FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1913. FKEiUHT RATES OS NORTH WIKES BORO. A rain in North Wilkesboro Sat urday evening prevented an important meeting of business men. But how ever the meeting as planned resulted in throwing light on the considerable effect which unjust freight rates to this State praticularly effects the trading of this town. The railroads have consented to lowering rates on freight coming into the State but not on that going out. A meet ing is to be held in Raleigh today and every town was asked to send a representative who will likely urge that rates be reduced also on freight going out of the State. The business men here consider the present rates specially injurious to trade at this point, in opposition to which the merchants of North Wilkesboro have met the competition of prices on ba con and flour sold at lower prices out from Galax, Va., and hauled in to Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga in some instances. Some estimate that an equal showing with Virginia towns would result in extending a trade line ten miles farther northward for North Wilkesboro's business. It was hoped yesterday that at least one delegate would consent to go to the meeting at Raleigh from North Wilkesboro. OUTSIDERS WAIL OUR TROUBLES. Under the heading of "Better Train Needed" the Winston-Salem Journal identifies the causes of North Wilkes boro and Wilkes with their as being the same, and sets forth the following, According to the regular travel do we agree, that this railroad line would, with the proposed changes, be crowd ed even more with passengers, much more. Bui read what the Journal it3elf says: We believe that the Southern Rail way owes it to the people who reside at North Wilkesboro and Elkin and intermediate points along the line be tween this city and North Wilkesboro to give them a modern passenger train leaving North Wilkesboro in the morn ing, instead of the present obsolete mixed train. The section of country between Winston-Salem and Wilkes, itself, is one of the coming sections of the Stale. We doubt not but the figures will show that the number of passengers handled by the train at present will justify making it strictly a passenger traiu. And if the sched ule is changed, so that the train will leave North Wilkesboro later in the rooming as the people of that section desire it to, the passenger traffic will be greatly increased. Why shouldn't the Board of Trade of Winston-Salem join the people of North Wilkesboro and Elkin in their efforts to get this much-needed improvement in their railway service? THAT MID MUM SCHEDULE. Southern Railway Agent J. L. Clem ents here says that the new schedule of the Southern to this point out of Winston was not the voluntary doings of the Southern but that the Southern changed the schedule in answer to the demands to North Carolina's Corpora tion Commission. This being true, Winston must have petitioned the cor poration commission, who not knowing enough about the schedules effected, "plowed up more corn than weeds." The petition of citizens has been sent to the corporation commission and we'll see what we ehall see. The corporation commission ought to know what it is doing before it re quires the Southern or any railway to change its schedule to unnecessarily inconvenience the public. However, we believe that the whole matter will be adjusted in a short time as soon aa the corporation com mission learns all of the facts. A BIW COURT. Wilkes is having a whopping court. Between fifty and sixty cases were taken up from Monday afternoon of last week to last Friday morning. The court hasn't fooled away any time. It has been doing the business. Man's judgment of his fellows is necessarily slow and cautious when just and, with this, too, in view, the court of Wilkes has been a credit to its officials. Law yers have been, many cf them, hard worked. In the same length of time at August term of court last year, not near so many cases were disposed of. The difference approxi mating half. Judge C. C. Lyon was presiding at that term. A REAL MAN. The comments of the press of the State upon the life of Col. J. G. Hall, whose death occurred recently at tracts the attention of the beliefs of man. Such a man seldom passes. The Lenoir Topic says of him: "an untiring worker, he maintained a buoyant spirit even after his physical condition revealed a steady decline." Catholic Priest Phelan of Chicago, in protesting against the action of school committeemen in Charlotte, N. C, intimates, no doubt hastily, a very serious harge; and certainly lays a black crime at the doors of Chicago. There is no doubt whatever in our mind that Phelan is at least mistaken as to such charges per taining to citizens of North Carolina. The charge is as unfounded as some charges we've heard br Might against Catholics of today by Protestants based usually and originating in the hated history as recorded of the past doings of the Catholic church. We think the Biblical Recorder's comment admirable from its stand point. We will and tms: that if rhelan was in the fight hand to hand against the said vices in Chicago to honestly eradicate it, h should then, we say, be excused for such a hasty state ment. For he cannot injure the firm charter, which we presume the gentle men of Charlotte, possess. Excused by Chicogeans but not by Carolineans. The Lenoir News submits the fol lowing concerning facts as to the latest proposition of the railroads on freight rates: It is said that the reduction offered will average 20 per cent, and greater reductions are on the lower classes, which will be of considerable more advantage to the State, because of the fact that nearly all the traffic from the west is moved under the lower classes. Hay in less than car load lots is to be reduced $1.20 per ton, cr $12 on a carload. Grain and grain products are to have a reduc tion of four cents per hundred pounds, and on a car there will be a saving of $20. Under the reduced rates submitted, flour comes in for a re duction of eight cents per barrel in less than carload and in car lots the shipper will be saved $24 per car. We notice that United States Agri cultural department this year says that the average yield of wheat in North Carolina is 11.7 bushels per acre compared with 8.6 bushels per acre in 1912. The quality is consid ered ninety-five per centum compared with eighty-four last year. In the whole United States the proportion was nearly even sixteen this year and fifteen bushels per acre last year. It reports the condition of the apple crop August 1st, this year, fifty -two compared with sixty-five on the same date last year. Says the Yadkinville p3per: Some horse traders passed through here the other day and by misrepre senting their stock swindled one of our citizens out of a good mule. A warrent was sworn out for their arrest and the officers gave chase but failed to locate them. n is tnougnt that tbese same traders came to Wilkes court arriv ing in Wilkesboro Sunday morning about 11:30 over a week ago.

