4 FLAYS TRUSTS. SpMdi on BH! to Prohibit PmI of L2L Inttrest by SENATOR JEFF DAVIS. The Newly-Seated Senator from Ar- le—— Loeea Little Time in Hi* Promined Cnuiade Againut Trusts and Capitalists.—He Ilelivera Speech in Senate Filled With Sen sational Declarations. Passionate oratory marked the proceedings of the Senate Wednes day. Senator Davis, of Arkansas, who when elected declared that he would attack the trusts immediately after; taking his seat, fulfilled his promise although he was a few days late in doing so. The speech wa.- filied with sensational declaration and was given with that vigor for which the Arkansas Senator is fam ed in his own State. ? Quaint phrasing pointed denuncia tionand evidences of intense emotion characterised his remarks. He was given a careful hearing by the Sena tors, and the galleries was well filled throughout the time he held the floor. Beginning shortly before 1 o'clock he spoke for a little more than an hour. Senator Davis began by declaring that it was not his purpose to retain his seat in the Senate until his hair shall have turned gray before taking S } his work actively in that body. e proposed to present quickly,fear ly and as intelligently as he might some of the living, burning ques tions before the American people. It was for that reason he had de termined to speak upon his bill to suppress trusts, pools, combinations and conspiracies. After declaring that his bill, vigorously enforced would killed the trusts Senator Da Vis, with dramatic effect, challenged any Senator to step forward and con test the issue with him. Speaking of the annual appropria tions for the expenses of the G >vern meat, amounting to $900,000,000, he turned to Senator Beveridge an add ed: “Pile up that amount of money on this floor and let my good lookingr young friend, the Senator from in Him*, start to count it. He wouk be as old as Methuselah before he could count half of it.” The senator detailed appropria tions madeformai itainingthe White Houae. "And yet,” he continued, “Presi dent Roosevelt has but live children —at home.” The inadvertence of speech brought laughter from all parts of the cham ber. “Everything,” declared Senator Davis, ‘ is in a trust except acorns and persimons. “Holy writ admonished us to go into the vineyard and work. I have found nothing in the good book tnat warrants any of us going into the vineyard to corner all the grapes. ‘The PresidenJL”--be said., “Jiaa taken off the dollar the words Tn God We Trust.* It’s time to take it off. I wonder what the Grand Old Parte is going to put on the dollar? “This panic was started by these trust magnates and stock gamblers in order that they might take from the cotton prod beers half of their property,” he added. ■ ^ :' “1 am for the under dog, Senator McLaurin,” he said addressing the Senator from Mississippi, who sat before him. “Whenever you hear of a dog fight just say, 'Jeff Davis is for the Under dog.’ He read some statistics on the Standard Oil Company, and stepping out into centre aisle stamped his foot and said: r- “The Standard Oil is the old he— -truet of the country. It is the trust that has all the paraphernalia and , ear-marks of a trust. 1 dislike Stan dard Oil. I hate the smell of coal oik Petroleum makes me sick. Oh, sir, something ought to be done to cur tail the neat power of this monstrous trust—John D. Rockefeller's trust— the great Standard Oil Trust. “I undertake to say,” he continu ed, “that if this bill is enacted into a law and faithfully and honestly exe cuted, trusts will be wiped from the face of the earth and no longer will we feel their grinding and destroy ing grip on the arteries of trade and commerce.” \ A domestic corporation found fix ing the price of any article would, by his bill, he said, have its charter for feited, and any corporation guilty of such and act would not be allowed to do business in the United States. “The trust evil,” said Senator Davis, "id a cancerous sore on the body politic, just as upon the human body. The only remedy, the only aucceesful treatment is the surgeon’s knife. Cut it out by the root, destroy the virus before the whole twdy pol itic is affected uod destroy uk” ° Congress should not hesitate in the work of destroying the trusts be cause of any fear of unsettling busi ness. he continued. He spoke of the too, that before I had been in the State six months the trust magnates would have me feeding out of their lands. I may share crumbs with a Lazarus, but I swear to you today, by every God in the calendar, that I shall never eat from the hands of mammon. I want to say to you, air. and to the members of this Senate, that you need not lose any deep about a cor poration getting its rights. You need not lose any sleep about unjust dis criminations against