WOULD LEVY NEW TAX ON
TOBACCO.
Anti-Trust Amendment to Un
derwood Bill Offered by Hit'
chcock. , '
Washington, June 5, In ac
l0Id with suggestions of Attorney-General
McReynolds, Sena
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska, in:
t reduced today an anti-irust
amendme:it to the Underwood ta
riH' bill which would levy a spe
cial additional excise tax on a
graduated scale upon manufac
turers of tobacco, cigars, cigar
ettes and snuff- The amendment
coming from a Democratic mem
ber, will receive through consid
eration from the finance' com init-
tee. The proposed tax would not i
reach a manufacturer until he
controlled about 25 per cent, of
the total production of articles
in his line. Over that amount he
would be taxedin a rising' scale
on tobacco, one cent a pound for
tha first million pounds,, two cts.,
a pound for the second million
pounds and so on up to six cents
a pound. These graduated tax
es would be in addition to the
regular eigh't-cents a pound tax
that all manufacturers pay on
tobacco.
Snow Fell in Haywood.
Canton, June 9. A visitor to
this place from the Beaverdam;
section brought the news, that
snow had fallen to a considera
ble extent last night lon-.thegia-des
mountains, an4 it iseportejf
that the peaksr inhatectjon
are white with:'ei5iaev, ,tM&
morning. Within the past v 24
hours the temperature has been
falling here and the mercury is
probably at the lowest point
that has been registered for
many years on this date.
The information to the effect
that snow was falling on the 9
of June, created no little excite
ment here, but there are few
who do not believe Jth3 story,
told by a reliabl 3 farmer of the
Beaverdam Ee:tion. The temper
aturo is unu3ual or this"seasoji
and no damage to vegetation is
feared, on account of the hard
ness of all the cro?3. Great dis
com'ort is bein experienced.
We can furnish the tobacco
planters.

Mr. W. H. B. Newell Dead.
On lastFriday night.Mr. W. H.
B. Jewell died. Hd had been in
a very serious qondition for some
time, in fa?t it was -known to
his family and friends that his
re.olvery was impossible and his
death was not a surprise. He
was taken sick about six months
ago and after treatment by tne
home physicians was taken to St.
LukeV Hpspital in Richmond,
where they stated" that nothing
could be done for him. rL
Mr. Newell was pne of the best
known citizen sof the, town; hav
ing been a resident for about 20
years,' He was a jeweler and had
bnilt up a. most successful busi
ness, "being of that disposition
which makes almost every cus
tomer a friend, and consequent
ly numbered his- friends almost
by his acquaintances.
He is ... survived -by his wife,
three daughters and four sons,
ai; of whom, were present at his
death save his son George la.
Newell, who was in Virginia,
where he went a few days since
on account of f8ickness. He with
Ms wife, arrived Saturday n?ght.
He was 57 years bid.
The " funeral . was conducted
from the home, led by Rev. E. M.
E n pes, assisted by Rev. D. F. Put
nam. Almost the entire, town
turned put to pay theif last
respect to this splendid citizen,
and seldom, if ever, have? we .seen

DEMOCRATIC TRUST POLT
CY INDICATED
McReynolds Says . Neither Oil
Nor Tobacco Trusts Have i
' Been Broken. -
Washington, ; June 5.-Neithei;
ihe Standard Oil nor thetobac
co trust the two' greatest- ex?
ample of . the operation of the
S herman ati-t rust ' 1 iwU haV
been actually 'dissolved to meet
the requirements of the statute
designed to destroy mbnopbl es,
according to the views of 'Attor7
ney-Geceral McReynolds. .
This became known today, ser-j
v in s as, an index to the Democrat
tic administration's- trust polir
cy. It was taken as a forecast
of possible further action again
st the oil as well as the tobafceo
nlerest if the result of the ""in
vestigation just completed by
the department of Justice of the
workings of "the oil dissolution
decrees indicate that there is
a-problem which still can be
dealt with under the hSerman
law.
The attorney-general's com-
0
plaint is not againstvthe Sher
man law, but against the decrees
of dissolution interpreting the
e.islons of the :United States
Supreme Court ordering the dis
memberment of the Standard Oil
and Tobacco combinations into
separate competitive parts. He
is iirmly convinced that no trust,
as in these two cases, can be un
adequately dissolved by a pro-rata
distribution of tthesfoe.Qf
.ts disintegrated parts among
.he same stockholders who con
iro.lsd the. original combinat on.
A community of combination is
ound to exist, he believes, and
competition can not follow such
dissolutions. The position of
i he attorney-general is regard
ei as pregnant wjth far-nazh ng
possibilities on the trust ques
tion of the future. While each
combination must be dealt with
as a separate problem, officials
r o nt out that experience teach
es that dissolution of the tie fu
ture must be such that the con
trol of the disintegrated trusts (
will pass to new hands.
lit has been known that Mr.
McReynolds looked up to the to
bacco dissolution as an obvious
subterfuge, but it did not devel
op until today that he likewise
placed the Standard Oil dissolu
tion in the category of inadequ
acy. Neither the Standard Oil
nor the Tobacco Trust decrees,
Interpreting the decisions of the
Supreme Court, was appealed. Al-
nough the attorney-general has
reached no final decision the
consensus of opinion of the gov-
ernm'ent lawyers at this time is
that it is now too late to open
up the decrees in, either case and
whatever action is taken pro
bably will be supplemental.
