There was a lively fire at
Loreauville Sunday that for a
time threatened to destroy the
Maria Refinery. IT the
wind had been blowing in a
different direction the refinery
which cost several hundred
thousand dollars would have
been burned to the ground.
In some unexplained manner
the lodging house where we're
houses all of the white en-
ployees of the refinery caught
fire. t is supposed that
spark from burning Bagasse was
blown through the window and
upon the bed clothing. At any
rate when discovered the fire
was burning fercely from the
upper part of the big house.
Haste was made to get out
the hose from the refinery and
turn the water on but the min
ute the water was turned into
the hose it burst into holes and
pieces and was utterly worthless.
The employees and the resi-
dents of the section formed
bucket brigade then and endea-
vored to fight the flames. But
they were unable to save the
building. There was time to
move out great deal of the
furniture tor the building was
about 200 # long and 50 # in
width.
The bucket brigade fought
to keep the fire from attacking
the refinery and was successful
and the oil tank which was also
close at Fand was saved from the
flames by the fact that the wind
blew the heat in another direc-
ton.
1t was lively fight while it
lasted but a lesson has been
learned probably that will be
profted by. 1t is likely that
hose will hereafter be kept in
condition at the refneries and
that lodging houses and other
buildings will not be quite so
close to the refinery buildings.

TRIAL OF THE STANDARD OIL COM
PANY.

Mr.. Rockefeller denies the
Standard Oil Company has violated
the anti-truft law, declaring that it
is simply corporation like other
corporations and is entitled to the
protection which the law gives to
the rich as we'll as to the poor.
Attorney General Moody is pro-
ceeding against the Standard Oil
with all the force and acumen for
which he is distinguished. 1t is a
question whether he should have
taken part in the litigation as he is
named for the Supreme Court, be-
fore which tribunal this matter of
trusts may come for further decis-
ion. The Standard Oil Company
is a New Jersey corporation. 1t
has capitalization of 10000, 900
and controls 80 per cent of the pc
troleum products of the Uuited
States. The proceeding against it
by the Attorney Gener i is brought
under the Sherman antitrust law,
the question at issue being wheth-
er or not the Standard Oil Com
pany is trust in the meaning of
the law-an aggregation of corpor-
ations illegally brought together
under single management for
the purpose of suppressing legIti-
mate competition and acting in re
straint of tr8de-in short, a mon
opoly, fixing prices to suit itself
and menacing the interests of the
community. A statement issued
by the Attorney General recites
the attorneys for the government
expect to prove and on which they
ask for Judgment declaring the
combustion unlawful, prohibiting
the seventy coporatious concerned
from paying dividends to the hold
ing company, and enjoining it and
them from entering into or per-
forming any further acts in re-
straint of trade. In this case the
Standard Oil Company, however
rich, cannot escape fair trial or
defy the Judgment Of the court.

The principal depressing fac
tor in the cotton market at this
time is the too rapid selling OF
the staple by farmers and mer-
chants. All kinds of mislead-
ing and exaggerated reports re-
garding the congestion of cotton
at congresses and interior
points are being wired all over
Europe and this country tor the
purpose of depressing prices.
1t cannot be denied that the
movement OF the crop to mar
ket during the past 80 days has
been on too extensive a scale to
maintain staple market at
profitable and satisfactory prices
to the growers.
Big crop ideas have been ex-
ploded by indisputable facts.
This crop will not be large
enough to supply the enormous
demands of the cotton trade
during the next twelve months.
The prices of cotton goods in
all lines are weekly advancing.
1t is due entirely to the exist
ence of a "Bearlsh" speculative
market, strengthened by the
too rapid selling of spot cotton
which is forcing down prices
below a fair profitable basis.
This unwarranted and ilIeglt-
innate violation of the true laws
of supply and demand will con-
tinue until spot holders
strengthen their position by a
slower movement OF the staple
to market.
There is but one course to
pursue at this time to bring
about normal conditions. Store
every bale of cotton under good
and safe protection, which can
be possibly held, either on the
farm or in local warehouses.
Higher prices are sure to be re-
allied if the crop is marketed
intelligentIy. The present price
OF cotton is too low. Every
farmer in the South should re-
sist to the last ditch the present
effort to hammer down the
market for purely speculative
Every banker and
in the South should
exert their utmost to assist the
farmers in fighting the "Bear-
ish' speculative cotton trade.
Leading farmers, Merchants
and Bankers in all of the differ
ent cotton growing counties
throughout the cotton belt
should call the people together
in public meetings at once in
their respective communities
and inaugurate an effective
campaign for tying up the crop
until prices are once mere plac-
ed on satisfactory basis. Act
promptly and effectively. 1t is
the wisest and safest step TO
take at this time. Stop the
rapid movement of spot cotton
and the speculative element will
be Powerless to depress the
market.
Yours truly,

