BROADNAX-BLAIR MURDER.
Special Term-TO Draw Jury-MissI
walkers Bravery The Negroes
C~OOlness,

Especial to Charlotte Ob~server.)
Reidsville, March 22.-Tomorrow the
county commissioners will meet to
term Of Rockingham superior court,
which Governor Aycock has ordered
for the trial Of John Broadnax, the
slayer Of Mr.. Sidney Blair. There IS
considerable talk about the special
trial and the various opinions, If list
ened to, would lead one to believe that
any action the governor should nave
taken would not have been correct.
Many say that it is entirely o early
yet to bring the negro here; some say
the trial should have been ordered the
day following the tragedy. while others
think the trial wholly Unnecessary.
The conservatives, as a rule, are
praising Governor Aycock for his
prompt action. The citizens continue
to discuss the bravery Of Miss Walker,
and nobody can ever know the real
extent of her bravery until they see
and talk to her. She is a woman %
years old fine-lOoking and is very in
telligent. She has told the history Of
the tragedy numbers of times and she
tells precisely the same to one and all.
Mr.. Blair was known as a man Of
strong convictions and he was held
in the very highest esteem by all who
knew him. He had the reputation Of
miser. and h impression throughout
the county was that he kept large
sums of money hidden on the premises.
He was always liberal with his money
and was noted as a big hearted con-
tributOr to those in need. The cool
ness of the murderer has also caused
much comment. Mr.. Estes, who was
the first man to reach the scene, stat
ed to The Observer correspondent that
when they placed him in the buggy to
carry him to Jail at Wentworth the
negro asked Deputy Sheriff Fucett 10
tie his bicycle or the rear of the bug
gy; that he might have a special use
for it. and ere the murderer had gone
ten feet from the Blair home he was
WhiStling a familiar burnt-cOrk artists
tune. Even when he attempted to es-
cape from the house and a guard fired
at him Broadnax leisurely walked
back into the house and took his seat.
He seemed very we'll contented in Jail
at Wentworth, but was delighted to
be removed to Greensboro n Raj
eigh in order hat he might 'see some
thing of the world" When he returns
he will be closely guarded and there is
little danger Of violence before he can
be tried.
Miss Walker stated to me yesterday
that her uncle possessed much money;
she thought he had deposited it in the
bank. but she thinks now he must
have. placed it somewhere on the prem
ises. ! AS soon as she is able she will
begin to search for the money and
valuables.
Company G.. Third Regiment, Ma
tional Guard, promptly responded to
the governors orders. Captain Glad
stone succeeded in having every men,
Der in the rank in Just so minutes
after he was notified and the soldiers
looked as if they were ready for bust
ness. The colonel of the Third Regi-
n1ent, ]. N. Craig. kept a close watch
on the proceedings and pay a high
compliment to the members OF tine

Audience Alternate Between Kisses
and Cheers.

Detroit, Mich, March 24-U. S.
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South
Carolina. was greeted with alternate
storms of cheers and Kisses when he
he delivered an impassioned address
on the race problem tonight at the
Light Guard Armory, the audience
being evidently divided between w.
holders of his ideas and strenuous op-
ponents of them.
you butchered h Indians and shut
out the Cinnamon, but a it been
known by the soldiers who surrender
ed with Lee that it was your devlish
intent to set up the negro over the
white man we should have fought you
till now"
Upon the senator's reference to some
of Sherman's army as bummers, chick
en- thieves and carpet baggers, his
northern audience broke out into sue
violent Kissing that the speech was
interrupted and some Of the more tim
id mes in the audience feared trouble.

CAN'T CONTINUE COMBINATION.
Coal Companies and Operators Re.
strained from Regulation of Price.
and Output.

Chicago, March 24-Ten Indian coal
companies and ten individual opera
tors were restrained by Judge Kohlsaal
in the United States circuit court, from
continuing their combination for the
regulation Of coal prices and output.
The defendants were given until April
9Th to show cause why the order should
not be made permanent
The corporations M individuals en-
joined are the same recently tried in
the state court, on the charge of rails
ing the prices of coal and restricting
the output in Illinois, thus causing the
coal famine in Chicago last winter.
Judge Chetlain dismissed the case on
the grounds that the offense commit
ted was against the Federal law and
not against the %tatutes of Illinois.
The injunction granted will stand
until further order of the court. It re-
cites tina the action of the court is
aiken upon the application of United
States District Attorney Albert c.
Harness and orders that the defendants
are especially restrained and enjoined
from in any way complying with or
executing the terms of a certain con.
tract, made and entered into between
you during the month Of March. 1902.
