Manning, Jan. 11.?Word just re^ ceived brings the intelligence of the killing of Willie King, about 20 years of age, living on Miss Abbie Drake's place, about half a mile from Summerton, at 11 o'clock Saturday night at the hands of Willie McLeod. King was called to his door and upon his appearance was shot and instantly killed. The gun was fired at such close range that the load ignited his shirt. Coroner J. E. Hodge was wired for and empaneled a jury, who, after due | deliberation, rendered a verdict that King came to his death at the hands j of Willie McLeod, from gunshot I wounds, and that Rita, the dead man's wife was an accessory before the .fact. All the parties connected with this affair are negroes. They are both under arrest. WILSON REAPPOINTED. Roosevelt Again Puts Negro Postmaster at Florence. Washington, Jan. 6.?Joshua Wilson, the negro postmaster at Florence, has again been named by President Roosevelt for another term against the-united protest of the business men of Florence. Wilson's term expired last January ?nearly a year ago?and the president, then ignoring the protests of the Florence business men and Representative Ellerbe, sent in his name to the senate, which did not confirm the nomination. Wilson served on through the recess and now the president names him again. Representative Ellerbe has got active in the matter and has seen sevn# tVia eonatnrn CI CLL VI tuv WVUMWav. It is practically certain that unless a cog shifts somewhere Wilson will not be confirmed during the adminis- i tration of President Roosevelt. It remains, therefore, to be seen whether Mr. Taft will reappoint him. YOUNG MEN!

Decision by, United States Circuit Court of Appeals. . New Orleans, Jan. 6.?A decision of vast importance to the South and Southwest, because it affects the question of an increase in freight rates on practically all the railroads in those sections, was handed down here to-day, by the United States cir|cuit court of appeals, reversing the | decree of Judge Emory Speer of the I Southern district of Georgia, which restrained the defendant railroad i from putting the proposed increased j I freight tariffs into effect. The decision was in the case of the j Atlantic Coast Line Railroad com- j pany and others, appellants, against the Mason Grocery Company, appel- j lees. The opinion was by Judge McCormick, Judge Pardee concurring. Judge Shelby dissented. It is exDected that an appeal will | be taken to the United States Suipreme Court by the shipping interfests, although the question of the proposed increase in rates is at present before the interstate commerce commission.
