MARCUS HOOK
OIL TRADE

Some years ago the Standard
Oil Company had things its own
way at Marcus Hook. But now
that there are independent lines
the Standard wants control.
The two big Independent con-
Germs at Marcus Hook are the Uni
ted Pipe Line Company and the
Uuion Company. Another concern
outside the trust there Is Crew,
Levlck g. Company. When Inquiry
was made at the Office OF the Stand
ard OH Company in Philadelphia.
regarding the matter the answer
was given in a rather guarded
manner. 1--WE cannot say auv-
thing about it."
There 10 one man 10 the United
Company, who will fight to his ut.
most to prevent it from being alb.
so-bed by the Standard. His name
is Lewis Emery who owns oil
plants at Bradford. and who it IS
stated. has lost two fortunes iu
fighting the Trust. From what
could be learned he, however. does
not own the controlling interest in
the United Company.
From different shipping men, it
was ascertained that the Standard
Company, which now owns a large
fleet Of tankers. was buying all the
vessels OF this type it possibly could
with the view OF preventing to its
greatest extent, the new com anies
from getting steamers totake away
their oil. So pushed, it is ascer.
tained, were the new companies

schooners have been 10 the Russian
oil exporting trade. A few that
traded out OF Bakou have arrived
here. and others are soon to follow.

The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1901-07-19

with such surplus as he can for sale
or exchange to crafty such desires
or ambitions as he may have for him
self or his family. His life calls for
very little. He needs no store Of fuel
for a bitter winter; he needs no over
coats, no shoes for his children, no
buggy in which to drive to town; he
needs DO barns of hay and grain to
feed his cattle through a long winter.
Cotton and calico viii clothe the fam
lily, and the women of the household
will braid a straw hat that is best
suited for the climate. Carpets would
be a nuisance and a home for fleas.
In all that, the life is primitive in the
extreme.
AS a rule, the guajiro is illiterate,
and satisfied to be so. The outside
world interests him little and troubles
him less School facilities have not
been abundant under the Spanish
regime, and there is some question of
his enthusiasm over the Introduction
of school systems under the American
control of Cuban affairs. Newspapers
reach his vicinity, and there is always
some one who can and does read aloud
for the edifcation of the community.
All this, the rude home, the narrow
life, the illiteracy, is not to be unchar-
itably charged against the guajirO to
his discredit.
Americas special interest in this
group at the present time is, or should
be, in it's place in that political future
OF the island in which America is SO
deeply concerned, and for which she
has assumed such important RESPONSE
bility. To some extent the guajirc
took part in the Cuban insurrection
Yet 1t is doubtful If anything more
than a small percentage took any &C
tive part in the operations. The great
