High Points of Railroads and War Taxes in High Point
High Point contributes substantially to federal war taxes via freight and passenger travel. Daily tax revenue totals about 100 dollars with 70 from freight and 30 from passengers. Southern Railway shows steady passenger business above 10 000 and freight averages near 32 100 per day. The city’s rail network connects with Norfolk and Western and Seaboard services, linking to Denton High Rock and pine oak country, plus the sand hill region. Despite embargoes, freight bills likely exceed 750 000 with passenger revenue around 120 000. Also notes Eddie Cicotte’s notable pitching feats for the White Sox, including a no hit game against St Louis and a three hit effort versus Philadelphia.
