As an example of how freight discrimination against Greensboro works, the case of flour mills could be cited. Although in the past ten years several roller mills have been established here, there is one running now, that ot W. A. Wat son .ft Co., who have held on tor 14 years. This mill consumes 50,000 bushels of wheat per annum, but can not enlarge the territory of its ship ments because the Southern railway's freieht rates are so adjusted as not to permit shipments to points beyond 50 miles of Greensboro, where Lynch burg and Danville, Richmond and Nor folk compete. Owing to this only ten per cent of Watson's product of flour Is exported, the balance jbelng used locally. Of course this restricts the flour milling industry here in the heart of wheat lands, and enables dis tant mills to get wheal from this ter ritory and ship it back into flour to the prejudice of both farmers and la borers, as well as capitalists here. Illustrative of the extent of one form ot manufacturing here, which on account of its value as compared with Its freight expense, is the Gate City Candy Company. This concern within the past 12 months, has paid freight on 140,000 pounds of glucose used in making candy. There is another candy factory here that is growing but the Gate City,' la constantly enlarging, showing what a fine manufacturing center and distributing point Greens borevwere only freight rates fair and Just ; ' Special to Journal .

A correspondent writing from the lower end of Jones county says that a terrible storm ot wind, hail and rata passed over that section, Wednesday evening, June 6, doing a great deal of damage to crops and trees, especial ly fruit trees, Rail fences were blown away In many places, and the crops almost completely destroyed. The writer says that the hall stones wore "as large as boys' marbles and could be raked up by the peck from the ground. The storm swept a wide scope, and from near by points heard from, it waa very severe. No fatalities have been reported but the injury to crops has been very great the season being so far advanced that the damage can not be repaired by replanting. In t'.'
