What R will get villi depend on the business It secures and the efficiency with which that business is handled. Under the new rates. If a railway earns more than six percent. It must 1d« the sarplus with the govern r meat: if It earns loss than ats pataaal r or nothing at aft. tu baa 401 an its awara, , Sate i ~V Sale Under Deed of Trust.

Iron Clears the Skin and Brings Positiye Benefit Quickly It is impossible to estimate the extent to which human ills and disease owe their origin to disordered and impure blood. Think of the various forrts of Kidney ailments that have their origin in diseased blood con ditions. And no one questions that Rheumatism starts in blood. ■ ' So it is important to watch the blood and to begin treatment at the first signs of disorder. By taking such troubles in time and through persistent attention, harmful results and much suffering can be avoided. Nearly everyone is familiar with the so-called blood disorders as evi denced by pimples, rash, itching, etc. It is not important whether these symptoms indicate eczema, saltrheum scrofula, etc., but it is vitally impera tive that the blood be given treatment to make it healthy. There ahould not be an instant'* delay in doing this. For Sale by All Good Druggists. Burwell & Dunn and John M. Scott &Co., Charlotte,N. C., " >. V .... • ' - - • t Distributors. , 1 .
