A LA36E TIMBER LAND SALE.

Last week E. V. Dunlevie sold his
large holdings on the East Branch OF
Greenbrier river In Pocahontas county,
West Virginia. to Flint; Ewing 4
Stoner, of Pittsburg, the price paid
being about 100000. In July last
Mr.. Dunlevie purchased these lands
and began building the town of Dun
levie, about two miles north of Trav.
elers' Repose, aud extending railway
from the G Il O. to his timber, much
of which lay over the crest of the AL
leghany Mountain in Highland county,
Virginia. lie was building also a
large and up-to-date saw-mill. Every
thing was on the most approved plans,
and his quarters were superb. His
home at his mill was a IA roomed
house with hot and cold water and
electric lights. The purchase price and
the cost of improvements aggregated
about 100000; so that he has cleaned
up in less than ten months the neat
sum of 100000. This is one Of the
largest deals ever made in the county,
but is not the largest which will be
carried through before the summer is
ended. 1t was reported last week that
Inness & Co. had sold the lands re-
Gently purchased by them on Elk river
at a price nearing million dollars
This was premature. as the deal has
not vet been closed. This leaves the
Dunlevie sale the largest one yet to
take place since Col. John T. McGraw
sold to the Pocahontas Tanning Co.
100, 600 acres several years ago.

THE BATTLE is ON.

If signs do not fail there will be
some doings between the Government
and the "rebaters. There is GER
tainIy some bad blood between the
President and the Sta ndard Oil Com
pany, which bids fair to cause the
liveliest time vet seen between corpo
rations and the Government. Mr.
Henry Fl. Rogers, by far the brainiest
man in the list of wealth gatherers OF
today, has shown some lndiscretion in
his reply to the Presidents special
message. He has also shown more tenn
per than is consistent with wisdom. and
he has therefore turned the Nation e
eve on the Standard Oil Company,
and whether rightfully so or not, that
company must suffer. The country
begins to know that it has been sys'
Dramatically robbed by the trusts, and
there is growing determination not
to destroy them, but to humble them,
to force them to do the thing fol-
which they were legitimately created
and not longer permit them to sap the
life of the Nation. 1t is to be the
common peoples inning. and nothing
now can stop the game. 1t may be a
battle royal, and whilst the trusts
have heretofore been larger than the
Nation, the tables may soon turn, and
these monsters be forced back into
their legitimate and proper sphere
Stir him and Mr.. Roosevelt seems q
dangerous antagonist.

The report cites particular Instances
where the law has been openly or sec
reilly violated, giving names, dates and
places that briug the grand total OF the
railroad Determinations alone up to
three-fourths of million dollars a
year. Mr.. Garfield says in this con-
nectiOn. 81 have called attention TO
these specific instances merely to show
the methods by which discrimination
was attained and the devices which II
legal are still merely devices to obtain
exactly the same results AS would be
obtained by rebates on Interstate bust
ness. II the existing law merely pro
hibits the particular device for obtain
ing discrimination and permits the
same result to be ACCOMPLISHED in
different way, then the legislation is
to that extent sham.

of the country who are entitled to re
lief from the intOlerable burdens tina
this great monopoly has fastened or
the people. The President says very
clearly that the argument so Otter
urged against governmental control o
corporations was that 1t tended t
stifie the spirit of personal initiative OF
which the prosperity of the country
depended. But he says It has been
ahundAntly proved that the tyrauica
corporations which can force even the
railroads to truckle to them and q,

that we must pass laws putting it Ou
of the power OF the railroads to com
ply with the monopOllstic demanda O

too to the feature of the report tina
says not only the Standard Oh Com
pany but the Sugar Trust and othe
great interests have consistently defie,
the law and that it has been the excep
ton rather than the rule for the Ameri

absolutely refuse to relinquish contre

Fight to Overthrow Acts of Assembly

Some of the most importan laws en-
acted by the Legislature since the new
constitution was adopted are menaced
by fight to have the Abingdon dis
pensary bill declared illegal which Is
about to be inaugurated in the Circuit
Court at Abingdon.
The constitutionality of the dispen.
sary act will be challenged The prin
cipal ground upon which the fight is to
be made is non conformity with con-
stitutional provisions in the reading
of the bill. In this case the cunstltu-
tional reading was dispensed with by
the law makers. 1t is commended that
this was in coutlict with the constitu-
tion and that the act stablishing the
dispensary is null and void
Whatever the decision of che Circuit
, Court of Abingdon the case will in all
probability be carried to the highest
court. Ii the Abingdon dispensary
law is declared unconstitutional all OF
the bills passed by the Legislature
| without the full constitutional read
ing being given them are likewise
null and void.
A decision of the Supreme Court
sustaining the allegation of unconsti
tutionaIity would necessitate an i'm
mediate call on the part of the Gov
ernor for a special session of the Gen
eral Assembly.
The first intimation of the contem
plated suit was recorded here severa

