" It Is not only fashionable, but extremely easy, to cry down mo nopolies and trusts at the present time, but the average business man as -veil as the average working man. Is only consistent as far as the crying is concerned, and then he stops. They will spend several hours in discussing the hold mo nopolies have on the people, and what remedies should be adopted, and then they give the preference of their trade to the very monopolies they have been howling against.The different attempts which, have Deen made in; the oil business is an ex amDle which can well be cited. Every time an oil company has started in -this state, the business men have promised them their sup port, and every time when the standard Oil Company came In and cut prices in order to freeze out their rivals, the , business men. en masse, have deserted the new com- .Danr and gone, bag and baggage, to the old company and assisted them In doing their dirty work. only to suffer even more, -eventually by having prices raised still hieher aftetr the competition is throttled. This is a matter of rec ord, throughout the entire United States, and the Standard Oil Com- : pany, knowing the weakness of the business men in this respect will continue in the futurei as they have iBb the past. 0 I HARDIN'S PALAC HflRMAGY I Oft Site jlfetttflgr. r NORTH CAROLINA.

"Not A TRUE BILL" Th fiilliotn Grand Jury Ignores the Bill Against tha American for Ubel of Sanator Welllaf ton vy- Baltimore, December 15. The grand Jury today " Ignored the ' Indictment against General Felix Agnus, on the charge of criminally vllbelling . Senator George L. Wellington in The American on the morning of November 28th. That morning The American published an arti cle clipped from The Washington1 Post and commented upon the article favora bly, saying that the statements In it were true. The article In question was a very bitter attack upon the official career of Senator Wellington, itellins' things which he had done and other things which tie might do In the future. Three days after- the Baltimore arti cle appeared. .Senator Wellington - ap peared before the grand Jury and had General , Agnus presented for criminal KbeL An Indictment Charging criminal Ubel in four counts was drawn up and printed, but the action of the grand Jury does . away with the proceeding for this term of court at least. On the same day that the presentment was found, Senator Wellington filed In the superior court a civil suit for $100,000 damages against General Agnus. This Is still pending, it is not believed that Sen ator Wellington has had anything to do witn tne discontinuance of the prosecu- uon m me criminal case. ; - - The American - tomorrow will say: Two weeks ago Senator Georsre Lu Wel lington, of this, state, appeared before the grand Jury of this city and com plained that he had been criminally libell- ea oy -ine Baltimore American.
