No Raise in Car Fares. A conference of officials of the Southern Public Utilities company from Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Green ville and Andersen was held at the of fice of President Z. V. Taylor in Char lotte recently. The conference was tor the purpose of discussing furtheif possible economics in operation whereby the company, it was an nounced, hoi>es to avoid the necessity for asking ^r an increase in car fares. It has been a matter of general knowledge for sometime that the Southern Public Utilities companjtj was contemplating an applicat).on for an increase in car fare from seven to eigSit cents to take care of increased operating expenses, including an in crease effective September 1 in tho schedule of ewages paid to street car men. President Taylor stated that the company had delayed making Applica tion in the hope that there would be such a decline in the cost of material and supplies as would enable the company to continue operation at present fares. While there has not as yet been any decline In prices of street railway supplies the recent de cline in prices of commodities in gen eral has stimulated this hope, and at the conference this hope wad fwtJie^ strengthaned. «•> 'Responding to the call that has come from the Board of Missions of the Methodist Church, in behalf of the suffering people of Poland; the Brevard Methodist Church is conduc ting an old clothes campaign.

LIBRARY: Seaboard Laying Off'Men. Former employes in the shops of tiie Seaboard railway here* who have be& discharged are preparing to go to other cities to find employment. More than 100 are affected by the order which reached the main offices of the Seaboam. It does' not appear why the rail roaders were laid off hut it is presum ed that the reduction at the Raleigh .shops is in line with similar action taken at Portsmouth several days ago. The supposition is that less repair facilities are to be maintained intlie southern states. Mrs. J. S.
