DO AWAY WITH CUT-THROAT METHODS1 No Man in Legitimate Business Can in Good , _ t Conscience Oppose Anti-Trust Bill 1 ATTORNEY GENERAL ON ANTI-TRUST Bil l . Says the Machinery of Turlington Anti-Trust Bill Would Seem j to Have "Teeth"-That its Purpose is to Guarantee to Every t Business in North Carolina a Free Field and a Fair Fight. : Tells of Trust Evils to be Cured by the Bill. ( , 0y t ii li !i ? * r t ; u h ^ b b b i | e si b ti u ! U I t r ' j e " ' - I C Under the above heading the News and Observer oi Saturday, published the following article, which shows the attitude of our worthy Attor- 8 liey-Geueral, Hon. T. W- Bickett, towards the trusts, when the protection 0 of the people is a consideration. , 1 Attorney-General T. \V. Bickett was interviewed by the News and d Observer yesterday afternoon, and asked to give his opinion on the Tur- (j lington Anti-Trust bill, which yesterday passed the House with the unant- . mous vote of the Democratic membership. Mr. Bickett said : "The hill ia one which no man who is engaged in a legitimate business f can in good conscience, oppose. Its manifest purpose is to securo to the t people of the State protection from the cut-throat methods usually em- t ployed by trusts to destroy competition and to guarantee to every man who j desired to engage in any busine# in North Carolina a free held and a fair . hght so far us North Caroliuu is concerned. "Mr. Turlington, the author of the bill, stated in his opening speech 1 on the floor of the House that he did not claim that the bill would or e could absolutely destroy any trust that does a large interstate business, j and that is chartered by some Slate other than North Carolina. But he contended that while the arm of tne State might not be suflii iejtiy long to . reach tbe octopus in every pnrt of the country on the globe, that ;ne State 1 could anil should make it impossible for the trust to exert__nny unfair < or oppressive methods wi hm our borders To this eucLtbe bill makes it unlawful for: t "1. The trust to f .rci- ine trade to handle its goods to the exclusion of the goods of indepei den' concerns. "2. For the trust to circulate reports tending to damage the charao- 8 ter or credit of a compeli nr. ] "3. To undersell or over tiny the market for the purpose of injuring \ or destroying competition , "4. To parcel out tlmile ten i tor y of the State for the purposes of trade. "5. To sell at a place where there is competition at a lower rote than e Where there is none lor the purpose of destrjylng coo.petition. ' ~l "6- To conspire or agree to put down or k?ep down the price of anything produced in the State of North Carolina by labor of others. This t section has in it all thai anybody has evei suggested sh mid go in it. "8. For-* couceri. In pose as being independent when it is, in fact, 8 owned or controlled bv the trusts. v "These are, in a genvr.il way, the evils which appear to be aimed at by t the act. "I consider the machinery sufficient for the enforcement of the law. That machinery provides: * < 1 Thsi! i-> ypfv ftiPi-itrn niirnnrutmn Mnairincr tn An kn?in?? ? \Tt.??k - - - - - - f-.voi.Mlfj ?A/ MU UUDIllCOn III XI Ul IU Carolina shall tile a certificate, sworn to by one of its principal officers, that ^ ' it is not a party to any conspiracy, contract or agreement express or mi- , plied, to put down or keep down the ptinj of any- article prodnoed in the ' * Slate of North Carolina. The failure to file this certificate forfeits the t right of th'? eimieaiiv to do business in the Stale, and false swearing with a respect to the certificate, is ntade perjury. e "2. The Attorney-General atul the solicitors are authorized in their .discretion to summons persons to appear before them to be examined upon 4 oath and to produce books and papers, and tell alt that they may know * about any violations of the law. TJte refusal to answer any question may be published as tor contempt of court, and false swearing is made, perjury. >r 8. The solicitors are allowed a reasonable feo in addition to their { regular fees for prosecutions under the act, the fee to be fixed by the trial jodge. ' f>. The sum of #10,000 is placed at the disposal of the Governor to be nsed when investigating and prosecuting the violations ot the law. fV "5. A nenalty of five hundred dollars a dsv may he recovered by j anv citizen who will bring an action, and show that the law has been violated. "8. Any citizen who is injured by the violation of the law can sue 6 . tor damages, and when his actual damages are ascertained, be will be en- 1 . itled to yppover'three times the amount of such actual damages. f "7. Exclusive original jurisdiction is given the Superior Courts, and ' 11 is competent to charge any and all of the offenses mentioned in the act in a single bill. "8. Any corporation that violates any provision of the act may be ' fired not lea* than #10,000 on each and every offense, and any person vio- < lating anv of the provisions of the act may be fined not leas than' five hundred dollars or imptiioned withii-the discretion of the court. ' This machinery would seem to have teeth'.* K:\ ^gUHL \ - - . fKLJ THE COUNTY, THE LOUISBURG.N. C., FRID rried For Attempted Assault. | On Wednesday afternoon at 12:80 >'clock, before Justice of the Peace | i. B. Masaenburg, in the court room, toliert Day, colored, was tried and >ound over to court on a charge of ttempted assault on little . Rebecca, 1 lie seven year old daughter of Mr. 1. E. Robhiue, of Harris township, t appi ared that on Monday evenng Rebecca's mother sent her over . o a neighbors in oompany with her ounger brother and upon her re- * urn she met Robert, who was drivtig n uagon'and asked him to let er ride, which he did, when he at- ' empted to take undue liberties. The ittle girl became frightened and got 1 ut of the u agon before the crime .as committed. Robert was crested on Tuesday morning vbout liree miles east of Louisburg and ' >as placed in jail until the trial Vtdnesday, when he was placed " nder a $500.00 justifiable bond for c is appearance _ at April term of ' 'ratiklin Superior Court, which 1 oncl lie gave that afternoon. He- 1 ecca appeared to be a very bright 1 ittle girl arid gave her evidence ex. eediitgly straight tor one of her age. ' nstances of this kind and worse are ntirely too frequent and the courts *" hould proceed to put an end to them ' y taking advantage of every oppor- ' unity to deal out heavy penalities ' pon the guilty parties. Seed Corn DayAs announced the seed corn day ras held in the court house in Lou- ^ ibnrg on laet Tuesday. Although he weather was indeed had there j ras quite a number of farmers presnt and nearly every section of the . oanty was represented. The work f the day was commenced with a . ;ood speech from Mr. C. H. Hudson, ^ f the United States Agricultural demonstration Department, who isoussed in detail the advantages~oT leep plowing and proper cultivation, lis talk was full of good sound inormation and there iB no doubt hut hat it will result in much good to . he many farmers in Franklin oounty. J le was followed by Mr. C. B. Wil- J iaius. of the Demonstration Depart, uent of the A. & M, College, Ral- . ugh, who confined his remarks to the iroper selection of seed corn, His ' emarks were both profitable and ^ nteresting and were delivered in an iffective manner. From the speeches of the nbove ' tamed gentlemen it was easily seen hat with a little more care in the election of seed and cultivation the leld of the oorn crop of this county could be three fold what it is at >resent. Such meetings are of great inter et to our people and we feel that Themeeting was under the directon of our worthy County Demontration Agent, Sir. T. P. Harris, cho is proving a splendid officer in his capacity. ___ . I 'ranklinton Tuesday Club. 1 The "Tuesday Club" met with ills. B. T. Green ahd Mrs. J. W. JcGhee at the home of Mrs. Sloiliee.
