ENTIRE RECORD A BIG ONE Representatives of Virginia Cities Charged That Proposed Reduction Would Give North Carolina Cities Advantage. Greensboro. The hearing on the petition of the carriers to put into effect the new freight rates in North Carolina and the intervening petition of Virginia cities against it was con- eluded before Chairman Edgar E. Clark of the Interstate Commerce Commission recently. Three days had been consumed in the examination of witnesses and the introduction of vol- minous exhibits. The entire road will be a big one and it will take the commission some time to go Into it. The impression prevails that a temporary order will be made by the commission permit ting the rates to go into effect, and, if upon examination of the record the. commission is or tne opinion tnai me rates are unfair to other points, the temporary order will be revoked. At ter the hearing members of the State Corporation Commission, other rep resentatives of the state, the carriers and shippers feel confident that the ultimate result will favor North Car olina. Chairman Clark, representatives of the Virginia cities and the Carolina of ficers left for their homes. The atti tude of Chairman Clark, who is from S, .SSi omr " was fair to all parties, but several expressions in dicated that he believes in giving ef fect to agreements between railroads and shippers that reduce rates. At the opening of the morning's ses sion Mr. James, attorney for the Vir ginia cities, recalled E. E. Williamson, at arte expert of Washington, who tes- HflaA fnr the Intervfinnrs. He was cross-examined by Mr. Travis, Mr. For ester and others. He was the princi- pal witness for the Virginia cities. He showed a thorough familiarity with rates and rate structures. Following the examination of Mr. "Williamson one or two witnesses were re-called and at 1 o'clock the hearing was adjourned. All parties were giv- en until January 15 to file briefs Ships Car Load of Eggs. Hickory .-The first solid carload of eggs to New York City was shipped by Catawba Creamery recently.

Financial Stability. Prepare For Torrense System. Raleigh. ' Shelby v On of the best meetings in the history of the Farmers' Union of North Carolina concluded its ses sion here recently. Since the last 'meeting three new county unions have been organized, leaving only nine of the 100 counties having no local unions. The state treasury is in bet ter conditions by $3,000 than a year ago, and the business enterprises of the unions are doing more business and .are on a better basis than ever before. The main features of the session were the passage of a number of im portant resolutions and the election of officers for the ensuing year. " The old officers, with the exception of the Ex ecutive Committee, were re-elected as follows: President, H. Q. Alexander; vice president, J. M. Templeton; state lecturer and secretary, K. C. Faires. The" Executive Committee consists of C. C. Wright of Wilkes, W. B. Gibson, of Iredell and W. H.

Perhaps the most important action taken in the session was the unani mous endorsement of the proposition of a law allowing neighborhoods where most of the land is owned by one race to say by a vote of the majority of the qualified voters that in future no land should be sold to a person of the opposite race, provided the action is approved by a reviewing judge or board or county commissioners, as be ing necessary to their peace and safe ty. The preamble recites "That th crowding of undesirable negroes in white communities makes social con ditions intolerable for white woman and families, lowers land values own ed by white people and often drives white families to other sections The .u.uuu w uoub. mlAm& Ui l"c ia.,co " fcicai.- est menace to the supremacy of the .white race and demands drastic leg islation on this subject. The Attorney General is requested to prepare the necessary blanks and circulars of instructions for having the clerks of the court put the Tor rens system of registaring land titles immediately into force when the law becomes effective January 1 and the clerks of the court are requested to. appoint examiners of titles at once. Another resolution asks the Secre tary of the treasury to extend the time fo rhis crop loans until March 1. The idea of having "Civil Service Week" set apart by the Governor next November was unanimously endorsed as was also a movement for getting th heads of the various state institu tions and, departments together to de vise plans for more effective co-operation. North Carolina Republican Delegates. Special from Washington says the final action of the Republican Nation al Committee, providing that any con gressional district that cast as many as 7,500 Republican votes in 1908, or will cast that many in 1914 will give North Carolina 21 delegates in the next National Convention, unless the First, Second and Sixth Districts im prove on their votes of 1908. That year Isaac M. Meekins received 5,342; McM. Ferguson, 3,361, and A. H. Slo- cum, 6,385.. The Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth will have two delegates each, and the First, Second and Sixth, one each. North Carolina had 24 delegates last year. Kinston Merchants Form Branch. A branch of the Kinston Merchants' Association, one of the livest business men's organizations in east Carolina, will be organized at LaGrange. The preliminaries to the forming bf the branch were arranged by President H. E. Moseley and a committee of Kinston merchants. The LaGrange hranrh win he affiliated with the loca association. The Kinston organization now has members in Lneoir, Pitt, Wayne, Onslow, Jones and Greene I - Counties, and has the most complete credit rating lists in the state. No Investigation of Peanut Trust. There is to be no investigation by the the Department of Justice into the operations of the so-called peanut trust. Agents of the Department have been at work fcr the past month in vestigating comi-daints filed by peanut growers in North Carolina and VIi- ginia to the effect that the trust had cornered the market on peanuts and was fixing the price of this commodity. These Agents have reported to Attor ney General McReynoldsi that they have been unable to discover the ex. istence of such a trust. Industrial Growth Substantial. The annual report of the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, just out, shows some astonishing figures for North Carolina. The corporation tax, which for the Nation is $6,776,583.69, in excess of the highest corporation tax assessed during any previous year, increased rapidly in North Carolina. The figures for the fourth and fifth districts of North Carolina for total net income, upon which a tax of one perl cent is levied, are: For 191, aonity and experience, the committee fourth district, $1,424,073.3, and fifth being composed of: Mr. J. H. Dreven district, $1,016,782.75. stadt of Buffalo, who formerly judged In 1913 the net income figures jumped up as follows: Fourth dis- trict, $5,337,663.37, and fifth district, $1,159,936.05., The number of returns for the same districts for the two years were: 1912, 818 and 200 and 1913, 1,340 and 203. The capital stock of the corpora tions taxed increased as follows : From $14,197,392.58 and $8,849,157.08 in 1912, to $45,915,600.96 and $9,179,632. 67 in 1913. These . figures indicate tnat iNortn Carolina is growing substantially in. The report issued by Col. W. H. Osborn, as Commissioner of Internal Revenue, vhas some interesting fea- tures for North Carolina.' The most remarkable thing in the entire report is the growth of North Carolina corporations wnicn pay a tax to Uncle Sam. The report shows a decline in the number of moonshiners pursued. Oleomargarine manufacturers will be interested in the recommendations of the Commissioner. The two North Carolina collection districts paid in taxes last year as follows: The western district, $5,25$;,- Cup for the best cock in the show goes recting and operating.