them. They will take care of themselves. But rather should our solicitude be for the man who bears the burdens of the Gov ernment.” inis is an age when men have gone mad in their frenzied efforts for the dollar. This is an age when T.oney is placed above man; when gold is placed above man; when gold is placed before God; when we would lell our souls, our Government, our ill for one bright smile frojn the gold )f mammon. What is money, Mr President, that it is held so priceless. You cannot eat it, you cannot wear it; vour shroud has not pockets in it, and St. Peter will not received for admission into the Golden Gates. "When we look to the leading cause for ' this great wealth upon the part of these corporations and the causes leading to their formation, to the formation of trusts, we arc compell ed to go no further than Republican authority itself, and take the sworn testimony of Mr. Havemeyer, the great sugar king, who has gone to his reward, be it good or bad. who has gofte to that land and that clime where St. Peter d6es not take sugar in his,’ and where money is of no value. • / He recalled Mr. Havemeyer'sstate ment before the industrial commis sion, that "the tariff is the mother of trusts.” — "Under the operation of the sys tem of government,” he said, “Mty- one men in the United States, multi millionaires, if yotr please, have amassed a total fortune of $3,295, 300,000. Of this fifty-one John D. Rockefeller, the old king of the world, leads with $600,000,000; An drew Carnegie, the steel king of the world, follows with half this amount.” The Secretary of Commerce ant Labor has calculated, he said, that all of the property owned by 89,000, 000 American citizens is $107,000,- 000,000, so that these fifty-one citi zens own one thirty-fifth of the en tire wealth of the nation. " “What an alarming concentration of wealth; what an alarming concen tration of power,” he declared. "In this day and time money is king; money is god. Without it the doors of opportunity are dosed; the doors of society are shut. Yea, even in sortie instances the doors of the church do not welcome so enthusias tically the man in rags and tatters as the man with millions. Now shall this condition continue? How shall this Government be saved? One way and one way only, that fo to kill, de stroy the sources of all this evil—the trusts.” — 1 He explained that his bill would not permit corporations to sell their products Tn one put Iff the country at a less price than they sell suen products in another part. “What is needed to-day by the trust magnates or this Union in or der to make them respect the law and obey its solemn mandates,” he said, “is that they be treated like or dinary fwlom^ is that the strong arm SPOOK HALTS HORSE And Wa rm Farmar Against Going to Hla Hama. * ’ FULLY ARGUED. He Was When Delayed Until Daylight and He He itched Hume Finds Death Trap. [ When a Society for Psychical Re search holds its next meeting it- might call before it "Charles henry Durand, a farmer living about three miles from Caldwell, N. J., and hear his story of. how his life was saved by a strange apparition he met, in the roadway on Monday night. Since the death of his wife Durand has lived alone in the farmhouse. He was on his way home from Peterson after dark Monday night, when his horse stopped still in the road and refused to move.-. The horse trem bled so violently that Durand strains ed his eyes in the darkness to 'learn what the animal had seen. _ He sayi he sa v a flicker of bluish light, which moved toward him until it was beside his wagon, and then took oa a misty shape. He says he recognized the form and the voice of the aoparition. It repeated to him three times the warning, "Do not go home for several hours.” With the cold chills running u and down his spine and the gooseflei standing out over the body like man with a chill he tried to drive on after the apparition wab goner -The horse refused to budge.. The animal had broken out in a cold sweat. Durand says he unhitched the horse and blanketed him. It was then about 11 o’clock. For two hours he worked with the horse, which seem ed afflicted with the ague. Aftei hitching up again, he drave.,Alg£ly to his home. It was then nearly 3 o’clock. He put the horse into the barn and went; inside the house. The first sight that met his eye was a muddy footprint, Durand found that nothing had been taken, although the nouse was a bit upset. He found a window on the ground floor that had betn opened | in his absence, showing how the in truder had entered. The farmer looked into closets and out-of-the- way places and then decided to go upstairs. When he started up he saw at once that some one had been there. There were footpriuts on the stairs and in the hall leading to his sleeping yoom.

