The Northern Securities Company.

Has the President found time to study

month ago, by Judge LocHREN Of the
United States Court, in the suit begun by
Minnesota against the Northern Securi-

preparation of his next Annual Message

Judge, who had heard arguments by

some two years ago, he undertook, at
Minneapolis, in the same State Of Min
nesota, TO reconstruct and restate that
normal relation Of Government to capital
which has existed far beyond the memory
of living man.
The suit was begun by Minnesota
pany, as the President can read in the
lucid statement by Judge LoCHREE, on
the averment that the formation and
existence Of that company are in viola
ton OF the laws Of Minnesota, which
prohibit combinations or conspiracies in
restraint Of tra<e, and the consolidation
of parallel or competing lines Of rail-
way
Both OF the laws relied upon, Ms the
President will perceive, are Minnesota

AguinaldO's Railway Project

EMILIO AGUlNALDO, of whom Amer-
cans outside Of Manila have heard little
during the last few months, has betrayed
the anti-Inperialists in a most dastardly
manner He has issued circular letter,
addressed to all Filipinos, urging them to
stop gambling and cock-tighting and to
attend the public schools, learn trades
and seek employment,
The revolution business is not as good
as ii once was in the Philippines. AGUI-
NALDO recognizes the altered conditions
due TO American rule in the islands, and
sees that his countrymen must change
their habits in order TO conform to the
new situation.
One of the projects which AGUINALDO
urges his friends to pursue is the con-
struction of q railroad from northern to
southern Luzon. He thinks the COM
pany should be organized by Filipinos
and the capital supplied by native resi-
dents of the island of LuZon. That such
a line would be of great benefit in the
development of the country is obvious,
but AGUINALDo's championship Of the
plan liz as interesting as the scheme
itself. IL he advocates such an enter
prise in good faith, it is plain that he re-
CARDS American occupancy OF the islands
for the present AS fact Useless to dis
pute, but to he accepted and utilized for
their best advantage. He realizes, I'M
doubtedly, that nothing will win 80 large
IA measure of internal freedom for the
islands from their present rulers as the
commercial development Of the local
Industries by the natives themselves.
IL AGUINALDO il not sincere in his
advocacy OF this commercial enterprise,
but Is attempting 10 organize railroad
company for political purposes, or sim
ply To reap personal fortune from trust
ful Filipino investors, his experiment
will be interesting and may be- impOr-
tant At present il il safe to regard him
as truly DESTROYS Of building railroad
| for the Uses Of commerce, and his colln-
trymeD wherever resident, will do well
10 follow his advice, stop gambling, sd,l-
cate themselves and W 10 work.

The inconsistencies Of the Bailey Auto
mobile law In lts application 70 the registry
Of automobiles In New York city havs besn
clearly defined Because cf those defects
the law was recently declarsd by the Court
Of Special Sessions to be unconstitutional
Nov another feature Of tho obnoxious
measure Ia to be seen In its true light outside
OF the metropolis. namely. on Long lslAnd.
We refer to the section Of TIE law par
hitting the erection Of signbosads here and
there In towns and villages directing that
automobiles shall DO run not faster than
eight miles an hour within certain limits.
This section provides that eight miles an
hour shall 10 the maximum speed Of motor
vehicles when within one-haH mile al any
post otfice In the State. IL the authorities
having control Of the highway or highways
within such distance indicate that auto
mobiles must slow down TO eight miles By
erecting on the side Of tho road siGna to that
effect. Town authorities are practically
empowered to place these signs - far apart
as they like
Provided that II the territory bsyoad the said
limit of one half milo Of any post oi1os y built up
TO such an extent that IN fhs Judgment 81 ne ovfos-
tHcs having control Of such highway or Highways
speed should be reduced beyond such half mile init
Of the post ONCE that then In such case the author
II es having charge of such highway OF highWays
may erect such signp0sts at greater distance than
one half mile Of such post once and 81 the limit Of
such uilt-up portion Of tho highway, and there
upon no automobile shall be run within such dis
lance thus established At rate of speed In excess Of
eight miles per hour"
1t will be seen that by the terms Of this
clause the phrase built up Is rendered
meaningless, so far as concerns towns and
villages inasmuch a. its Interpretation il
left entirely to the local authorities. More
over, this portion Of the law robs Of all its
significance the provision contained In q
former section that
No ordinance rule or regulation adopted By
the authorities Of any municipality shall
require an automobile motor vshio's 70 tTave. ..
q slower rate Of speed than twenty miles per hour
within any town village outside Of the territory
within which the speed Is restricted by the AtteI
part OF this section
Contrary to the prediction OF some Of the
deluded individuals who urged the pas
sage of the Bailey measure, the police au-
thorites on Long Island. or at least very
many Of them, have seized upon the oppor.
tunity afforded by the law to erect oight-
mile-an-hour signs virtually from one end
Of the territory under their control to the
other. Whether the houses are 100 feet
or several hundred feet apart, the auto
mobilist finds himself liable to arrest II he
exceeds speed OF eight miles an hour-the
limit allowed in the heart Of city.

