And there its health and wealth await Release by honest toil. get a bright, new milking pail Ami hang it on your arm, And plant the wheat and sow the" corn, And glorify the farm.—Kx.

Biunswick, (da., April 10. —A fight was yesterday begun in the | j local bankruptcy court between the children of 11. C. Gilmore, bankrupt of Baxley, Ga., who died before his case was discharg ed and S. I). Dell of Ilazhdiurst, ]Ga,, trustee in the case, over $9,- 0(H) life insurance money. The trustee claims that the $9,- 000 should be turned over to him as trustee and that the creditors should receive the benefit of the money, it being pointed out that the bankrupt should have turned over the policies when lie turned over the assets. Considerable evidence was taken and Referee Isaac adjourned to | continue the testimony at a ses sion of the court to be held in ! Baxley on April 27. ARE ALL CORPORATIONS CRIMINAL? J. F. Johnson in Leslie’s. It is more surprising that I’res i ident Taft should calmly assume that the anti-trust act, a law hast ! ily framed to appease an angry an ignorant public sentiment, is a model either of justice or expedi ency. The people of the United States hate a monopoly, but I do i not believe they will endure a law ; which threatens to undo all the ! good which the American genius for industrial and business organ- ! izution has accomplished in the last thirty years. If we can pre vent a monoply only by a law which prevents a large production, j j then it is the law that needs re- j forming more than the business j methods. The so-called crime, of! which the lower courts have de-1 dared the tobacco and Standard Oil trusts guilty, lias undoubted ly been committed by many hun- : dred corporations throughout the ! country which are inconspicuous ly transacting a business univer- j sally regarded as perfectly legiti- j mate. The Standard Oil Company i ; is no more of a trust or monoply \ now than it was before 1899, yet j the change of that year in its or ganization is the only crime of | which it stands convicted. FEDERAL BUILDING IN VALDOSTA. Valdosta, Ga., April 9.—With | m the next few days the new fed eral court building and postoffice will be turned over to the govern ment. Some of the equipment in the post office already has been moved in. A large force of hands is at work now putting down the carpets and arranging the furni ture. The building is four stories in height, the first story for ma chinery and as a storage room. The second floor is for the postoffice and the third for federal court and the offices of the court. The top storv is for offices of the court of ficials. The different stories are reached by an electric elevator. . The building and furniture cost I between #160,000 and #165,000, I and it is said to be the handsomest ! building of the kind in a city of Valdosta's size in the South. The contractors say that it is the type |of a building that is usually con structed in cities of 25,000 or 30,- j :000 people. j !
