Worse Even Than Standard Oil
AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY THE MOST
VICIOUS TRUST IN AMERICA.
Washington, May 28.—The American Tobacco Company, the Con
tinental Tobacco Company and the Imperial Tobacco Company wore
the subject of a scathing denunciation at the hands of Mr. Stanley, of
Kentucky, today in the House of Representatives.
Speaking to his resolution, which calls upon the President to furn
ish the House with any information the Department of Commerce
and Labor may have as to the combination between the tobacco com
panies above named, in violation of the act in restraint of trade, Mr.
Stanley stated that he did not seek to push his resolution at this time.
He had been in consultatton with Commissioner Garfield, of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor, and had learned that the Bureau
of Corporations was "hot on the trail of the companies," and as he
desired to have them run to earth, he would not insist upon the pas
sage of the resolution now.
Mr. Stanley said that neither the Standard Oil Company nor the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, nor any other combination of men,
outside of the prnitentiary, have openly violated tho law as the
American Tobaceo Company has during the past two years. He made
the statement that it was the most perfectly organized combination
that weighs upon the shoulders of the American people.
RURAL HALL.
Rural Hall, May 27.
Mr. Editor:
I wish you to grant me space in
your valuable paper to correct the
false letter that some one wrote
through your paper two or three
weeks ago.
Some one wrote that Hill Top
beat us playing ball six to nothing
and nine to nothing. The one
that wrote that letter either tied
or didn't have sense enough to
write a true report.
We beat Hill Top 24 to » on
our ground and they beat us 30 to
2» on their ground. We will play
them again anytime they are
ready. Of course we do not think
any of the Hill Top boys are un
gentleman enough to write any
such trash. Hoping you will cor
rect that untrue statement.
I remain yours,

The Curse of Child Slavery.
If the curse of child labor were
but weariness, and tho sacrifice of
j the joy of childhood, the case
would be bad enough. But there
is cruelty as well. I will not speak
; from hearsay, but tell what I
| know.
In the North as well as in the
; South men are employed for the
express purpose of waking chil
dren who fall asleep by throwing
I cold water over them, or by prod
' ding them with sticks, I have
. seen littlq boys and girls cower
with unspeakable fear beneath the
j torrents of foul oaths hurled at
! them by brutal foremen. We shall
see enough instances of this cruel
ty before we are through with this
fight. But even worse than the
voluntary cruelty of the taskmas
ter is the inexorable cruelty of the
disease-breeding, life-destroying
existence these children must
i lead.
Come, stand with me outside a
, big cotton mill as the children
pour out, a weary, pallid-faced,
halting throng. See, their clothes
are covered with fine white dust,
and little flakes of lint, like feath
ers, making them look like so
many millers. If you could see
into their lungs, you would be
able to see that poisonous dust,
saturated and clogged with blood
they inhale it all day long. The
local doctor will tell you —unless
he is a "company doctor," in which
case he may know that his bread
and butter require that he be dis
creet and parry your question—
that many of these children suffer
from a horrible form of dropsy,
and that ten per cent of those who
go to work in the mills before
they are twelve years of age con
tract consumption in the first five
years.
Not only in cotton mills, but in
many other factories the same
thing occurs. Though the dust
may be different in kind, the re
sult is the same. Small particles
of glass in the glass factories, fine
sawdust in the factories where
cheap furniture is made, poison
ous fumes in a score of other oc
cupations are as fatal.—Woman's j

1 A Brief Sketch of His Illness and
Death Written By His Daughter.
Sandy Ridge, May 25.
! Mr. Editor :
Please allow us space in your
paper for the sad task of giving a
| brief sketch of the illness and
death of our father, John P. Dun
lap. He was bom Sept. 29, 1838,
was married to Minerva J. Ball
Feb. 4, 18fM», and departed this
life May lfi, 190(5, making his stay
on earth P>7 years, 7 months and
28 dayß. He was a kind husband
and always provided for his fam
ily as best he could. He was an
honest hardworking man, nlways
getting his living by the sweat of
his brow, and was a kind neigh
bor always ready to lend a helping
hand when he was able. Unto
him and his wife were born five
children, 3 daughters and 2 sons, 1
son died in infancy. He therefore
leaves 2 single children, 1 daugh
ter and 1 son. Two married daugh
ters, Mrs. Samuel Ward and Mrs.
Walter Kington, an invalid wife
*0 years of age and 8 grand chil
dren, two brothers and one sister
to mourn his absence, but we
mourn not not as those without
hope. His disease was lung trou
ble from which he suffered untold
agonies, but he bore his suffer
ings with great patience, often
calling on the Lord for mercy.
Papa had been in declining
health for several years, but was
confined to his bed only one month.
Mother, Gid or myself with friends
attended his bedside both day and
night. He did not want for any
thing that loving hearts and will
ing hands could do, but we could
not stay the hand of death, the
Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away blessed be the Lord. Papa
had never made any confession of
religion, but was of tho Primitive