Mr. James A. Gar field has made a
report on tile doings of the Standard
Oil Co. He has proved that they are not
only law breakers of the grossest ma
ture, but that they have uniformly
and constantly lied about it. They
have been getting rebates and conces-
sions not given others, for years, and
have been bold and defiant about it
This report is more spirited than the
report on the Beef Trust sent in by
the same party some time ago. That
report became the laughing stock of
the country, but the report just sent
in has changed laughter to tears; it
has squeezed water out of oil stocks,
and cut fantastic capers in Wall Street,
and as the report was accompanied
by special message from the Presl'
dent, there will likely be something
doing at 26 Broadway, where Mr..
Rockefeller and MIR. Rogers spend
much of their time and have desk
room.

RAID EVERY CITY On THE COAST.
Secret Service Men Seized Tons of Tick
cts Held BY Agents Of the Honduras
Lottery.

The simultaneous raids in New York
Philadelphia. Wilmington. Del, and
Gloucester, N. j., on the headquarters
of the Honduras Lottery, the contln .
uation of the Louisiana Lottery, last
week, duplicates manv prominent busi-
ness men, and has struck hard blow
at the lottery concern. which may
eventually put it out of business
Hundreds of arrests are to follow the
raids.
1t is reported that warrant was
issued among others for the arrest OF
John M. Rodgers, president Of the
John M. Rodgers Press Company, OF
Wilmington. where two tons of lottery
tickets were found. The raids were
made by Secret Service Operator Dono.
ghue and several of his men.
Rogers, who has been an eminently
respected and wealthy citizen of Will
mngton for years. was dumfounded by
the raid. When the Louisiana Lottery
was forced out of existence Rogers, it
is alledged, took control of the Will
mington end
The raids on these headquarters were
so arranged and executed by the secret
service men that no word of warning
could be transmitted. Operator Flynn
and three deputy marshals IN New
Y Ork seized the alleged dressmaking
establishment of Mis-. l. Dugan, at 7l6
Seventh Avenue, that city. There one
box of lottery ticket plates and two
boxes holding about 900 tickets each,
were taken.
In Gloucester Operator Griffin, of
Philadelphia. with the other secret ser.
vice men, raided Rogers Drill works.
There four boxes of lottery ticket plates
we're seiz ed. Half an hour later Ope
rator Donoghue, with United States
deputy marshals, closed 10 on the Rog.
ers Press Company of Wilmington, and
the building was put under guard.
In every city along the Atlantic
coast. from Boston to New Orleans,
prominent business men are at present
engaged in backing this wonderfully
profitable enterprise, and their arrest
is but matter of time. These business
men who in many cases hold high so.
clal position hold stock in the lottery.
There are more than 5000 agents EN-
ployed in this work, as well as door
to-door canvassers. All these are, it is
said, scheduled for arrest.

THE B, & O. SELLING COAL PROPER.
TIES.

The B. & o. Railway is selling its
coal properties. This is singular. The
reason has been vainly coDjectured,
but there lare some who think they
know it. Mr.. Bond. vice. president
and chief counsel of the b. Il o.. was
asked by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, why are these thingsS"
and the answer was: 1--WE have gotten
our price" There are a few, and they
must be very few, who believe that
statement. just why man of high
standing like Mr.. Bond should desire
this statement to go out as the real
reason of the sale is unfathomable.
The public laughs at such insincerity.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners must have laughed also. The
reason is oDtainable. 1t is found in
the fact that the Nation has deter
mined to drive railroads out of the
coal buslness-indeed, out of any bust.
ness which comes in direct COMPETE
ton with individuals. 1t has deter.
mined to make them follow their leglt-
innate calling to wit: that of common
carriers. 1t is not, therefore, hard to
discover why the B. & o. is selling its
coal properties, or why it will soon be
selling it's timber properties; in fact;
why it will not let 60 at no distant day
even its hotel properties and all enter
prises which do not fall under the head
of legitimate railroading. 1t will be
seen in the near future that other rail
roads will follow this wise and whole
some example. The Norfolk & West
ern is doomed. 1t will find it's price.
So may the G. s. o. All of them are
to become common carriers.

railroads. Whilst some railroads now

have holdings in almost all profitable
investments along their lines and who
have been very active in squeezing
out the individual, the Southern Rail

The Government sent Mr.. Jam es A.
Garfield out not.long ago to look into
the affairs of the Beef Trust. Then it
sent him to look into the affairs of the
STANDARD Oil Company. In the first
instance he failed miserably. He came
out of the scrimmage with both eyes
open. But in the recent bout he has
come out with both eyes open and has
also given the Standard Oil an eye
opener, and so far as heard from has
not promised immunity to anybody.
Could he have been in consultation
with Mr.. Lawson, of Boston? Certainly
he has had new sources of information.
