THE VALDOSTA
IS ROOSEVELT AFTER TRUST!
Department of Justice Sends Men to
Georgia to Get Facts.
Lumpkin, Ga^ April 5—Is President
Roosevelt after the guano trust?
Or, to be more exact, is there t
guano trust, and, If so, is it in danger
of a jolting from the president's "tig
stick?"
During recent days a representative
of the department of justice has bien
visiting various points in Georgia *et-
ting up facts and figures, where pos*
1 sible. which would tend to throw l*ght
on the means and agencies used by
the different guano companies where
by the products of them all are Told
for one and the same price, according
to grade.
This gentleman stated that he bad
been sent out by the department
upon explicit instructions from tne
president himself, and that if a guano
trust was developed it would likely he
made to lead a livelier row than the
beef trust.
From remarks, not to dignify it just
yet as Information, which this gentle
man let drop, lie Is perfectly satisfied
with what lie has found, for he seem
cd confident that he had more than
enough information in haftl to make
out a prima facie case of ' trust
against the guano concern? and that
they would havfe a good summers
work ahead getting around it.
ft Is commonly known that nil gu
ano of the same grade demand a uni
form price. Just why this was the
uninitiated could only surmise. But
this agent of the departmetr. of jus
tice evidently thinks t'<;a: he has
enough evidence of the most positive
k.'i.d in haijd to prove thro it is be
cause of a combine nnd agreement.
«;i course now and ther there i3 an
ext ent Ion made to the “lint" prices,
ilit-} ary termed, and nyv and then 1 Jnade by the members of the present
cbheern will maintain tiio prtOfl
j,i theory*, but abandon it In practice
by giving a rebate, or a present t > the
purchaser. But these exceptions are
said to be just frequent enough to
more strongly confirm the existence
of a (ftrjibine. injunctions of secrecy
almost Invariably accompanying the
•‘rebates" or "presents."
Georgia farmers, as well as those
of the* entire South will watch this
movement of the president against
the guano people with much Interest.
TWC CENTS RATE OPPOSED.
Position Taken by the T. P. A., Geor
gia Division.
Savannah. Ga., April '4.—Chairman
Max Krauas, of the railroad, commit*
tee of the 0 oof gin D1 vision Bf the -T.
*P. A., \ylll not recommend that a fight
Ira jnado for a twO-Cents-a-mlle pas-
unger rate in the state. His report,
which will be submitted at Macon this
week, wtien the adnual convention of
the'Geoi'gfa division la held, will rec
ommend that the 3-cents-a-rtiile rate
be ‘maintained.
Chalrmhn Krauss holds that the
public will not receive such services
with a 2-cents-a-mUe rate as with a
3-cents rate. No concessions could bo
asked. He thinks It far wiser to In
sist that the railroads who will not do
so be required to sell Interchangea
ble mileage books.

Czar as One Man Saw Him.
Ltttle, scared, fooled, this is the
czar. Blind, ineffective and hysteri
cal, this is the ruler of the Russian
empire, writes Percival Gibbon in Mo
^Clure's. When a cast of his head,
made for the purpose of a new coin
age, was submitted to a great crtralo-
ligical authority in Paris, who was not
told whose it was, the expert, after
a careful examination, pronounced sol
emnly: "This is the head of a melan*.
choly maniac." But that is not true.
The real czar is better Illustrated by
another story^ which was given to me
as true. An official approached him
with papers to be signed, and found
him lounging drearily In his room.
"Your majesty," began the official.
“I am not ‘your majesty,'" replied
the czar, "I am tired."

A Trick of Imagination.
There’s a little mental science trick
that will teach imaginative persons to
acquire a perfect, graceful poise. Ono
says "Imaginative" with reason, for
you have to have an imagination to do
it. You must imagine that you bear
n scintHating star on your breastfand
a basket of eggs on your head.
The first fancy will unconsciously
Influence you to carry your shoulders
like a military man bent on exhibiting
hls goh^ buttons. The second will
teach you to sink Into a chair gently
and gracefully, instead of hunching
Into it. Alto, It will train you to climb
stairs erect. You can’t twist, or bend
over, at women usually do in going
upBtairs, if you have a basket of eggf
on your head-even an imaginary one
—can you?
So put on the flashing gold star,
which is worn to be seen, and set the
basket of eggs in your head, and see
what the combined fancy will do for
your carriage.—Philadelphia Bulletin.
Don't-Snub a Boy.
Don't snub a boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Eddison, the
inventor of the telephone, first enter
ed Boston, he >^re a pair of linen
breeches in the depth of winter. Don't
snub a boy because hls house is plain
and unpretending. Abraham Lincoln’s
early home was a log cabin. Don’t
snub a boy because of the Ignorance
of hls parents. 8hakespeare. the
world's greatest poet, was the son of
a man who waB not able to write hls
own name. Don’t snub a boy because
he chooses an humble trade. The au
thor of "Pilgrim’s Progress" was n
tinker. Don’t snub a boy bgcause of
dullness in his lessons. Hogarth, the
celebrated painter and engrkver, was
a stupid boy at hts books. Don’t snub
anybody. Not only because some day
he may outstrip you in the race of
life, but because it is neither kind nor
right, nor Chr.Btian like.

Count Your Talents.
Twice a year every merchant take
account of stock. When the w<
completed the shop-keeper knowi
where he stands. If a certain di

plans on strengthening it or cutting
out entirely. If anothef.jdj
ment is making an unexpected]
cess, he specializes upon it and
tures It. He has what might be
cd a commercial house cleaning.
Now, I have often wondered whet
er it would not pay for those <rf L
who work for our living to take Re
count of stock at regular intervals,
not making an Inventory of ribbons,
laces, shirt-waists and hats, in our
possession, but of talents. The influ
ences of business life should tend to
