KORTH CAROL1NIA WINS
IN FREIGHT RATE FIGHT
RAYMI AM NEWS NOTES
Ji. C Jobbers and Wholesale Mer.
chan WiU Have Equal Chance
With Jobbers of Virginia Citie
The freight rate war between Vir
ginia and North Carolina cities, aris
ing out of the sentiment of the sen
sational clash between the railroads
and the Carolina State officials sev
eral years ago, was decided Thurs
day in favor of North Carolina when
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion handed down a decision, holding
as lawful and reasonable the new
freight tariffs from Middle West
gateways to the Tar-Heel State.
The effect of the decision as stat
a ;n a Wnshinton snecial to the
Wilmington Star, is to give North
Carolina jobbers and wholesale mer
iv.ti an pnnul chance with iobbers
of Richmond, Norfolk, Lynchburg,
Roanoke, Petersburg ana suiioik, w
Virginia cities, in the trade terri
tory of North Carolina, - when it
comes to freight rates. Under the
old tariffs, the 'class rates on flour
and kindred commodities from Louis
ville and Cincinnati, the Middle West
gateways to North Carolina cities
was a combination of the rate from
the Middle West gateways to the
Virginia cities plus the local rate
from the Virginia cities to North
Carolina. In other words, the first
class rate from Louisville and Cin-
cinnati to North Carolina cities was
93 cents, made up of the 32-cent rate
to the Virginia cities and 61-cent lo
cal rate from Virginia to North Car
olina. Under the new tariffs, the
new through rate from the Middle
West gateways to North Carolina
will be 82 cents, a reduction of 11
cents.
Under the old tariff, the Virginia
city jobbers boueht goods from the
Middle West manufacturers, and af
ter receiving them could re-ship the
commodities to various North Caro
lina retail towns at practically the
same freight rates which the North
Carolina jobbers had to pay on the
orierinal shipments from the West.
The North Carolina jobbers, there
fore, claimed thev were suffering
from a freight rate disadyantage
within their own State and declar
ed that it should, be removed. The
new tariffs, whic$ were put into ef
fect by the railroads at the sugges
tion of the North Carolina Corpora
tion Commission, give the North Car
olina jobbers class rates lower by

Importance of Systematic Study of
the Bible
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
The one indispensable book is the
Bible. It is God's literature and, as
such is essential. to the salvation and
civilization of the world. In this
age, when the Holy Scriptures are
obtainable at a price within the reach
of the poorest, it is certainly a per
sonal misfortune and almost a relig
ious crime hot to have read and dil
igently studied the divine work. Not
only is the Bible the Christian's text
book, but it is a mine illuminated by
God's holy spirit wherein may be
found, gems and jewels of untold
spiritual and moral wealth, no mat
ter how simple in minder humble
in station may be the person who
delves in it.
Again, it is a storehouse of relig
ious sustenance, a vast granary to
provide humanity : with Ithe true
breach of life and God has given the
keys of it to every man. Again, it
is a fountain of wisdom, ceaselessly
sending forth its waters of knowl
edge. And to the philosopher, the
poet, the statesman the educator,
and the citizen it is the guide to all
goodness and virtue. Assuredly,
whatever "else man can do without
in the way of literature he must have
the books in the world and despite
its sacred nature and its richness,
the Bible is the most carelessly read
and the most inefficiently studied.
Alas! that it should be said, it nev
ertheless is a fact that the great
bulk of Bible reading is without sys
tem or seriousness: that it is hap
hazard ; and that a vast amount of
spiritual profit is lost or overlook
ed, or let go to waste. Since we have
Vtie Bible, and it cannot be taken
away from us, the matter of chief
importance, then, is how to read and
study it to the best advantage. These
things we are commanded to do when
we are told to sear :h and understand
its "olden pages, and in this respect
the the "how" is next in important
ance to the "what". Indeed, the
greater the amount of deading with
out study the greater the amount of
spiritual loss. A very simple and
hoiriely illustration will prove this:
it would be foolish and senseless to
,:at two ! breakfasts. The result
would be a very bad case of indi-e-est'on,
since the stomach was made
to digest and assimilate but one
meal at a time. On the same basis,
the human mind rannot overload it
self . , It is true that ministers and
advanced students are sufficiently
familiar with th? Scriptures and the
concordance to handle them with
advantage; but it is not bo with the
general reader or the person who has
just come to a knowledge of what
serious Bibl-s study means. There
is, therefore, a very great need for
a first-class reference text-book on
the Bible a work that will give an
arrangement of Scripture by topics
and setting forth what God's word
says on any given subject. Such
a book cannot be a concordance, a
subject-index, a dictionary, or a cv
clop'dia as a whole; but it must par
take of the nature of all of these
and contain other analytical features
as well. Ltt me appeal to multitudes
of men, women and children to get
upon this Bibliothical train and take
a grand excursion on this railway
through the word the finest intel
lectual and spiritual route a mortal
can travel. While on the journey
take up your Bible with system; go
carefully and stop at every . station;
take in the surronndings and bear
ings of every truth, and, in like man
ner, from station to station until the
delightful trfp is ended.

Biliousness and Stomach Trouble
"Two years ago I" suffered from
freouent attacks of stomach trouble
and biliousness," writes Miss Emma
Verbryke, Lima, Ohio. "I could eat
very little food that agreed with me
and I became so dizzy and sick at
my stomach at times that I had to
take hold of something to keep from
falling. Seeing Chamberlain's Tab
lets advertised I decided to try them.
I improved rapidly." Obtainable ev-trywher.
THE SAME CAR FOR
LESS MONEY
"DEAR in mind that the Maxwell
M car has not been changed.
It is standardized. It will not
be changed except In minor
respects where we see oppor
tunities from time to time to
make refinements and additional
improvements.
The new price of $595 Is only
made possible-, by our greatly ,
increased production and the fact
that we specialize in only one
automobile.
Every Maxwell car is identically
the same as every other Maxwell
car.
Last year the Maxwell car rep
resented a big value. Many
thousands of satisfied Maxwell
owners are the evidence of that.
But this year at the reduced
price of $595 the Maxwell stands
out as the one big automobile
value of all time.
Nothing like it has ever been
offered for the money. -
Just consider, complete electri
cal equipment for starting and
lighting; speedometer; demount
able rims; one-man top; raln
vislon windshield ; and every
other device for the comfort and
convenience of the owner.'
-Every thing that the expensive
cars have. And good looks, com
fort and economy of operation
that some of the others haven't.
"There has been a nation-wide
demand for Maxwell cars at the
former price; there will be an over"
whelming demand for these cars
at the new price of $595.
And this proves that the Amer
ican public has admitted and
verified our unqualified claim
that the
