TEXAS ATTACKS THE TRUSTS.
Texas has .just passed a law declar-
ing tl.at all employes of trusts or
combines le iding in that state and
all person^ in the state who sell goods
made by trusts shall be guilty ol fel-
ony, aud, on conviction, shall be con-
lined in the penitentiary for not less
than two years uor more than ten
years. This is the most ambitious at-
tempt at trust breaking yet made by
any state. As the legislature seemed
tj be in earnest in passing it, and the
attorney general says he intends to
enforce it, the act is not intended for
a joke, however ridiculous and impos-
sible it looks to be.
How is Texas, under the new dis-
pensation, going to get its whiskey
or its tobacco? These things are con-
trolled by trusts. While some parts of
Texas are "dry" under local option,
all the state will have to go "dry" if
this statute is enforced, or else the
state will have to go into the whisky-
making business itself,or induce some
of its citizens to make it as a private
enterprise. Harriuiau's roads run
through a large part of the state.
The persous who sell tickets on these
lines will violate that law. Texas is
doing, at this inomeut, more railroad
building than any other state. Where
will it get its steel rails if this law be
enforced rigorously?
This law is wildly absurd, if it were
rigidly enforced the state would have
to build half a dozen times as many
penitential i s as it has now. its en-
forcement would put more than half
of the merchants of the state behind
tne bars, tor nearly every man-
ufactured product of any importance
these days is made by a corporation
which, under that statute, would be
classed as a trust. By its enforcement
business would be hit as hard in Tex-
as as if a sympathetic strike and Yel-
low Jack should hit every town sim-
ultaneously between the Sabine and
the Red rivers and the Rio Grande.
And, while the atj.ney general of
Texas was putting this law into oper-
ation, and thu-> holding up interstate
commerce, what would the president
of the United States aud the United
States attorney general be doing? if
Attorney General Davidson means
business when he says he will enforce
this trust-guillotining law rigorously,
in its letter and spirit, that statute's
days will not be long in the land.

HAD AN AWFUL TIME
But Chamberlain's Colic, Choleraand
Diarrhoea Remedy Cured Him.
It is with pleasure that I give you
this unsolicited testimonial. About a
year ago when I had#a severe case of
measles 1 got caught out in a hard
rain and the measles settled in my
stomach aud bowels. I had an awful
time and had it not been for the use
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea remedy I could not have pos
sibly lived but a few hours longer, but
thanks to this remedy I am now strong
and well. I have written the above
through simple gratitude and I shall
always speak a good word for this
remedy.—Sam H. Gwin, Concord, Ga.
