The indictment for running a
cotton corner of James A. Pat
ten, Eugene G. Scales of New
York, and Frank B. Hayne and
William P. Brown of New Or
leans which was found by a Fed
eral court of N. Y. charging the
four with having violated the
Sherman antitrust law has been
held good by the United States
Supreme court and the defend
ants must go on trial on the mer-
it's of the case. The defendants
were charged with a conspiracy
to corner the cotton market and
advance the prices excessively,
out of which they would make a
profit Of $40, 600, 900. This was
in January 1910. Before the
defendants could be placed on
trial the United States Circuit
court for southern New York
held four of the counts insult
fcient and that the defendants
could not be made to go on trial.
The government appealed from
this ruling and the case just
handed down forces the defend
ants to trial for violating the
Sherman antitrust law.

Governor Woodrow Wilson has
recommended to the New Jersey
legislature the enactment of a
law that will drive large corpor-
atoms from the state. New Jer-
sey has invited all classes of cor

have been so liberal that there
has never been any interference
with the corporations that have
establis he'd monopolies in many
lines of business. Mr.. Wilson
seeks to rid the state of this evil.
Should the corporations be driven
out no other state with such lib
eral laws offer a location for
them.

In last issue appeared an arti-
Gle from''A Tupelo Mother" who
assigns a number of reasons why
the pool room on Spring street
should not be re-opened. This
article should be read and care
fully considered. Any pool room
furnishes a ''hangout place" for
young men and boys without
employment and money, and the
one here is not an exception.
When the ladies appeared before
the Mayor and Board of Alder
men with a petition in the sum-
mer asking the board not to
grant license to Mr.. Hutchinson
the latter was present and stated
that he ran the pool room in &C
cordance with his agreement and
while he gambled himself he
would not permit gambling or
drinking in the room. We make
this statement in justice to Mr..
Hutchinson against whom we
have no opposition in his efforts
to make a livelihood for his fam
lily, at the same time we are Of
the opinion that the pool room
should not be re-opened and we
place ourselves on record against
if.

Man Bought a Bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone, Then Took
1t Back and Asked For His
Money and Got 1t.

A man recently tried out the guaran-
tee which Clifton's Pharmacy gives
with every bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone. He bought a bottle and then
went back to the drug store and said
the medicine hadn't helped him.
The druggist just reached into his
cash register and took out a half dollar
the price of the bottle OF Liver Tone,
and handed it back to the gentleman.
But he did't take the money. He own
ed up that he was just trying the guar
antee and as a matter of fact, he had
found Dodson,s Liver Tone the best
remedy for constipation and biliousness
he had ever tried. why" he said,
my wife wouldn't be without a bottle
in the house for anything. It's the
best thing in the world for the whole
family, and the medicine I prefer to
take or to give to children for a lazy
liver.
Clifton's Pharmacy sell Dodson's
Liver Tone and guarantees it to start
the liver without violence. 1t is taking
the place of calomel everywhere. If
you buy a bottle and don't find this
pleasant-tasting vegetable liquid the
best thing to start a lazy liver, he will
hand your money back with a smile.

1t is said that John Sharp Will

Wilson to place Zeke Gambler,
congressman from the Corinth
district, at the head of the de-
partment Of agriculture. To
keep the pace set by Secretary
Wilson will be no small task, but

OPPORTUNITY

They do me wrong who say | come no more,
When once l knock and fail to find you in;
For every day l stand outside your door
And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win.
Wall not for precious chances past away,
Weep not for golden ages on the wane!
Each night l burn the records of the day
At sunrise every soul is born again!
Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped,
To vanished joys be blind and deaf and dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past with it's dead,
But never bind a moment yet to come.
Though deep in mire, wiring not your hands, and
weep;
| lend my arm to all who say L can!'
No shame-faced outcast ever sank so deep
But yet might rise and be again a man.
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast?
Dost reel from righteous Retribution's blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of the past
And find the futures pages white as snow.
Art thou a mourner Rouse thee from thy spell;
Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven;
Each morning gives thee wings to flee from hell,
Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven.
