During the last two OF three years
the people have heard great deal
abott trusts but comparatively few
know just how they are icfmed; and
fewer still have anything approaching
to an adequate conception OF their plum
dering operations. We have nowhere
seen better brief history Of them and
their work than Is given By a writer In

Merchants, or rather spectators. tired

There are about $4,000 railway sta
lions in the United States anu only
eight per cent Of these are junction
points, A still smaller per cent are
junction points OF parallel competing
lines. SO we must conclude that rail-
ways are a natural monopoly which
competition cannot IN any considerable
degree disturb. Consolidation Is de-
sirable because it reduces the number
Of presidents and staff officers, heads Of
departments, general officers.
repair shops and the rest. Labor and
Material are more economically used
and the public is better served. But
what the people object to is being
placed at the mercy OF the railroads.
All natural monop0iies must be con-
troled BY the people.

upwards, to think how he outdone the house,

second floor from the top our friend thought
he might as we'll try to slow up little, but to

Mr.. Editor: Please give ne spac.

speak Of all the boys of old Duplin
that are deserving praise, for many
of the. have left their foot prints
upon the sands of time, and Others
are fast mal-ing their way up to the
highest seat i'm the temple OF fame.
But the particular one that de-

after graduating at the College OF
Physicians and Sun geons in Balti.
more. Shortly after reaching that
city in the Land of Flowers, he re-
celved an appointment IN st. Luke's
Hospital where he exhibited rare
abilities as young physician, and as
a proof of the high esteem, i'm which
he is held i'm his new home, copy
the following from the Times Union,
paper that is published in Jackson
vile. The reporter, in absorption
of 81. Luke's Hospital says: SIN the

OF confinement cases. The resident
Physician, who has sole charge of all
the patients, their diet, their care
and their treatment, is DIR. Claude
Joyner, and to him all the nurses
and employees look for orders. That
work is thorough and all that can be
desired is but necessary to visit the
hospital to See. The we'll kept wards
and the neatness and dispatch with
which all the work goes on speaks
volumes for his ability"
But brighter field has opened tor
him, and he is now doing "a success
ful practice in the city of Jackson
vile, where he is, no doubt, laying
foundation for a bright future. The
following quotation from The Me
tropolis, a daily evening journal pub
lished in that city says: "The many
friends Of Mrs. Cooper, will be plea
ed to learn that under the skillful
treatment of DR.. G. Joyner, during
the past two months, she is now able
to go North for the summer, after
battling all medical treatment"
This young maii is from the hum

small planter i'll this county, and
when young Joyner conceived the
idea of becoming doctor, many
difficulties stood in his path--ditii
culties that seemed almost insur-
mOuntable-but like DIR. Young, the
philosopher, whose maxim was,
"any man can do what another man
has done," he started out in search
of the knowledge necessary to quail

and by economy, industry and per-

culties, and is now fast rising into
notice, and is, no doubt, destined to
be bright star III the medical fra
