people. Back in the sos the advocates of Agricultural and indus
trial Education promised that if given the tax of Csc per ton on the
commercial fertilizers sold in the State, the Trustees would organize
not only a n efficient system of inspection and analysis to protect the
farmers from imposition in the purchase of their main commodity,
but with what remained after paying the cost of this protection. would
build and operate a College. During the history of the College, the tag
tax has averaged $11O,2t762. For the past three fiscal years it has

ton and interest on the Clemson and Landscript Funds. The South
Carolina Experiment Station is supported entirely by funds from the
u. s. Department OF Agriculture, and has n o part in the College work.

MONOPOLY" BILL OUT
OF ANTITRUST SERIES
Administration AbandOns Plan
to Push Through a Defini-
ton Measure.

WAsHISGroS. March 12.-Announcemen
was made to-day from an ofYicial source
that the Administration has abandoned
its plan for trying TO amend the Sherman
law 80 as to define by legislation what

been reached by the President apparently
after fruftless effort TO bring order gu,
OF chaos in the trust legislative pro-
gramme, So many difficulties were en-
. countered In an effort to frame legislation
that would define just what the Admins
tration desires to punish as monopoly that
1t has been finally decided to accept the
definition OF the courts as they have con-
strued the Sherman law in Furnishing
monopoly.
Some OF the ablest lawyers on the
Senate and House committees which have
been considering the proposed trust leeis-
laiion have been very sceptcal as to the
constitutionalty Of some of the proposals
put forward by the President and his 40
visers in the executive departments.
The plan for making price discrimina-
ton as between different purchasers OF
commodities a penal offence was probabl
one of the most troublesome features of
the bills. Efforts TO remedy It by various
provisos suggested did not meet the s!tua-
ton.
The President has decided that the sup
Elementary legislation Of a deanitive char
acter should be confined to making a per-
sonal application OF guilt for the creation
Of the monopolies as described BY the
present law and interpreted by the su-
preme Court.
The President let II be known to-day
that he had accepted this view. II was
learned also that the President believes
distinction should be drawn by the
judiciary Committee between holding
companies. on which the ban Ia TO be
placed. and what the President terms
owning companies.
Mr.. Wilson considers that perfectly
legitimate cases may exist where a cor

sary to incorporate In another State In
