THE PEOPLESs *O-N VPOL 12-NO 6 OL i.-NO 6.PICKEiNS, S. C., THURSD)AY, MARCH 6, 1902. -- - .- - ... . . 9 ~~ v w a THE NSW MISASURES REGULATING TRUSTS One Prohibits Combinations and the Other Provides Means to Secure Testimony in Alleged Violations. The Legislature had before it a num ber of measures proposing to regulate the " trusts." But two of these meas ures got through, and one of them was almost emasculated by the Senate. This was the W. J. Johnson bill, a copy of the Hogg anti-trust law on the Tcxas statute books. The Senate passed it after eliminating the affidavit required of corporations. This aflida vit is said to have been the one feature of the bill most objectionable to cor porations. The other measure which got through the Legislature was a bill introduced by Mr. DeB,uhl, and is a measure seeking to give the attorney general full power under which to proceed against the trusts. Two years ago the Legislature instructed the attorney genei'al to proceed to investigate the operations of certain corporations. As no appropriation for expenses was I made, the attorney general was unable c to accomplish anything. Last year the I Legislature made an appropriation for I this purpose, and the attorney general I miad an investigation which led to the t suit against the Virginia-Carolina c Che'nical company. a In order that the attorney general t might have no stumbling block put, in his way in future investigations, Mr. C DeBruhl introduced the bill, (which has become a law with the Governor's C signature,) " providing a proceduresto enable the attorney general to secure c testimony in relation to the violation & of acts prohibiting trusts and combina- c tions and violations of law by corpora- 1 -tions."1 The act declares: c Section 1. That whenever the attor- it ney general has determined to com mence an action or proceeding, under t the act entitled "1 an act to prohibit 1 trubti and combinations and to provide 1 penalties," or any acts amendatory c thereto, or any acts now or hereafter 1 of foi 'e, relating to the prohibition or 8 prevention of trusts, combinations or 8 monopolies, or against corporations, i foreign or domestic, for any violation it of any acts now or hereafter of force t of this State, he may prescit. to any I justice of the supreme court, or any a circuit judge, either before or aftei il beginning such action or proceeding, u an application in writing, for an order C directing the persons mentioned in the t application to appear before a justice 8 of the supreme court, a circuit, ju(lge 1 or a referee designated in such order, and answer such questions as may be a put to them or to any of them, and produce such papers, documents and a books concerning any alleged illegal j contract, arrangement, agreement, f trust, monopoly, or combination or t corporate acts in violation of law; and it shall be the duty of the justice of i the supreme court, or the circuit judge, t to whom tuch iapphcation for the order I is made, to grant such application. c The application upon the proper show ing for the necessity for such order I made by the attorney general, must I show upon information or belief, or b otherwise, that the testimony of such i person or persons is tnaterial and c necessary. The order shall be granted v by the justice of the supreme court, or I the circuit judge, to whom the app~lica- 1 tion has been madle, with such prehi- 1 minary injunction or stay as may ap) pear to such justice or circuit, judge to r be proper andl expedienit, and~ shall r specify the time when, and pilace wvhere I the witnesses are requiredl to appear, and such examination shall be held either in the city of Colum-< hia or in the judical dlistrict in which the witness resides, or in which the principal oflice, wvithin this 8Sate, of the corporation affected, I is located. Thme justice, judge or ref - eree may adljourni such examination fromm time to time, and witnesses must, i *. at~tend~ accordlingly. Th'le testimony of I ** each witness must be subscribed by him, except in case t~he testinm ny bei taken andl subscribed by a sworn stenog ~,rapher, and all such testimony must, be filed in the ollice of the clerk of the county in which such order for exami nation is fIled. Sec. 2. Thle ordIer foir such examina * tion mnust be signied by the justice or -judlge making it, aiid the service of a cop)y thereof, with an endorsement, by the attforney general, signed by him, to the effect that the personi namedl theremn is reqtliired to appear aind be ex aminedl at the time andl place, andl be fore the justice, circuit judge or ref eree specified in such endorsement, shall be sufllcient notice for the atten (lance of the witnesacs. Such e-ndorse mnent may contiam a clause requiring such person to p~rodluce on such ex amination all books, palpers andl docum ments ini his possession, oi under his *control, relating-to the sub1ject of such examination.

