THE NEWS-KECUKD, JUAKSUAAjIj, auftin uaiwtimai STATE CAM PROVE RATES REASONABLE ACCORDING TO E. J. JUSTICE, RAILftOADS' FIGURES ARE MISLEADING. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Owing and Happening That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo , pl Gathered Around the 8tate ; Capitol. Raleigh. K. J. Justice, author of the Justice freight rate act and now of the depart ment of Justice at Washington, was In Baleigh recently In conference with Governor Craig, Attorney General T. "W. Blckett and Messrs. Winston & Biggs, counsel for the State, regard ing preparations for the cross-examination of the railroad offlcals the lat ter part of this month with a view to breaking down the force of the array of figures presented by the rallroaa companies on direct examination. In the conference were also a num. !hr of freiKht rate experts whom the state will use In the presentation of ridence for the state and cross-examining the witnesses for the railroad companies. These were Prepldent Tred N. Tate of the Freight Rate Asso ciation, ' High Point; J. C. Forester, rale exoert for the Greensboro board of trade; W. S. Creighton, expert for the Charlotte board of trade, and T. i Rvrni. exoert for the North Carolina Furniture Manufacturers' Association, High Point. The whole scone of the rate sltua tlon and the evidence that has been presented by the railroad companies -were considered, and a general line at nrocedure agreed unon. These pros- -pectlve witnesses for the state were directed to work out figures that will 'break down the Dosition taken by the -railroad companies as to contractors effect or Injustice of the reduced rates prescribed by the Justice act. After the conference, Mr. Justice took occasion to say that he regards the figures presented by the railroad rarmnanies as entirely and grossly misleading and that he has pointed out these fallacies to the counsel for the state and the experts, so that they may work out the real facts that should control the final taxing of the rates. He says the railroad compa ii tea hav entirely too (treat a part of the operating expenses of their lines charged against the intrastate freight business and have their operating ex penses placed a whole lot too high as well. He remarked that if the Intrastate business for the other states served by the Southern Railroad Company were figured out on the same basis as that applied in North Carolina, they would represent fully 200 per cent of operat ing expenses of the whole system. We Insists that the counsel for the elate will have no trouble in breaking rdown the figures the railroad compa niea have presented, and that the rea sonableness of the rates prescribed will be fully vindicated. i - Too Late to Prevent Lynching. Speeding 18 miles across country In -automobiles under argent orders from Governor Craig to avert a threatened lynching, Assistant Adjutant General Gordon Smith and Capt. W. F. Moody, commanding a squad of 40 . men of Company B, Third I Regiment North Carolina Guard, reached their destina tion Just beyond Wendell, across the county line in Johnston county, only . to find the body of the negro they were attempting to save riddled with lmiiets and his head literally beaten Into a pulp. A mob of infuriated citk. sen bad taken him from Sheriff Grimes of Johnston county and his deputies and taken his life for his con fMuii crime of murdering Mrs. Wil liam Lynch recently. The victim of the lynching was Jim Wilson, who was arrested as a suspect at Warsaw, la ter confessed the crime and claimed that there were four, or , five accom pUoes, whose names he gave. , .

The old woman couia not be left alone. The young doctor was forced to offer his services. This had taken time, still If Billie had cared the least bit for him, she would have waited. There was no question about It . - As for'BlllIe. no. sooner had rranx gone than she called her brother from a' game of marbles and, refusing the escort of Dr. Davis, went home. The remainder of that night . she naased in .teara. and it WBS with a heavy heart that she rose on Valen tine's day. j,- .--. The day Itself was beautiful ana mild with a south wind blowing. The Imp had swallowed his breakfast and was begging his sister to mane a kite. It was while she was. cutting and pasting on this toy that he, in chattering about the neighborhood at large, told her the reason for Frank's delay the evening before. He had heard it at the party. "Yes." he finished as his sister, witn a shaking hand, passed him his com pleted kite, "he had to fetch Marge Roper, himself. That was wnen we saw him, wasn't it Sisr . - it would have been difficult to clas sify BUlle's sensations. She felt mean and unworthy, yet there was a streak of pure glory running through all.

It was hard to do, but it was the only way out She wasted the morning in wretched indecision then, at last thnneht struck her. Why not get out of it gracefully by writing a valen tine. She could be much holder on a valentine. - ' . The valentine was written. It must be delivered that day by a messenger, and, - since the Imp had helped to cause the trouble, he must act the part of St Valentine's envoy and makepeace. ; - Rhn nnt on her nrettv brown dress and her brown and scarlet toque and went forth in search of the small ooy. When she found him he was having much eniovment with the kite. As Billie tramped across the new ground towards him. aha saw a tan. oroaa- nhnnldered man In a long -overcoat backed up against the fence watching the Imn's maneuvers with the kite. aha riaclriod to nretend she had not seen him, though a wonderful scheme darted into her brain assoon as sne caught sight of him aha soon reached the Imp. and after a few earnest words with her he drew in the kite. They worked over it a minnta than, while she held it aloft ha took the cord and scampered away, An obliging puff of wind came aiong mil ohnt the kite uoward. The Imp sped on. The kite, true to Its nature, swayed from side to side and, as tne hnv naid out the twine, soared up ward made an erratic side-swipe, zig zagged around for a hundred yards or more. then, with a triumphant spurt of speed, sailed into a leafless cherry tree near the fence. - -' The Imp came to a halt and looked mournfully at the kite nodding Its three-cornered head over ft limb. Than ennarnntlv for the first time the small boy discovered Dr. Frank Miller standing near him. . "Please, Frank, whined the imp, 'get me the kite. .You can stand on the fance and reach it with your nana " "; s, r -.5 .' .

ThA imn. arrinnlng in sympathy, was loft amManiv with his mouth ajar in amazement at a long-legged madman taring- arrnaB the field, headed ror a brown and red apparition and, to the Imp's disgust, carrying the kite with him.
