aaeaw FREIGHT RATES DISCUSSED President of 8outhem Railway Com , pany Guest of Goldsbora Chamber of Commerce at First Annual Banquet' Goldsboro, N. C President Mnley, of the Southern Railway Company, who was one of the speakers at a banquet given Friday evening by the Goldsbonr Chamber of Commerce, spoke on "The State of North Caro lina," with special reference to the relations of the Southern Railway Company to the S'ate and what the management of that Company is en deavoring to do for the State. ' Mr. Kinley said that he proposed to speak in the profound conviction that the interests of the State will best be promoted by policies that are best for the interests of the people and for the Interests of the railways: Ho said: "A great deal has recently been said on the subject of the Vir ginia Cities rates from the West. It is most important to have a clear understanding regarding the conditions that have led to the establishment of the Virginia Cities rates. I shall refer to this matter only so far as may be nec essary to make clear the respon sibility for the establishment of those rates." Mr. Finley pointed out that, prior to the time when the roads operating ' through North Caro'na began to com pete for Virginia Cities business, the rates on that business had been estab- Ushed by lines which did not touch North Carolina. He showed that the roads making these rates traversed I more deusely populated regions and j ha v a greater density of trafiio than i the lines in the South, and said: "The fact that some of the lines : operating through North Carolina have competed for the Virginia Cities business at the rates estab lished by these other companies, but at a margin of profit at which they could not affo-d to carry all of their business, does not, in any way, make them responsible for the Virginia Cities rates. "It is now well known, how ever, that conferences have been In progress between representa tives of the State of North Caro lina and the railways in an effort to reach an understanding on questions as to the effect of the Virginia Cities rates on points la North Carolina The railways, in deference to the sentiment of the people of the State on the sub ject and not because tbey consid er the earning of such business at present tariff rates economi rally unsound, have offered, in connection with a proposed ad jnsUneut. now in process of being worked out between (he State and the railways, to withdraw from the business from the West to the Virginia Cities through North Carolina. It is also proposed that the effect of the Virginia Cities rates on poii;'s in North Carolina shall be considered in conference In an effort to reach an agree ment as to reasonable adjust ments which may he put into effect through an order of the Inter state Commerce Commission. I will oot burden you this evening with other features of the con ferences between the State and the railways. It is my most earn est hope that the negotiations, thus entered upon, may result in removing fvery ground of con troversy between the people of North Carolina and the railways on this subject "It would. I believe, he most tin fortunate if the people of any State and the railways, which are ao important to their progress and development, should become In I Tolved in controversy on ques tions of railway charges. Much the better plan, in ray opinion. Is that of rn"otlng n conference. In such a conference all matters at Issue should. In a spirit of fair ness on both sides, be discussed la all their economic relations and every effort should be made to arrive at an amicable agree ment that will work substantial Justice. I believe that, if after full and free conference In which all facts and arguments present ed shall have been considered la a spirit of reciprocal fairness, any questions remain as to which agreements ran not be reached, they should be submitted to those tribunals which have been con atltuted by the law of the land fr their adjudication." 8tatet Great Progress. Referring to the dependence of pro duction upon highways to market, Mr Finley said it was not a mere accident Tfiat the progress of North Carolina 16 recent years had been co Incident with the development of m.ire effi cient transportatieo agencies.

