- v -J The. tremendous productive ca
pacity of this country was f of ci
- bly brought to notice in the inter
view given out by President Sam
uel Spencer of the Southern Rail-
. way, at Washington, on Monday.
Mr.- Spencer was defining ,Presi
- -'- dent Eoosevelt 's rate regulation
- ' . speech at Raleigh, and stating the
" ease from the standpoint of the
4 railroads and. those who have
their capital invested in these
great enterprises he said :
S "The importance of this consid
- 'I ; eration. not onlv to the railways,
but the . shippers as well, can be
appreciated at this' time when
- there is a car shortage all over ous place in the prosperity proces
: the country, with freight conges- sion: The Tow.ces o the. .Tar

special dispatch sent from Chica

western railroads has , shown
no material improvement during
tne past week, and nearly all class-
es ot freight are moving subject
to delay. The great movement of
grain is mostly responsible for the

present state of affairs, and up to
tne present writing there appears
to be absolutely no relief in sight,
All of the various trunk lines

omcials say it is not at all prob-

cured between now and the time

goes a long way-toward showing

it is almost inconceivable what de

reference is made to aetivityv in

financial, commercial and agricul

CUBBENT COMMENT.
We heard of a farmer the other
day who brought his cotton to town
and was offered 10.05 cents for it He
refused because he said he could not
be a traitor to his association and sell
for less- than eleven cents. That's the
spirit. If all farmers will display the
spirit f this man they can get their
