Washington, May 20-That the rail roads of the country are preparing to rpuke a combined fight against the val idity of State laws fixing passenger rates at 2 cents a mile is announced by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Pending the presentation of the rail roads' case to the courts, the commis sion, dospite its openly expressed dis approval of the custom has given the carriers permission to make through rateBon interstate traffic higher than the sura of a combination of local fares between the same points until May' 1st. 1912. "The-commission is of the opinion that the custom of charging one rate per mile for intrastate traffic and a higher rate per mile for interstate traf fic is indefensible," declared the com mission! "If the interstate business were in all cases performed by the use faster trains or comfortable cars and a longer time limit on tickets, some justi fication would exist for the payment of higher fares; such is not the case.- ' "While the interstate fares through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, for instance, are all made upon a 2 cent scale, the interstate fares between this territory are made on a 2J-cent scale whenever it is practicable te do so."

R. R is the beat place in the township. Therefore citizens of the locality mentioned offer two sites for said school location one of 25 acre on the road leading from Bellair to Neuse adjoining the lands of J H Stev enson, the others on Neuse road about the junction of the Neuse and Clarks roads, a 'site available with 25 or 60 acres if needed.

The highway will be .built us mapped out, provided that the towns through which it is to pass, and the Co. Commissioners of the various counties do their parts. Otherwise the route named may be changed. Dr. Pratt and his associates recom mended that the highway run from Ral eigh to Smithfield, passing through Gar ner. Auburn and Clayton, several rela- tions will be required in order to cut down grades. From Smithfield to Golds- boro, the highway will follow the pres ent public road via Princeton. The road must be straightened, widened and several bad grades eliminated. From Goldsboro to Kinston the high way will follow the regular road, via LaGrange, Fields, Falling. Creek; ssv- relations required. From Kinston1 to New Bern, the route will go down the Neuse River to Fort Barnwell and via Jasper to New Bern. From New Bern to Beaufort harbor two routes are pro posed and both are recommended, one via Newport and down the east shore of Newport river to Beaufort, and. the other a direct route from Newport to Morehead City. Several deviations are suggested by Dr. Pratt as beinc very desirable, es pecially that of running the highway to New Bern from Kinston, following oiosely the Trent river road through Jones-county.'
