TRUSTS OUSTED.
Supreme Court Upholds Sta,es
in Their Fight.

Washington. D. c.. Dispatched
The hands of the States in
their fight against trust" were
upheld today by the Supreme
Court of the United States with
telling effect.
The association of retail lum-
l,er dealers in Mississippi and
Louisiana was disbanded by affir-
nance of the decree of the Su-
preme Court of Mississippi; the
Standard Oil Company of Ken
lucky was ousted from Tennes-
see by the approval of the decree
of the Supreme Court of Tennes-
see. Both, the State courts had
held, violated the antitrust act
of the respective States.
Justice Lurton announced the
opinion of the court in the Miss
issippi case. 1t was his first ut
terance from the Supreme Court
bench on the trust" question.
He said the members of the asso-
citation had obligated themselves
not to deal with any manu-
facturer or wholesaler in lumber
who sold to consumers in the To-
calities in which they conducted
a business sufficiently large to
meet the demands of the public.
He accepted the findings of
the State courts and declared
that it is an illegal combination
and conspiracy under the Miss
issippi statute.
The proceedings in the STAN
dard Oil case were begun in 1907
under the Tennessee antitrust
act.
The charges against the STAN
dard originated out of a transac-
ton at Gallatin, Tenn, the STAN
dard of Kentucky had oil stored
in tanks in Tennessee from which
it procured a supply to serve
merchants throughout various
sections of the State. The Evans
vile Oil Company Of Evansville,
Ind, sent a salesman to Gallatin
to sci! oil. He obtained num-
Der Of orders whereupon the
agent of the Standard Oil offered
to give the merchants ten gallons
of oil per barrel to countermano
their purchase orders with the
Evansville Oil Company. -Four
of them accepted. The Standard
and two of it's agents were in
dicted under the State anti-trus
act. One of the agents was con
victed, but the Standard escaped
punishment on the ground that j
could not be fined under the &C
but could only be ousted.
Custer proceedings were the
begun against it with the charg
es based on the Gallatin transao
tions. The State courts is
sued an ousting decree fror
which an appeal was taken
the Supreme Court of the Unite
States. Justice Holmes announ
ed the opinion of the court. A
the contentious of the compar
were disposed of favorably
the State.

A TERRIBLE INDICTMENT.

The Raleigh News and Observer in

has this to say of Democratic "good
government" in Wake County:

was to come he would not be vel
come. II would mean not the cleo
ton OF Republican Congressman. but
the prevention Of the election OF such
Congresgmen. in order that this one
and only boss might distribute all OF
the patronage from the mountains to
the sea.
Fortunately. the party has already
grown too big to be caught b. such
a scheme and TO be dominated and
throttled by such a political trust.
The exposure of this scheme means
its death-knell.
Let every Republican who loves his
State and who wants to see the State
made Republican, because that would
mean greater prosperity for the State,
90 to the primaries and send their
truest and best men as delegates to
every Congressional Convention and
to the State Convention. Let the
slogan be Down with the pie-cOunteT
ring" in order that the party may
rise up and grow and prosper and
place North Carolina in the column
Of the great national party Of prog
| ress and prosperity.

SHALL THE PARTY BECOME A

MIR. HOLTON'S SPEECH AT Shell
nv

The Union Republican, in its last
issue, publishes a very able and ef-
fective speech made by Hon. A. E.
lIolton at the Republican County Con-
vention of Cleveland County. That
paper, in commenting upon the
speech in an editorial, says:
I'm this issue of The Repub-
lican is printed the speech Of
Hon. \. E. Holton, of this city,
which was delivered at Shelby,
n. c., at a meeting of the Repub
lican convention of Cleveland
County. 1t can be called the
first gun of the 1910 campaign
and as such demands the inter-
est of every voter. Mr. HoltOn
is recognized leader in the
Republican party in North Caro-
lima. AS State Chairman some
years ago he led the party to vic
tory, and if it is the will of the
State Convention which meets at
be prevailed upon to serve again
in this capacity, which would
signify an aggressive campaign
and a very probable victory
again for Republican candidates
and policies at the November
election"

MORE DEMOCRATIC INCOMpET-
ENCY.

