N, ssrs. J. II. Albritton and W. E.
Woodall, two of our farmer patrons liv-
ing few miles southeast of Bogue Chitto,
paid us q Pheasant call last Saturday.
Mr.. Albritton, mentioning the recent
statement in The LEADER that Mr.. L. C..
Maxwell made 240 gallons of mollasses
this year and saved 5000 stalks of cane
for seed on about three quarters of an
acre, informed US that last year he saved
seed and made 400 gallons OF molasses
from less than an acre of cane. Himself
and two boys did ali their own work, and
the value of their various crops for the
year aggregated $1,000. We HE to pub-
lish such facts a. these, in order that our
farmers generally may be encouraged to
initiate the thrift of Messrs. Maxwell, AL
brirton and other Lincoln county farmers
like them.

Brookhaven's Trade.

While other towns and commercial
centres are complaining loudly of hard
times and crash after crash is reported in
business circles, Brookhaven pursues the
even tenor of her way almost without a
mnrmur aud not one of her merchants
has yet made voluntary or forced As
signment, or is likely to do 90. True,
business has not "bOomed" like il wOnld
have done had there been n good crop
year, general prosperity and good prices
for cotton, still, comparatively speaking,
Brookhaven has whereof to boast. 1t
was shown in our paper last week that
Notwithstanding the general complaint
of short crops, our cotton shipments to
date are slightly ahead Of the correspond
ing months of last year, while many
places of equal and mnch greater bus
iness pretensions are complaining of be-
ing much behind. This, of itself, had
prices ruled higher, would have brought
the usual measure Of prosperity. But
cotton isssnot BrOokhaven's only reliance
for business success, and herein she again
has the advantage of many of her sister
towns. Iu fact, she has never bOasted
of being a great cotton shipping centre
after the manner of some of our Missis
sippi towns; but she can and does justly
boast Of her lumber industry. Lincoln
county is the greatest lumber manu-
featuring county in the State, having
something over twenty saw mills in OPP
eraiion, employing a large number of
hands who spend their earning in Brook
haven. Her long leaf yellow pine lumber
is the finest in the world, and always
in demand in Northwestern markets.
Happily counteracting the low price of
cotton, there is an increasing price and
demand for this lumber now, which is a
full offset and places our business men
In excellent shape. You will not hear
of any failure in Brookhaven this season
to amount to anything, if at all.

CARTERsvILLE, GA, July 18.-A most
horrible tragedy occurred here this norm
ing. Bryant Strickland. a man about 50
years old, and William Puckett, Deputy
Marshal of this city, had some trouble
last night, and Puckett struck Strickland
with a stick. Strickland told Pickett ha
would kill him for it, ana this morning
came down town and sent Puckett word
he was ready for him. Auckett came
across the town, and when Strickland
saw him he drew his pistol and called I'd
Puckett to look out and commenced
firing. Pucketb Immediately returned the
fire and advanced on Strickland. Both
continued firing until their pistols were
empty, and Strickland sank to the side,
walk with bullet through his heart.

a FRAUD ON THE KNIGHTS.
The Oklahoma Boomers Manufac-
turing Bogus Petitions.


WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The letter
from Mr. Powderly concerning the con-
nection of the Knights of Labor with the
Oklahoma movement has developed a
queer condition of things. Those who
were inUeres ted in the matter made some
investigation here, at the instance of Mr..
Powderly, to ascertain who WAS using
the name and title of the order to further
speculative schemes. They to-day called
at 205 Pennsylvania avenue, the address
OF Powderly's agent, and found the IA
nous Captain Crouch and assistants in
the midst of their work OF getting up pc
titions. Crouch is the successor of Capt.
Payne, and leader OF the Oklahoma
boomers.
These petitions have been flooding Con-
gress recently. 1t was noticed that all
the names were signed apparently by the
same hand. The headings and date lines
Indicated that they came from Pittsburg,
Philadelphia, Cleveland and other points
and emanated from assem- blies of the
knights of Labor. These manufactured
petitions did not deal with Oklahoma
alone, but were also made ont to bolster
up the anti-OleOmargarine bill, the Hen
nepin canal and other schemes. Sena-
tors have been puzzled over them, prOba-
DIy at a loss I'd account lOF the e&lfaOlul-
nary interest taken by the knights of
Labor in these things.
Petitions are not examined in the Senate
and the frauds have thus passed un-
noticed. With printed heading of the
knights of Labor TO go on anybody can
get up such petitions and the number of
names sIgned to them depends wholly on
the industry of the writer or the number
of clerks employed. The whole matter
will be ventilated on the floor of the