CASTOR IA For Inf'~nts and Children. The Kimi You Have Always Dought Bears the THE STORY OF "OLD HOCK." Bill Arp Writes About a Good Old Elnglishnian in the Confed erate Ariny. Atlantta Constitutionl. Of courtse -of course It was Tom Moore. How came I to say that Burns wrote that pretty ballid beginning " And I know by the smoke that so gracefully curled?" I know better and the edlitor should have corrected it, for lie knew better, too. What is an editor for if he does not correct a " lapsus pLennae" like that? But I am glad I made the mistake for it has brought me three letters and a postal kindly cor recting me, and )r-ves that the peopleI ho read the old-time authors are not [ill dead. The last line of that verse aIlways reinids ie of a good old man, A comrade, Captain .Johin llockenhull, in inglishimaii by birth, but a Georgia rebel who used to recite poetry for us Around tie camp fires in 1862 and 1,863. We cilled him "Old Ilock" and every ')ily loved lim, for he wis i cockiey uaid dropoped the li's where he should not, and vice versa.

The ''Exile >f E Ill," which lie called the '1 Jlexilo )f hierii," was another of his favorities le learnied these poems from his sweet icart while lie was an apprentice in 1 loilon-an orplimi boy bound for even years to a hardi master, a %brewer, nd his daily service was to carry the jars of malt fromn the cellar up a Ilight f stona steps to the floor above. lie never had a kind word fron his master, mnd one day lie tripped and tell and b)roke a ji- and was bitterly abused for it, anid told that he had forfeited the t'a that he was to get, when his term was out. lie was then eighteen and had yet thiee years to toil at his hard, nimiotouous work. That night lie poured out his heart to the girl lie loved and declared lie would riu away and go to America on the first sail vessel that left the port. That lie would make some money here and send it to her if she would promise to e mie to him, and then they would marry and be so happy-and she promised. Within a week the opportunity came. ie told one of the sail irs his sad story aiid the sailor tol the mate, and they took him aboard by night and hid hiu down in the hold of the ves el until the good ship had weighed anchor and was far out to sea. " Old flock" told it all to us one cold night at Manassas and how sad and sweet was his last kiss, his last embrace, his last good bye. lie choked niu sometimes and the tears glistened inl his eyes, but it wis a pretty story and Dickens could have built, upon it and made a tender ro mance. -This was away back in the forties when our State was building the Western andl Atlantic railroad and wvanted laborers and1( hiad sent a man to New York to lure immigrants as they landed at Castle Garden. "' Old Ihock " did not have to wait a (lay, but was hired andl shipped to At laiitia and fr-om there to Allatoona, wher-e he diid his first work. lie saidl bie did not feel safe upon the ocean voyage or in New Yoirk harbor, for he feared lie might in somne way be caught is a fugitive and taken back, but wheni lie got to Al latoona anid saw the woods ill around himn and thle high hills and leep i-avines andl mingled with goodl kind-hear-ted mien and1( wonmn, lhe felt safe and frece.

Cheap Rations for Horses and Mules B To 1 o Editor ol'T c Mountaineer: Farmers fron various aections of the State have been writing asking about r the advisability of feeding horses and r mules on cotton seed meal and hulls and also asking for a cheaper ration than corn. 11- The following prices are given in a letter from Scranton, 8 U. : Corn $40 per ton; oats, $45 per ton; wheat bran, $25 per ton; cotton seed meal $26 per ton; rice meal, $22 per ton. Of course corn an1id oats are out of the question as q food for horses and mules at the above prices s something cheaper must be looked for. The analysis shows that rico moal has about the sarno composition as corn meal and YWe have found that it is just ae good f for feediug pigs. We have fed it to horses Oith good results. I think we arc safe in say iug that it may bo used in Place Of corn pound for pound. If no hay or fodder is used in the Sratioll and hulls are resorted to as rough loss some nitrogenous food such as bran i or (otton seed meal must be used to 4) Iuipply protein. Ilulls nay be fed with . out any further fear of in*Jury to the ani 1 mid. Should they refuse to eat the hulls at little corn mecal or bran sprinkled over -lte surface will tempt them. A gootd cheal) ration may be mado up as follows: v Six pounids of rice costing 6.6 cents; d fiiur pounis of wheat bran costing 5.0 Ceit.s: tWo poIuind of cotton seed meal, costilg 2 5 cents ; ten pounds of cotton seed hulls, costing 1.0 cents ; total cost of ration per day m 1. 'lTe above is for at horse or mule of 1,411u0 pou nids inl live weight. It is evident that a ration madue p of rd coirn and fodder and contaiining the same m iount of digestible matter as the above iu ratioi would cost much more than the he above. The North Carolina experiment station has fed cotton seed meal and hulls to horses with good results, but the experi mnents along this line have not been ex tensive enough t) say that cotton seod meal can he fed in unlimited quantities is' for' any length of time without injury to Xst the aninal.
