On Saturday afternoon from 2
till 3 o'clock a reception was given
TO the Woman's Club al the resi-
deuce OF Mrs j. A. VansSnt. The

AFTER REPUBLICANISM.

John S. Williams, Congressman
from Mississippi in his speech be
fore Congress Probed the trust
question to the core.
We call especial attention to the
following extract:
/ donot sup pee there is a man
in this House tina. roHld deny the
right to any individua. -7eri-
ca to do all the business il
done in America in given ..,-
provided he did il in free compeu-
ton with the world, in an open
and fair field and with equal op-
portunity 10 all other men. Every
body knows thae neither individ-
ual nor corporation can monoPo-
lie any business in that way. /
defy the wiscst Republican on the
other side to give one single soil

ration of a moaCpJAstic comb ma
tioa or a t'1es which has not rested
up01 -..a privileges granted
orr-. = law or by a corporation
united by law to grant them.
There is not one.
Were we to consider this trust
question, with the Republican par
tvs attitude toward it, writing
whole volumes we could not say
more. Republicans are bowling
against trusts but where is the
remedy that as combines would
retire them from business. The
Republican party has given special
privileges by enactnents. The
great corporations exist by the fos-
tering spirit of the Republican
party and that party could correct
the evils Of the combinations il
they would, and would were it not
for their financial interests, think

BEWARE

On Monday we heard a candi
date for a State office invite three
men to 60 into a saloon; we saw
them enter the saloon, but do no,
know what they took. This
method of ingratiating himself into
the public favor did not elevate
him little bit in our estimation.
We do not regard sucn election
eering as commendable or worthy
of praise in any man who aspire.
TO a State office. We would look
with suspicion on his administer.

The Weather.

Wednesday was a dark, gloomy
rainy day. On Thursday and Fri
day the sun shined bright and
warm, and men could comfortably
work out Of doors in shirt sleeves
or light coats. On Saturday and
Sunday there was rain and cold
wind. On Monday q terrific snow
stern, with falling temperature
prevailed all day and far into the
night, resulting by Tuesday into
the heaviest snon OF tine season,
with mercury from 4 to 5 below

BOOK CONTRACTS
TO BE EXTENDED
Will Go Over for Another Year
on Account OF Hitch in
State Board.

It has developed that owing to the
fact that Major W, A. Anderson. Attor-
ney-General and member OF the State
Board OF G0ducation, st1ll remains unwell,
the new State Board Of Education will
not organize promptly. and for that rear
son the existing book contracts for fur
nishtng tho public schools OF the State
with textbooks will be extended for an
other year.
It will be recalled that there has al
ready been an extenaion, which carried
the contracts over until August LIST next.
and now they will be further extended
SO as to make them expire on August
LIST. 1904.
This carries over terrific book
fights, and will save the members of the
new board from having interviews with
agents and attorneys OF companies.
The new board Is composed of the pres
ent members, Governor Montague. DR..
Southall and Major Anderson, and
Messrs. Lyon g. Tyler. ". A. Bovles
and Charles W. Kent, recently shosen.
and two county or city superintendents
yet to be elected.
The candidates for the latter positions
arc superintendents q. 9. Glass, OF
Lynchburg; Frank T. West, OF Louisa,
and W. D. Smith, OF Scott.
These new members will likely be
elected when the board meets for organ
Iization. about the Middle OF June.