GOODIES SUCCESSOR.
j. Randolph Tucker Believed to be
the Coming Man.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Ihe President
has not as yet considered the Solicitor
Generalship. He was only notified yes
terday of the rejection OF Mr.. Goodies
nomination by the Senate, and conse-
quently he has not had time to determine
whether he will renomiuate Mr.. Goode or
appoint new man. 1t was stated at the
w htte House to-day that the President
mad not, as had been reported, been con-
sldering the name of a Mr.. Searle, of Bos-
ton. in connection with the place, and in
factthat no such name had been men
tiOned in connection with it.
TUCKER THE COMING MAN.
1t seems to be the general opinion of the
Democratic Congressman that Repre-
sentative j. Randolph Tucker, Of Vir-
ginia, the Chairman of the House Judi
ciary Committee, is the best man that can
be found for the office of Solicitor Cen
eral. The Nirginians, and Mr.. Tucker
among them, are leaving nothing undone
to have Mr.. GOode renOminated, but il
that should turn out to be impossible,
then Mr.. Tucker would undOu btedly be
the first choice of his colleagues and
would receive the cordial suppOrt Of the
whole party, as represented in the House.
Mr.. Tucker would not be a candidate for
the Office while there remains a shadow
OF chance that MIR. Goode may be re-
nominated.
THE TELEPHONE SUIT.
1t is stated that the counsel for the Bell
Telephone Company do not want the gov
ernment telephone suit to be tried by
Judge Jackson, recently a Senator from
Tennessee, and mem ber of the Judiciary
Committee. AS such he is said TO have
been favorable to the confirmation of John
Goode as Solicitor General. The counsel
for the Bell Company will, it is said, try
to get n change of venue to some place in
New England if possible.

During the day Henry Brown, Thomas
Heckam, Mat Rhodes and Robert Knox

wounded. Brown lived but a few min
utes afterwards. His throat was cut and

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1886-06-19
Chronicle Predictions

A reference on our part to the fulfill
ment of past predictions, which may
indicate certain degree Of egotism.
will no doubt be considered pardonable,
in view of the fact Of u true augury of
the future being so correctly foretold in
direct conflict with the opinions so uni
versally entertained by others through
out the Hills. In our issue Of Nav lst
we claimed that in the early future
silver carbonates would be discovered
that would astonish the people of this
region, by reason Of high grade, and
massive bodies. This has now come to
pass, and there is no longer doubt e :
tertained as to the truthful character OF
the predictions The awakening in re.
fractory gold ores which was clearly
predicted is now upon us, and ores that
in the past have been regarded as COM
paratively valueless, are now known to
contain fabulous amounts Of gold. The
claim made by us that Custer City
would be the future metropolis Of the
Black Hills may now be said to be fully
assured. The known presence of the
richest and most extensive silver belt
on the globe, is of itself sufficient
guarantee of our claim. The vast
bodies Of the finest tin ore ever en-
coIntered in any country, is also suf :
cient in itself to warrant such result,
and when we add our numerous other
resources Of gold, copper. mica, platin-
um, and many other minerals. which
are known to exist in great abundance
in the immediate vicinity of the city,
in connection with the surprising ad-
vantages of location we possess, we have
enumerated advantages unequalled
in any other locality, and which must
be admitted by all to he sufficient to
warrant the belief of her eventually be-
coming the leading mining and com
mer'ial metropolis of the Black Hills,
and the chief mining centre Of America.
