viii Attack Many Trusts.

Will Attack Many Trusts.
The prosecution Of the Standard Oil
trust is but an incident in the Presi-
dents battle plan. Already plans are
well under way to test the strength Of
half dozen other of the most power
full corporations.
The determination of the administra-
ton to weed out the trust evil root,
branch, and flower was eloquently
demonstrated in the senate Saturday.
The attorney general was to supply
congress with list of the trusts
against which proceedings have been
instituted.
List Of the Suits.
This is the list with which Mr..
Moody startled the senate and demon
strated the earnestness of President
Roosevelt's warfare:
Criminal proceedings against the
Standard Oil company.
Suit to enjoin the tobacco trust.
Suit to enjoin the elevator trust.
Suit to enjoin the drug trust.
Suit against the beef trust.
Suit to enjoin the Northwestern Pa
per trust.
Indictment of persons connected
with the elevator trust.
Suits to punish railroads for rebates
given to the sugar trust.
Suit against the st. Louis Terminal
association of st. Louis.

to this appropriation being called q

ward to-day received letter from editor
w. f. Thompson, of the Tradesmen,
giving an interesting synopsis of the In.
with President Roosevelt, Secretary of
WarTaft and Chairman Shoonts, of the
Panama Canal Commission concerning
the suggestion that the loafing negro
element of the South be put to work on
the canal. 5
The present race troubles In the South,
1t was agreed at Washington, were being
exploited abroad to such an extent that
1t was practically impossible to get de-
sirable class Of immigrants to como
South.
The canal officials said that II any
scheme could be adopted at the Nash
vile immigration commission, that the
Southern States could put into law to get
these idle negroes to Panama, that the
commission could use twenty thousand
right away.

Killed at Mccormick.
Henderson Mail, October 27.]

r. Il. Wells, saw mill man, was shot
and killed ct Mccormick yesterday by
Clinton Harmon and his brother, William
Harmon. According to the accounts
that reached Anderson this morning
Clinton Harmon and his wife have not
been living happily together. Harmon
suspected Wells of undue intimacy with
her, and yesterday he and his brother
went to the saw mill where Wells was at
work. Harmon drew a shotgun and
ordered Wells to throw up his hands.
Wells threw up one hand and ran the
other hand into his pocket as if to draw
a pistol. Harmon then flred and Wells
fell to the ground. AS he fell Harmon's
brother also fred. 1t is not known
which shot caused death, but Wells died
almost instantly.
The coroner's jury charged the Har-
mons with murder, and they have been
lodged in Jail at Abbeville. Wells home
was In Alabama. He has been living at
Mccormick for about two years, and
was we'll thought of. There are conflict
ing stories as to Harmon's treatment of
his wife, and it is said that public SYM
pathy is not wholly on his side in the
matter. The Harmons are nephews of
