HISTORY OF CASE

HISTORY OF CASE.
The case is one or the Most mem
oHble in the records OF jurispru-
dence. The hearings extended in
various forms for nearly two years
and testimony was taken in a. great
number of cities, notably New
York, Washington and Chicago
New York high officials of the
Standard, including Rockefeller,
were called to the stand. The gov.
eminent charged the Standard
with monopoly in restraint OF
trade. 1t introduced voluminous
evidence regarding the methods OF
the Standard in dealing with com
petitors, !,
The suit was filed in the United
States circuit court of st. Louis In
1906, at the direction of the attor.
ney general.
The action was one of equity,
brought under the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust laws. Control,
through the Standard of New Jer-
sey, of more than 100 corporations
engaged in refining and marketing
oil, Is characterized as conspiracy
and restraint of trade. The govern
ment has asked for a permanent
injunction, restraining the Stan
dard from continuing the control of
the subsidiary corporations and
from reorganizing in such man.
ner that the alleged conspiracy
would be perpetuated.
An appeal can be taken to the
supreme court, which it is expected
the Standard will do.
ABOUT ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
Early in 1870 Rockefeller and
Flagler, it is alleged, entered a con-
spiracy to control the oil trade
They pooled their businesses and
organized the Standard Co. of
Ohio, with a capital stock of a mil
lion.
Through alleged ability to secure
preferential rates from railroads
and alleged unfair trade methods,
they were enabled, according to
the government, to drive to the
wall and absorb most of the indie
pendent companies.
The trust, as it exists today. was
not organized, according to the
complaint, until 1899, when the
Standard Of New Jersey was
formed. A stubborn fight on the
government charges was begun i'm
mediately by the Standard.

subpoena individuals outside of the

REAP WHAT HE sows.
Honor the Boy Who Magnifies His
Humble Job.

Don't laugh at a boy who magni-
fies his place. You may see him
coming from the postoffice with a
big bundle of his employers letters,
which he displays with as much pride
as though they were his own. He
feels important and looks it, but he
is proud of his place. He is attend
ing to business. He likes to have
the world know that he is at work
for q busy concern.
The boy who says I'VE" identi-
fes himself with the concern. Its
interests are his. He sticks up for
it's credit and reputation. He takes
pleasure in his work and hopes to
say we are in earnest. The boy will
reap what he sows if he keeps his
grit and sticks to his job. You may
take off your hat to him as one OF
the future solid men of the town.
Let his employer do ;the right
thing by him; check him kindly II
he shows signs of being too big fol

it's and associates, and occasionally
show him a pleasant prospect of ad-
vancement. A little pride does an

A Very Bad Habit.

Don't grumble. The most unfor-
tunate class of people living upon
this green earth are the grumblers.
They rob home of it's joys, society
of its dues, and themselves of the
best things of life. From the days
the children of Israel "grumbled"
and were sent on their tedious wan
derings "for forty years in the wild
erness," up to the present hour the
world has been full of grumblers.

A Dirty. Low Rascal.

Efforts are being made in Charles
ton to locate a scoundrel who is
addressing indecent language and
proposals to young women over the
telephone and if he keeps up his
practise he is certain to be caught.
He is sharp to use the phones in
public stations, decreasing the like
lihood of him being trapped. The
whole city is astir over the outrage
and there is serious trouble brewing
for him when he is caught. Some of
the young ladies in the best families
Of Charleston have been called 10

receive most indecent messages,

Must Take Home Paper.

A score or more of young girls,
at Beaverville, Ind, have formed
league to promote refinement
among young men and, among other
things, have resolved to marry no
man who drinks, smokes or chews
and who does not take the home
paper. Drinking is considered the
chief evil, smoking and chewing
come next, while the young women
assert that when a man does not
take the home paper it is evidence
of want of intelligence and that
he will PROVE too stingy to provide
for a family, educate his children
and encourage institutions of learn
ing in the community.

Sherman'S Coming.

The Orangeburg correspondent of
The News and Courier says: Fri
day is the anniversary of the en-
trance Of Sherman's army into the
village Of Orangeburg forty~three
years ago. Upon the ruins of the
little village has grown the beauti-
full and hustling city of which more
than 1000 inhabitants are today
so proud. Among the present in
habitants, however, there are few
who were old enough to take an ac-
tive interest in the things that oc-
Cured on that day, and bore the
sorrow and deprivations that fol
lowed in the wake of this culmina-
ton of that "cruel war"

On the Right Line,

The St. Matthews Advocate says,
'Messrs. Jas. NJ. Moss, J. R. Fairey,
and o. H. Weinges, returned last
Friday from trip into Kentucky,
where they purchased Spanish
jack. Several gentlemen in this Sec
tion have formed a company and
bought this jack, and they hope to be
able to raise their own mules and
stop the continued drain made upon
them for work stock" This is a
move on the right line. The money
that goes out of this country every
year for mules is enormous, and we
should raise them ar home.

We Never Did.

The Branchville Journal asks:
Have you sent comic Valentine?
If not. don't. There are so many
pretty, nice ones which would give
real pleasure to the recipient that
it seems a pity to waste time. en-
ergy and money in sending one that
may carry a sting with it. Then,
too. it is such cowardly way to
"get even" We are glad to say that
we never did. We have always re-
garded it as more of a reflection to
send one than to receive one.

We find in others that for which

leads to suspicion, distrust and cyu'

ANGER is DANGEROUS.
Wrecks the Whole System and
Terds 70 Shorten Life.

1t Wrecks the Whole System and
Tends to Shorten Life.
1t Is well known that a violent fit of
temper affects the heart Instantly. aud
psychophysioists have discovered the
presence Of poison in the blood imme-
diatcly after such outburst. This ex-
plains why we feel so depressed. ex-
hausted and nervous after any storm
of passion worry, Jealousy or revenge
has swept through the MIND. 1t has
left in its wake vicious mental poison
and OTHER harmful secretions In the
brain and blood.
There is no constitution so strong
hut 1t will ultimately succumb to the
constant raciing and twisting of the
nerve centers caused by an uncon-
trolled temper. Every time you be.
come angry you reverse all of the nor.
mai mental and physical processes.
Everything in you rebels against pas
sion storms; every mental faculty pro-
tests against their abuse.
If people only realized what havoc
indulgence in hot temper plays in
their delicate nervous structure. If
they could only see with the physical
eyes the damage done as they can see
what follows in the wake of a tornado,
they would not dare to get angry.
When the brain cells are overheated
from a fit of temper their efficiency is
seriously impaired, If not absolutely
ruined. The presence of the anger poi
son. the shock to the nervous system,
is what makes the victim so exhausted

cause the undergraduates were expect

though he himself sat down whenever
he chose. 1t is also related that. being

to speak until he was spoken to. On
