There is in North Carolina such discrimination in favor of Virginia by the railroads as to freight rates that the whole state has become aroused. For years the friends of the railroads have called on them to be just to our people. No heed has been paid to the request. Re cently Chief Counsel, Thorn, of the Southern Railway, said defiantly that the rates now in existence would remain as they are. In a recent interview Chas. II. Ireland of the Odell Hardware Co., Greens boro, said: "Let me show you how this dis crimination operates against us. If I start a car load of, say hinges and butts, from New Britain, up in Connecticut, I will be giveu a rate of thirty cents to either Richmond or Lynchburg, in Virginia. But if this same car comes to Greensboro, only 115 miles from Lynchburg, I will be taxed at the rate of 88 cents, or nearly three times as much. Should the car, however, be intended for some lucky buyer in Louisville, down in the Blue Grass country, the rate would be 38 cents, or only five cents more for an extra run of about 500 miles. Sending the sa.ne car on to St. Louis, from New Britain, mind you, costs only thirty-eight cents." DR. P. L. MURPHY. The state loses one of its great men and one of the best of public servants in the death of Dr. Murphy Superintendent of the Western State Hospital for the insane. No more loyal, faithful or efficient public ser vant has lived in the state, so far as we know, at any time in the state's history.