The Sewerage Question,

A meeting of the citizens of
Brookhaven was held at the court
house last night to consider the
question of sewerage. Mr.. H.
Cassidy was elected chairman and
Mr.. M. D. McGrath, Secretary.
The subject was discussed by
Messrs. H. Cassidy, F. H. Hart
man, G. I. Chandler, P. q. Jones,
and others, both as relates to the
necessity and the ways and means.
DR.. Scion Wilson, who was pres
ent, was called upon by the chair
man for professional opinion
on the subject, and heartily en-
dorsed the proposition as a nee
essity, citing the numerous cases
of typhoid fever which have pre-
vailed in the recent past and now
existing as an evidence of a lack
of proper sanitation.
A resolution that it was the
sense of the meeting that sewer
age was a necessity, was adopted
with but one dissenting vote.
The election is going on today.
Vote for sewerage and get your
neighbour to vote also.
It is estimated that the $50, 200
bond issue proposed will necessi-
tate the addition of one mill to the
city's tax levy.

Graded School Notice.

. Brookhaven Graded School will
open on Monday, September Z.
It is earnestly desired that every
pupil should be there on the first
day. Some parents have an idea
that a delay of a few days or few
weeks in entering their children
will not seriously effect their
school work, but this is grave
mistake, In many cases such
delay will result in the chiId's
having to enter a lower grade than
if he had been present at the be-
ginning.
For The benefit of new pupils,
as also for those who failed to
take or failed to pass in..the spring
examination, the afternoons of the
first three days, Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, will be de-
voted to entrance exami nations.
1t is especially urged that all who
have to take these examinations be
present on these occasions.
After the first day the daily ses-
sions will begin at $50 O'Clock
each morning until the season re
quires change to a later hour.
Parents and other visitors will
be welcomed at any time during
the session, but they are especially
invited to be present on the open
ing morning.
Very respectfully,
[. p. SCOTT, Principal.

FIRST NEW COTTON.
Two Bales Brought in by. J. R. McGehce
and Geo. Ivey.
McGrath & Sons Buy the First Bale,
[. COhn & Bros. the Second.

The first bale of new cotton
reached Brookhaven Monday. 1t
was raised Dy j. r. McGehee, a
thrifty farmer of this county,
near Montgomery Station. 1t
weighed $40 pounds, classed as
middling and sold at auction for
$4,000, which included John Nc
Grath & Sons premium. Will
Turnbough acted as auctioneer on
the public square and made a good
one causing, much amusement by
his happy hits. The buyers were
John McGrath- & Sons, who ship
ped the bale to Lehman, Stern &
Co., New Orleans.
The second bale was brought in
yesterday, Tuesday, by Geo. W.
Ivey, a well known farmer of Fair
River. This classed as middling,
weighed 538 pounds and was pur-
chased by Messrs. L. Cohn 6 Bros.
at - cents. Mr.. Ivey also re-
ceived as a premium a barrel of
flour.
The Leader of Aug. 6, 1902, con-
tains the following record of the
first bales:
Last year the first bale of cotton
was brought to this city on Aug.
18th, by John Ballard, of Law
renee county, but it was not a
prize winner, because it fell be-
low the specifications. Following
close upon this, on the 10Th,
George w. Magee, of Blountville,
drove into town and soon claimed
L. Cohn & Bros, $500 cash
prize and sold his cotton to this
firm at IA cents. This year,
Aug. 5, marks another epoch in
the history of cotton prizes in
Brookhaven, and George W. Ma
gee again bears off 1.-The laurels''
and takes the prize of $25 cash
money from l.. COIN & Bros.
The bale weighed $50 pounds,
classed as strict middling, and
was sold to Messrs. L. COIN &
Bros. for 81 cts, who shipped it
to Julias Weiss & Co., New Oh
leans. Including the prize money,
the bale brought Mr.. Magee
$63. 25, or IA 1-16 cents per pound.
