SENATE COM MiTTEE.
Considered Trust Question and Ad-
iourned Until Tomorrow

Washington, Feb. 12.-The senate COM
mittee on judiciary continued its con-
sideration of the trust question today
and after holding two sessions adjourned
until tomorrow. The committee was es-
pecially concerned today in an effort to
so amend the Littlefield bill as not to
make it burdensome TO small corpora
tions. 1t practically is the unanimous
opinion of the committee that a bill
should be enacted into law. but there is
much difference as 10 the phraseology 10
be employed. There also Is practical
unanimity as to the desirability of max
ing the proposed law apply TO corpora
lions which are capable OF becoming OPP
pressive in their operation and of re-
lieving those which are beneficent in
their operations and are not extensive
enough 10 require close supervision. The
committee is finding difficulty in defin-
ing a line OF demarcation. but the mem
bers express the belief that a way will
be found out of the difficulty and that
the bill will be SO modified as not to
make it onerous upon small concerns.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

The sure characteristic of a sound and strong
mind is to find in everything those certain bounds
on either side of which there is an extreme. These
boundaries are marked out by a very fine line
which only good sense and attention can discover.
It is much too fine for vulgar eyes. In manners,
this line is good breeding: beyond it is trouble
some ceremony; short of it, is unbecoming negli-
gence and inattention. In morals, it divides
ostentatious puritanism from criminal relaxation;
in religion, superstition from impiety; and in
short, every virtue from it's kindred vice or weak
ness. I think you have sense enough to discover
the line; keep it always in your eye, and learn to
walk upon it.-From Lord Chesterfeld's Letters
to his Son.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-07-21

some kind of club for you farmers, your wives
and young folks. There is no surer wav of holm

thing that will make your homes brighter, vor

and your business more profitable. You sorelv
need to come together in this way for friendly
counsel and for social improvement, and your
neighborhood will never be what it might be until
you do have such meetings.

But we have written enough, kind reader, and

SLAVERY IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAR
OLINA. By John Spencer Bassett. 12
pages. Is cents. Johns Hopkins Press, Bal
timore, Md.
1t is unnecessary to say that the author of this
work is the well known professor of history and
political science in Trinity College, this State.
DR.. Bassett does not attempt a description OF
plantation life, but deals only with the historical
aspects of his subject. He has searched the news
paper files, the acts of the Legislatures, and the
publications. of prominent writer's for material
and the result is a treasury of facts regarding
the growth of slavery in this State, and the attl-
tude of our law makers, our courts, and our
churches toward the bondsmen and the free ne
groes. The growth of pro2slavery sentiment IN
this State after 1880 and the steady restriction
of negro freedom after that date, receive especial
attention.
