CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Guanajuato, you must know, is one
of the oldest and richest silver mining
districts in the world. Founded nearly
$50 years ago, this picturesque Mexican
city has produced more than 81, 900,
900, 900 in bullion and is not tired yet
In 1927 a Spanish miner invented in
Mexico the cheapest and simplest meth
cd yet known for reducing silver ores
the so called 'patio process by which
the great bulk of the silver of Mexico
and Peru has been extracted for so many
centuries. To this day the great hacien-
das for patio reduction are among the
most interesting features of the great
silver camps of Spanish America. Each
hacienda is a little walled city, with
its strong ramparts and corner towers
loopholed for muskets, its huge sheds
for the primitive ore grinding, its pleas
ant offices and home for the administra-
dor, its quarters for employees its sta
bles for hundreds of mules and its enor-
nous stone skillets wherein the hughest
omelets in the world are cooked
Torta in Spanish America is the usual
word for omelet. 1t is literally a "cake ("
and "of eggs is implied. But the min
ers use it specifically for the "omelet"
of wet ground ore seasoned with the
necessary chemicals TO assemble the sill
yer. In looks it is simply stupendous
mud pie. -Harper's Round Table.

Protection.

Congressman McLaurin has created stir
by his speech in Congress favoring the levy
ing of import duties on cotton.
This newspaper believes MIR. McLaurin Is
right, and we admire his boldness Of speech
That we are to levy import duties to raise
funds to defray the expenses OF the govern
ment is about as certain as any human can
be. This being true the South should realize
the fact. and get as much benefit from "pro'
lection" as any other community. AS indi-
viduals we never refuse good fat office.
Then, why should we as a community, stand
back and allow our section to be ignored.
South Carolina wants protection on rice, Lou
isiana wants protection on sugar, western men
need protection on wool, and Southern men
need protection for cotton, and all the man.
ufactures of all the Southern states need pro-
lection.
Our mechanics and laborers need TO receive
higher wages-which they cannot do with
open ports for the reception Of foreign made
goods.
Congressman McLaurin is right. He Is
working in the interest of the farmer and the
working men.

AbOnt Free Seed.

We clip the following from the lorkVille
Enquirer:
Local seed dealers have been flooded with
circulars from their houses recently, urging
upon them the importance of securing the CO.
operation Of the congressman from this dis
trict in getting the government to discontinue
free distribution Of seed.
II have received the circulars from several
houses" said one dealer yesterday, "but there
is one house that seems most urgent in its de.
mands that has taken unfair advantage OF
local dealers. This bouse got the contract
from the government TO furnish millions OF
packages OF seed to such names as the con-
gresham might furnish. Thousands OF these
have been scattered throughout the country,
but the contemplate part of the transaction
is that this house enclosed in each package
circular setting forth the advantages to be de-
rived in buying direct from the seed grower.
This is stab at the locals dealer, and yet we
are asked by this house TO help pull chestnuts
out Of the fire for it."
There seems to be unanimity OF sentl
ment among the seed growers that the govern.
ment ought TO go out OF the seed business.
That sentiment is natural, from their stand
point, but the people who receive the seed
may have different feeling.
AS to the cheat in sending out circulars.
The postal laws are sufficient to punish the
swindlers, If it Is proved on them. If they
send circulars surreptitiously through the
mails the penalty is so great that their estate
would not pay it.

II. A. Daley, well-to-do Jennison
man, shot his wife and then took poi
son and died while in the charge of
the officers. The woman may possibly
recover. .laI
Last April Daley sent a letter to
Mayor Swift, of Chicago, saying he
wanted woman of mature years as IA
wife, and could give her good home.
The letter was published and Daley
received nearly 500 answers, and out
of the lot selected Mrs. Hattie Newton,
a Chicago widow. Three months ago
they were married. Daley was 20
years old and his bride 45. Daley
knew nothing of his wife's antece-
dents, and their life was unhappy
owing to Dailey's jealousy. After a
bitter quarrel the woman refused to
occupy the same room with Daley. He
gave her three days TO resume wifeiy
relations, but she efused and said she
was going back to Chicago. On the
third morning he forced his way into
her bedroom and, pressing a muslIet
against her right side, fred. She fed
from the house in her nightdress and
fell bleeding on the doorstep where she
was found. Daley was at once ar
rested, but before taking the train for
Grand Rapids he was allowed to enter
a saloon and drink several glasses of
beer He managed to slip some strych-
nine into one glass and in a few mo-
ments was dead. Daley had a fine
farm and considerable money and drew
$40 a month pension. Nothing is
known of Mrs. Dailey's past life.
Daley left a note, indicating that he
had already planned suicide, in which
he said: TOO many railroad men on
my plate for my good health"
