Hattiesburg daily news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1907-1908, 1907-09-19

The generous people of Hattiesburg
have an opportunity this morning to
aid in genuine charity.
/ The Daily News has discovered a
pitiful case of want and misery-one
that makes the heart bleed.
In rooms that have grown squalid
and dirty from inattention, in a house
at 307 Second street, Mrs. Roach, a
white woman with three little child
rem, is lying at the point of death after
an illness of many weeks. In all this
time she has been almost utterly
without assistance. When found yes
terday she had been for many days
without help and unable to help her
self, and the children are all too small
to do anything for her.
Her case demanded immediate at.
tention and temporary arrangements
for the night were made for her, and
other arrangements will be attended

promised that the matter would be

VIRGINIA REEDS BOND
is REDUCED TO $4,000
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
New Orleans, September 1S.-Judge
Chretien, of the criminal district court,
this forenoon reduced the bond of
Virginia Reed, the paramour of
Charles E. Letten, from $4,000 to s5,-
900.
Even though the bond has been re-
duced $4,000 it is not likely that Vir-
ginia Reed will be able to furnish it.
At least her attorney, George w.
Flynn, stated that there had only been
one offer OF $4,000 for bail, and that
he did not think that Virginia would
be able to furnish bond. To use At
'orney Flynn's own words, $4,000
bonds is as bad as 100000 for my
client"

The Department of Justice which, ac-
eording 10 Attorney General Bonaparte,
fushes a new octopus every week. has
just brought TO book that prosperous in
stitution known as the drug trusts The
case is an interesting one because the
drug trust Is not a trust at all, nor
even a corporation, but is composed of as
sociations Of manufacturers and wholesale
and retail dealers in drugs whose opera
tions We're conducted in concert. These
operations were attacked under the pro-
visions Of the antitrust law forbidding
conspiracy in restraint of trade, and the
drug associations, by advice Of their coun-
sci. surrendered without trial. consenting
TO an injunction restraining them from
committing the acts complained Of by the
government as Illegal.
The associations of drug manufacturers
and dealers, originally formed for entirely
legitimate purposes connected with the
drug trade. finally developed a system of
maintaining prices known as the ''tripaT-
tite plan, which the success Of the gov
.erament's case eompels them TO abandon.
Under the operation of this plan manu-
facturers sold only to jobbers who agreed
to sell at certain rates to retailers, who
maintained a fixed scale Of prices. The
method is thus described in the bill of
complaint:
The enforcement of sales by the wholesale dealer
the retail dealer at prices fixed by the rpartitc
Ir0pfietors' is secured by rebate system by the
terms whereof each wholesale dealer is charged al
list price, and receives his profit rebate only
upon the performance or promise TO perform all Of
the conditions Of the manufacturer; said prices are
also maintained by the defendants the National
Wholesale Druggists Association and its members.
removing from its recognized icbbers list such dealers
as violate SAID conditions; sales to persons o the
blacklist of the National Association Of Retail Drug.
gsts and its agents results in the blacslisting Of
said seller
This blacklist was published at the ex-
fpense Of the retail dealers ASSOCIATION
under the guise Of a mercantile agency re-
port, and il contained the names Of those
druggists who refused to abide by the sell.
ing prices fixed by the manufacturers and
jobbers. Such druggists were reported by
the National Association Of Retail Drug
gists and its agents. and the jobbers who
supplied cut-rate druggists were also put
on d blacklist.
The operations OF these interlocked as
sociations are typical of many other busi-
ness combinations. some ef them Of an op-
pressiye character, 10 which the inhibi-
tions Of the Sherman law are applicable.
1t would be interesting to know just 10

Whnt Is the Matter2

What IN the world has got into things
anyhow
Theoretically and according to almanac
and calendar. we are almost at the thresh-
old of summer, and yet, look al It. We
have not had a dozen days that We ceuld
by any stretch of the imagination call
spring days-except a few back yonder
some time in March that had no business
there at all. Instead Of April showers, We
had snowstorms. and, we presume, instead
of May flowers we shall have something
frappe that we never heard of before and
will in all likelihood never want TO hear OF
again!
Nor is that all. Some one has lately dis
covered that the American eagle is a
lady bird, and the Treasury Department
has ruled that apricots are nuts a society
has been formed by Ohio women holding
aloft as its cardinal principle the right
of woman 10 propose matrimonyi A North
Carolina man is organizing a Society Of
Truthful Fishermen.
What is the matter with things? sun
spots? That win do as well as anything
else. since 1t is certain that something

distressing thing is the TACT that we have
no knowledge Of where it viii all end
Shall we go on doing queer things, run
ming into freakish weather conditions and
reading curious decisions from government
departments for the balance Of our days?
Shall we yet be forced to celebrate Christ
mas on the Fourth OF July and Thanks
giving Day on April Fools day? It seems
quite likely, unless, indeed, some accom-
modating scientist discovers the road out
Of the quandary, and points as to It soon.
These are curious times. and if sun
spots cause all of the disturbance. the
less we see and hear Of sun spots In the
future the better We shall Ike H.

of last years campaign in Maine when
less courageous but more experienced
and skilled politicians merely repeated
the ancient formula Of that most vital
/ and irrepressible issue in our politics. He

wild clamor Of the suspicious masses have
swerved him from what he has perceived

Other Republican strOnghOids will in

/ Ohio. though informal in a sense, will
undoubtedly emboIden other States to
show their preferences. The more the
better. This course will relieve the White
/ House Of one cause Of annoyance and
/ irritation. II will put a damper upon the
/ ardOr OF the real and tka @--7e TnIrd-term
! boomer. II win provoke sane, rational
! discussion and mark out plainly the
( lines Of battle for 1905 1t will stiffen the
/ spirit of the Democracy and impart zeal
/ and candor to the counsels of that party.
On the whole. therefore, there is much

of a campaign next year Of zest and
