SUGAR TRUST INDICTED.

The Indictment of the sugar trust,

two other individuals. promises to
lead to the most sensational and per-

OF these giant monopolies ever I'M
dertaken by the government.
II anything were needed to arouse
the resentment and contempt of the
American people to a higher pitch
than usual it was found in the evil
dsnce that the trust had been en-
gagged in ordinary thievery by means
OF false scales.
The events leading up 70 the pres
ent prosecution began twelve years
ago and present the most shameless
instance OF trust methods which has
ever come to light. The chicanery

THE people of Georgia, that is great
many of them, have a wrong idea about
this port rate proposition" continued Mr..
Methvin. They seem TO think that It's d
big scheme in the interest Of Atlanta, and
that all the rest of the state would be
hurt That's not true. Columbus, Ma
con, Rome and other places would share
In the benefits. Under the present rates,
to illustrate, a dealer could ship a car
load of nails from Atlanta to the port of
Savannahy and thence back to Cusset,
cheaper than the Methvin Hardware COM
pany could get those nails here from
Atlanta and then ship them down to Gus
seta, a few miles away. Now, such a
system is not right and is not equitable.
That's what Chairman McLendon was
elected to remedy, and that's what he
failed to remedy.

SUSPENSION Merits
Unqualified A66roua1

BUENA VISTA. Ca. June Ex-Governor
Smiths suspension of Commissioner Nc
Tendon merits the unqualified approval
of every supporter of the principles on
which Governor Smith and Mr.. McLen-
don were elected to office.
Believing that a political platform is
something more than something to get
in office on" and that the principles
therein promulgated should be the rule by
which the officer who receives his com
mission from the hands of the people
should be governed, we can but extend
to Governor Smith our congratulations in
the successful redemption of the pledges
made the people, and in his disposition of
Mr.. McLendon.
This seems to be the prevailing senti-
ment in Buena Vista and Marion county.

the representative-elect from that county
to the 1909 legislature He is farmer, in
the main, but has served his community
through several terms as notary public
and Justice of the peace His coming
service, moreover. will be his second
term In the state legislature. He served
as the member from Forsyth In 1895 and
1896.

brought his bride to the old home, and to-
gether they have raised their family Of
nine children there. Two of the rooms
that form the main body of the house
were built in 1925.
Representative Woodliff's career as a
justice is featured on the records by the
fact that decision made by him, re-
versed by the superior court later, was
finally upheld by the supreme court. 1t
was case about a bale of cotton. 1t
was in 1876 that Representative Woodliff
was first appointed to the office Of n. P.
and ]. P. at Cummings, Forsyth county
He held that appointment continuously
for a number of years. During his first
! term in the legislature, number of law
yers commended that he could not hold Of
flee as n. P. and representative stmulta-
neously; but the states attorney general
decided that he could. In 1901 he was ap-
pointed N. P. and ]. p. Of the new dis
trict. He held that appointment for five
years, though the term is only four. The
February, 1906, grand jury unanimously
recommended him for the appointment,
but no commission came. The August
grand Jury made the same recommended
ton. 1.-The February, 1907. jury was about
TO repeat the recommendation" says Mr..
Woodliff, when they were given to IN
derstand that no matter how strong they
recommended me, would not be appoint

Recommended another, and the commits
