Klshback, of this city, toitiiy supplied an Inter pretation of the "southern adjustment.' Jdr.

The reduction here shown In the rates from certain North Carolina points will reflect the changes In ratea that are to be made from other North Carolina points to points In South Carolina. The reductions are statewide, and will In varying amounts apply from the entire state of North Carolina, not only to points In South Carolina but to Ororgia, Alabama, Florida Mis sissippi and Tennessee, As Illustrating the removal of dis criminations which have for many years existed In favor of Richmond and Norfolk and other Virginia cities at the expense of North Curollna, the decision of (he commission requires the carriers to establish rates materially less between North Carolina and the southeast than between Virginia cities and the southeast, As illustrating the lower rates between North Carolina and the aoutheast than between Vlr ginla cities and the southeast, ratea rrom points like Raleigh and Greens boro to Atlanta, Oa are required to be made on first class freight 21 cents ess than Richmond and Norfolk; from points like Hamlet, Wadesboro, Max ton, Lexington, Salisbury and Statea- ville, to Atlatfta and vicinity, carriers are required to establish rates 29 cents ess than Richmond and Norfolk. To Eastern Points. From points such as Wilson, Hender son. Ooldsboro to Atlanta the ratea will be 13 centa less than from Rich mond and Norfolk. From such points In North Carolina as Charlotte to Atlanta the rates are required to be II cents less than from Richmond and Norfolk. The rates from Raleigh, Qoldsboro, Greensboro, Wilson, Durham, Hender son and Oreenvllle, and the same gen eral territory, to points like Albany, Ga.. and Jacksonville, Fla., are requir ed to be) 26 centa less than from Rich mond and, Norfolk. From Greensboro and that general territory to Nashville, Tenn., and a considerable section of Tennessee, the rates are to be made 15 centa less than from Richmond and Norfolk. The amounts that ratea between North Carolina and the southeast shall be less than between Virginia cities and the southeast vary with different parts of North Carolina and with the various sections of the south, being based under the order of the commts slon upon whether the mileage between North Carolina points and a particular section of the southeast is greatly leas or only slightly leas between North Carolina points and points In the southeast than the distance between Virginia cities and the same points in the southeast. ' . Substantial Reductions. Summing up, the decision of the com mission as to the rates between North Carolina and the southeast, it may be said that the reductions in the rates are very substantial from practically all points In North Carolina, and that nstead of North Carolina being charg ed rates as high or higher than the Virginia cities to or from points In the southeast, the new rates will In prac tically all Instances, and on all classes of freight,' be lower than Virginia cities. The amounts that the ratea be tween North Carolina and the south eaat are to be made less than between Virginia and the southeast. Including Tennessee, range from 41 cents down to 4 cents. Hut for short hauls like from the southern part of North Caro Una across to South Carolina. the rales will be made on the basis of mileage scale, as much as 75 cents per 100 pounds leas than the Norfolk and Richmond rates. As a result of apply Ing the mileage scale instead of the group rates, traffic between very numerous feints In. North Carolina and points in Month Carolina and Tennessee will be 60 cants to 7 cents lower than the Norfolk and Richmond rates. Such radical changes . in rates shown by the above Illustrations will show the extent of the victory which the state has won in the southern ad justment. The reductions In rates and removal of discriminations in favor of Virginia, cltlea with respect to the rates between the eaat and North Carolina have already been explained In the former dispatch. All Classes of Frelakt. The great majority of cases before the Interstate Commerce commission involve only rates on a single com modity and between a single point of origin and In moat cases but a single point of destination, others Involve but a few points of destination or a small section. Here In the North Carolina cases were Involved rates on all classes of freight, of every description, both to and from the entire eastern section. 'including all of the eastern purts, and the state of North Caroline, and also the rales on every description nf freight between North Carolina and all of the southern atntes east of the Mississippi river, excepting the states of Kentucky and Virginia.
