that the people Of Greenwood made

Of the Confederacy were the first
men in the land, and that all that
they had was at the disposal Of their
visitors, and if any visiting veteran
paid a dime or a dollar for anything
while in that city he must have been
a clever dodger, since the hosts were
on the qui vive to prevent anything
of the kind. The same sentiments
are expressed by all, and it was good

representing the firm of Postle-
thwaite and Chase Co., wholesale
grocers, of that city, arrived in

having left Natchez Wednesday
morning in buggy and followed
close to the line of the Mississip.
pi Central Railroad all the way to
Brookhaven. These gentlemen
were on accommodating tour,
looking out fur the extension of
their wholesale business, and ex-
pected to extend their trip by rail
from here to Hattiesburg with
the same object in view. The
Leader is indebted to them for a
pleasant call.
The enterprise and activity Of
this Natchez firm is a practical re-
minder, by the way, of what The
Leader has heretofore, urged sew
|eral times. and that is, that it be-
hooves Brookhaven's business
men to be well on the alert and
ready to meet competition. from
pNatchez and Hattiesburg when
the Mississippi Central Railroad
is completed all the way through
to Natchez. Commanding the
position she does in good coun-
try nearly midway between these
two cities, and with railroad ia
cilities that will command railroad
rates that will enable her business
men to successfully compete in
prices with either Natchez OIL
Hattiesburg, there is no reason
why Brookhaven should sit com.
placently down and let these other
cities walk of withthe lions share
of tue trade on either side of US.

Escaped the Penalty.

Jackson, Miss. April 22.-
Attorney General Fletcher re-
turned last night from Meridian,
where heargued for the state the
demurrer In the custer proceed
ings there against the Cumberland
Telephone & Telegraph Co., be-
fore Judge Cochran, MIR. ]. B.
Harris of this city presenting the
argument for the company.
After hearing the arguments
Judge Cochran overruled the de-
mnrrer, holding that the state
antitrust statutes are constitutions
al, but upheld the point made by
the defense that they are not sub
iect to any penalties because the
ottense upon which the suit is
based was committed before the
statute affecting the penalties
went into effect.
The attorney general may APP
peal from this decision, although
he appears to attach little I'M
portance to that particular point,
and on the whole he expresses
himself as being well satisfied
with the result Of this hearing.
The case will probably come up
for hearing at tue next regular
term of circuit court, after which
it will go to the supreme court
for final settlement. The main
basis of the suit is the purchase
by the Cumberland of compet-
ing company 10 Meridian, in vio-
lation Of the statutes. The de-
fenso has fled a plea setting up
the fact that the company is en-
gagged in interstate business, and
is not therefore subject to custer
proceedings by the state.
