COMPANY
STILL SELLING OIL
PEDDLING CHARGE APPARENT.
LIZ GIVING LITTLE TROUBLE
AND BUSINESS GOING
AS USUAL.

Feeling perfectly secure In its po-
sition regarding the method of SELL
ing and delivering oil to the retail
stores. the Standard OIL Company has
continued to do business every day in
the same old way. regardless of the
fact that the giant company has been
summoned to Magistrate Cheatham's
Oak Grove court next Friday to show
cause why 1t should not be fined for
peddling oil In the county of Chester
field without peddler's license.
While the case has attracted consid-
cradle public attention and notice, the
company seems not to be at all dis
turbed over the situation. AS yet the
local officers have not been advised
as to whether or not they will have
legal representation, and no attorney
has been mentioned In reference to
the matter.
The fact that the big oil company
IL pursuing the same business meth
dds in every large city in the United
States leaves the impression that they
are pretty well fortified in the posi-
ton they occupy. The officers OF the
company seem to feel perfectly salts
fed that they are violating no State or
Federal law in the manner of deliv-
ering their goods. and seem TO think
the charges will be dismissed when

A PEDDL|NG CASE
IN POLICE COURT

The peddling case in the Police
Court. part 2. Monday morning as pre-
scented by Officer Tinsley- lacked a
great deal to make ii complete. AS q
matter of fact. no case was made out
against d. b. Hudson. agent for w.
A. Broadie & Son, of North Fifth
street. Two white women and a half
dozen negro women were summoned
as witnesses.
Every witness testified that no sale
was made, the nearest to an order be-
ing a negro woman, who said the rea-
son she did not buy the dress pattern
offered her was because she was shy
the 81 necessary as cash payment.
Mr.. Broidie testified that he was do
ing an instaiiment business, sending
an agent from house to house show
ing samples. Orders we're taken by
these agents and filled from the house.
Agents were instructed not to deliver
any goods, but simply to take the or
ders.
u. r. Hudson. the agent, said he
only solicited orders, and that II he
had taken an order it would have been
turned into his house for delivery.
Officer Tinsley said he saw Hudson
Friday afternoon, going from house
to house. showing goods from two suit
cases. He inquired Of the people who
had been called on If the agent was
trying to sell the goods. Getting an
affirmative answer, he made the ar
rest. The case was dismissed.
1t developed in the Hudson case
that another agent of the Broidte
Company had also solicited orders in
the Southside, and two witnesses tes-
tilted that W. IL. Brooks had sold
and delivered goods from his sample
cases. 1t is understood that the case
against Brooks win be worked up ana

HUMAN NATURE
is VERY QUEER

Human nature is nowhere more
keeniy portrayed than in the daily
scenes of the police court, where I'M
fortunates of high and low degree
are brought together upon one com
mon level and even handed equity LIS
dealt out to all alike. A badly beaten
and bruised wife will line up to the
desk, her face covered in courtpiaster
and perhaps an arm in q sling, as the
result of a human brutes unhusband-
like conduct and ask that the man
be dismissed as the little ones at
home are dependent upon his labor
for their daily bread. A small boy
will throw a rock through the orna-
mental window Of a <church and with
his hands in his pocket walk away
whistling a gospel tune. In the court
the good preacher will ask that he
be not punished for his dear old
mothers sake.
