Tourists often go completely around the bigger places when] they, know they will find good ac- j commodatloiiM in the smaller j ones. One factor in this, of course.

SHIPPERS READY TO WAGE WAR ON RATE INCREASES Elizabeth C.ity Member* of Euslrrn (Carolina Assofiu I inn Marshal Forces for Fight to Finish MAP OUT CAMI'AK.N AX ill Oppose Various Moves of Kailroads Be fore Inlei>lale ( jutiinerce Body; Lay Detailed 1*1 a n? Mill Stalling their forcen for de fensive measures uKainst a move by I li?* railroads for Increases In various freight rules in this ter ritory. Kliiabelh City shippers who are members of the Eastern Carolinu Wholesalers' and Manu facturers' Traffic Association held a conference Friday with W. L. Thornton, of Wilson, secretary of the iiKsoriation, in the course of which they mapped out. their gen eral line of campaign. A request bv the Atlantic Coast Line ltallrnad before a recent ses sion of the Interstate Commerce Commission In Kalamazoo, for an Increase In rates from this sec tion to Chicago. Cleveland and other Middle Western points in Central Freight Association ou ter ritory was among the principal items discussed. The Norfolk Southern Itullroad was not u parly to that move, but local shipper*, fearing that it might join the Coast Line in a subsequent appeal to the commission, took steps to pre sent their side of the argument. The Interstate Commerce Com mission denied the appeal of the railroad in the Kalamazoo hearing, holding that the road was not jus tified In the rate asked for, and suggesting another rate on a mile age basis. This, on the other hand, was not acceptable to the railroad, and the latter is said to be at work now to work out a compromise rato. The mileage basis Is opposed by local shippers on the ground that it tends to be discriminatory against them. Kliiabelh City shippers will ask that the Interstate Commerce Commission give this section com modity rates on truck and other products destined for points in this State and in South Carolina. Ceorgia and Florida. They point out that the Albemarlo District ships potatoes, for instance, later than these more southerly sec tions. and hold that this district might ship profitably to them with reasonable rates. A decision to ask also for an ex port rate to Key West. Florida, was Reached at the meeting. Steps were taken to combat a move on the part of the carriers for replacement of the recently re instated third class rate on soy bean harvesters by one and a half times the first class rate. Largely through the activity of the local Chamber of Commerce, the rate was reduced to Its present status from double first class, and har vester manufacturers here are concerned over the apparent pos sibility of losing the point gained. The shippers decided also to ask for a rate on five peck hampers, used In the shipment of May peas, beans and other vegetables grown In this territory, and pre pared to file a protett against a proposal by the railroads to in crease the tariffs on a number of vegetables.

The first summons came at 6:85 o'clock, just as the wind was gaining headway. This Initial chimney blaze was on Hell street. Two minute* later, a call came from box 73, on Hunter street. Fire Chief Flora went with IiIh men on this call, and they found plenty to do. They put out chimney fires at the hornet of Lucy Hond and Klixa Holding, and at 'the' store of Waiter Powell. All are colored. At 0:50. the department wan summoned by phono to put out u flue fire at tin* home of Defns Smith, on Queen street. The last call was received at 7 o'clock for a similar blaxe at the residence of David Cherry, on Cypress street.

There la no doubt that the minor ity party has used the investigat ing machinery of Congress for campaign purposes. Not only Is U Koo.i newspaper publicity, but i lie speeches and records of bear ings are printed and sent broad caat in the hope of Influencing the opinion uf the country. , And yt the money argument will hardly succeed as a barrier to investigations.

The Republicans appreciate tbut economy la a popular slogan and they hope that they can make investigation* unpopular by polnt ! inn to the cost thereof. Unfortu nately for the Republican side, (the Democrats are using another argument- -one which worked successfully In early 1024 when | they forced the resignations of ?Secretary Den by and Attorney [ General l>augheny. They are at tempting to prove that the De partment of Justice again cannot be depended upon to look after the interests of the people. They insist that In the aluminum case the Department of Justice has ; not done as much as It might. 'The Implication Is that Attorney General Sargent was too consider ate of high fellow Cabinet officer. Secretary Mellon, who Is one of i the largest stockholders In the aluminum company. The Democrats may tie Insist ing that they want an Investlga t Ion by Congress but nothing would suit them more than to have the Republican party use Its power In Congress to suppress the Inquiry. Tor then, they would contend that the administration was afraid of the disclosures. AnJ as for publicity, men like Senator Walsh of Montana do not need a committee hearing In order to de liver attacks that get Into the headlines. If the Inquiries are suppressed It will ineau that some unlmport 'ant and inoney-COnsumlnK Invest I gatlons will be eliminated hut oil the major Issue* the controversy will be transferred from commit tee room to the floor of the Sen ? te. So long as the right of vir tually unrestricted speechmaklng continues, the bombardment of an administration by political foes will continue. It will not be as easy to elicit fscts as when corn I mlltee hearings are under way and witnesses under osth. Hut the po litical ammunition will be there. And In some Instances the debate will grow to su<*h Intensity that the Senate will be compelled by publle opinion to order inquiries It Is. therefore, too early to say whether the defensive move of the Republicans to suppress Inquiries |H ? wine one. or whether It will In Itself prove s boomerang. If It does succeed. It will be hailed, by business men ss a precedent that may save thein millions of dollars In time In the next f*w 1 rwif*r . - ' ? 1 HART W.tft TKM-KR N. K.
