Bill Authorizes Combina=
tions To flaintain Prices
and Profits.
MEASURE IS A UNIQUE ONE.
Alien, of Nebraska, Declar
es Populist Never Made
Anything Like It.
Washington, April s—Senator
Chandler came 'o the f:ont today
with a bill which, through ui i jue,
may cut some figure in future leg
islation. The bill is a “abolishing
competition in trade and produc
tion, and authorizing combination
to enable merchants, manufactur
ers and producers of commodies
subject to interstate commerce to
maintain prices and profits, not
withstanding business depression.”
Senator Chandler declares that
he introduced the measure in good
faith, but would not press it “un
less the so-callod pooling bill was
pressed. If that were done he
wou’d move his bill as an amend
ment .”
“If we are to stifle competition
among the railroads,” said he, “we
can just as well stifle it in other
lines of business.”
Senator Allen suggested that in
the palmy days of populism
nothing equal to that bill had
been introduced, but Chandler
persisted in declaring that the bill
emanated from himse f and was
introduced in good faith forth
purpose he had stated.

Your Boy Wont Live a Month.
So Mr. Gilman Brown, of 34
Mill St South Gardner Mass., was
told by the doctors His son had
Lung trouble, following Typhoid
Malaria and he spent three hun
dred and seventy-five dollars with
di-ctors who finally gave him up
saying: “Your boy won’t live a
month.” He tried Dr. King’s New
Discovery and a few bottles re
stored him to health and enabled
him to go to work a perfectly well
man. He says he owes his present
good health to use of Dr. King’s
New Discovery and knows it to be
the best in the world for Lung
trouble. Trial Bottles free at H.

Kansas Populist to Make War on
Two Great Denominations.
Topeka, Kan., April 6.—The
populist of Kansas are loading
1 their guns for war on two great
Christain denominations and for a
fresh assault on “inordinate”
wealth.
Methodist and Presbyterians are
tl e Christains selected for sacrifice,
and the United States constitu-
I tion is to be bombarded so that the
annihalation of “inordinate”
wealth may become possible.
The Presbyterian, and -Metho
dist organszations ate io be attack
ed because their miflisWr are advo
cates of the gold standard. Al
, ready the leading populists are
calling attention to the appeals
| that are being made by the church
■ boards for funds, and the people
| are urged not to contribute.
CHANGE IN CONSITUTION.
Hugh Inman Buys Evan How
ell’s Interest.
Atlanta, Ga., April 5. —At a
meeting of the directors of the
Constitution Publishing company
today, Mr. Clark Howell was elec
ted as editor of the Constitution
and putin full control of the po
licy and the news features of the
paper—Mr. W. A. Hemphill being
elected president and business
manager of the company.
The change was brought about
by the withdrawal from the com
pany of Captain Evan P. Hewell,
who sold one fourth interest'in the
company to Mr. Hugh T. Inman,
of Atlanta, and who retires for
rest, after having been for twenty
years editor of the paper and pres
ident of the company. Mr. Clark
Howell, who succeeds Captain
Howell as editor of the paper, has
since the death of the late Henry
W. Grady, whom he succeeded
seven years ago, been managing ed
itor of the paper. There will be no
change in the policy of the paper,
which will continue to support the
present regular organization of the
democratic party—Mr. Clark How
ell being democratic national com
mitteeman from Georgia, and ex-
Speaker of the Georgia house of
representatives. He is 33 years of
age,

Mr. Sanford’s Bond,
Governor Atkinson notified Tax
Collector V. T. Sanford yesterday
that unless he filed a new bond
within the next few days his com
mission would be revoked.
Mr. Sanford, with his attornney,
. Mr. C. Rowell, left for Atlanta yes
terday evening for the purposs of
having the matter arranged.
Mr. Sanford’s bond, it will be re
membered, was misplaced in some
way after it had been forwarded to
Atlanta. —Commercial.
The Augusta, Ga., News tells of
a woman in that city who has nev
er been from under the confederate
flag since it became “her flag.”
Whether walking, eating or sleep
ing, there is always a confederate
flag over her head. While walking
in the streets there is always a flag
in her hat, and no matter how many
hats or bonnets she has, there is
always to be found a flag pinned on
the inside of the crown. On the
head post of her bed is securely
fastened a large flag of the confed
erate states. The flag is as neces
sary to her as three meals a day.
She says she has never surrendered
and never will.
The Farm, Field and Fireside be
lieves “it would be well for every
state to set its convicts to work in
making good toads. This would
remove their competition with
other labor and other manufac
turers, and, of even more impor
tance, it wou’d result in permanent
improvement of the roads. No class
of people are so much interested in
this rosn’t as are the farmers. To
them it means money saved, mon
ey earned and added comfort to
their families with all the civiliz
ing influences which come_ from
ease in meeting together socially at
all periods, all seasons and in all
kinds of weather; ease and comfort
in reaching the school and the
church. In fact, the blessings of
good roads are simply the blessings
of a higher civilization.”

CASE WITHDRAWN.
1 *
It Is Said Jack King has Settled
His Bank Case.
, Jack King will not be prosecuted in
the United States court for his alleged
irregularities in connection with the
bank at Rome, of which he was presi-
• dent.
A settlement was effeted today be
tween the directors of the bank and
the attorney for King, which will re
sult in the cases being nol pressed.
One of the main charges against
King was that of selling property to
the bank at a price greatly exceeding
its valuation.
1 This matter having been satisfactor-
1 ily settled with the bank’s officers, the
* prosecution will not be continued.
Mr. Hoke Smith, the counsel for the
> department of justice of the United
. States government in the case, was to
i have appeared before, the grand jury
today to obtain a new- indictment a-
I gainst King.
t Mr. Smith slated this afternoon that
the prosecution was due to the over
valuation of property by King while he
was president of the bank, and that if
3 i he made good the bank’s loss the gov
ernment would not press the case. —
