Ways of Figaring Freight
Puzzle Mr. Taylor.
Charges
Mr. Jeff D. Taylor, who. as men
tioned in . The Robesonian recently
sold his larm near Lumberton and
purchased another farm near Empo
ria, Va., has had a practically demon
stration that he will not soon forget1
about the intricacies of inter-State
and intra-State freight charges. To
move his ;: stuff ' through to Emporia
the railroads wanted $153 and odd
cents; to haul the stuff to Pleasant
Hill, the last station in North Caro
lina, only ten -miles from Emporia,
the charge was only $59.74, and then
to haul it the other ten miles into Vir
ginia the charge- would be $62. Mr.
Taylor was plumb disgusted,' natural
ly, and vowed he'd, haul it the last
ten miles -himself, : rather than pay
more. for that 10-mile haul by rail
than the charge for all the way from
Lumberton to Pleasant' Hill. -Mr.
Taj lor spent . a few days here last
week looking after shipment of his
farm products. He says he does not
taj8tand the way of figuring freight
