in the ease brought by the Attorney nral against twenty two cotton oil mills of the State oluu ging a viola tion of the Cox anti trust law In the Circuit Court of Hinds county Judge Powell had ruled on a demur rer tliat the Attorney General erred in filing all declarations in the Hinds oountv circuit court ana tnat tne declaration against each mill shouldhave been made in the county of its domicile The Supreme Court dis sents from this view of the law and reverses and remands the case thus giving the Attorney General a clear cut to victory Were it necessary for the Attorney General to go into each county with a declaration ip an anti trust fight the law would be entirely defeated as it would be practically im possible for him to do so on account of the pressure of other official du
