Let the Guinea Pig Now the Lawn.

If you have a lawn or a grass plot
or even a tiny back yard in which
you take sufficient pride to resent the
appearance Of obnoxious weeds get a
guinea pig. The guinea pig is said to
be an excellent weed killer and a lawn
mower as well. Turn the guinea pig
or a half dozen OF them loose on the
lawn. The animals at one attack all
the worst weeds. These broad leaved
plants, which moving machines will
no touch, are killed by the persistent
cutting Of the guinea pigs teeth

Tobacco Trust Must Dissolve.

The government on Monday won a
sweeping victory over the so-called "tO-
bacco trust" when the Supreme Court OF
the United States held the American To
bacco Company and it's allied corpora
tons to be operating in violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law.
BY directing that the combination be
forbidden the privilege of Interstate
commerce or be placed in the hands of a
receiver unless it disintegrates in har-
mony with the law within six or, at the
most, eight months, the court is regard
ed to have dealt with the tobacco cor
porations more drastically than with
the Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey, whose dissolution was ordered two
weeks ago.
Both the first and second sections OF
the Sherman antitrust law have been
violated by the so-called tobacco trust
according to the court. Not only has
it, in the eyes of the court, restrained
wrongfully and unlawfully interstate
commerce, but it has attempted to mo-
nOpolize the tobacco business to the in
jury OF the public and of it's competitors.
While the decree was regarded as I'M
usually severe, at the same time there
was touch of leniency in not making
the combination an outlaw now" The
various elements Of the combination are
to be given an opportunity, under the
supervision of the United States circuit
court for the Southern district of New
York, of re-creating so that there may
be brought about "a new condition
which shall be honestly in harmony with
and not repugnant to the law"
The opinion OF the court was announc-
ed by Chief Justice White, who also de,
livered the opinion of the court in the
| Standard Oil case. The entire court
agreed that the tobacco combination
violated the Sherman antitrust law.

In these days II a man takes
dram, or chews tobacco, or smokes,
or CANDLES, or swears, or does some
thing else equally as bad, he is either
snubbed straight out or regarded
with more or less suspicion by the
Observation-Disclosures" element OF
society in his community. But on
the other hand, if by mere preference
or a desire to do right and be a good
example to mankind, he engages in
none OF these things, ali the rest Of
she world is apt to class him as a
"goody-goody old hypocrite," and
refuse to have very much to do with
him. It now appears that one OF the
chief complaints in Washington
against Senator Lorimer, who has OF
late been very much in the public eye,
Is that he neither drinks, chews,
smokes, dips nor swears, but when
he Is not busy with his senatorial
duties, goes home and spends his
time quietly with his family. These
are very grave charges to present
against any United States Senator

Bold Robbery Saturday Night.

Mrs J. ". Gill, who lives on Hamilton
street. was attacked by negro and
robbed OF her purse last Saturday night
about ten o'clock, as she was passing
along that street, in company with her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Joseph Gill, while on
their way home from down town. The
two ladies had just turned from Garnett
into Hamilton street and had gone but
a short distance down the latter when
the negro slipped stealthily upon them,
before they had even a suspicion of his
presence, and Mrs Gill felt someone
touching her waist as il trying to get
her watch away from her. She hastily
clasped her watch with both hands and
looking around quickly, saw a negro
with an army cap on crouching close
behind her. He then suddenly seized her
wrist-bag, tearing it off her wrist, and
fired a pistol, probably to intimidate
the two ladies. They both at once began
screaming and calling for help, being
thoroughly frightened by the incident
and the firing of the pistol, while the
negro fed precipitately across Garrett
street and the railroad.
Mr.. Norman Gill and Mrs. B. F. Lerian,
who had gone down town with the two
ladies who were attacked, were walking

were attracted by the cries of Mrs. Gill
and the report of the pistol, and went
Immediately to the rescue. Mr.. Norman
Gill at once gave chase to the negro, fol-
lowing him as far sis tae Old fair grounds,
but failed to capture him. A number Of
people hearing the cries of distress fol-
lowing the report of the pistol shot,
were soon on the scene, and Others
Joined in the fruitless chase of the fleeing
negro. Word soon got out that wo-
man had been murdered by a negro,
and excitement ran high for little
while.
Mrs. Gill and the other three persons
mentioned had gone down town earlier
in the night to do some shopping. After
making several purchases at Mr.. J. W.
Beek's store and perhaps elsewhere,
they started back home, Mr.. Norman
Gill and Mrs. Lerian walking considera-
bly, in front OF the two ladies, who no.
ticed some one following them up Gar
nett street, but supposed it to be the son
OF their washerwoman and were not
alarmed until he made the attack as
above stated.
The wrist-bag stolen contained two
newspaper clippings, one OF them being
an account OF the death of Mrs. Gills
father, Mr. c. A. Lerian, of Baltimore,
and the other an account of her mar
riage; also few postage stamps and
some small change. less amount than
a dollar in all. The wrist-bag, a rather
costly one, was found day or two
later by colored boy who sold it to a
lady for a quarter. 1t was later re-
turned to Mrs. Gill, but the contents had
been extracted and retained by the rob-
Der.
1t is stated that the identity OF the
bold robber has since been pretty well
established, but so far his capture has
not been effected.

talent and standing it takes to be a
first class "knocker." You will find
that in about nine cases out of every
ten the fellow who has accomplished
little for himself and done less for the

one who wants to "knock" every
body and everything. When you
find that you'are just bound to give

Messrs. Ashcraft Bros, the pro-
gressiye and wide-awake proprietors
and publishers of the Monroe En-
quirer, last week issued large spec
ial industrial edition OF that paper,
setting forth in striking manner the
rapid and substantial growth and
development of that fiourishing little
city during the past several years.
This publication reflects high credit
not only upon the publishers but up
on one OF the very best and most
rapidly growing little cities in the
State. Monroe is a good town and
deserves all the good things that
might be said about it, and there
are no better people in the world,
outside of Henderson of course. Here
are our most hearty congratulations
to the Enquirer on the extremely
good showing it has made for its
town and community, and in this
connection we wish to add that
nothing in this special edition OF the
Enquirer has been the least over
done. 1t is all true to life, and many
OF the handsome cuts presented
bring to the mind of this writer very
pleasant recollections of Monroe and
her good people. The only criticism
we have to offer is that some OF the
cuts OF leading citizens fail utterly to
do their handsome subjects justice,
but this is fault common to most
newspaper cuts, and is not the fault
either of the publishers or the sub
iects.

ing counties feel much liyelier in
terest in the status OF the tobacco
crop than they are likely to show in
the decision OF the United States Su-
preme Court in the case OF the So

ens rather discouraging outlook for
the 1911 tobacco crop amounts to
something with the farmer, while he
fully understands that the decision
OF the Supreme Court in this noted
case will amount to but little to him.
