THE SOUTHERN GIRL.
She is the Most Charming, Happy and Blessed of Columbia
 Daughters

In concluding an editorial in- spired by Southern girls regret that she cannot go to college, Ed ward Box, Tn the April Ladies
 Home Journal, has this to say of the Southland "The Southern girl Is surrounded by life far truer and more conducive to self-devel- opment than girls living in other sections, because social conditions are more normal. Her life is
 healthier because 1t Is saner, and
 her mind, by reason of it, Is clear CT and more constantly at rest.
 The rush of life of the North and
 West is not so stimulating as many
 Southern girls suppose. On the contrary, it wears women out as
 often as it develops them. In no
 part of our country do women
 look younger at maturity than in
 the South. To the Southern girl, too, Nature blooms in profusion as she does nowhere else. The
 natural history which the North ern girl must get out of books the Southern girl gets direct from Ma ture $ own hand. She is born of soil as rich and colorful in roman tic history as is the literature of Spain. This she receives as nat ural heritage. Her parents are, and her ancestors were, among the best types of American chival- ry and American womanhood. She
 hears but one language spoken, and that is her own. If there is the introduction of another tongue its French, and with these two she can travel the world over and nev- CT be at d disadvantage. The re- ligion which she learns from her mother is the highest and best be- cause it is unattainted with modern revelations. The truest friend and safest teacher in highest liv- Ing girl can have is her mother, and in the south mothers have a way of finding time for their and being companions to them. The southern father is fond of his children, and proves it by his presence at the domestic hearth after his days business is over.

Sherman law has been decided af- firmatively more than once, but that the act only clothes the Feder- al courts with jurisdiction over q monopoly or trade that comes un- der the classification of interna- tional or interstate commerce. According to his interpretation, trusts which are chartered as cor poratiens under the laws of any one of the States are not subject to the provisions of the antitrust law. He cites the decision in the litigation against the Sugar Trust which was handed down in 1894 in support of his view. He does not express an opinion that these com pines are controllable, but ven- lures the statement that "if amend ble to any law, they are amenable to the laws of the resective States.
 If Attorney Griggs is right in his interpretation of the sherman antitrust law, there seems to be no relief from the trust evil except through an amendment to the Federal Constitution, or organized oppressive legislation by the sever al States. epublic.

In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The drug gist, Mir.

REMEDY BY STATES.

Attorney General Monnett sides with the Federal Attorney General in his interpretation of the trust situation. He agrees with the position of Griggs that the great industrial combines are domestic corporations and must be controlled by the States The Federal Government, he says, under the Federal Consti- tuition as we'll as the Sherman act, can only deal with inter state commerce.
 Mr. Monnett's reasoning IS that nearly every corporation receives it's charter primarily from a State and exercises its franchises in such State purely at the will of the State courts, which have the power to vacate  the charter of any corporation which ofiends against the pub lie policy or violates the terms of the statute creating it.
 The opinion of Attorney Gen erai Monnett is of especial weightin this matter. Since his entrance into office he has made stubborn and persistent fight against monopolies that have been violating the laws of Ohio, notably against the Standard Oil Trust, which is the proto- type of unlawful combines. He has pending in the Supreme and other courts of his State % cas- es against offending trusts, and his knowledge of the legal rene dies available to check the mo- nopoly evil is no doubt full and accurate.
 He expresses the opinion that the writ of quo warranto, which has been preserved i'll each State constitution, can be invoked through the Attorney Generals of each of the IS States, and that every such corporation can be brought sumnarily in the respective courts of the States, their charters taken from them and their properties placed in the hands of trustees.
 An avalanche of trusts is being precipitated upon the eompeti- tive energies and industries of the country Every week adds toits crushing force and volume. The sooner the concerted test suggested by Mr. Monnett is made the sooner will the people ascertain whether relief by this means is practicable. If not, it is well that they should know the fact so that some other reme- dy can be invoked or invented as soon as possible.
 Trust invasion has reached a point where, unless soon repell- ed, 1t will impose commercial serfdom and control the entire political machinery-Republic

IT IS not the lack of law but the indisposition to enforce it that makes lynching of so ire quent occurrence. Our statutes prescribe severe enough penal ties against this sort of crime if the people would only see that they are carried out. Every man who engages. voluntarily, in lynching when death is in tticted, is according to law a murderer, and the penalty for this otfense is death. Could the legislature make 1t stronger.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

We were recently handed, by Judge l. A. Bird, circular letter to him from Judge Frank Hill, State Commissioner of Agricul- ture, in which it is suggested the advisability of our farmers orga- nizing a Farmers Institute for Drew county.
 The Commissioner kindly offers, upon such an organization being effected, to come and address the meeting and render the farmers all the assistance in his power in di- recting their attention to improved modes, &c., &c.
 We think the suggestion of the Commissioner that d Farmers h. stitute be organized, good one, provided the farmers of the county can be induced to take an interest in it. Whether this can be done or not we are not prepared to say. It might be made an adjunct of the Horticultural Club which they al- ready have, and great lasting bene- fits would most likely result there from.
 Judge Hill, in speaking of the Farmers Institute among other things says, "let 1t be organized in the simplest way and conducted somewhat on the plan of the old fashioned debating club. Elect your president and let his duty be to arrange program and appoint committees, to provide informa- tion along the different lines in which the farmers are interested, and let him communicate with me and fix date for your meetings that will not conflict with dates al- ready fixed elsewhere, and shall take great pleasure in coming to address your meeting.
 trust by this means the farmers of Arkansas may be induced to adopt better methods of farming and grow more profitable crops than they have grown, and there by make farming more renumera- tive and farm life more pleasant. n
 Now, in conformity with the Commissioners views we hope that the leading farmers of our county will take the matter in hand and put the scheme into sue cessful operation. Our columns are open to them for suggestions, the publication of call meetings. &c.
 Let the work of organizing be lnaugurated at once, for every thing or anything that will benefit the farming community should be speedily taken hold of
