MERCHANTS MEET.
State Association of Retail Mer
chants at Greensboro.
FREIGHT RATES IN NORTH
CAROLINA DISCUSSED.
Enthusiasm At Kach Session Strong
Speeches By Men Who Have Studied
The Situation CloselyComparative
Figures.
The North Carolina Retail Mer
chants' Association was in session
at Greensboro last week. The meet
ings were marked by enthusiasm and
the topics discussed were of greatest
imporatance to the commercial pro
gress of the State. The Associa
tion convened Tuesday, Mayor,
Brandt extending a cordial welcome
to the members which represent the
State's most wide-awake merchants.
On the part of the local association
a welcome address was delivered by
H.C.Huntley. These were lespond
ed to by L. L. Leary, of Edentou.
The principle discussion by the
association was freight rates in
North Carolina. Speeches were
made by J. S. Manning, of Durham;
Speaker E. J. Justice, of Greens
boro, and State Senator J. Allen
Holt, of Oak Kidge.
MIL .MANNING' AMiKESS.
Mr. Manning spoke lirst. His
speech was broad and comprehen
sive. Referring to discriminating
rates he cited Yirgit.ia, the topogra
phy of which is about the same -di
North Carolina.
The mileage is almost 'he stnie,
yet the gross earnings of the roads
in Virginia in one year are $;!!, :5i;,
12!), as against $1 .;, ll4 heiv
showing that the low raU-s encourage
traflic. Virginia is building up a
big wholesale business because job
bers can ship to points in North
Carolina cheaper than a North Car
olina jobber can ship the same goods
to the same place. The rate from
Greensboro to Hamlet is 71.1 cents
on lirst-class freight- and from Kick
inoud to Hamlet (more than twice
the distance from Greensboro to
Hamlet) cents on the same class
of freight. Kate from Newberu to
Asheville is $1.35, and from Rich
mond to Asheville 84 cents. The
distance is the same. Eastern
North Carolina and Western North
Carolina cannot tiade with each
other, but both must buy out of the
state.
ME. E. .1. JUSTICE.
Mr. Justice made a number i f com
parisons of freight rates in this state
and Virginia, showing wherein
Greensboro pays a higher rate for
short hauls than many other states.
He said the next legislature should
increase penalties for demurrage
and fail"re to deliver cars on private
sidings 60 as to make it cheaper
for the railroads to obey the laws
than to violate them.
In closing he urged upon the
merchants the necessity of electiug
men who are not influenced by the
ailroads; not to nominate or elect
men to office who ride upon passes
or who were nominated in a conven
tion where a large per cent, of the
delegates rides on passes.
l'KOF. J. ALLEN HOLT.
Frof. J. Allen Holt spoke of he
change that has come over railroad
presidents. Instead of being so
reticent as formerly, they are going
about making speeches and trying to
oppose the righteous indignation of
a people who have been treated un
fairly. The speaker in closing urged the
merchants to keep up the fight; pub
lic sentiment is with them and they
are sure to win in the en J.
The Merchants Association will
meet at Charlotte next year. The
new officers elected are:
President, N. L. Crauford, Winston-Salem;
Vice-'resident, J. N.
McCauseland, Charlotte; General
Counsel, N. 11. Johnson, Raleigh;
Secretary, J. W. Carter. Winston
Salem; Treasurer, Aichibald Nic
hols, Asheville.
