resolution of dissolution of March
FL, 1892, forblds such special pro
ceedings, for Il provides that all
Gu standing trust certificates shall
be transferred back into the origi-
nal corporate stocks pro rata.
1t Is we'll remembered fact that
at the time of this great increase
(June, 1900 no official statement
could be got of the purpose of same
nor the reason therefor, and this Is
the explanation of II; this increase
of $Ioo,ooo,ooo of a constituent
member of the trust and one of the
group OF five adds this amount
to the capitalization of the
Standard OIL Trust, with one mil
lion extra shares left over as nice
little sinecure of $763 ,ooo, coo. For
ten years the non liquidating trus-
tees Of the Standard Oil Trust have
not reported to trust certificate
holders on their stewardship,
though they are specifically re-
quired by the trust agreement to
do so.
This dishonest and deceptive
declaration of faith and good will
to investors has been completely
ignored and Is an official acknowl.
edgment that the trust Is not yet
Terminated, that the Standard Oil
monopoly is still in full bloom, al
though strenuous efforts are being
made TO obscure and submerge It's
odlous name into the New Jersey
Standard Oil company.

The Confederate Soldiers Home Asso-

years ago by a special act of the Legis-
lature. The object of characterization was
the same that animated Capt. j. M.
Falkner and mis- associates to erect a
home and place of refuge for the indi-
gent and helpless Confederate soldiers
OF Alabama. Contributions flowed into the
association for the home. The people OF
the State gave literally to the proposed
home. After a while the work seemed
to lag. II was not abandoned, however,
but 1t became quiescent.
Since the success which has attended
the movement began by Captain Falkner
and his associates to build the home al
Mountain Creek, there has been consider
able discussion of thd proposition to
combine the resources of the two organi-
cations, so that the contributions which
had been promised the Birmingham or
ganization could be turned ever to the
Mountain Crek institution.