The board of county commissioners having at its meeting here recently in this month voted to discontinue the appropriation of $369 a year for farm demonstration work in Davidson coun- ty, H. B. Varner, In a signed statement set in blackface tvDe on the front Daee , of his paper; The Dispatch says: "Realizing the importance of the no-onerative farm demonstration work to all the people of Davidson county, and feeling a personal interest in the prosperity and happiness of every man, woman and child in this good county, i nereoy guarantee $auu, or more, it necessary, to carry on this work for 1914 in co-operation with the State and National Governments. This should be appropriated out of the Wi.6w.6v wnicn tne people or tne county pay in taxes annually, but since tne county commissioners nave refused to do this, the necesary funds will be contributed by The Dispatch and progressive citizens who love the county ana want to see it go iorwara and upward and stand in the forefront with the other progressive counties of the state." E. J. Justice Is Now Busy. A copy of The San Francisco Chronicle received here shows that E. J. Justice, recently appointed as as- sistant to the Attorney General of the United States, is engaged in the pros- ecution of important suits brought by the Government to recover valuable mineral and oil lands from the South ern Pacific Railway Company and oth er allied interests. This work will probably consume most of his time for several months. Vote Bonds For Railroad. A bond issue of $40,000 to build a railroad from Shelby to Casar, in up per Cleveland carried in the Casar railroad district by 192' majority. An election on a $40,000 bond issue for good roads in No. 3 Township failec" by a slight margin. Dinner For Newspaper Jn.

First in this state to put into effect suggestions offered by the North Car olina members of the Special Commis sion which last summer visited Eu rope to inspect rural credit systems there, Catawba county has practically completed the organization of a rural credit association modeled after the building and loan plan, along the lines proposed by the commission. The of fice of the association, which will be known as the Catawba County Rural Credit Association, will be located at Hickory.

We have nre- sented the strength and weakness. victory and defeats, of four, Moses, Aaron, Miriam, and Joshua. Israel's History. The first of the scripture passages nresented for the day's reading lesson contains the farewell discourse of Joshua. In. it he surveys Israel's hls- torv from the days of Terah to the moment they possessed Canaan, em- phasizing that in it all God was di- to put away all other Gods. The al- ternative is, that with such evidence before their eyes, if it seemed evil to serve Jehovah, they had choice be- tween the gods their fathers aban- doned beyond the river and those they had found In the land. As for him self his choice was made, "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." After repeated declarations of fealty on their part Joshua, entered Into a covenant with them that they were to serve Jehovah. The passage from. Hebrews ought to begin at verse thirty. Moses leads out of Egypt (a type of sin), through the wilderness ex periences, but could not lead them into the land; Joshua took up the work where Moses left off and led them into the promised possession; but be was not able to lead them into that perfect rest which only cornea from a perfect conformity to the will of God. The message of the Book of Hebrews is that of the son who fulfills all that these great leaders of the past failed to do. He leads from bondage into possession and on to the final rest which remains for the peo ple of God. Recapitulation. Omitting the temperance lesson (Nov. 9) six of these lessons deal with Moses as the leader, and in five W6 have Joshua as the leader of Is- rael. I. Under Moses' Leadership. Lesson I.

The final word, he fruit and flower of this new na- tlon js epitomized in this the sim- pieBt, yet the most sublime language or the New Testament. What Mosea and Joshua did in type and what they each ieft not being able to accom- in abundant measure. The widest stretch of human imagination cannot mpasurp the breadth of his love. The - deepest depths cannot fathom the aw fnj woe of unbeliever.
