Atlantic Coast Line and Norfolk & Western Roads For Al leged Dtscrtmlnatinos in Freight . Rates -A Citation of Numerous Examples of Excessive Freight Charges The Effeet on North Carolina Jobbers What Is Wanted . -An ' Interesting Statement . of Grievances, r -V'"'-. The Charlotte Retail Merchants; Association. through Its attorney, Mr. A: B. Justice, has filed with the .North Carolina corporatlQn commis- v sionme complaint in its rouen-iamea y of test case against those railroads which are charged with Improper discriminations and excessive charges , for shipments of freight to and from - Charlotte. The . "common carriers" .complained of are the Southern, Sea hoard, Atlantic Coast Line and Nor ' foHc & Western railroads. . The test case,, the complaint alleges, is made - in .behalf ''of citteena and otner per ' sons engaged In shipping and re. ceding freight at, and doing business in, cnariotte, w. c.' i , t s .4 The , complaint ; covers ' eight hlg , sheets of typewriter paper and con- ' sistg. "of sixteen separate and distinct ' sections.' ' Of the sixteen sections; eleven are devoted to specimen cases wherein Charlotte is discriminated against in favor of Lynchburg. Rich mond,, Atlanta and Norfolk, r The other five " sections consist ' of legal 1 , terms and technical details which ; are S of little general interest. , ; - The entire grievance Is summed up fn the first article of the last section, ' which declares ''that the aforesaid railroads haul- freight all the -way across the State of North Carolina , In 4 eve ry direction for lower ,t rates thanj they will stop- the same ship men is In the State, which dlscrlml - ' nat(ons and exorbitant charges make , . it Impossible to build up and develop ' the; commercial and manufacturing interests of the State." Furthermore, "that on account of the excessive charges ahovd referred to, Vthe Job ber of Virginia cities are enabled to deliver shipments' originally . hauled through North Carolina to points !h ? this: State for a lower price than tha l . Jobbers of our own State can afford to deliver such shipments for." ' , DISCRIMINATION ON ALL SIDES. , The a complaint cites " cases of .dls , 'crimination ih freight charges on goods shipped from Cincinnati, 'Grand Rapids, . Chattanooga, , Mem ' phisi Nashville,1 Atlanta. ' New Or ; - lean and Pltfeburg'.to , Charlotte as . compared with; the charges made on the ( same goods vshrpped from' these '' cltlH. to Lynchburg.1- The flour rate ; fro ija, Louisville "to Charlotte as com parea with tne- nour rate rrom Louis ville f d Richmond, Va.. is also" given." ,' A discriminating rate is shown be tween Charlotte and Wilmington as compared- -with the rate between 4 ' Charlotte and Norfolk. All are mani fest, easy of comprehension and. without apparent Justification. s, i An example Is the rate fronjt Chattanooga, Tenn., to Charlotte and - the rate from Chattanooga to Lynch-:, burg. The distance from Chatta ' nooga to Charlotte, by way of the. -... Southern, Is 399 miles; that to Lynch, burg via the Southern and Norfolk ' & Western, 448 miles. The rate -on furniture In carload lots to Charlotte la bi cents: mat to Lynchburg -B 4 cents. The rate for the longer haul is just about one-half of the rate ;. , for the short haul. ' s The comparative freight , ctfarges on classes of ireigittNOs,: l, 2, 3,,, 5 and from .'Louisville, Ky., i to Charlotte, a distance of 660 miles, and from Louisvillfc'. to Lynchburg,, v Va., a distance of miles, are- as v follows: $1 vs. 62 cents; 88 cents vs 53 1-2 cents; 63 cents vs. 40 1-2 cents; 45 cents vs. 28 cents and 34 , cents vs. is 1-2 cents. 1, ; 1 A GLARING 'XAMPLb! f ' A glaring example " is .1 that' tre sen ted by the comparative rate en - furniture between Atlanta,, '.0a., :, and, ijyncnDurg, ana Atlanta and Char lotte. The distance; from Atlanta to Charlotte, by way of the South em, is 268 miles, ahd . the rate 75 cents. The distance from Atlanta to Lynchburg, by way of the" South ern, through Charlotte, which is the most direct route, Is 475 miles. The ,, rate is only 41 cents. The New Orleans-Charlotte-Lynchburg case Is a bd one. The dis u" tanqg, from New Orleans to Char lotte is 785 miles, The distance to Lynchburg Is 990 miles. The'com r paratlve rates for the two cities on - coffee, molasses, sugar, rice, grain ana Dananas are: 40 cents vs. SO cents; 26 cents' vs. 47 cents; 32 cents vs. 48 cents; l cents. va, 48 cents: 37 cents vs. 44 cents, and 47 cents " . vs. 84 cents. Litariotte in each in stance, though 205 miles nearer, has to pay roucn tne greater rate. , me discrimination against Char lotte in favoB of both Lvnchbura- and . , AtlanU. is shown by the following examples: s - LYNCHBURG VS. CHARLOTTE : AND ATLANTA. . ,, . The distance from Pittsburg, Pa., ' to Lynchburg is 476 miles. The dis w tanca from Pittsburg to Charlotte is -.. 688 miles. The distanoe from Pitts burg to Atlanta is 951. miles.

Apropos of this, tha following sec tlon Is of Interest: "That North - Carolina has an excellent, harbor at Wilmington and If the rates to Vlr- - gtnla cities are defections of the water . rout0 : to Norfolk, then' tha aame reason;; exists for a deflection of the water route from Wilmington to Charlotte and other North Caro lina -townsJ'Vt : x- : '-'i The complaint also elates that tha few merchants who have attempted to do a Jobbing business In North - Carolina have been forced, by this irnnatBrarn-rt'-lllefrHlmate'cernpftl. tion, to' maintain warehouses for distrtbuttof . ipurposel 1ft Virginia cltieal v-S - ".-v T-, " ' "W'nerefoTe,,, conoludag tha com-1 I'aint, "tha complainant a '.3 that its grievancps be redressed by law, and that the freight rates between Charlotte and Northern, Western and Southern points outside of the State of North Carolina be' reduced to what is fair and equitable."

A Young Fellow Makes His Maiden Effort Before the Jury. "This was a trial In Unacol county, east Tennessee," said the lawyer, "and the indictment of defendant was for killing the prosecutor's hog. "The facts were that the prosecutor lived on the head of a stream, and the defendant lived about a mile or two lower down the stream, and, In the month of May the prosecutor's old sow got out and strayed off down the valley and got in the defendant's field and rooted up, his corn. The allegation was' that the defendant killed her," mangling her up pretty badly and cutting her up with knives. "A young barrister, named Smith, who had Just gotten his license, was employed to aid the solicitor In the prosecution. The case waa set for trail, and the ajtorney arose ami with a very solmen air, said: "'May It please your honor, and you. gentlemen of the Jury, since the days of the assassination of the la mented President of the United States, to-wlt, Abraham Lincoln, no such foul crime has stained our country's es cutcheon as the assassination of . Jack Edwards' black and white spotted sow. Gentlemen of the Jury, anJ may it please your honor, go with me to the place of the tragedy and contem plate the scene and the circumstances. On that lovely morning In May, when the earth was dressed In her robes Of green and the air filled 'With the smell of sweet-scented flowers and enlivened by the voice of merry song sters, as that old sow walked forth In her Innocerwe down that little stream, listening to the music of the waters, little did she dream that be fore the king of day hid himself be hind the western horizon she should become the victim of a foul assassin ation.'