MARTIN, . V LENOIR, H, C 'iov.inj tin; miUmdid achievements of Mi people tf .North Carolina as shown by Uo.icd States Census figures, he summed up the agricultural prp&Mst of tho State by showing that the total value of farm prosperity In the State Increased from $233,834,693 In 1900 to $537,716,210 in 1910, an 'increase or $303,881,517, or 130 per cent, as com pared with an increase of 100.1 pe: rent for all of the other States. Even more noteworthy were the statistics ol manufacturing showing a gain i" Ihe vaii f of manufactured products i'i North Carolina from $S5,274,0S3 i'. 1S!9 to $i16.5';.055 in l!09, an In crease of ?l;'i1.3Sl.!72, or 154 per cent is compared with 80 7 per cent for ai; if the other States, every manufactur ing industry in the State, with tin -iiigie exception of turpentine and ro'.; in, showing inci eases ranging Hum 5' m r cent for men's ciothing to 459 pe: eiit for boots and shoes and 4:l per 2nt for mattresses and spring beds He drew the conclusion from the sta .ustics of agriculture nnd manuf.vtu: ing that economic conditions in- Nortl 'aroliua are exceptionally favorab! to progress and development. A'--howing that the progress of thus parts of the State served by Southern Railway lines compares most favor ibly with other parts of the State Mr. Finley pointed out that, in th twenty-year census period from 1890 to 1910. covering the first sixtet i vears of the corporate existence o1 the Southern Railway Company, eiglr cen North Carolina cities with a poj illation of 2,5iHi or more in 1910 had hown a growth of more than SO pe rent, these cities being Ashevillc with S;;.S per cent increase: Hiekor s3.fi per cent: Statesville. 98 4 per cent: Conn. id. loOv per cent: Win; j ton Salem, lilt! per cent Mount Airv !i7.! percent: Shelby, 124.3 percent: Henderson title. i:",1.7 per cent: (Ira ham 151.7 per eeni: Hurling ton. ln: per cent: l. -v-igion.

Speaking of the helpfulness of the Southern Railway Compaay to the ter ritory traversed by its lines, Mr. Fin ley pointed out that one of the way? in which it is contributing to the de velopment of North Carolina li through It s large expenditures in the State, its payments within North Car oiina on account of wages and taxes alone being each year in excess of th total amount of freight revenue col lected within ihe State Mr Kinley said that the Company's helpful co-operation is available fo. every community in the State. Me 'old of the organization and activities of the Creater Western North Caro !ina Association, ai d said the Com pany would be glad to participate In a Statewide movement of the sam sort if i rrried on under the auspices of the State or through a responsible organization similar to that In West ern North Carolina. H said that, in iddition to an agent of the Land and Industrial rVj'.itiment located In the S'ale and the representation of the 'Jepaitineni of Farm Improvement Work by an sslnlant Manager at charlotte and Field Agents at C.reons horo and Asheville. North Carolina hares with the other States travers d by its lines in the services of the Company's I'airy Agents and Live Stock Agents Under a scholarship provision made by the Company, three North Carolina hoys are receiv ing the bein fits of the full four-year igrieulhiral course in the North Caro Una Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege. Telling of the recent appoint ment by the Southern Hallway and issociated companies of four Marke' Agents to assist in the successful mar ketlng of agrirultural and hortirultur il products from territory along theii linen, Mr Finley said that one of the first concrete propositions undertaken by Miepp agents was that of aiding in the effort to find the most advan ingeous markets for 50,000 cans of to matoes put up by the Girls' Tomato Clubs or North Carolina. Southern Not in Politic. In conclusion, Mr. Mnley said: "The Southern Railway Com pany does not participate In the politics of North Carolina or of any other State traversed by Its line There was a time when support by the railways of policies deeni(.,j essential to the preser vation of our civilization was urged upon them an a. patriotic duty. 1 think we may all rejoice In the anah'tiing of public con science ami 'he elevation of public standards that would condemn any return to those inrnlit ions In ab sf ilrrng from iMilitical aniviiy In the Stale .the Company ha:- riot surjendr re'd any of the fuii.l;um . tal pniiC al riehts to whi h it Is e: ti).-d :;, as f,,i p,,;. ns any othr V onens enterprise or any ifdivldual citizens There rich's it.- ''!(!" the f -K ri d rin.i of p( ti tiiui the rit'tit to he l..v.-'l ;n ar.

"I have spoken to you to-night not as one viewing your situation . from without, but as one who Ib in , thorough sympathy with your ideals and aspirations. In speak ing of the relations of the railways to North Carolina I have done so as one who feels his responsibili ties In the management of an agency of vital importance to iho development of the State. My at titude toward the people of North Carolina is that of one whose earnest desire it is to be useful and co-operatively helpful, and who, though he may have made errors of judgment, has always been sincere. "The Old North State has a his tory of which her sons may well be proud. She was the first for mally to declare her independence of the British Crown and has ever been among the foremost of the States in tin tight and action. She is. as the census, figures show, among the first of the States in present-day progress and I have no fear that, with her splendid natural advantages and through the co-operation of her enterpris ing citizens and her railways, she will continue to hold that proud position " ADMINISTRATORS NO'l ICK.
