Lawrence Items.

The Thursdays issue of the
Lawrence County Press contains
the following items of interest to
Leader readers:
Mrs. Cannon's store has been
recently treated to a new roof.
MI. j. @. Boadwee, of Brook
haven, did the work.
Hon. &. Wood Magee is receiv-
ing the congratulations of his
friends on the advent of new
girl at his home. Mr.. Magee, by
the way, has had a few days tus-
sci with the fever, but we are glad
to see him out again. He couldn't
afford to be sick now.
The Lawrence County Baptist
Association convenes with the
Whitesand church, about twenty
miles northeast of this place, day
after tomorrow, the 3rd inst.
This is new association, but for
active work it has very few su-
periors in the State. 1t will be
largely attended.
Prof. j. E. Johnston, principal
of Society High School, and Miss
Maggie Berry, a daughter of Mr..
P. W. Berry, one of Prentiss'
most prominent citizens, were
happily married at the home of
the brides parents last Sunday
evening, the 9th ult., Rev. j. P.
Williams officiating. Our sincere
congratulations and best wishes
are extended.
Rev. j. P. Williams filled his
regular appointment at the Baptist
church last Saturday and Sunday
to the edification of attentive and
lappreciative congregations. At a
conference held Saturday, the
church by a unanimous vote de-
cided to call Bro. Williams for the
year 1904 for half of his time.
This, with Calvary church, will
occupy his full time for next year,
as Calvary has extended call for
two Sundays, and which will en-
able Bro. Williams to do better
work at both places. It is very
gratifying indeed to note the evi-
dence of spiritual growth and
progress thus manifested, and we
guarantee that the members of
Monticello church will not have
cause to regret their action.
The sad intelligence comes of
the death of Mrs. Jerome Wilson
Iat her home near Auburn. Mrs.
Wilson was very worthy and ex-
cellent lady and was about 40
years of age. She leaves a hus-
band and a large family of child

+. KNOCKS KNOX MEASURE
Judge Canty's View of the Knox
Antitrust Law.

Judge; Thomas Canty of the Minnesota
supreme court, who is DESTROYS Of aiding
in the distribution Of. justice is said to
be opposed to the antitrust law sug-
gested by Attorney >, General Knox at
Washington. In a local interview yester-
day Judge Canty is reported to have said,
in effect. that the Knox measure is wholly
impracticable; that the legal position of
the trusts is unassailable; and that. rather
than experiment with vain remedies. the
American people should resign itself to the
will Of Providence and J. Pierpont Nor
gan. -
Judge Canty is even moved to laughter
by the proposal of Mr.. Knox that the
transportation of trust made goods from
one state to another should be prohibited
This declares the Judge. is the most
grotesque remedy ever suggested" Most
necessities of life are controlled by trusts
proposed law Of COAL steel, oil, sugar,
leather, glass, tin, etc. The trusts might
have to decide between quitting business
and obeying the law but they'd prefer tc
quit business.
AS for prohibiting discrimination in rail-
| way rates-such thing was impossible,
Railroads could never be detected. be-
cause like other lawbreakers, they would
| never testify against themselves. This
| had been demonstrated by the failure OF
| the interstate commerce commission to
| convict the railroads., though it was true
| that the commission never had adequate
| authority to force a thorough investiga-
| ton.
| IT would be equally absurd to try to
| make the trusts give up destroying com
| petitors by local competition. The right to
ruin a neighbor's business was sacredly
protected by the federal constitution.

buyer of January. Wall street was somewhat
of a general seller during the forenoon. The
weather from the south was such as to create
apprehension as to its effect upon the movement

showers at numerous other points, although fore
casts were for better conditions.
