Kates' . By the high rates charged for freight the Norfolk and Southern railroad Is 1 doubtless responsible for consldera- ibla loss of trade to the merchants a- long the line of road aa may be im plied by the following case which came bo .the notice of the Journal yeo terday. . '. , . . . : ' ' ' v Mr. D..P. Thompson, of Aurora, was inthe city ana In the Jourse of con versation With a citizen told how ne saved .money by not relying on tne railroad. He said be wanted two plows and he communicated with a local dealer and found the price here to be as low as he could expect but Gefoie buying he ' thought he wouits investigate what the freight. rate to Aurora on the articles would be anil he found the price would be so high, that he decided not to purchase bU: ordered the plows from the'manufac tory In LouiaVllle, K. . .. ' The entire cost of the plows, freight from Louisville and Incidentals was less than- getting the' pli)w4 from' the short ',. distance from New Bern. Now lo the face of tljese facts floe's it not ldok as If there were something rotten In Deumark? Here are plows la.id down here afr reasonable price, nothing in the world to defer a purchase, andyet the freight rates between New Berit ".'and-' Aurov.: are so high aa to prevfent business. And then it .is contendedthat there ig no discrimination against iNew , Bern. It.it isn't discrlminatidn what is it; This is only one case. .' ,fV N t SAVAGE ATTACK BY SEGBO Percy Williams, 'Colored Is Danger ously Wounded by DeWItt Smith Percy Williams and Dewitt Smita, two employees of Mr. Fred.