People here have been very much stirred up by tin appearance of two mad dogs, which have bitten a num ber of other dogs, and two persons of the near neighborhood. Crops are looking fine in this section of the country. Elkville is improving itself some. But we would be glad to see more and greater improvements, School opened at this place Monday of last week with a full attendance. Miss Nellie Shepherd has charge of the school. Miss Lila Jones, who has been very sick with typhoid, is fast growing strong and all her friends are glad to have her out again. Mr. Vance Wilson, of Nebo, has been look ing after business interests and visit ing friends about Elkville. Miss Daizy Church, of Adley, has been visiting Mrs. H. G. Minton and Mrs. R.D. Horton. Mr. Bill Setzer has moved here from Lenoir and put up a large black smith shop. Messrs. Conrad and Claud Yates, of Hopkins, visited at Shepherd's Heights this week. They were also out buying up fine yearling cattle. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hartley are away, Mrs. Hartley to "Clover Hill" while Mr. Hartley goes to Hickory for a few days on business. Elkville, N.

A telegram was receiyed here lad Tuesday evening announcing the death of Hon. John M. Brower at 7 o'clock Tuesday evening in a hospital at Paris, Texas, where he had gone for treat ment. The remains will be brought to Mt. Airy for interment and it is ex pected that the body will reach here some time Friday. No definite an nouncement as to the funeral can be made at this time, but it is probable that the interment will take place some time Saturday. John M. Brower had an eventful career. He was born in 1845, the son or Jacob W. Brower, and was therefore 68 years old. During the 70's, 80's and 90's, for 25 or 30 years, he was the leading spirit of this section of the State. He was a man of large business affairs, being an extensive farmer, merchant, and manufacturer, besides taking an active interest in politics and being a power in the political affairs of the state and nation. He had large hold ings in land and farmed on an exten sive scale. At one time he was the largest tobacco farmer in the state. He was largely engaged, too, in manu facturing enterprises. In addition to being extensively engaged in the man ufacture of tobacco here in Mt. Airy and in Danville, Va., he was engaged in the cotton mill business and the manufacture of shoes, lumber, besides numerous mills, corn and wheat, in different sections of tha country. For a number of years he was also engaged in the warehouse business here in Mt. Airy. He was a man of Quarts Nassn 65c 1-2 Gal.

In his earlier busi ness career his brother, T. M. Brower, who still lives here was associated with him in many of his business en terprises. A fact that the older citizens of Mt. Airy remember and that should be kept in mind by the younger generation, is that John M. Brower took a keen interest in the upbuilding of Mt. Airy. It was large ly through his influence and tireless energy that Mt. Airy was put in touch, by means of railroad, with the outside world. In politics he was a Republican and took an active interest in the political affairs of his county and state. In 1878 he was elected the state Senate from the senatorial district composed then of the counties of Surry and Yadkin, defeating Capt. Noah Foard of Elkin. Id 1886 he ran for Con gress against J. W. Reid of Rocking ham county and was elected. He was a candidate for Congress again in 1889, this time against J. T. More- head and was again elected. During his first term in Congress, though a strong Republican, he voted for the Mills bill, a bill introduced by (logger Q. Mills of Texas, a Democrat; this vote gave Mr. Brower great populari ty among the Democrats of the dis trict and enabled him to win an easy victory over his able competitor, Mr Morehead. In 1896 he was a candi date for Representative from Surry county in the General Assembly and was elected, defeating Virgil Holcomb who was the Democratic candidate, WILKES FAIR! Fair Association attraction for the ThiR term in the legislature practi cally ended his political career. His election to Congress from this dis tri t was regarded as a remarkable achievement, as the district was overwhelmingly Democratic. Kazers Get Cfl Lfgbt.
