This became known today, serving
as an index to the democratic administration's
trust policy. It was taken
qs a forecast of possible further action
against the oil as well as the to*

investigation just completed by the department
of justice of the working of
' the oil dissolution decrees indicate
that thei ? is a problem which still
can be dealt with under the Sherman
law.
>~o Complaint Against Law.
The attorney general's complaint
is not against the Sherman law, but
nsrainst the decrees of dissolution in
terpreting the decisions of the United j
States supreme court ordering the dis- ;
memberment of the Standard Oil and 1
Tobacco conbinations into separate j
competitive parts.
He is firmly convinced that no trust,1
as in these two cases, can be ad?- !
quately dissolved bv a pro-rata dis- j
- - i
tribution of the stock or its aisinie- >
grated parts among the same stockholders
who controlled the original
combination. A community of combination
is bound to exist, h? believes,
and competition cannot follow such
dissolution. The position of the attorney
general is regarded as pregnant
with far-reaching possibilities on the
trust question or tne iuture. wnuej
each. combination must be dealt with !
as a separate problem, officials point
out that experience indicates that dissolutions
of the future must b? such
that the control of disintegrated
trusts will pass to new hands.
An "Obvious Subterfuge."
It has been known that Mr. Mc"DAimrslrlfi
1 ArkVn/1 nrvAn *f0V10r*n r\ rlic
IVCJUUIUO upv^a wnv/ i-vwuvvv
solution "as an "obvious subterfuge,"
but it did not develop until today
that he likewise placed the Standard
Oil dissolution in the category of inadequacy.
Neither the Standard Oil j
nor the Tobacco trust decrees, int*:ipreting
the decisions of the supreme
court, was appealed. Although the
attorney general has reached no final
decision the concensus of opinion of j
the government lawyers at this time
is that it is now too late to open up
the decree in either case and what- j
ever action is taken probably will be
supplemental.
From Charles B. Morrison and Olive
E. Pagan, his special assisiarits, the
attorney general has heard the result
of their investigation of the oil situation
and is now deliberating whether
the district attorney will be justified
in taking further action under the
Sherman law. Should it reach the
conclusion that a trust still exists,
it is pointed out that three plans of
action are open to the attorney general.
A civil suit for the dissolution
of any new combination: maictmeni
of individuals, or contempt of court
proceedings.

adopted at a recent conference of
cotton dealers urging the ginners of
South Carolina to adopt a standard I
gin box. The commissioner said that
the Standard gin box was required by
practically all of the railways and the
steamship companies and that millions
of dollars a year would be saved
in freight on cotton shipments. The
standard gin box proposed is 24 by
54 inches.
The following is the resolution:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of this
conference that a standard gin box
be 24 by 54 inches.
' 1 " -L J
"Resolved, Tnat tne suinuaru
weight of a bale of cotton should be
approximately 500 pounds.
"Whereas, the American cotton
bale is notoriously unsatisfactory, and
that there results a loss of many mil
lkns of dollars annually by reason of
irregular packages, insufficient covering
and careless handling, and
" microac it ic undprst.ood that the

congress of the United States is contemplating
investigation and possibly
legislation with the object of improving
conditions, and '
"Whereas, this conference includes
representatives of the cotton ex-,
changes, buyers, exporisrs, compress
.associations, cotton ginners, railroads
and ocean carriers.

"Be ii resolved, That a special

chairman of this conference to take !
the necessary steps to place before
congress such data as will assist in
the following improved conditions in
handling cotton:
"1. A standard gin box of dimensions
of 24x54 inches.
"2. A standard weight per bale of
approximately 500 pounds.
"3. A bale so co^-red that the cotton
will be thoroughly protected
against damage in trau&iL wucu
eriy handled.
"4. The marking of the bale so as
to insure identification at destination.
"Whereas, the American bale of
cotton has for generations past been
universally condemned as the most
nf -wasteful and .in

efficient commercialism, because of
the utter lack of protection given to
a very valuable product by unsuitable,
flimsy and insufficient covering, and
handling co'ton.
"Whereas, the government experts
have figured the loss resulting from
the present system, as high as $50,
000,000 per nnivn.
"Be it resolved, That this conference
of ship agaents, representing the
North and South Atlantaic and Gulf
ports of -this country, hereby calls
upon the cot on carrying railroads 1
and all other interests to take |
prompt steps to do their part in co- '
operation with steamship interests to j
end the present shameful methods of
handling this, the second greatest j
crop in the Uni':ed States."
The above resolutions were unni- '
r.-mnslv nrlonted.
Roads Did >'ot Tote.
"Be it resolved, That if any hale
does not show the density of 22 1-2
pounds per cubit foot, if not repressed
to the required density, shall pay
an extra freight of 50 cents per bale.
"Bales of larger measurements that
can not be pressed to a minimum density
of 22 1-2 pounds per cubit foot
shipside, sahll pay an extra freight
of $1 per bale; that this penalty be
assessed as soon as possible after the
bale laves the gin."
These vere carried unanimously
with the exception that the railroad
interests did not vote either "yes" or j
"no."

Orangeburg, June 6.?J. C. Boykin,
a white farmer of fi?is county, formerly
living between Orangeburg and
Bowman, who was thought to have
met with foul play, as he has been
missing from his home since May 15,

A letter from H. L. Solomon of Estill
[to Sheriff A. M. Salley states that
Boykin is now working near Estill at
a sawmill. Boykin left his wife and
several children. He had been threatened
by citizens of the community in
which he had been living and at one

it was thought that he had met with

to receive their diplomas on Friday,
June 13, in the year 1913. The combination
is something that can not be
beaten again in centuries, they say,
and they are tickled mightily at the

The elders of the sanguine young
graduates are shaking their heads.
They tried to get t'ne board of education
to change the date of graduation.
The board referred the matter
to the pupils, and the pupils vigorously
opposed any change of date.
"It is such a perfectly complete
hoo-doo," said one of the school girls
today, "that we wouldn't think of
lettinga nything interfere with it. We
have taken an oath to be at the graduation,
every one of us, if we are
well enough to stand. If the 13 influence