RACE PROBLEM SOLUu N

a peaceful solution # The race
problem has been d,<ruv, red by
the New OrleauS p cayul,, at least
that paper gives the fniloni1g as a
method by which negroes aud
whites can live conteu;,d d aud pros
perouS: "The Picayune has long
held that the negro problem in the
United States is to be solved to a
great extent 10y the emigration of
these people to northern states,
where they viii eujoy all political
aud social rights. Thatsthis is to
be their destiny is fnreshadowed
in the fact that a: the distance in
time of forty years since the ne
groes have been set free they are
being elected to imp ,rtant offices
in northern states. In the recent
election in Illinois a negro named
Barnett was elected as one of the
twenty-eig judges of the munich
pal courts. These courts have
jurisdiction of all violations of city
ordinances and Of lesser criminal
offenses. The negro judge will
have cognizance of aAcases that
may come to him without regard
to race, nationality or color. That
settles the status of the negro in
Illinois. In Wisconsin, in the re-
cent election, negro named Pal
mer, was chosen to seat in the
General Assembly to represent the
richest district in the state, COM
posed Of the Third, Fourth and
Seventh wards of the city of Mil
yankee. 1t is plain that there
was no political pressure or condi-
tion that forced the election Of ne
groes in either state, since Illinois,
by the census of 1900, had about
5, 100000 whites and $4,000 ne
groes. In these cases the negroes
were elected to Office because they
were popular enough to get the
votes Not only is there no con-
siderable prejudice against them,
but they are actually wanted as
citizens and officeholders. This is
a condition to which the negroes
can never attain in the south. The
and reliable members
of the race are wanted here as long
as they will continue industrious
and reliable. Those who are am
bilious and want political and So
cial recognition can find both in
the north, aud they will 60 there
for it. Many for the sake of ad-
venture and novelty will go also
Many will fnd wages higher
there than in the south, and they
will go. The idle and worthless
should be kept moving on, and
they will get into northern states,
and thus vast tide of emigration
Of negroes will flow northward,
constantly increasing. AS count
there will be strong
and steady current Of white i'm
from the northern states
10 take part in the enormous deve-
lopment of the rich resources and
extraordinary advantages which |
Jhe south offers. These two counter
currents will operate through the
powerful natural forces of endos-
mosis, by which two fluids of diff
Perent densities shift positions

;he conditions of equilibrium. The
is already in progress,
and it will constantly increase un-
nj the congestion of negroes in the
south and of whites in the north |

STOMACA'S IMPORTANCE
How 10 Strengthen Il So That il Will
Act as II Should.

The stomach is the principal organ
concerned in the digestion OF food. II
it is weak, inactive or out Of ord r. and
unable to properly digest the food the
body will soon be in a state of semi.
starvation.
Then too, when the stomach Is weak,
the food is not properly digested and
lies in it for hours, decomposing, fer
menting and forming poisonous gases
and ptomaines that are absorbed into
the blood, poisoning the system and
impoverishing, the blood.
TO enjoy good health, 1t is absolute
ly necessary that the stomach and dig
estive organs should be strong, and
40 other remedy equals Mona in
strengthening and giving tone to the
whole digestive system.
Relief from the use OF Miona is per.
manent and lasting. Use Mona for
few days and the digestion will be
good, the appetite keen, and there will
be no nausea or distress after eating,
no sleeplessness, no nervousness, and
the head aches, backaches and disturb
ed heart action that are direct results
of weakened stomach, will soon be
overcome.
Mona is sold under an absolute
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded unless the remedy does all that
is claimed for it. Ask VIM. L. Gokay
to show you the guarantee which he
gives with every so cent box.