Governor Kitchin has just issued a
proclamation converting the State |
Legislature in extraordinary session.
to meet on June 10th. This is made
necessary because the issue OF bonds
of more than three millions author
lied to be sold by the last LegisIa-
ture has been sold only in part. The
public has refused to subscribe for
the bonds. Only one million two
hundred thousand have been sub
scribed out of total of three million
four hundred and thirty thousand Of
fered. To this condition has the
credit of the State been brought by
incompetent Democratic manage
ment.
1t is still fresh in the minds of the
people that the last Governor had to
call the Legislature in extraordinary
session on account of either ignor-
ance or incompetency of a former
Democratic Legislature with refer
ence to the adjustment of passenger
rates.
When this Legislature meets 1t
ought to, if possible, try to devise
some means to induce Democratic
State officials to enforce the laws of
the State and to check the carnival
Of increased crime that is now sweep
ing over the State 1t ought to
amend the State antitrust law so as
to put some teeth in it, and then it
ought to put some courage in the
Governor and the Acknowledgement,
il possible, to enforce it,
They ought to also either devise
some way Of enforcing the prohibi-
ton law and stop the blind tiger
scandal, or they ought to give up the
attempt. But Democratic politicians
seized the prohibition question as a
popular campaign issue when they
could no longer use the negro
scarce-crow effectively. Now, that
they have gotten the prohibition law
adopted they are winking at the
whiskey element and the violators OF
the law until most outrageous and
scandalous condition has arisen In
every quarter Of the State.
We take it that this Legislature
will undertake to fool the people be-
fore it adjourns by declaring that
they have not abandoned the great
fundamental principle of local self
government. Already one wing oil
the Wake County Democracy has un,
dertaken to steal that plank from the
Republican platform, while the Other
wing of the Wake County machine
has attempted to steal the officers
salary plank from the Republican
party.
1t is a good thing for the State thai
the Republican party has grown
strong enough to drive the Demo
cratic politicians into pretending tt
accept and advocate great correct
principles of good government which
they have to take from the Republi
can platform. The voters will, ne
doubt, decide, however, that it is bes
to trust the Republicans to put these
principles into law and enforce then
than the Democrats who have made
such miserable mess and failure o.
the government of the State.

There comes a time every
now and then when there must
be party house-cleaning. That
time has come in Wake County,
The Democratic machine that
governs the county has no
thought except to keep in DOW
er. 1t cares for roads only to
please favorites and make votes.
1t has never taken any interest
In education. 1t is chiefly re-
sponsible for debauching the
Suffrage. In a score of petty
ways it outrages the rights of
the people for the small coterie
1t favors. People will not vote
bonds or larger tax for roads
because they know that politics
Will dictate the expenditure by
which much will be wasted. No
body ever heard of any of the
machine favoring schools, and
yet they wish to dominate the
school boards. Politics-seIfish
and small politics-is permitted
to sacrifice the real interests of
the people. Long lease of power
has made them arrogant and
they make appeal chiefly to vice
and cupidity."

Dr. J. l.. Caldwell, secretary of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade yesterday addressed a letter to J. M. Parker, of Hamburg, Ark, general manager of the Arkansas, Louisiana and Gulf railroad, which is planning to extend it's line to this city from Hamburg and then on to Hagen, Ark The let ter. which follows, is explanatory: MT. J. M. Parker,
 Hamburg, Ark.
 My Dear Mir. Parker:-At the first meeting of the committee ap- pointed to raise the bonus of $1OO,- 900 for the M. D. & G. R. R. before adjournment, motion was made and unanimously carried that "the com- mittee is going out with the declara- tion and determination to raise the bonus of $1O0,OOO for the M. D. & G.. R. R. and holds itself ready to do the same for the A. l. & G R R when notified that said road is ready to actually construct it's extension 10 and through Pine Bluff" and the secre- tary was instructed to notify you of this action.
 l feel sure that our people are anxious to secure both roads, and trust that our present activity in the furtherance of the M. ID. & G. R. R.. will not discourage you or lead you to fear that Pine Bluff will fail you should you find yourself able to begin work at very early date.
 We do not see any danger to the interests of either road from the suc- cessful building of the other, and the building of both would make Pine Bluff the best railroad center in the state.
 Personally it is pleasure to me to write this letter:
 Very sincerely yours,
 J. L. CALDWELL,
 Secretary.

YI0LFTT MEETING
 SOON TO CLOSE
But Interest Continues in the Big Re- niyal Here-'That Great Sal,ation'
 His Theme for Tonight.

As the Violet meetings draw to a close, the interest becomes more in- tense each night. Last night, the evangelist preached on Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out" reading from the sixth chapter of Galatians, and especially dwelling upon the seventh and eighth verses which read Be not deceived ; God is not mocked for what soever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soWeth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corrup- tion; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlast- ing.'
 Mir. Violet, with his usual power, contrasted the life of sinners with that of the righteous man showing that both at last have to come to the grave where all only occupy a few feet of earth. A man may do all kinds of sinful things during this life but sooner or later they will return upon him and engulf him. If man sows good seed he may rightfully ex- pect to reap splendid harvest but if the seed be evil then only that which tears down a persons good deeds can he expect to reap. The evangelist urged upon his hearers to SOW for eternity and not for this life which passes away as the morning dew.
 Prof. Haley sang a solo with his usual effectiveness. The chorus singing is one of the enjoyable fea- lures of each nights service. The Sunbeam chorus has been particularly faithful during these warm nights and deserves great deal of credit.
 The Bible drill at the beginning of each service is proving instructive to all who attend. Tonight the audi ence is expected to learn the books of
