This number of trees was planted In six counties of western North Caro lina, and represents only the trees planted by the larger orchardlsts. . It wus Impossible for him to see or get in touch with every men at all Inter ested In orchards, and It is entirely possible that several thousand others were planted, of which he knows noth ing. This number, however, exceeas any for this period of time for west ern Noun Carolina, thus Indicating that the apple Industdy of the section Is receiving considerable Impetus. Col.

A large number of In terveners have Joined In the fight of the Greensboro firm, Including practi cally the entire furniture and other manufacturing Industrie of Greens boro, High Point and i many other points in the state. The petition, which was filed by United States Assistant Attorney Gen eral Wade Ellis, asks that relief be granted, and in addition prays for a refund of overcharge on all freight re ceived by the shippers within the past two years. It is estimated that this overcharge to the . Odell Hardware company alone will amount to over $75,000. . The long fight over the discrlmina- , tlon against the North Carolina ship pers In favor of -Virgrnla. berries' has reached a climax. The railroads' prom Ises to adjust rates, through a technl- "u ""eu . urran iimi. The Allegations. The petition directly alleges that ths system of making rates into North Carolina of adding excessive local rates of the Southern railway to the through charges up to the Virginia cities results in wholly depriving North Carolina of the benefit of Its advantages of location and natural re sources; that when North Carolina merchants attempt to sell In the mar kets of North and South Carolina, Georgia and other southern states, they have to pay the same rates as Lynchburg and other Virginia cities, notwithstanding they are located only half the distance between the Virginia cities and the southern markets, and that the entire burden of the com plaint Is really directed against the charges imposed by the Southern rail way from the Virginia cities Into North Carolina and beyond. Damages are prayed for on behalf of the Odell Hardware company on all It shipments Into Greensboro In the last two years, and specific relief la prayed for. Answers of the Southern railway and the other defendants will be filed In 2 days, and the case will then be set down for hearing, probably at vari ous places in North Carolina, Kate Adjustment Possible.
