This from the Charlotte Obser-
yer: to aid to tie clearer under
standing Of the two proposition
for antitrust legislation now
pending, subsection A" Of the
antitrust law. defeated in the
last Legislature and brought for
ward in this by Senator Lockhart.

alton or association to make o

or implied. 10 lower or prev Mt
the increase in price of any arti-
cl9 or price or thing OF value,
which any such firm, corpora
ton or association msy desire to
purchase within the State Of
North Carolina.
AS a substitute for this Sem :
tor Manning proposes to ameLG
the present law, section l. chap
ter 2lS, public laws of 1907. by
adding subsection F." which
would make IL unlawful "for am
person, firm or corporation OF
association to conspire with an,
other person, firm or corporation
or association to put down the
price Of any article produced il
this State by the labor of others.
which said article the said per
son, firm. corporation or associa-
ton intends to buy"
1t is difficult for a layman to
say what will be the effect. OF
those sections. 1t is noticed that
in subsection IF" it is made un-
lawful for persons, firms or cor
porations to "conspire with any
other person, firm or corporation
to put down the price of am ar.
ticle produced" etc.; while sub
section "A" simply makes it IN
lawful for any person, firm or
corporation to make or have an
agreement, expressed or implied,
TO lower or prevent the increase
in price," etc. 1t occurs 10 US
that it might be more difficult to
prove in court that person,

that a person. firm or corpora

PEMBRO0K'S
cLOSE.TO-MkTURE
FARM
BY Horace Seymour Keller.

For ten years Uncle Lemuel Penn
brook had lost money hand over fist
taking summer boarders. His young
folks, tired and weary of 1t all, had
taken their several departures and
gone to pastures new, leaving Penn
brook and Cindy alone to run the farm.
Then the old folks began to take
boarders for the summer-and kept
It up for ten years, falling behind
yearly until q mortgage was plastered
upon the roof, woodshed, pasture,
meadow, stock, lock and barrel OF the
entire outfit. 1t was then that Lemuel
sat down one evening and said to
Cindy:
Next year I'm goin' to run this old
place on the skin game style"
why, Lemuel, how you talk, an
you a pillar in the church! I'm
sprised, / am, Lemuel Pembroke, to

we'll take summer boarders this sea-

Cindy."
How'll you take 'em, Lemuel, diff
ferent from what we have for ten
years?"
"Well take 'em in, goldern 'em! Well
take 'em in. This season well skin
'em alive an eat 'em up"

Them city folks'll think yer Uncle

in to us tighter'n the seven-year Itch
to school boy-meanin' that NOR
gage. When. I've sot my foot down.
Cindy, you know what that means"
Long before the season opened the
big new barn was partitioned on with
canvas, hammocks were slung up
and the sleeping quarters were ready.
Then a fine advertisement was
placed in two of the leading city jour-
nails telling about the unique system
of summering at Pembroke Farm. II
told of the close-to-nature plan OF
living, coming down close to good old
mother earth, the joys, gladness.
goodness and wholesome results
thereof. It was fine bit Of work and
It cost Uncle Lemuel $45 to place 1t.
Then he awaited the opening Of
the season.
1t came quicker than he expected.
Six hammocks were engaged and
paid for in advance by the McSwilters
at $50 per hammock for the season.
Ten hammocks were spoken for and
paid for In advance by the De Jujues
at $50 per hammock. Next came an
order for four hammock quarters In
select places at 500 per hammock.
Then Pembroke shunted the rest
away. The hammocks gave out, the
quarters in the barn were all taken
up and he had to put up the bars.
But how'll we feed EN-, Lemuel
how'll we feed emf"
Don't fret, Cindy. I'll feed EN-"
But how, Lemuel, how? Thereu

that means. Twenty mouths to Ill.
Why, it'll take me all day an all
night to bake pies fur 20 mouths"
well, they won't git no pie this
summer"
"An' them summer folks do SO love
Ulnay, they'll git grass. that's what
they'll git-grass!"
Goodness"
"Yes; them bills O. fare made up
by the new.fangled set O. folks that's

You needn't do any fussin' this sum-

name hain't Pembroke"
And they did.
In their hammocks that gently
swayed in the breezes the 20 goodly
gulls slept as they never slept before.
And the menu-it was great, glorious
for one week. Then they put up q
kick. But as each one had signed
for 20 weeks to abide by said menu
and paid in advance at the rate Of
$40 per week-they could not kick!
The second week the hammock
boarders curled up, pinned and went
away.
And Pembroke had s1,400 to the
good. Then the big new barn burned
to the ground.
Insurance was $4,000.
The mortgage was raised and Lem
