TRINITY GUILFORD GAME.
A Writer Slakes Some Observa
tions Suggested Thereby.
To the Editor of The Telegram:
Here are two items which tell their
own story:
1. (From the preamble to the resolu
tion passed and published by Guil
ford College Atheletic Association.)
"Whereas, since our games with Oak
Ridge Institute have not resulted in
the same pleasant way that has char
acterized games with ohre institu
tions, etc."
2. (From the Greensboro Telegram's
report of the game between Guilford
and one of the "other institutions"
April 9th.)
"It is a pity that the disagreements
which are fast going to make such
contests unpopular were there in such
large numbers. Tfher dispute
resulted in a long delay and
left the field and part of the players
dressed".
Mr. Editor, in the series of resolu
tions of which the above is a part as
quoted from memory there was an ef
fort on the part of Guilford College
to throw blame upon Oak Ridge as
being contentious. Whenever such
effort is made by one institution Vj
throw obloquy upon another something
is sure to happen to set things right
before the public.
The games Oak Ridge has played at
Greensboro and elsewhere with other
teams, and with Guilford with one or
two exceptions, have been unusually
pleasant and free from contentions,
and unpleasantness. I do not recall
a single game with Horner, Trinity,
A. & M. College,, Davidson, Bingham,
the University or Wake Forest that
was attended with anything unpleasant
Oak Ridge has never taken its team
off of any field, though I do not say
that there are not times when such
things are justifiable. Where there is
a, dispute the public cannot always
locate the : blames for the-trouble and
generally It is immaterial to it.-
May I be allowed, however; to say
that games are now much freer from
I disputes and delays than formerly and
that the quotation from the Telegra'm
is in this regard misleading. The new
lorth Carolina Association rules
if strictely carried out, wold leave
little room for captious or other cri
ticism. The: umpire by those rules
must be disinterested and his decisions
should be sharp and" final.

Fearful Mine Disaster.
Buena Vista, Cal.,April 13. It is
feared the death list resulting from the
great avalanche at Taylor Park, will
reach two hundred. The fecene of dis
aster is forty miles from here. Details
are meagre. The avalanche came
down the Italian mountain, carrying
everything before it. In mines on
the mountain side three hundred min
ers were employed att he time. Their
shaties were directly in the avalanche's
path and were swept away.

Lost Gold Found.
Bremen, April 13 The mystery of
the theft of sixty thousand dollars in
gold bars from the specie room of the
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse,
was solved by the discovery of gold
hidden away in the second cabin of the
state room by the ships cleaners. The
thieves evidently intended to remove
the booty at a later time.

ceived a telegram to meet train No.

INJUSTICE III RAILROAD RATES
WRITER MAKES OtJT A. CASE
WHERE THIS CITY -IS HURT.
Charlotte is Able to Buy in Baltimore.
Ship to Charlotte and BacK to Greens
boro and Sell HereCheaper Than Greens
boro Can Buy at the Sause Prlc in Balti
more, Ship Direct Here and Sell.
To the Editor of the Telegram:
Seeing Mr. C. W. Jennlngs.our whole-
sale fruit dealer, selling large quanti
ties of bananas at auction today, an
inquiry as to the reasoBLitheref or diet
ed the following facts which the people
of Greensboro may wel take to heart:
For a long time Mn Jennings has
pleaded with the railroad company for
a reasonable rate on bananas from un
loading ports to Greensboro, but each
appeal seemed only to draw the screw
tighter. It was, however, revealed
that by shipping to Richmond, Va.,'
form Baltimore and re-snipping to
Greensboro there would be a saving of
$18.00 on a minimum car load, and Mr.
Jennings ordered the next ear-that way
but the reply came that it was against .
the ruling of the railroad companies
to allow that and he had to pay $128
on 20,000 pounds from Baltimore to
Greensboro as usual, or $77 on 10,000
pounds. ,
Thesee rates enabled Charlotte, N.
C. to buy in Baltimore at same price,
ship to Charlotte and back to Greens
boro and sell for less money than they
could be sold.shipped direct from Bal
timore to Greensboro, and Mr. Jen
nings was told by the Charlotte ship
per that they enjoyed a rate of 56c per
hundred pounds, while Greensboro has
had to pay 64 per hundred pounds for
more than two years. He also demon
strated that he could ship 106 bunches
In a car without packing at a local rate
class number 2. Whila Greensboro
has been compelled to pack as many as
200 bunches all going in on car;' to
one firm 7frbnl Green si?JU;JCt5r W37
ton, N. C., and compelled to -pack 1Q0,
bunches for Higli Point or ! pay : 1
first class freight.
Charlotte, NV C, taking advantage
of the great favors shown them on the
close iron clad rules thrown 'around
Greensboro has been enabled, more
than once to flood our market "with
their surplus by making Greensboro a
dumping ground, and today Mr. Jen
nings is forced to sacrifice his stock
at auction because one of
these unsuspected' shipment?
dropped in Just as he had PTQparsd
ripe stock to supply the. markets usual
demand.
It is further more' developed that
when Mr.-Chralottedealer was found
to be peddling his bananas around
town that he was called on for license
by the city authorities of Greensboro
and he took refuge under license ot a
retail fruit dealer and candy dealer,
while he sold his goods from a very
different part of town from which the
fruit dealer's store stood, and a large
portion Of the banana Were' Sold fey
peddling around the town which calls
for a specified license of about $100.
If goods can be sold that way v why
not let Jennings or any other man take
license out for doing buisness in
Greensboro and all dealers sell under
his license. It looks like any officer, of
the city of Greensboro could see that
such a precedent would work disas
ter to the municipal treasury of
Greensboro. A merchant pays his li
cense for protection, and under these
circumstances he does not. get pro
tectionthen why have any license at
all? The above are facts which Mr.
C. W. Jennings is able to substantiate.
