THE CASH REGISTER CONVICTION
CASES.

The sentence of twenty eight or so
nen, including some of the principal
'fficers of the National Cash Register
ompany to imprisonment on the
round of violation of the antitrust
aw, is a tremendous victory for the
apublican administration in Wash
ngton, as well as for the antitrust
sw itself. which our own Senator
,Imunds recently declared to still
ossess teeth"
Amid all the prosecution of trust
offenders the clamor for years was
that not a single rich man hal been
put behind the bars and for long
prosecution, Now the government is
not only dissolving trusts but 1t is also
sentencing men to prison for using
unlawful means to establish monopo-
lies.
The conviction of these men empha-
sizes the tremendous strides that have
been taken in the past few years in
the matter Of dealing with great com
binations as well as the awak enine
of the public conscience In relation &c
what Is right and what is wrong or
the part of corporation.
Time was when the men OF the Ma
tional Cash Register would simply
have been admired by many as shrewd
business men when they adopted un-
fair means to crush out rivals. A.

The practice OF distributing garden
seed free throughout the Union, long
made a practice by Congressman, is to
be discontinued. All seed on hand at
Washington for free distribution are
being forwarded in bulk to newspaper
proprietors and others to be given out
locally. The proprietor of the Banner

riety is limited, but you are welcome to
a package, or as many packages as you
can judiciously use and distribute, as
long as they last. Congressman ]. T.
Watkins, under whose frank they are
mailed, writes that it is desired that as
many of the packages as possible fall into
the hands of widow women, as many
families where there are voters have this
season and on previous occasions enjoy
ed this benefit.

Shiloh Battlefield.

Written by Mrs. D. A. McDougal Of Sapulpa,
Okla, who is a charter member of the Shiloh
Chapter, U. D. c., Savannah, Tenn, and has often
visited the battlefield.
The Tennessee swift flows beside
The city of the dead
Where Shiloh's heroes fought and died !;
1t guards their lowly bed.
There marble sentinels stand guard
Where Northern heroes sleep;
There hand Of sculptor, song of bard,
Their lasting records keep.
Soft breezes watt sweet fragrance by
From glowing beds of bloom,
And orioles make melody
Above each grassy tomb.
BY massive gates and walls of stone,
And trusted watchers care,
The North still safely guards her own
Who sleep forever there.
But all! those granite walls outside,
Forgotten and unknown,
There sleep the boys for us who died
Our Southern dead, our own!
On Shiloh's field none drawer fought
Nor loved their country more,
Nor truer hearts to service brought,
Nor nobler colors wore,
Than Dixie's sons-her bravest, best,
The soldiers of her pride,
Who faced the foe at her behest
And for just cause died.
And yet these sacred clods reveal
To-day mournful sight,
Where still, in CHASTITY, mute appeal,
Their bleaching bones CLEAN white.
Scarce hid by mother earth they lie,
| Unmatched, forget, unkept,
And to the South for justice cry,
Neglected and unwept.
No marble tells their glorious deeds
Nor marks their resting place;
No granite shaft their story pleads,
| Nor slabs their numbers trace.
No flowers bloom for them to-day
Our boys in gray so brave
And thorns and weeds, Memorial Day,
Conceal each crowded grave.
Shall we forget whose sons they were,
Though forty years have fled?
Shall our escutchepn bear this blur?
Shall we forget our dead?
o Southland women, true of heart
The nations diadem-
Go tell how we'll they bore their part
And rear stone for them!
A cleaning shaft to tell their fame
And how they bravely fell,
With honor for each martyred name
From the South they loved so well.

The Police Jury at its regular meeting
to be held on the first Monday in June
will order an election SO that the electors
of the parish may have an opportunity

1t is we'll that this mass meeting has
been held. 1t is indeed gratifying that
the attendance was so full. 1t indicates
that there is a growing sentiment within
the parish favoring the construction OF
permanent hard-surface roads, and that
means that we are to secure them. It is
for the masses to decide how this end is
to be gained. That they will vote for
the best interests of the parish in this
cause we feel convinced.
