idea there may be nothing out of the
way and nothing really wrong in such
operations as are now being brought to
light. A large percentage of the rich
men below Fulton street are tarred with
the same stick. They have been brought
up to believe that they were entitled to
exact toll on every form of enterprise
that seeks in Wall street capital for ex-
poitatlon. The application of this latest
investigation development TO Wall street
is that it will prove to the world at
large the merit and righteousness of the
attack which is being directed against
it by President Roosevelt and the politl-
cal machinery behind him.
One vital statement made by Mr.. Har-
riman was to the effect that the Sherman
antitrust law. prohibiting all eombina
tons in interstate trade, compelled the
railroads to adopt methods by which
competing roads could be put in closer
relations to each other. Mr. Hartman
pleaded for legislation permitting rail
roads to enter into reasonable contracts.
lie referred to the fact that President
Roosevelt in his last annual message
suggested this same thing. 1t is sur
prising that the Presidents declaration
to this effect had met with such little
public response. So far as legitimate
economic forces have produced. Mr.. Har-
rman as d one man power in the rail-
action of many railroads, some of them
competitive, he is the direct result of
the law which prohibits combinations or
agreements between railroads such
agreements being unlawful and criminal.
Railroad capital had been forced to enter
into consolidation, into interchanges of
directorships. and into mutual ownerships
of stocks 1t may be said as matter
of public information that steps are now
being taken to bring this matter of
amendments to the laws SO as to make
reasonable combinations possible before
the public. The changes proposed are
not for the purpose of promoting or pro-
tecting monopoly but simply for the pur
pose of maintaining order in competitive
business. The Sherman antitrust law
should be enforced against Mr.. Hartman
and other offenders but unless We wish
to produce anarchy let us take steps to
amend it.

Profits to 90 to Schools.

1t is practically certain that the next Legls
lature will change the distribution Of dispen.
sary profits. The people Of the county are
not pleased with the present division and the
January Legislature will change It and give
one-third the profits TO the schools. Not only
the people Of the county are dissatisfied with
the present situation, but many OF the county
seat are also dissatisfied.
It was q mistake from the beginning to di
vert these funds from tho schools and every
body realizes 1t now,
The public schools are the most important
of all our Institutions inc should receive at
~tention before every thing else. Even as the
individual stints himself IN order that his
children may receive An education, 30 the
county should see to 1t that the public schools
do not suffer. The county should sacrifice
everything else to the interests OF the
schools.
When this law is changed the county
schools will receive about 10000. The
amount formerly received from the State Dls.
pensary was somewhere around 5000. With
a bank account of $4,000 the schools would
be In a better condition than they have ever
been before. They will receive over three
times as much money from the County Dis.
pensary than they received from the State
Dispensary.

writings are as crisp and as original today as
they were years and years ago.

The foregoing complimentary tit-bit was
Overlooked by the Press and Banner until 1t
was noticed in the wide-awake Mccormick
Messenger. 1t contains some food for re-
~fection.
Abbeville has piled up a considerable sum
Ia fines for the Illicit sale Of whiskey, but
they have been imposed or by citizens Of one
OF the localities that ls clamering most for
prohibition; q tow like Greenwood and Mo.
Cormick that is in easy communication with
Augusta.
The large amount Of fines imposed In Able
Vile ia not accounted for In the number OF
fines but in their magnitude. It Is rare that
a citizen OF Abbeville dares TO break the law
by selling Illicit liquor and when he does,
such a heavy fine is imposed as Ito break up
the business.
II the public conscience In Greenwood was
as tender on the subject OF selling and using
blind tiger liquor as 1t is in Abbeville, q fund
sufficient 10 retire the State debt might soon
be realized from fines.
Candidly Abbeville does not despise money
collected from blind tigers, any more than 1t
does the money paid in q lawful way By citi.
