FIGHT TOBACCO TRUST.
Three Attorneys General Join in Pc
tition to United States Court
Against Reorganization.

1t is the purpose OF the Attorneys
General of the States OF virginia
North Carolina and South Carolina 10
do all in their power to prevent the
United States courts from confirming
the proposed plan for the reoTganIza-
ton Of the American Tobacco Com
pany, which, in its present form' mas
been iudicially declared to be an I'm
lawful monopoly. ~,
Permission has been granted Attor-
nov General Samuel w. Williams, OF
this state, Attorney General I. W.
Rickett, of North Carolina, and Attor-
new General Frayser Lyon, of South
Carl ina, to file joint protest against
the plan now under consideration.
This petition, which was iled today
in the United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York,
will be argued next Saturday and it is
the present intention of Judge VII
liams to have say on this occasion.
But whether he does or not, the joint
protest OF the three states will leave the
court in little doubt as to their view OF
the proposed reorganization plan.
This document is nothing if not out
spoken in the mapner in which it as,
sails the pending scheme Of the mo-
nopoly. 1t is openly charged that the
suggested plan of reorganization means
only change OF bookkeeping and
will 10 no way correct the evils which
heretofore have vexed the southern
planters.
In its opening paragraphs the petit
ton calls attention to the fact that
North Carolina ranks second as a to.
bacco producing state and Virginia
third, while South Carolina is also ac'
tively;engaged in the industry.
In these states" says the protest,
hundreds OF thousands Of people cul'
tivate tobacco as their chief, if moi
their only means Of support, and these
people directly, and all The other peo
pie OF the states named indirectly, are
vitality interested and deeply concerned
in the di solution of the American To
bacco Company in accordance with ths
Judgment of the Supreme Court OF the
United States rendered in this cause. :

WHERE PLATINUM IS FOUND
Rare Metal In Small Quantities Usu-
ally Is Associated With Gold
In Grave! Beds.

Platinum Is found associated with
gold, principally in gravel beds. The
ordinary source Is accommodations OF
gravel which have been eroded from
extensive area and gradually concen-
trated in one locality by the continued
action OF water. 1t Is q rare metal
and the accumulation must be from
great extent Of country If 8 paying
deposit is to be developed.
Platinum Is Of a silver gray color
which is rarely furnished. Its deVol-
opment is similar to gold, except that
where gold Is usually associated with
quartz and light colored rocks plat
mum will be found more commonly
with dark colored rocks. and espe-
cially those of a greenish shading.
1t is found only in small quantities,
except at two or three localities. West
ern Colombia and eastern Russia have
gravel beds which afford the princi-
pal supply of this metal. Elsewhere
It is found over considerable areas,
but not sufficiently concentrated to be
of Importance. 1t may be looked for
among the formations adjacent to re-
gtons of old volcanic activity.
The distribution is principally In al
tered rocks, and segregation seems TO
have been the principal cause con-
tributing to Its collection IN ore
bodies. The deposits found up to the
present time have been of irregular
naturalization and not Of great ex-
tent, consequently all platinum de-
posts must be considered with eau
ton.
OF the rare metals associated with
platinum, iridium, osmium, palladium
and others, little need be said because
Of their rarity. If found they Will be
associated with platinum and will be
known by the greater hardness,
brighter surface and greater specific
grayity.-Moody's Magazine.

"Aeropetomanie."

Some months ago learned profess
gor at the Sorbonne wrote to the Paris
ian papers proposing that the word
"petomane" be used as term to des.
ignate the aviator, the word petomane
being based, he explained, on the
Greek root pet" to fly. Another
learned person says that the word
hanks back to the earliest days Of aer,

of "Aeropetomanie." or the latest pro.

Make your life a blessing to
everybody about you.
A loose board too often squeaks
loudly of loose methods.
Some men are born good, but
more are made good by their
wives.
Time is money, but it requires
a great deal IF time to convince
some folks of that fact.
Science has decided that a kiss
is infectious OSCILLATION, but plain
people are satisfied with the good
old name.
1t is too late when the stack
has tumbled and smothered your
best COW to regret not having
fenced it off.
Get any extra plow-points or
other fixtures you may need, be-
fore you get out the pillow for the
spring work.
We are disposed to say unkind
things about the mule, but the
fact remains that there are many
men who are worse kickers.
Never run for an office; better
to so comport yourself and so
conduct your affairs that your
neighbors will set the Office run
ming after you.
The proposal to confine parcels
post to rural routes, if made into
law, will work in the interest of
the express companies and not
of the rural population. 1t is
foolishness.
Are patches in the yard bare
of grass? After the first thaw
sprinkle some Kentucky blue
grass on them and rake in when
ground gets dry enough. A little
white clover. too.
One of the rewards of wide
reading is the broadened outlook
it gives one on life. The we'll
told experiences of others seem
to become a part of your own
and hardly extinguishable from
them in the memory.
Take few of your best layers
out of the main house and keep
them in a place by themselves
with the best male bird you can
get. The eggs from these hens
will be your stock for the chicks
that are to be. Get up a little
higher this year.
To renew worn meadow with
out blowing it, give it a thorough
narrowing, so that the carpet of
sod is well torn to bits, then top
dress heavily, sow grass seed,
and harrow and brush smooth.
This is especially true of lane
that is shallow and stony anc
hard to pillow, land that is full Of
knobs and hollows. The process
