The distance from Danville to Pelham I. nine miles, and from Greensboro to Pelham, 40 miles. ' "The logical outcome ot this com plaint," sa d Mr. Manghum, "should be that the interstate rates from Vir ginia to Carolina points oe reaucea so that they will not be higher' than rates applying for similar distance, within the state of North Carolina, or that the rates in North Carolina ba ordered increased by the m Interstate commerce commission bo that they will not be more than the interstate rate from Virginia to North Carolina point. for similar distances.
