CAROLINA IMPORTS MAY BRING CAMPBELL’S HERE Discrimination in Freight Rates Keeps Soup Manufac turers Out "Three years ago Tanlao restored me to perfect health, with a gain of '5 pounds in weight and I've been feel ing fine ever since,'' said W. M. Eu bank. 200 Wall Street, Lynchburg, Va., popular floor manager of the Lynch burg City Market. "Flu and pneumonia left me so run down that I lost nearly three months from my work and was unfit to do anything. I had no appetite, what I did eat always caused gas to form on my stomach and I could1 hardly ever lie down at night without having aw ful suffocating spell®. I was also ex tremely nervous and often had- diary spells when everything would tuirn black before my eyes. “Tanlao has put me back on my feet In such fine shape.

Tanlac Vegetable Pills are Nature’s own remedy for constipation. For sale everywhere. The Carolina Import company, a looal concern. Is in receipt of a letter from Joseph Campbell, the manufacturer of Campbell’s soup, which elves the in formation as to why their shipments to thiB oity are limited and lower than they should be. The soup company makes it plain that U is on nooount of •higher freight rates here than at the other places which are used as Camp bell distributing points. Some time ago the local company wrote the Campbell company asking why less shipments were made to this point for distribution, and their reply <is indicative that if the existing freight rates were removed they may use this oity as a distributing point. A copy of the letter follows: "Answering your letter of June 27, we are still carrying your name on our distributors list as eur exolusive dis tributor in your oity, but we regret to advise that there is little or no pros pect of our being able to henoeforth divert our Carolina business from Wil mington, sinoe the direct freight rate from Philadelphia to this territory figures oheaper, also our freight rates from Norfolk would be oheaper thah from Wilmington; so we are now con fined to pooling shipments for distri bution in your city, which oars are few and far between.” The Carolina Import company in tends to take the matter up further and in the event that suitable freight' rates can be secured It is probable that Wilmington may be seleoted as dis tributing center for the Carolina dis tributing point for the Campbell soups.

CLYDE LINE TO GET ' TWO NEW STEAMSHIPS For New York-Charleston-Jack sonville Run—Local Line Not to be Effected ‘ M. M. RUey; local agent for the Clyde Steamship company, haa l>e«n Informed that his company Is adver tising for bide for the construction of two combination freight and passen ger steamers to operate on the New York-Charles ton-Jack-son ville run as soon as they ur® completed In the fall Of 1924. Although the two new ships are to I replace on the New York-Charleston*. Jacksonville run the steamers Apaohe and Arapahoe, It la not believed by Agent Riley that the two rrelght steam ers now operated on the New York Wllmlngton-Brunswlok run will In anyway be effected. In other wopjs i the buslnesf which, the Clyde Line would receive would not justify th# placing of passenger steamers on the local rup, said Mr. Riley, and there fore the local agent Is sure that the addition of more ships will not mean a ohange of vessels operated in and out of the port of Wilmington. The oomblned- passenger oarrytng oapaolty of the new ships will be 494 people. The speed of the new boats will he 15 knots, and the cost of each vessel Is estimated at approxi mately >2,000,000.
