.2 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.

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." ■ana -tmra Xxvt a sontna joaoj Xau v dock Bksod Bitters It ths natural, nev er-falling remedy tor a lazy man. 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.

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 broaden and develop the feminize mind; so whenever I hear a business woman mourn because she finds her self in a groove, or, as most of us’ put It, in a rut, I fonder stop long stock.