Messrs. W. C. Wolfe, D. O. Her bert and B. H. Moss, of the Orange burg Bar, appeared for the petition ers, and the board of election- com- ralsafoneja were represented by the Attorney General, who ‘Had designa ted Messrs Bellinger ft Welch to re present him In the case, as Messrs. Bellinger and Welsh have been the legal advisers for the new county advocates. In his argument for the Injunc tion, Mr. W. C. W'olfe took the post tlon that the form, practice and pro cedure in this case follows the case of Segars against Parrott, which form, practice and procedure re ceived the implied sanction of the Court by a grant of the relief desir ed in that case. A demurrer was In terposed in that case,- questioning th#f)uri8dlct]on of the Court In every particular in which jurisdiction might me assailed in this case, but the demurrer was overruled In Lamar against Croft another new county case, where the same question of jurisdiction arose, the Supreme Coprl held that the com plaint did not state facts warranting equitable relief and that an action might be maintained in equity to en join the commissioners. Mr. W’olfe cited also the case of Croxton vs Truesdell, in which the Supreme .Court enjoined an electlon^lo de termine the location and establish ment of a county dispensary. Mr Wolfe asked the Court to inspec the reports of the surveyors and de termine whether the surveys were sufficiently definite; also to consider whether the Governor had the right to permit the petitioners to amend _ _ ,, .their petition some danger was lurking ahead of Then the third estifte of xctton tn him. but determined to face it at all hazzards and have the dread that possessed over him, Durand ap proached the door of his room. It was open, as he had left it. When about to enter, Durand stop ped and looked closely. Across the door at a height half way to his knee, so that his foot or ahin must strike it, was a string, instinctively, the fanner says, he felt that something threatened his life. To the man of the woods, used to the snaring of birds and animals, the string across the door suggested a spring or a trap. Durand went down stairs and returned with an umbrel la. He stood against the waH of the hall and with the umbrella handle S Ke_.the.fttring a. XMiU. Instantlyl^ sre was a report and a bullet im- Ar . r beded itself in the end of the wall. Investigation later showed it was at about the height of a man’s chest. Durand then entered the room and found a revolver fastened to a dress er. The string led from the trigger to the door. It was ingeniously ar ranged to shoot the person who en tered the room. Durand believes that the person, or persons, who visited his home did so with the intention of killing him, and, not finding him home, arranged the trap. He says he has a suspicion as to their identity and. knows the rea son for their enmity that prompted the attempt upon his life. His neigh bors say whatever feudTfiere is must have existed before Durand moved into the neighborhood where he now lives. ——- He believes the apparition in the road saved his life. He says he rec- ogniz^d the figure and the voice, and it was of a person now dead of whom he was fond. Further than this he refuses to talk. Durand never has believed in spiritualism. His exper ience has pretty well unnerved him, although he is not the kind of man who ia easily unnerved. substance stated as follows: “The plaintiffs and others residing within the.proposed new county are registered In theD township, but at voting places without the' territory of the proposed county; but under an Act of the Legislature the de ('fondants have only arranged to open ▼otlnfc—plACes within the territory which deprives petitioners of the right to exercise their franchise in the proposed election, though the plaintiffs are qualiled, registered electors.

'~ Washington dispatch to the ■ —_ Atlanta Jourhal says the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which Virginia is to send to Statuary Hall, with that of George Washington to represent her in the gallery of the immortalb, will soon be in position. The sculp tor, Edwarl V. Valentine, of Rich mond. who enjoyed the perqonhl friendship of General Lee. has about completed his work and the bronze will soon be cast by the Gorhams, of Hartford, Conn. ' Mr. Valentine made several casts of Geo. Lee’s features just a year of two before his death, and those who have boen per-- mitted to see fhe sculptor’s' latest work say he has succeeded in repro ducing a remarkable likeness of the great soldier. It is said to equal his masterpiece, the recumbent figure of General Lee. at Washington and Lee University, over the crypt In which rest the ashes of the Confederate chieftain. When the Virginia .legislature passed the bills some years- ago making appropriations for the stat ues of~ Washington and Lee, there was considerable opposition mani fested by one or two senators at hav ing General Lee represented in bronze in the national Valnalla.

