THE SEABOARD' PLAN
President Williams Makes a
Statement.
Appointment Of Receiver For The Southbourd
Can Not Effect The Plan For Con-
solidaion.
(By the Associated Press. J

Richmond, Va, June 6.-Mr. John Skel-
ton Williams, president of the Seaboard
Air Line, gave out the following today;
'The statement which appeared in the
morning papers concerning a receiver for
the Southbound Railroad is misleading.
The whole controversy arose over ST.
500 personal injury case, which the South
bound Railroad disputes, and has ap-
pealed.
THE judge of the State court who
granted the order distinctly states that
his order cannot affect the plan for the
consolidation of the Southbound with the
Seaboard Air Line Railroad, or the lease
of the Southbound to the r. c. and p.
Railroad, or the S. A. l.. Railroad, and
the receiver is only authorized to take
charge of any of the property of the
Southbound Railroad which is not covered
by the lease.
"As all of the property of the South
bound is leased, the receivers hands are
empty, and he has no duties to perform.
The order does not in any way affect the
operation or control of the Southbound
Railroad, which is being operated and will
continue to be operated as heretofore"

(By the Associated Press.)

New York, June 6.-The Consolidated
Tobacco Company, incorporated in New
Jersey on Wednesday, was formally or
ganized in this city by the election of
these directors:
James B. Duke, oliver H. Payne,
Thomas F. Ryan J. b. Cobb, w. w Full
ler Grant B. schley, Frank H. Ray, An
thony NJ. Brady, C. C. Dula, w. R. Har-
ris, p. A. B. Widener, Percival S. Hill,
B. n. Duke and Charles E. Hallowell.
The directors organized by electing
James B. Duke, president; Thomas t.
Ryan, first vice president; j. B. Cobb
second vice president; c. C. Dula. third

treasurer, and C. S. Kenne, secretary.
The last named official is at present in
charge of the transportation departments
of the American and Continental Tobacco
Companies, and all the other persons
named are directors or officers of the
same corporations.
1t was decided at the first meeting of
the directors to offer four per cent fifty
year gold bonds of the company to the
common stockholders of the American
and Continental Tobacco Companies on
the basis of 81 in bonds for each share
of stocks. IN the case of the American
Company this offer is equal to 50 in bonds
for each dollar par value of it's stock
so that stock is of the per value of $50 a
share.
In addition American Tobacco common
stockholders who accept this offer will
receive ~ per cent in cash on adjust
ment of the dividend accruing on their
stock to August 1st, on which date the
bonds of the Consolidated Company begin
to draw interest A formal Offering of the

can and Continental Tobacco Companies

bonds can be issued only to take up the
two classes of stock mentioned and for
no other purpose. At no time can the
issue of bonds exceed the amount of

ing lien upon the shares deposited.

cash capital of the company, and what
eer property may be acquired with the
same and also upon the earnings of the
new company.
An officer of the company stated that
considerably more than majority of the
common stock of the American and Con
tinental Companies has already been
pledged for exchange into the hands of
the Consolidated Company. This same
official made it clear that in the consoli-
dation the preferred shares fthe Amerf
can and Continental Tobacco Companies
are not disturbed
BY control of these concerns the Con
solidated Company will also control the
American Cigar Company, seventy per
cent OF the capital of that corporation be-
ing held by the American Continental
Companies.

TO CONSIDER RECIPROCITY.
The Manufacturers Association Recommend a
Convention For This Purpose.
(By the Associated Press.


Detroit, Mich, June Sat it's closing
session today the National Association of
Manufacturers adopted a resolution rec
ommending the calling of a general con-
vention for the consideration of recipro-
city treaties with foreign countries. The
executive committee was charged to call
and organize such a convention. The fol-
lowing resolution was adopted with re-
gard to tariff revision.
Resolved That the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers affirms the follow
ing principles should govern all legisla-
tion. The object of tariff legislation
should be to furnish adequate protection
to such products only as require it, with
out providing for monopoly abuses. The
tariff on goods of which the cost of pro-
duction is higher in the United States
than in foreign countries should be at
least what is necessary to compensate
domestic industries for the higher cost
OF production"
The Association reelected it's old Off
GERS, as has been the custom since it was
organized and fixed Indianapolis as the
place for the next convention.

was quite generally in the direction of
enlarging the cotton area. But we find no
evidence of any radical tendency in that
direction except in the newer sections;
hence the net per centage of increase
for the whole country is only about half
as great as in 1900. Oklahoma, which
furnished an addition of % per cent last
year, adds 20 per cent this season, and
in the Indian Territory the percentage
this year is IA, against 10 in 1900. Some
sections in Western Texas report very
heavy additions this spring, but in many
other districts of the State the increases
have been quite moderate. AS we make
it the net gain for the whole country is
but sos per cent, against 9.76 per cent
last year.

Montgomery, Ala, June 6-The feature
of today's session of the Constitutional
convention was the ordinance introduced
by Mr.. Sanford of Montgomery, to strihO
cut that part of the preamble which de-
clares that no State has a right to Sc
cede. He says it is unnecessary. Another
ordinance which created much laughter
was that of Pierce, of Marion, that no
man who is learned in law shall hereaf-
ter hold any office except one of judicial
nature Sanford, of Pike, offered an or
dinance providing that there shall be no
Imprisonment for debt except where per-
sons agree TO do some special act or SER
vice for his employer and thereby obtain
money or goods to perform service. An
other important ordinance was that of
Foster, of Tuscaloosa that no new ordin-
ance shall be introduced after June 10th;
that the convention take recss of one
week on that date, the committees to sit
in the meantime and get heir repors

An oasis in a desert
The Red Birds at last got fiutter on
their wings.
The game was a clear cut article of
ball and Raleigh won from Newport News
by score of 4 to 8.
1t is the unexpected that happens, and
there were few in Raleigh yesterday who
expected King Kel and his men to win
out.
The hot ball players from Newport
News with the jolly Ashenback as their
leader, had just put the quietus on the
erstwhile Wilmington Giants and flushed
with their recent victories expected to
have "a soft thing when they went UP
against the Senator'S. But they didn't.
Again yesterday it was shown that the
Raleigh team, when it wakes up, can put
up good stiff article of ball The boys
in red had to put up red hot ball yes
terday, and they hung together and did
it in great shape.
There was a new line up of players Cor
the local team yesterday and the new
men were used Stocksdale was in the
box and he did winning work with the
ball, having good support. Jordan was
at first and Kelly covered right field in
handsome style, putting out two men,
while at the stick he punched out two
bagger in great shape. Venable did
short in excellent form.
The only error charged up against Rail
eigh was a fly, dropped by Sorber. The
ball was wet and Shiny and the valiant
left fielders glove was in the same con-
dition, so the ball just went through as
if it had been creased
At one time it seemed as if the game
would have to stop, as rain fell for nearly
an hour, beginning at the close of the
second inning. 1t cleared away, however,
and the crowd which had stood the wet
ting well, were rewarded by good ball
playing.
''Bill D. LeGrande was at his best yes
terday, and the tabulated score shows
that eight put outs are to his credit. He
just ate uD the balls that came in his
back yard and deserves a bouquet of roses
to be presented by the prettiest of all
the pretty rooterines of Raleigh.
The visitors are ball players right, and
it was good ball playing yesterday that
they presented the public with. in addi-
tion to the charm of the amusement fur
nished by Ashenback.
