After the Telephone Monopoly.-

After the Telephone Monopoly
Dissolution Of the alleged telephone
monopoly on the Pacific coast by the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co
the so-called Bell Telephone Trust
is sought by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds in civil antitrust suit flee
at Portland, oregon last Thursday
The government charges the giant
corporation and it's subordinates with
absorbing Independent telephone COM
panies to destroy competition, and cre-
ate a monopoly in Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana and Idaho, in violation OF
the Sherman law. This is the first at
tempt ever made to apply the Fedora
anti trust statute to the telephone sit
uation. Telephone companies have
claimed that the telephone, like the
railroad, Is a natural monopoly, and
that a single system is conductive tC
the best interests of the public. The
department of justice contends that II
is a question of public policy for con.
gress to determine.
1t is declared that the suit filed
yesterday will not interfere with the
sweeping investigation proposed by
the interstate commerce commission
determine whether the Sherman law
should be invoked generally with the
purpose of enforcing competition OIL
whether monopoly should be permitted
or encouraged under regulation similar
to that of railroads. This step was
taken in the west because the attorney
general believed there existed a peculi-
ar situation demanding immediate at
tention to cure evils said to have beer
brought about by unfair practices and
illegal combinations.

South Carolina Again Separate Col

South Carolina Again Separate Col
lection District.-President Wilson has
issued an executive order that the state
Of South Carolina, now part of the
fourth internal revenue district OF
North Carolina, be detached and here
after constitute one collection district
to be known as the district Of South
Carolina.
The order becomes effective upon th'
appointment and qualification Of a
collector
The president has not yet sent to the
senate the name of collector for the
new district.
The revenue district of South Caro-
lima was abolished by President Taft
about a year ago, jurisdiction in this
state being given to the fourth district
including North and South Carolina,
with a collector having headquarters
at Raleigh Wheeler Martin is the COL
lector for the district. The late Micah
Jenkins, who was appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was collector of inter-
nal revenue for South Carolina at the
time the office was abolished. He be-
came deputy collector for the district
but served only a short time before
death removed him.
An effort has been under way for
some time to have South Carolina re-
stored to an independent district, but
not be done. Recent representations
toward this end were disappointing,
and the determination Of the president
to restore the district will cause some
surprise and much satisfaction. The
Office of collector Is a very desirable
one, and it Is probable that there will
be lively fight for the appointment.

Mr.. J. F. Watson, who lives In the

both cotton and corn to be better at
this season, his crops were rather bet
ter than the average. The neighbor-
hood in which he lives has been visited
by rains at pretty nearly regular inter-
walls almost as needed, and although
the cotton is small, 1t is remarkably
well fruited. He has seen quite lot

Senator B. R. Tillman let out COM
plaint the other day that there was nc
fried chicken to be had in Washing
ton that was fit to eat and to prove
that he was mistaken, the good house
wives of the city and surrounding
country began bombarding him with
specimens Of their cooking. The sena-
tors clerks and many Of his friends
even those from the south who know
what fried chicken really Is, had q
great feast; but alas for the senator
himself, none Of 1t was good. He is
unable to realize that the change that
has taken place is in him, rather than
in the quality Of the chicken.

seed or maybe deliberately. The idea
may be practicable; but there Is
large element of doubt in it. :
Think.

MINK.
If the average individual has ont
fault that is worse than another, thai
fault Is his neglecting to think.
1t has been said that not more thar
one individual out of hundred really
tries to think, and that this one does
the thinking for the ninety mine 9TH
ers. and we believe this to be true.
So natural Is the common disincli.
nation to think that we are ready tt
venture that five out Of six Of the peo.
pie who glance over the heading above
will at once skip this article because
the subject is distasteful. But never
theless, the principal difference In the
usefulness and efficiency Of men hinges
around their capacity and willingness
to think.
Often we hear energy lauded as one
of the highest and best qualities OF the
Individual, and in sense the lauda-
ton is correct; but what does energy
amount to without thought? AS mat
ter of fact 1t is a common thing to see
men who are constantly expending as
much energy as is characteristic of
cock-roach in a hot skillet; but unless
there Is thought behind their energy II
Is expended with no better purpose
than that of the cock-roach.
Send two men fishing If you want to
and the chances are nine out OF ten
that one will assume the leadership In
every move, and the other will become
a follower, all because one of them
thinks and the other does not. The
same will apply to practically every
act of human endeavor, whether In the
line of sport. pleasure or creative USE

