P.y adequate adjustment is not meant a rearrangement of rates which will result in a loss to the railroads that they can not afford, nor one which will give to the people of this state a belter freight rate than those of other states now enjoy, but an adjust ment which will give N'orth Car olina an even break with other states in the handling of her own freight, in bound and out bound. Just a fair arrangement is all want. ; o . PRESIDENT AND HIS DAUGHTER HAVE NARROW ESCAPE Washington, D. C. April 22. President Wilson and his young est daughter.