The destruction of Karatagh Turkishton, has been described at- one of the most appalling natural catastrophes on record. A short time ago a flourishing community it is now the grave of 4,000 dead. A deadly fear struck the heart* of the people of Karatagh, on the eve of the disaster, Oct. 20, when a storm swept over the plhce. A cor respondent at the scene gives th« first detailed account and says; ‘'Early in the morning the whole town seemed to shudder. The earth -tremors were frequent, but few ol the townspeople were siifllcTently fllh- turbed to leave their houses. Fifteen minutes later a terrific shock re sounding with weird noises.

Good King Oscar, of Sweden, is dead. He was seventy-nine years old, and was a fine old gentleman. He was the grandson of that Mar shall Bemadotte, who followed the fortunes of Napoleon and, though a peasant by birth, rose to be the king of Norway and Sweden. The late ruler never attempted to conceal the obscurity of his ancestry, and over the door of the house in which Ber- nadotte was born rests a tablet which records that there "the peasant, Bernadette,” was bom. King Oscar was not only one of the wisest but one of the most democratic of rulers. He mingled freely with his people and knew their wants and wishes well. The separation of Norway and Sw©: den came as a cloud upon his declin- ing years, but it was one of the in evitable steps in the development of the two countries. The interests of Norway as a maritime nation were pot identical with those of Sweden, and when the request for a separate consular system was preferred, it was refused by Sweden.

If the Court does not enjoin the defendant* the plaintiffs will be deprjve^ from voting and will have no other remedy or right of appeal, but would thus sustain irremediable damage and in jury.” • The fourth cause of action, said Mr. Wolfe, challenges the legality of the entire registration system, but he dwelt on only one point. The Constitution lays upon the Legisla tore the regulation of the right of registration, and the Legislature in 1907 passed an Act requiring super visors, of registration to open their books in each town or industrial community containing 300 or morei Inhabitants at least 30 days before any general or special election. This Act has been complied with. In conclusion, Mr. Wolfe said: “The plaintiffs do not ask that this election upon the fornL&ti o n of thi* new county be delayed for all time but simply that It be stayed until all the constitutional, requirement- in such cases be complied with.” In his argument Mr. Moss devot ed himself to the conuict between Section 573 of the Code and Sectlor; 1 of Article 7 of the Constitution and quoted numerous decisions to show that the statute in such case is void and the flection should be re- Col. Herbert §Iso made a general argument on this line. In their return to the rule to show cause, the defendants, through their attorneys, made a number of points, some of which are as follows: That the Governor is the sole judge of the matters coming before him in new county petitions, an< :! that he has passed on these matters That the Governor merely allowed the aroendmeaLjof the petition foi the purpose of-making the boun daries more definite. They den} that the Constitution says all quali fied electors ia -the proposed n*T county shall vote, bqt it says the question shall be submitted to the qualified electors, and that a two- thirds vote of Ahoea vottng^ajiecaa- sary to form the new county: Thai the defendants havs, merely followed the order of the Governor and tha lawn of the State, aad they have not told the managers of slectloa, who general officer of the Confederate army. ' ~ While no date haf. been fixed, it Is now proposed that the presentation of the statue be made by Senator Jown W. Den lei. of Virginia, who was Gen. "Jubal” Early's adjutant general, and thaf-the Speech of ac ceptance be delivered by Gen. War ren Keifer, of Ohio, a veteran of the Union army. Charles Francis Adams predicted a few years ago that the time would come when a statue of Gen. Lee wduld be unveiled In the capitol of the United States. It Is not unlike ly^ that the prophesy of Mr. Adam suggested the Introduction of the bW tn the Virginia Legislato*^ Virginia will soon send to the cap itol a reproduction of the celebrated Houdon statue of Washington, which now stands in the state capitol at Richmond. —There is- now In Statu ary Hall a cheap plaster cast of this statue, placed there by the federal government. It has recently been shoved to the wall, and the statue of Frances E. Wllikrd, the founder of the Christian Temperance Unlon^ placed In front of It. The way In which the Father of Hla Country now peeps out from behind the petticoats has caused much comment. According to Walsh’s directory of Columbia, which has just been is sued, that city now has a population of'44,151 being an increase in the last seven years of 16,651. This is a remarkable showing, but does not surprise us. as we have long since re garded Columbia as a comer.
