RATE ON COTTON
GOODS REDUCED
Durham Mills Given Better Rates
10 Virginia Cities

The interstate commerce commits
sion has Just made an important ruling
reducing the freight rates on certain
kinds OF cotton goods from Dsrham
to Norfolk, Richmond, Lynchburg and
other Virginia points.
The Erwin Cotton Mills have recent
ly begun the manufacture Of sheets
and pillow cases in their new mill.
Before this new mill was put into ope-
ration there was very little Of this fin
ished product manufactured here, and
no favorable freight rate had been
established. There was favorable
rate on the unfinished sheeting to
northern and western points. The
Erwin Mil Company at once took up
the matter OF having the rates on The
finished product reduced 50 as to en-
able shipments to be made to the vari-
ous markets throughout the country.
The interstate commerce commission
announced Saturday that the rate had
been ordered reduced TO the Virginia
markets. and hereafter this rate will
be just three cents higher on the iin-
ished product than on the fabrics 10
original pieces.
The company Is trying 70 secure a
similar reduction In rates to a number
OF other points. and this reduction will
likely be made in short time.

Raleigh, July 31.-People OF the

tions are again importuning Cover
nor Kitchin to revoke the pardon he
granted some months ago to Wiley
Black, the notorious wealthy Ashe-
vile man, who was serving SEN
tence on the roads for maintaining a
disorderly house in Asheyille. He
was charged with secretly backing
numbers OF the blind tigers and
other places in Asheville and lately
in Hendersonville. He has just been
convicted of engaging in the white
slave traffic at Asheville and this is
the fourth conviction against Black
since he was given a pardon by the
governor conditioned on good be-
hayior. Asked about the matter. Gov
ernor Kitchin said thar he cannot
take any action as to revocation OF
pardon until there is some official in
formation put before him. And that
the certified records OF the convic-
tions should be presented TO him by
those who are clambering for the re-
vocation. Indeed. under the law, he
says, he cannot act until this is done.
And that the revocation might have
been ordered after the first convie-
tion IL this certification had been
made following that conviction.
anyway ne cannot act without such
official certification OF the convic-
tions that show violation OF the con-
dition Of the pardon.
