THE RAILWAY COMMISSION
Takes Up the Question or
Freight Rates.
The railway commission today issued
a circular letter of importance. It is
in the case of White and Thompson
and many others against the Southern,
W. & W., S. A. L. aud O. F. & V. V.
railways, and is addressed to each of
these defendants. The letter is as
follows:
"Very general complaint is being
made against the enforcement of rule
No. 7, which appears in the July num
ber of 'How to Ship,' and which is as
follows: 'The minimum charge on a
single shipment of one class, classified
first class or lower, shall be for 100
pounds at the class rates to which it
eloiigs, but if classified higher than
first class the minimum charge shall
be for 100 pounds at the first class
rate. If the shipment contains articles
u two or more classes, none of which
re classified higher than first class.
the minimum charge shall be for 10()
ounds of the article taking the high
est class, but if any one of the articles
is classified higher than first class the
minimum charge shall be tor 1UW
pounds at the first class rate.'
"This rule affects very seriously a
arge class of our people and benefits
no one in the state and seems to be in
the interest of large shippers north.
he commission is sure your sense of
ustice will induce you to have the old
rates restored. We are aware that
this rule affects only inter-state busi-
ess and that it is beyond the power
f this commission to restore the for
mer rate, but we feel it to be our duty
to call this matter to the attention of
the inter-state commission if it is per
sisted in. The commission is of the
opinion that it is au unjust discrimi
nation against small shippers."
The commission also disposed of the
case of McD. Little against the South
ern railway. This was a complaint of
efusal to deliver goods to plaintiff
upon tender by him of payment of the
rate charged in the bill of lading.
From the investigation of this case it
appeared that the rate charged in the
bill of lading was an error committed
by the initial carrier beyond the limits
of the State, and that" the defendant
had not authorized or guaranteed the
special contract of shipment. The
complaint is therefore dismissed.
An Old Camp Meeting.
At the Rock Springs camp ineetiuj,
in Mecklenburg county, last Sunday,
there were 5,000 people present. This

exercises was a sermon by Rev. Mr.
Ivey, who has preached there for 43
years consecutively. The News says
his sermon Sunday was to the old
people, and there were a number
present whose ages ranged from 60 to
85 years.

FLAT on the Floor. You want a car
pet of some kind this fall. You may
waut more than one; but listen to me
once in your life. Don't buy the ear
pets until our new ones come. The
tariff bill has passed ' and carpets are
reduced wonderfully. We have been
waiting for the passage of this bill so
we have not bought any carpets. Mos
merchants went straight on and
bought carpets aud had them shipped
right out regardless of the tariff and
they will try to argue you into believ
ing the tariff don t attect carpets right
away. This is not true. In 10 days
from day of passage it goes into effect
and you can save one -quarter of the
price of your carpet it you let good
sense prevail. We- will have a stock
of carpets such as you rarely see. Our
buyer is to go to New York this week
for carpets. Yours truly,
