Must Not Visit Saloons.

Most railroads require temperance
ON the part of their employees, but
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail-
way Company goes so far as to forbid
them to put themselves in the way of
temptation. 1t has issued an order
to the effect that any employee who
has his pay check cashed in saloon
will be discharged The presumption
is, probably, that the cashing OF a
check in such place indicates the par.

His troubles are we'll epitomized

at continues to exist and to
thrive, but on terms that no
self respecting enterprise would
accept for a moment. 1t is not
for me to deny that the liquor
seller has conscience. He GER
tainIy has ability and industry.
But his pride is gone. The first
step he takes toward opening up
his place is to confess that he is
not to be trusted like other
merchants; that what he pro-
poses to do is beneath the dig
nifty of a free man; that as
citizen he is to be suspected and
hampered and watched; that to
accommodate his output addi-
tional police and Jail room will
be required; that his location
near a schoolhouse would be a
contamination; that his location
near a church would be an in
suit to religion; that his loca-
tion in the market would be an
outrage on the poor; that his
word to obey the law is not good
without a bond; that for the
right to call himself a business
man among business men he
must pay heavily and come up
every year like ticket of leave
man and submit himself to be
checked off on the roll of dam
gerous citizens. He makes his
money easily, but his business
pays an awful price in money
and lin reputation for recogni-
ton among its betters.

State Sues for $14, $4,000.
Attorney General j. b. Stirling has
fled suit in the chancery court of
Holmes county at Lexington against the
Retail Lumber Dealers Association of
Mississippi and Louisiana, under the
antitrust statute of Mississippi for the
recovery of penalties aggregating $14,
$4,000. The suit is quite the largest
single item of litigation ever filed in the
state, although it is the minimum
amount for which it could have been
brought, being at the rate of $500 per
Gay for the 985 days since March IA,
1906, the date on which the offending
agreement was made, for each of the
seventy-two concerns admitted to be
members of the association. The maxi
mum penalty prescribed would have been
$4,000 per day, and had that extra
measure been asked for the suit would
have been for the munifcent sum of
$4OS, 775, 900. As it is, the amount
asked from each member of the organi-
zation is $4,000 The attorney gen
eral feels confident of securing judg-
ments for the full amounts asked for.
Col. Haynie Expelled.
a sensation that has been brewing
in the Mississippi division of the Farm
ers' Union for several months, culmin-
ated today, when formal announcement
was made that the executive committee
has expelled Col. Thomas S. Haynie
from membership i'll the organization.
The order of the executive committee
not only summarily eXpels Col. Haynie
from membership in the division, but
also instructs Jackson local No. IT'S,
OF which he is a member, to take sim
liar action, which has been done. Col
Haynie was formerly editor of the
Farmers Union Advocate, official organ
of the Mississippi division. He also
served as member of the lecture bureau,
and was enc of the most active organ
izers in the division. The first breach
between Col Haynie and other mem
bers of the organization occurred short
lv after his retirement from the editor
ship of the official organ when he
launched a scheme to form a negro
branch of the Farmers Union. This did
not meet with the approval of the mem
bers of the executive committee, who
fatty refused to have anything to do
with negro organization, or to give it
recognition of any sort.
