ISOLATION on the charge of violating
the antitrust laws. Yesterdays opin-
ion read by Special Justice ]. A. p.
Campbell will not be overturned, in
so far as the constitutionality of the
antitrust statutes is concerned, by the
decisions in the two remaining cases,
Chief Justice Whitfield and Associate
Justice Mayes having concurred with
Judge Campbell in all legal questions.
The three antitrust prosecutions
were originated by Justice R. v.
Fletcher while serving as attorney
general, and he was therefore dis
qualified from participating in the de-
cision of yesterday. 1t was doubtless
some qualification to him, however, to
see his position so substantially affirm
ed, for he had devoted large amount
of labor to the litigation. The cases
were pending for decision just prior
to Justice Fletcher's promotion to the
bench, and when he was named to sue
coed Justice Calhoun it btsAme neces-
sary to have the cases reargued with
special judges on the bench.
The Jackson Cotton Oil Company is
not likely to suffer heavy punishment,
or have its charter forfeited, as re-
suit of yesterdays decision. Justice
Campbell suggested in his opinion
that 1.-THE penalty may be a fine of
5000 without forfeiture of charter,
since the offense occurred prior to
1906, in which year the legislature en-
acted the new antitrust statute per-
hitting the assessment of a fine of
$4,000 per day for violations Of the
antitrust chapter. 1t is likely, there
fore, that when the case is remand
ed to the Kinds county chancery court
the corporation win confess liability
and accept the 5000 fine.

slana Retail Lumber Dealers Asso-

facts submitted, is of course profile
NAUTICAL The lumber trust case was
submitted on an agreed state of facts,
ana the question of guilt hinges large
iy on the trade ethics" clause of the

the suit against the alleged lumber
trust the attorney general seeks also

Especial to The Sentinel.)
New Orleans, April 2.-The time
is now at hand when throughout the
South general attention is being turn
ed to the preparation for and the
planting of the years cotton crop.
Last years crop sold at lower figures
than have been experienced in some
seasons, and as a result, farmers
have net made anything like the
profits they realized from the two
preceding crops. On the other hand,
however, tt can scarcely be true. as
some claim, that the crop has been
sold very close to the cost of pro-
duction. 1t is true that provisions,
flour and grain were high. adding
something to the cost of the crop,
but on the other hand, labor was
comparatively plentiful. and the
weather was ideal. greatly reducing
the cost of gathering and marketing
the crop. Then, again, the yield was
record breaker. so that taken alto
gether the crop must have netted a
fair profit.
That the last crop sold as low as it
did was not altogether due to the
size of the yield, because the figures
show that it has been absorbed by
consumers at an unprecedented rate.
The main trouble has been that there
has prevailed an almost complete
absence of speculation, which in all
former years has helped the farmer
to carry the crop and has competed
actively with the consumer and spin
ner, thus creating a higher range of
values during the period of active
marketing than could be possible
with consumers and spinners having
the market all to themselves. De-
spite their boasts of being able 10
hold the crops until they secure the
prices desired, the farmers are al
ways compelled by the necessity to
sell more rapidly than spinners can
normally buy. With no speculation
to compete with the spinner, farmers
must either carry their own burdens
or sacrifice their crops as they have
done during the past year.
