BIG COPPER COMBINE

The settlement Of the Amalgamated-
Heinze trouble, which had hitherto
proved an impossible barrier to the I'LL
innate objects Of the Standard Oil in
terests, is regarded as an important
step towards the realization Of still
bigger things.
One report says that the new con-
solidated company will include all the
Amagamated Copper company g inter
tests, with their total capital Of nearly
100000, and properties worth
nearly $250,0O0,00O; the Anaconda COM
pany,. with capital Of $So,ooo,ooo;
the American Smelling & Refining com
pany, capital, $loo,oo6,0oo, and the Sc
curities company, the Calumet & Hecla
Copper company, and the two lead COM
panles.
Standard Oil interests and the Gug-
genheims are named as the people who
are engineering this consolidation. Ii
everything works out favorably the
promoters, it is stated, hope to form
a company second only in Importance
to the United States Steel corporation.

the case last year, the putting out Of
new issues wil1sbe carried too. far, caus-
ing a temporary indigestion. Banks are

Interest in legal circles as it involves

the executive and judicial powers of
the state that is without precedent, so

The habeas corpus hearing is to de-

was convicted Of murder and sen
fenced to be hanged ten days ago in
Cullman county After Governor
Jelks had declined to interfere with
the execution Criminal Judge Samuel
Weaver decided that his court had
jurisdiction to investigate the sanity
of the condemned man. The highest

Judge Weaver, many holding, and
among them Attorney General Wilson,
the opinion that Judge Weaver trans
cended his jurisdiction in ordering a

NEGROES ON TRIAL
For the Murder of Isaac LyerIy, His

Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Salisbury, N. C., Aug. Ga special
term of the Rowan superior court con.
vened today for the trial of the four
negroes accused of the murder of
Isaac Lyerly, his wife and two chill
dren at Barber Junction last month.
The accused negroes are Nease Gil
lespie, his sons, Henry and John, and
Jack Dillingham;. The trial doubtless
will be a speedy one and the prosecu-
ton anticipates no difficulty in secur-
ing the conviction OF all four of the
accused. The prosecution relies on
the story of Henry Mathew, the twelve
year-old grandson of the elder Gil
lespie, who told a circumstantial
story of the crime, of which he was
an eye witness.

Illus p Shea, who conducted the great

A conservative element Of the organi-

somewhat difficult, if not impossible,
to secure reelection. Albert Young

candidate of the opposition.

AN INVESTIGATION OF

SPECIAL FEDERAL GRAND JURY
AT CHICAGO WILL MAKE A
SWEEPING INVESTIGATION.
special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-The special
federal grand jury which convened to
day will make a sweeping investiga-
ton of the Standard Oil Company's
methods of transporting its products.
A large amount OF evidence has been
gathered by the governments legal
aids. under the personal direction of
Attorney General Moody, and this will
be presented to the grand jury. Sew
eral important pieces of evidence have
been added to that taken before the
grand jury at Cleveland a few weeks
ago. 1t is believed that the whole
forms a complete chain Of evidence
against the Standard Oil company and
some of its high officials which the
government prosecutors hope will lead
to indictments and prosecutions under
the anti-rebate law. The proceeding
will be based upon deals between the
company and railroads for the hand
ling of it's products, and the charges
made for the same as compared with
the rate fixed for Independent con-
Germs. There will be also evidence
concerning alleged discrimination in
the matter of storage charges in favor
of the oil company. A number of high
railroad officials are among those who
have been subpoenaed TO appear be-
fore the grand jury and testify.

MANY FIRES IN TOWN.
Did Little Damage and Were Really a
Good Thing For Many People.

There were quite a number of small
fires yesterday which were actually of
a good deal of benefit to many people
In the first place they helped the trade
of Bratton Drug Company, our popular
druggists, as they sold the Wadsworth
Bros. "Chicos" which were burned.
Then they benefited the smokers, for
it certainly is a benefit to any man to
find a cigar for 5 cents that viii give
him more satisfaction than 10 cent
cigars have before
We might say truthfully that these
cigars were a good thing for many
others, as nothing makes a man more
good natured than a satisfactory
smoke, such as he always gets when
he lights a Chico"
Bratton Drug Company have Sc
cured the local agency for Wadsworth
Bros "Chicos," and wants all smok
ers to try them and see that at last
it is possible to get a real Havana
cigar, made wen, good size, free smoll
