Good As Far As II Goes

The verdict against the Standard
Oil Trust by the United States Su-
preme Court meets with universal sat
isfaction. 1t lis in line with the opin-
lon that the public generally has al
ways held-the opinion that the trust
was an octopus illegally restraining
trade and enabling Mr.. Rockefeller
and his associates to draw enormous
dividends at the expense of the CON
sumner ALI the same it will not do
to be over sanguine as to the ultimate
effect of the decision, which, strin-
gent though lit may be in some re-
spects, leaves some important things
mcleared.
1t must also be remembered that
the Standard Oil has immense wealth,
employs the highest legal talent and
leaves no stone untuned by which
1T may circumvent the law. 1t has a
reputation (which Is common to most
trusts when 1t gets into tight cor
ner, Of giving letter obedience to
law, while breaking 1T Ill to piete in
spirit. This the Standard Oil will no
doubt strive to do now that the SUI

In fact it lis rumored that it may make
its head office in London and by some
hocus pocus method continue to do
business much the same as ever.
When the public sees some shrinkage

accept in good faith the decision of
the Court, then people will believe
that new order Of things i'm business

In the meantime the decision is en-
couraging in that it shows that the
greatest monopoly lis not above the
law. 1t is encouraging also in that lit

is to plead insanity, get acquitted ON

such plea will not avail If the Wis

Nothing Is further from the truth
than to say that labor is a curse. 1t
is idleness, not work, that curses,
for 1T means poverty, discomfort, fault
finding and lowered manhood. On
the other hand all honest work, even
the most humble, uplifts and gives
dignity to the worker and promotes
comfort and happiness. In truth,
there Is no man who has so great
right to lift UP his head with honest
pride as the man who labors, whether
on the anvil, or digs bitches Such
men are valuable asset to every
community, while the habitual idler
has less than no value.

SERVED A SHORT SENTENCE.
Wayman Hunter Sent to the Chain
Gang Thursday Afternoon and Died
Saturday Afternoon.

uuS AiSIHOOus
Wayman Hunter, who was convicted
at the last term of court of House
Breaking and Larceny, and sentenced
twelve months on the chain gang, was
sent to the gang Thursday afternoon
and Saturday afternoon he was dead.
AS some rumors were circulated
among the negroes that the negro
had come to his death from the eff
fects of overwork and harsh treat
ment, Supervisor Humbert looked in
to the matter and had the coroner to
make an investigation Dr. r. r..
Walker made an examination of the
negro and came to the conclusion that
he died from the effects of cocaine
poisoning and that his death was ma
tural.
From the story of Chain Gang Guard
jim Powers, Hunter was put to light
work Thursday afternoon, as is US
ually done with new prisoners. While
at work Friday Hunter picked up his
shovel apd walked off and had to be
caught after a little struggle. While
being carried back to the rest of the
gang, the negro again broke loose
from the guards and ran into an empty
cabin saying that he wanted water
trusty was sent in after him and
another struggle ensued in which Mr.
Powers had to go to the rescue of the
trusty. In getting him under subjec-
ton, Hunter was struck three times
with small hickory stick, and these
three licks Mr.. Powers says are all
that were hit the negro at all. Seeing
that he was acting Queerly, no more
work was demanded of him. Satur-
day morning, however, Hunter ate a
hearty breakfast and so was put to
work again. About o'clock he took
violently i'll and DR.. Walker was sent
for. He pronounced the trouble as
due to cocaine and left medicine fol
the negro to take and two men were
put in charge of him. Later on he got
