TRUSTS.
| Recently the business and political
worlds have been startled by great
combinations of capitf.i seeking to drive
smaller competing industries to the
wall and to acquire complete control of
the products and supply of certain arti-
cles of trade which are necessaries and
which the people must have at almost
| any price. In a great many instances
these combinations have been success
full in their efforts to control the ma
tional market and the power they
-!a.1 Is immense. There Is no ooubt
that II has taken business ability OF O
high order thus to gain control OF a
commodity and that without this abil-
! ity II could ncsS ha.r been done. 1T is
also true that the trusts, IL rightly
conducted. could be Of benefit instead
OF an evil to the consumer. But as
soon as q monopoly is ncqufred the
tendency is to oppress, and with the

the volcanic horror in Martinique,

Pretty much everybody is an anti
monopolist. Many notable instances
are on record where those who have
walled loudest and longest against
large aggregations of wealth, when
they had a chance TO make and save
few dollars, changed their views
with neatness and dispatch. 1t is not
so very long ago that Coxey and his
army marched across this land only
to be told to keep off the grass at
Washington. That was in 1895 and
the other day, in this year of our Lord
1902, j. S Coxey incorporated the
Coxey Silica Sand Company in Mary
land with 100000 capital. Now, if
he wants to, he can recruit his army
and pay his army something for their
time and trouble He is on the side
of capital now and like most capital
lists is getting all he can and keeping
all he gets.

Prosecutor Clute is sending out no.
tees to the supervisors and township
clerks of the county urging more care
in the selection of names for petit
jurors. The method of picking out
men for the jury is by the clerk and
supervisor making out list of names
on the day the board of review meets.
This list is returned to the county
seat and when it is necessary 10 make
up a circuit court jury the sheriff
draws names from the hat or box. 1t
thus happens that man may be on
the list prepared by the supervisor
and clerk and yet not be called upon
to serve. The prosecutors letter is
doubtless prompted by the desire of
some of the township officers to be
funny, putting on their list the names
of men who have no natural qualifica-
tions and whose selection will make
the community smile. This is what
causes many disagreements and adds
cost to the conduct of the court sys-
tenn of the county.

Commercial Africa in 1901" is the
title of a monograph which will be
published by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics in its forthcoming issue of
the Monthly Summary. 1t presents
an elaborate study of the present
growing demands of that great con-
tinent, and the market offered for
American goods in its various sections
Africa occupies fourth place in the
list of the grand divisions of the world
in its consuming power in relation to
international commerce, the imports
of the grand divisions being, at the
latest available date, in round figures
Europe, $500, 900, 600: North America

this total of 1850, 900, 900, the I'm
tied States supplies per cent in the
case of Africa, 10 per cent of the i'm
ports of South America, 10 per cent
of those of Asia and Oceanico, Ii per
cent of those of Europe, and 40 per
cent of the imports of North Ameri-
can countries exclusive of the United
States.
The total foreign commerce of At
RIGA is estimated at 0,0O0,0 00 Of
which about $3.50, 900 represents
IMPORTS and 100000 exports. OF the
exports, especially those from the

Railroad development in Africa
has been rapid in the past few years
and seems but beginning of a great
system which must contribute to the
rapid development, civilization and
enlightenment of the dark continent.
Railroads already extend north from
Cape Colony about 1900 miles and
south from Cairo about 200 miles,
thus making 200 miles of the "Cape
to Cairo railroad complete, while
the intermediate distance is about
5000 miles.

SO he died for his n? That is tine
More than most OF us do.
But say, can you add To that line
That he lived for IL, tooY
In his death he bore witness AT last
As martyr TO truth.
Did his life do the same in the past
From the days OF his youth:
IL is easy TO die. Men have died
For a wish or whim-
From bravado or passion or pride
Was IL harder for himf
But TO ltve-every day to live ont
All the truth that he dreamt.
While his friends met his conduct with doubt
And the world with contempt;
Was IL thus that ne plodded ahead
Never turning asidey
Then well talk OF the life that he led,
Never mind how he died.

Mr.. Eliphalet Case, for more than so
years resident of the town of Hick-
man, died suddenly. Tuesday night last.
The Immediate cause of his death Is
supposed to have been hemorrhage of
the brain. Ee had been afflicted for a
number Of years but recently was en-
Toying improved health, and no one felt
any immediate apprehension of his
death. About II o'clock, after he had
gone to bed, he got up and got a glass
of water, and on returning to bed, died
IN few minutes.
Mr.. Case was born in Indiana Jan.
3, 1921 He was left an orphan when a
small child, and for several years was
thrown upon the charity of the county
authorities of Daviess county, KY. Lat
er he was apprenticed to learn the tai
lor's trade. Many times have we heard
him. with. tears in his eyes, recount the
hardships and cruelties to which he
was subjected during this period of his
life ; and also some subsequent years of
his wanderings and waywardness. In
June, 1912, he located in Hickman. then
known as Mills Point, and opened tai
lor shop here. For 30 years thereafter
he carried on very successful trade.
amassing handsome property in the
meantime.
For many years he was prominently
sdsutified with the business interests o
this community. He has filed the no
sitions of Mayor and Councilman a
number OF terms, and for Is or 20 years
was postmaster. He has been retired
from any active business for some years.
but IN the days of his activity he was a
prominent factor in the community's
welfare. He was an earnest advocate
OF whatever cause he espoused, politi-
cal, religious or moral. He was siren
uous advocate of temperance and prohi-
bition, but the browning glory of his
life was his friendship for orphan chill
dren. He had no children of his own.
but had raised and educated number.
some OF whom yet live TO honor his
memory For many years of his past
life he was an earnest member of the
Baptist church, and the chief pillar and
support of that church in Hickman
All in all he was good man, useful
citizen, and this people are all the better
that he hath lived amongst so many
years.