or course we would not suggest tina,
one man should not follow in the lines
blocked out by another. That would be
very absurd; but we do say that the
man who follows without knowing OF
thinking where he is going is an objec,
of sympathy. 1t is not necessary to as
sumo that the follower Is in any spe-
cial danger, or anything Of that kind;
but merely that It Is best for him II
know of his own knowledge what he Is
doing and what for.
1t is a matter of common agreement
that the world. and particularly Amer
lea has made more progress during the
past few years than during any previ-
Gus fifty years in history, and to the
man who thinks, the explanation Is SC
simple as not to be worth stating
There has been a great spread OF
knowledge through the printed page
and the schools, and much larger
number of people have been taught to
think. o.. .:.s .. .. --.

"There is a Demand."-The Green
Vile Piedmont inquiries, Has anybody
seen anything of the demand from the
people that John L. McLaurin run LOT
goyernor?" The Yorkville Enquirer
replied by saying, about the most no.
ticable manifestation so far, has been
the effort of hostile newspapers to dis
courage the idea" Well said. There
are a number Of newspapers In this
state that hope to keep down any ef-
fort of the people to make their own
choice for this high Office. but all the
same should the people demand the
services Of man for this or any other
office, the newspapers by their con-
certed effort to keep their wishes from
being made known, will only intensity
matters and make votes. There has
been nothing from McLaurin 80 far as
we have seen that would Indicate q
desire on his part to permit himself
to be set up as a target for the news
papers and the politicians to misrepre-
sent and abuse; but there has been
much said by people in the way OF ex-
pressing a wish that he would be a
candidate for governor. 1t Is well
known that the Times editor and Sen
ator McLaurin are personal friends
have been for years, and 1t would be q
ing him governor Of this state, but we
know the man so we'll, that we feel
satisfied he will not be induced to
make the race as factional candidate,
notwithstanding the attempt on the
part of some newspapers to make 1t
appear that McLaurin Is to be Blease's s
candidate in the next primary. Should
McLaurin decide to enter the contest II
will be solely in the interests Of the
masses regardless Of factional aff1lia-
tions, and with the purpose of endeav-
oring to do something for the general
welfare.
Governor Blease spent day in Hen
dersonville recently and was shown
courtesies by Senator McLaurin. Inn
mediately there went over the wires
that this visit Of the governor had po-
litical significance, when as matter OF
fact, we are told by one who knows,
that politics were discussed but little
and only In general way. However
later developments will show whether
or not Mr. McLaurin will throw his hat
in the ring. If he does 1t may be safe
bet that he is satisfied the call for him
iustifies the step, whether the news
favor him or not-Manning Times.

northern people upon the spectacles
which their hot-blooded southern
neighbors create Surely 1t will be a
great day.

- Bennettsville, July %: The road
law for Marlboro county requires tha'
all able bodied men between certain
ages shall pay a Communication tax OF
$3.50 or else work on the pubic roads
six days. It has been the custom Tor
some time to allow those who failed to
pay the tax within the time prescribed
by law, and against whom executions
were issued, to pay $3.50 In lieu OF
working the six days. M. ]. Minis
who lived at the Bennettsville cotton
mill, failed to pay his Communication
tax, and after the execution was Is
sued against him, he refused to pay
the $3.50 or TO work the six days.
Under the state law, such refusal Is
a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine
or Imprisonment. A warrant was Is
sued for Minis, but he disappeared
and was gone some time. He came
back to the mill village, however, ana
was arrested and brought before
Magistrate E. Powers. where ne plead
guilty to the charge against him. and
was fined $3.50 which he paid on
July 8. Minis appealed to Governor
Blease who issued a full pardon to
him on July II. Armed with this
pardon, Mr.. Minis and his attorney,
D. D. McColl. attempted on Saturday
to get back the $3.50 which Minis
had paid to the magistrate. Magis-
trate Powers had turned the money
over to the county treasurer. and of
course could not refund 1t, If he had
been so inclined. Treasurer N. b.
Rogers refused to pay the money out
of the county treasury except on an
order duly approved and issued by
the county commissioners. Super
visor Coward was appealed to, and
after consulting an attorney, he took
the position that he had no right to
order the refunding Of the $3.50 on
account of the pardon; that after a
man had served his sentence or paid
his fine, a pardon can do nothing
more than restore him to citizenship.
II the other county commissioners
take the same view Of 1t as does Mr..
Coward, the fine will not be refunded
except by order Of the court. Mr..
McColl will probably take the case
to the courts and have the matter
tested.
