The Pharmacy Bill.

Editor of The Times Dspatch:
Sir,-In your issue OF january 4th, under
"Druggists Not to Offer Bills you state
that "the so-called pharmacy bill and the
proposed measure designed to regulate the
sale of patent and proprietary medicine,
etc. We're rejected.
AS matter of fact these bills We're
not rejected, but simply laid upon the
table until the next regular meeting of the
association.
The bill designed to regulate the sale
of patent and proprietary medicines, was
too sweeping In it's provisions for the
majority of those present: yet many of
those opposed TO the bill were of the opin-
Ion that some measure was needed to con-
troll the sale of such preparations as con-
tanned polsons
The pharmacy bill was not seriously OPP
/ posed save the section relating To the
registration OF assistant pharmacists and
certain ambiguous Language relative TO
the sale OF laudanum.
The mere fact that two committees,
composed of some OF the most prominent
drag men In the city were appointed. in
dicate Tint the labor Of the association
along these lines, was not rejected but
that legislation WAS contemplated as soon
as pharmacy bill and bill to control
certain patent and proprietary medicines,
fair and Just to ALL could be drawn.
Sincerely,
oL,hnaand, Va IA w AZ

evidence that the defendant hazed Gay

him TO perform mo 1G," usual form

Decatur admitted that he had ordered
Church to come to his Decatur's) room,
and that some one in his presence had
ordered Church to perform as specified.
He denied however that he gave the
order. Decaturs explanation of his rea-
son for ordering Church to the room
was that he had smiled in the ranks and
was to be reprimanded.

Church to come to his room or to give
him any orders whatsoever except as an

A Menace to the South.

"A Menace to the South.
In communication to The Times-Ds.
4 patch, Major James III. Dooley directs
attention to the danger to the South as
he sees It,, of committing to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, or to any other
administrative body, the power to fix
railroad rates.
Major Dooley cites history to show that
the North and West have ever used the
powers of Federal government to enrich
themselves at the expense of the South.
The South was kept down for a long
period of time, but has now developed
into great trading and manufacturing
section, and the North and West are
alarmed.
The South has now become dangerous
competitor in making iron. in mining
coal, in manufacturing cotton, and in
other branches of industry.
This development is due largely, in
some instances entirely. to the liberality
OF the rairoads-or, IL 1t must come out,
to discriminating rates.
Capital is raised to start new indus
try on some Southern road. The promo
ter says to the railroad manager: 81 can
sell my product at such and such price,
delivered at the railroad If you can
give me such and such rate, I can sell
in the Northern and Western markets in
competition with manufacturers in those
sections,
If 1t is promising business. the rail
roads will haul the stuff as low as cost
II necessary, in order to build up new
settlement and make traffic.
The result is that Southern industry
has wondrously' progressed. and the
North and West are feeling the compe-
tition.
Now suppose the Interstate Commerce
Commission is given power to fix the
maximum and minimum rate upon COM
plant. of persons or communities that
may charge that there is a discrimina-
ton against them.
The commission is composed In the main
of Northern and Western men. The
North and West are allies against the
South In all cases of discrimination in
favor OF the South, what will the deci-
sion be?
Give this power to the Federal govern
ment and no Southern man will ever be
elected to the presidency. The North and
West VIII see to that. Our cities and
ports will soon have passed the zenith of
their greatness. and viii decline. The
factories. foundries and mines. and all
our infant Industries will be closed
If Southern men in Congress will stand
together they can defeat this measure
Such is a brief outline of Major Dooley's
article. 1t is a view which has doubtless
not presented itself to the people of the
South, possibly not to a Southern con-
gresham. But 1t IS view that should
be considered most seriously by all our
representatives before toy give their
votes to measure which will take from
Southern railroads the power to develop
Southern industry and trade by differen-
tial rates.
