WILLIAMS HELD
 FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

Porter Williams, the negro who shot and killed Richard Blalock Tues day, has been bound over for man. slaughter by Justice l.. B. Harris to await the action of the September grand jury and his bond fixed at 5000.
 At the inquest Wednesday, there was difference of testimony among the witnesses as to whether Blalock had raised his gun to his shoulder, before Williams fired the fatal shot. The latter testified he had been hunt ing and thus happened to be carrying gun.
 The jury composed of George Bark CT, Scott Lindsey, J. M. Cherry, Louis and Russell Thomas, Jasper Baker, Hugh Dunnington, Wm. Quinn, Green Lewis, T. M. Noble, Thos. Phillips and Wm. Provence found that Blalock came to his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of Porter Williams.

MAMMOTH SPRING ACCORDS
 WOOD AN OVATION

Mammoth Spring, Aug. 19.--The fourteenth annual reunion here ot the blue and the gray convened Tuesday with the largest attendance of its history. Many prominent speakers were in attendance.
 Judge Carroll D. Wood, by invita- tion of the association, spoke this forenoon at 10 o'clock for about an hour and half. The speech was one fitted to the occasion and contained not one word about his candidacy for governor or about politics, but it con- tained splendid patriotic sentiment which was warmly applauded by the immense crowd present.
 Judge Wood carried the people with him by his speech and at it's conclu- sion beautiful boquet of flowers was presented to him, and many crowded around to shake hands with him. He made many warm friends here today. For a stranger to many of our people to make the impression that Judge Wood made today is wonderful. All the crowd was with him all the way through his speech and the comments since are all in his favor.

New York April 14.-Just before the
close of the Stock Market today reports
were current that the Northern Securities
Company had decided not to appeal from
the merger decision and would abandon
that plan for one of several others. A
representative of the company, in po-
sition to speak with authority declared
that the report was absolutely false. He
added that no plan of action had yet been
determined upon and might not be for
some time.
Another report circulated just before
the closing hour of the Stock Exchange
was that steps were being taken to com
promise the Northern Securities case in
some way. Just how this was to be done
was not brought out. This report, appar-
enty was without authority

TO MAKE BETTER men
Gov, Aycock Speaks at Burl

Education.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Burlington, N. c., April 14-Governor
Aycock addressed d large audience drawn
together by the Baptist Educational and
Missionary Convention at the Baptist
Church tonight on the subject of educa-
)tion as a factor in evangelizing the world
He said this subject was not new one
but was as old as the State. To educate
man means to make good citizen out of
him, that is to educate in the broadest
sense like educating an Irish potato. At
one time the potato was poisonous and
unfit for use, but the poison was elimi-
mated and the good developed-so with
man, education means to suppress all
that is evil and develop all that is good,
and no man truly lives until he is 80 ed
ucated that the passions and evil OF his
nature are made to perish and give place
to the good. Religion, morality and
knowledge are essential to good govern
ment, and every time we buy a lock to
put on our door we are doin ESQ as the
result of evil to keep the thief out.
Education means to make the man who
digs the ditch dig it good to make the
man who builds a house build it better
than any one else to make the doctor a
better doctor. Reading and writing en-
ables us to commune with the world
genius, but unless they make us better
able to conquer our selves it is not realiz-
cd to the fullest extent.

COMPLAINT OF UNFAIR RATES.
Central Yellow Pine Association Asks Investi-
cation by Inter State Commission.
(By the Associated Press. }

Washington, April 14.-The Central
yellow Pine Association, composed of
lumber manufacturers and shippers in
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia today
Dled with the Interstate Commerce
Commission formal request for an in
Vestlgatlon OF alleged illegal advantages
given to the manufacturers of yellow
pine lumber whose mills and plants are
located along the railways in Arkansas
and Louisiana west of the Mississippi
river. The complaint alleges that in or
der to give these advantages over the
complainants in rival markets the de-
fcndant roads have introduced the prac-
tice of Disgusting rebates given on Ium-
ber shipments through so called 'teap
lime" divisions OF freight carried. This
means allowances on account of the log
ging railroads owned by the manufactur-
ers and shippers themselves to haul logs
from their timber lands to the various
mills along their lines of the railroads
"Such shippers" the complaint alleges,
"are treated as carriers protanto OF their
lumber manufactured from the logs bill
cd out, over the said railroads. Upon
the false theory that such shippers are
engaged in the continuous interstate
and joint carriage OF their lumber, they
are allowed and paid a substantial por-
tion of the freight from the point of
shipment to the point of destination, no
matter how many lines Of railway par
ticipate in the carriage The so-called
teap division amounts to a rebate from
the regular and published rates charge
able against shippers In general to as
much as three cents per hundred pounds
or fifteen per carload"

CORNERED BY THE TRUST.
How the Tobacco Combines Made Cigarettes
Luxury in Germany.
CBy the Associated Press.)

Berlin, April 14.-The manner in which
the American Tobacco Company cornered
the market for cigarette tobacco is re-
porte dupon by the Berlin Chamber OF
Commerce to the Prussian Commerce
Minister, Herr Moeller, as follows:
The American Tobacco Trust in a skill
full, well planned manner, secured the
output of cigarette tobacco in order to
meet its increased demand for raw to-
macco b ybuying not only in the markets
of producing countries, but in the chief
staple markets. The warehouses are at
present empty and prices for the cheaper
qualities have risen 25 to 80 per cent. 1t
cannot however, be ascertained that the
American purchases were made for pur-
poses of speculation or for controlling
the market of the world They appear
on the other hand merely to have been to
cover the trusts. enormous demand. Sc
far as the German product Is concerned
the cheaper qualities were bought, but of
the American crop the dearer kinds were
purchased While it is hardly planned to
make the German raw tobacco market de-
pendent upon American interests. still the
domestic industry feels keenIy the de-
ment of prices. The market for cigar to-
bacco has felt the influence of the trust
to lesser degree. OF course the trust
completely controls the raw tobacco sup
ply for Havana cigars. The trust began
operations in the German cigarette mar.
ket with the purchase of the factory OF
George A. Jasmatsi, of Dresden, at the
beeinning of 1901. Sincg then it has sue
eeeded in increasing it's business fully
fifty per cent. In order to create large
market for its product the trust opera
ates with liberal rebates. but there is
nothing unusual in this method of doing
business, apart from the fact that rebates
are given even for small quantities. On
the other hand it appears not to be free
from criticism that the trust delivers
,200 cigarettes whenever a thousand are
ordered furthermore, it has developed
sys9S.o of bounties which is strongly dis
approved In German business circles. We
believe the trust intends to try to secure
control of the entire German cigarette
market. but there is nothing to indicate
that it will soon succeed. The German
cigarette industry is strong enough in
capital and technical equipment to take
up the fight against the trust"
