C. J. MILLER: For Sniff. & Tax Collector.

c. J. Miller is one of that list
whom we mentioned perhaps two
months ago, as having declined to
enter the Sheritf's race this year.
Charley had virtually but not formal
ly reached such a decision at that
time, though he did not authorize US
to make that statement. Since then,
however, he has been urged anew to
make the race and has yielded to
such solicitations.
Speaking geographically of him,
would say that G. j. Miller is a son
of j. M. Miller who dwells in the Fork
of the rivers. He is a brother of ex-
sheriff Jno. e. Miller, and also of
Alex, Jim and others of that family
which has been prominent in the af-
fairs of Greene County for years and
Is connected by blood and marriage
with several of the other prominent
families. Charley is 81 years old.
He moved from out of the fork of the
rivers some seven years ago, not well
blessed with this worlds goods,
which condition is still his, as he
has had a large family to support,
and much sickness, being himself so
under the weather once that he had
to go off to Tate Springs, Tenn, and
since that he had to go to Mobile to
be operated upon for Appendicitis.
At the beginning Of his residency
here he took work in the John Miller

W. l.. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government:
Should Obtain Publicity by a
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to-
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
lions. The method Of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to g.
corporation doing a large and legit1-
mate business, such as would be pos.
sible under the licensing plan which
l favor, writes w. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps.
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
u~nattainable. They employ able
young men who have ne capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law it Is.
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses,
to all manufacturers and corporations,
in this country who do an interstate.
commerce business. :
The law should be made so clear.
plain and definite that it could not be-
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public &C
%countaint. There should be a board
Of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as u ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex-
! anime the records Of all the direc'
torates of these companies.

he did what he had no right to do
says the supreme court Of Georgia In

new trial following his conviction OF
homicide. Upon this subject the cour'
says in it's opinion: -
1T may be stated as a general rule
that if a trespass on person or proper

the trespasser will be justifiable il
necessary to prevent it; but a trespas:
which amounts to a misdemeanor only
will not justify killing"
This means that the man who shoot:
