SOMETHING GOOD.

6 There is not theatre goer in the
country but what likes to see good
show, and would go it they knew it
to be good. After being deceived
and going to one bad one they are
apt to pass up good one before
they get over being sore.
A good show deserves support, a
bad one does not, but many a good
show that would be greatly appreci-
ated by the amusement loving pub
lie often fails to get 1t while the
poor one does. simply because our
people do not read and post them
selves. You can always find out
where company plays a few days be-
fore it plays here. If you have a
friend there it costs but cents tc
postage and you can know in ad-
vance Just what satisfaction it is
giving through your friend. II you
have none, get newspaper from
that town. If you find the show to
be bad. cut it when it comes to Man
chester. II it is good or even frir
support it.
The citizens Of Manchester are
asked to look up the show which
comes to the Central Opera House
next Saturday evening, Nov. 9th.
1t is one of the best shows on the
road and our local Opera house man
ager wishes to give them a big house,
and he knows that If our theatre
goers will look up this company's
reputation that the theatre will be
packed at the performance of "The
Girl That's All The Candy. A tir
musical drama with 80 people.
Prices 25, 35, so cents. Curtain
will be held until S:45 to accommo
date the business houses on this
night. AL.

THE MOST IMPORTANT DEcIs
ION EVER RENDERED.

The United States Circuit Court,
of this, the sth circuit, has rendered
a decision dissolving the Standard
Oil Company, and enjoining it from
continuing to do business after 80
days from the date of the decree.
The court simply exercised the
power of the public to destroy, to
capitally punish corporation SO in.
tolerably bad that its future exist
ence would be public menace.
The evidence filled 81 volumes. and
occupied more than 10000 printed
pages.
The decision is based upon the
antitrust act of July End, 1890.
1t has taken the courts all these
years to get around and construe this
statute SO as to make it deatt
warrant for corporations that persist.
emily refuse to obey the laws of the
country
John p, Rockefeller, VIM Rookie
feller and Henry NJ. Flagler are nam
ed in the governments petition as
the originators of the conspiracy to
destroy competition. Their scheme
has been used, in one form or anoth-
er, by every trust in the country;
and if the parent trust is unfit too ex
ist. why should the courts permit any
trust to longer continue in business?
Attorney General Wickersham
speaking of the decision, calls IL
the most important ever rendered b,
a court.
The decision is concurred in b.
the four judges of this circuit, two O,
whom file opinions, and it seems t.
be SO well founded that there is H.
tie prospect of a reversal on al
peal to the United States suprem,
Court.
About the only hope for the trust
is an appeal to the firm of Taf
Aldrich & Cannon. If this firm ca
secure some change in the anti-trus
law. which will make this decisio
inapplicable to future prosecution
it will be great thing, for tn
trusts. While We hope that n
1 such change will be attempted, W
believe that it will and that the a
tempt to secure such a change wi
have the support of the Preside
and every old-time republican boss.

ONE BRIGHT SPOT IN THE TAFT
ADMINISTRATION,

Some people are saying that Roos
evelt instead of Taft is entitled te
credit for the good work which Mr.
Loeb is doing in the New York Gus
tom house, because Mr.Loeb stood
SO very close to Mr.. Roosevelt when
he was president. We can find nc
reason for giving Roosevelt credit
for anything that is now being done
by Loeb.
AS matters now stand it looks as
though Taft was entitled to credit
for the big house cleaning which is
now taking place in the New Yorl
custom house. 1t is the one brigh,
spot in his administration and We
would not try. to dim it.
We regret that there are MOI
many similar spots.

MAGISTRATE NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Farmers Mistake Was In Holding
Search Warrant Too Long.


Editor of The Yorkville Enquirer:
In THE State" Of this date, note an
editorial quoted from your paper, con-
cerning the recent case Of the State VS..
w. II. Sellers. as follows: Wade
Hampton Sellers, the Columbia blind
tiger king who killed Constable Far
mer, has been acquitted. According to
the ruling of the court, the warrant
Farmer was trying to serve was tech
nically illegal and he was an unwilling
trespasser. The presumption is that If
the warrant had been all right, the KILL
ing would have been murder. Some-
body Is responsible for Farmers death,
and IL Sellers is not the man, who Is
he? Can II be the magistrate who is
sued the papers?"
l am the magistrate who issued the
papers. The court ruled that the search
warrant in the case was legal, but was
held by Mr.. Farmer too long before
serving it, and it was therefore out or
date The warrant was forty eight
days old, and should have been served
within a reasonable time-say. within
week, as instructed Mr.. Farmer when
he first made himself known to me as
a constable. All this Is in the testi-
mony taken at the trial.
W:n you please publish this card In
your paper? I am certainly not res
ponsible for the delay in serving the
warrant. Yours truly,
Jas. H. Fowles, Jr.
