L. SHirMAN) Raleigh, N. C, November 9 Ihat the Interstate Commerce Commission ruling restoring the Pullman sur charge, which contravenes the State law will be tested through all courts is a possibility of the near future. During the past week in addition to receiving this interesting item of news, the Capital city entertained the Central Association of the North Carolina Educational Association, nearly one thousand teachers being in the city over the week-end. The unusual also happened when the trac tion company reduced its rates volun tarily. The State Travelers Protective As sociation intends to test the Inter state Comerce Commission ruling re storing the Pullman surcharge In North Carolina. A law, pushed by the organization, has been in effect some years which prevented the rail roads charging this additional amount but the Commerce Comission has ruled that it must be paid in this state the same as in others. This will be a great additional, burden on those who use the trains and the Travelers Organization intends to carry the matter to the highest courts. The surcharge was institut ed as a war measure but since the end of the conflict had not been re moved. A number of interesting and in structive addresses were heard by about one thousand teachers who were in the city over the week-end at the North Carolina Educational Association conference. These meet ings are now held regularly each year and never fail to aid the teach ers in the interchange of their views on teaching. The Carolina Power Company of Raleigh has voluntarily reduced its rates 10 to 15 percent for lighting electricity, the saving to consumers being approximately $200,000 a year. This reduction also applies to the Yadkin Power Company, a sub sidiary and 39 cities and towns which are served are affected by the reduc tions. , These are in Eastern Caroli na towns. During the week, the North Car olina Cotton Growers Association or ganized a subsidiary Company, the North Carolina Cotton Sales Com pany which will handle the sales of the co-ops direct to themills. Dr. B. W. Kilgore and General Manager U. L. Blalock were the organizers and it isKtated the company will be sole ly for .the benefit of the co-op mem bers. It enables' the co-ops to go di rect into the market and compete with other cotton merchants on a parity in selling cotton to the co-op organization. Governor McLean visited Washing ton the early part of the week and returned and issued a proclamation setting aside Armistice Day as a hol iday and calling on the people to ob serve it. Governor McLean wants the inher- ilance tax repealed as a Federal tax and left s a source of revenue for the State. Dr. Clarence Poe, edi tor of the Progressive Farmer, op poses the repeal and says the Gover nors who are urging this haye been hoodwinked as to the real purpose of repeal. Martin McGill was saved from elec trocution last Friday when the Gov ernor commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. He wag sentenced from Union county for killing his wife. W. H. Pittman of the department of education made an address to teachers at Fall River, Mass during the week. Mr. Pittman said he gleaned the idea that the Massachu setts people are apprehensive of the result on their state of the textile boom in North Carolina. The tex tile school of State Colleges won the blue ribbon for its display at State College. The display was an exc?! lent one and showed great skill in weaving. . John G. Dawson, state Democratic chairman, visited the city during the week but reported all quiet in polit ical circles. He does not put much (..ru.r-ued on p.ige i ... HIGHWAY WORKER HURT. Willie Green, a young negro man who works for the Simmons Con struction Corporation was rather bad ly hurt this morning it seems, al though the full extent of his injur ies is not known at present. A bar on a loading machine flew up and struck him on the chin and knocked him unconscious. He was brought to town in a truck and carried to his boarding house where Dr. C, S. Maxwell was called to see him. Green was suffering badly from the shock and it was necessary to wait for an improvement in his condition before making a thorough examina tion of him.
