The North Carolina classification at this time consists of descriptions and ratings published by the North Caro-r iina corporation commission on a large number of important articles of pro duction, manufacture and distribution in this state, winch we publish as ex ceptions to southern classification, and soon all other articles soutnern classi fication applies, the classification hav- ir.s been converted into- this form in 1?14, prior to which time a distinctive-. It state classification was in effect. 'Reference to testimony of the rate clerk, W: G. Womble, will show at a jlance the disastrous effect that the cancellation of these ratings would have upon production, manufacture ltd distribution in this State. The specific articles shown in this exhibit are the more important ones, but only j few of many, and show that such naming increases wouia result mat we must necessarily anticipate that so one would undertake, to put them to effect without having unquestion- authority so to do ,and without ring made such exhaustive investi- tion as to be assured of its absolute stification upon all the merits . and eisential elements of the case. Waiving, for the immediate argu ment, all questions of jurisdiction, we abmit that no finding can be made. pon the testimony presented, to cancel ese ratings without doing violence the principles of rate construction hat have found unanimous approval all the courts o fthe land, includ- s the United States supreme court, ad by all the commissions of the untry, including the interstate corn- free commission. Rates are to be lade that will yield a fair return upon the property devoted to .the rendering the service. Questions of specific authority would be superfluous. Grif- exhibit Xo. 3 shows a superior con on of operating revenues of the stem lines operating in North Caro- a and throughout the south, com pared with the best system lines in e most congested freight -districts the country, while Griffin exhibit V 2 shows a surprisingly better con- t'.on of earnings on the North Caro- m portions of the lines operating North Carolina and throughouWthe south operating on these rates "Un Mirth Carolina than is shown for their Tstem operations.

In fact, sta tistics show that five out of every sfx in the army suffering with the disease at this time carried it with tlvem' when they were taken from their civil pur suits. ' With these facts at hand the Unitetf States public health service has deter mined to "finish the fight" by making war on this disease at home. Through aft advertising campaign the health service expects tovcarry to every com munity a true statement of the condi tions.' The department is not only go ing to enlighten the people but it pro poses to cure the sick. Ueut. A. W. Fuchs, of the service, who has been stationed here for sev eral months, has received advance no tice of what is to be done; Literature will , be forward him which he will have distributed broadcast. Lieuten ant Fuchs stated that the department is going to spend a vast sum of money in advertising-before the treatment is undertaken on a large scale as the people must be acquainted with the facts before a successful co-operation with the department can be had. The following is taken from a pamphlet just issued by the department: "Because civilian communities had been afraid to attack tlie problems of venereal disease, the army and navy were greatly handicapped throughout the war. They had to divert, much of their energy into a fight against the menace while they were training their men to fight the enemy in -Europe. 'But we in civil communities were responsible; we always were. With a great war upon us, we came to the aid of the army and made a vigorous attack on these diseases. Now that the war in Europe is over, shall we finish the fight at home against the venereal menace?" The United States public health ser vice, through the state department, has made a proposition to local author ities to supply half of the funds and all the medicine for the establishment and maintenance of a clinic for the treatment , of the disease in Wilming ton. It is estimated that it will cost about $1,500 to carry on the work dur ing the year, which is in addition to the .medicine. If the local authorities will raise $750 the other will be forthcoming. Passed By Sentry. A colonel of a colored regiment com ing in about 10:30 was duly Challeng ed by the sentry, and responded: "Colonel! , officer of;.the camp."' The sentry tried his besVto pierce the darkness, gave it up, and finally said: "Look 'eah, man, yo-all ah de- foth man what's done tried to make me think he's cunnel Go away wid dat stuff." The colonel pretty warmly reaffirnr ed that he was Colonel and de manded immediate - admission. The guard, unabashed, told him to tep up so that he could -see him. The colonel walkedup to him in a rage, and you can imagine his consternation when the sentry took hold of the Bilver eagle on his shoulder, looked up at him with a grin on his face and said: "Oh. Lawsy! 'Tis de ole bird, ain't it? The Bayonet. COMMITTEE ISSUES EAIR PRICE LIST ' (Continued From Page Five). ( better price than that actually paid by the retailer. The food administration does not re quire a complete set of double prices for "cost and carry" purchases and for "charge or delivery" purchases. "Where "cost and carry" prices only are used in a store, no charges for delivertes are required to be made, and 'where it is the wish of the retailer to have a "charge or delivery" price he need not maintain a set of "cost and carry" prices, but may offer five per cent flat discount from "charge or delivery" prices for "cash and carry'-' purchases. . The following fair price list does not, include prices on meats. A later list will be issued' for the benefit of the meat dealers.

' '-'pn numerous occasions in the past attempts have been made locally to organize an Automobile club, but with little or no success. Lack of interest by owners of automobiles has always been the direct cause of failure, possi bly due to the ignorance of just what benefits are to be derived from . being a, member ef such an organization. . It may be interesting to the local owners to know , that Wilmington is possibly the only city of its size in tbe entire country that is without suoh an organization, consequently local owners a.re without a direct represen tation in matters appertaining to the many different laws and-proposed laws ;and ordinances that will affect them in the future, both as. to their purse and welfare. , Traffk;laws are needed locally; good roads -are "heeded throughout the state; greatly appreciated. If anyone desired to Join the organization, merely to be come affiliated with this club and the state association and the American Automobile association, then your membership Is desired.
