THE LEAD TRUST
''S$GGGEGN
ICON, ntunicuted.1

Lead sold at the Metal Exchange, New
York, on February 9th at $3.50 per hun
dred pounds cash. The price sent out
by the lead trust brokers quotation was
a. 30, and while for days cash sales were
made at 81. IS and above the lead trust
sent ont day after day 1920 as the SELL
ing price. Perhaps the law cannot
reach that kind of larceny. 1t is quite
probable that New York courts would
hold such methods of gain as legitimate
and proper, but to those who have re-
naming some sense of business integ-
rity and self-respect such transactions
are unspeakably dishonorable and repre-

Between the lead trust as it was and
as it is and the smelter trust that is to
be, the silver-lead miner will have to
take to the woods or consent to further
surrender of the profits of his industry
to greed, unless, taking counsel of the
combinations against him, the owners
and producers of silver-lead ores enter
into cooperative agreement and pro-
ceed to smelt their ores themselves. But

Don't say can't. A mouse cut the cords

and efficient working together for the

Keeton is under Indictment for train

begin October 16. He was granted a

the grounds that prejudice was so
strong against him in Coleman county
that he could not get fair trial.
KeetOn's brother was convicted in
Coleman county and given a sentence
of 80 years in the penitentiary. Both
of the Keetons were accused of holding

Increase OF the Garrison At Laredo
Causes Comment.

The announcement that the Mexican
government proposes to enlarge it:

circles on this side of the river, says
the Express.

vo Lsredo-an equal force being main
tanned on this side of the Rio Grande
by the United States.
1t has been the custom for each gov
eminent to maintain about the same
mum Der of men at the stations along
the border, and there is speculation as
to the probable course of the United
States in view of the proposed action
of Mexico.
If the latter country enlarees it's gar
risons at all its posts on the Rio Grande
border and the United States adopts
the same course, there will be con-
siderable addition to the military force
of the Department of Texas, an addi-
tion imprscticable at this time because
of the great number of troops sent to
the Philippines.
The United States military posts on
the Rio Grande are Fort Bliss at E.
i'aso, Camp Eagle Pass, Fort Mcintosh
asLsredo, Fort RingRold at Rio Grande
City, Fort Brown at Brownsville.
1t would require garrison OF 5000
men to supply all these posts should
Mexico determine to increase her mill
tary force on the other side and the
United States desire to keep an equal
force on their frontier.
Such action is extremely unlikely, as
the increase in the Mexican garrison

porary and for the purpose of sweeping
from the border the .hords of snug
glers, bandits and desperadoes that in
lest that section. sThere is no menace
TO this count y and The War Depart
nent is not expected to take action in
response to this move by Mexico.
No sane man anticipates that Mexico
and the United States will ever again
become embroiled in war, but both
are equally interested in keeping the
border free from disorder.
Although some slight changes have
;aken place recently in the garrison at
Jusrez, there has been no increase, nor

KILLED A CENTIpEDE
Big Insect Came Toa Sudden End
Last EVeninu.

Last night several women passing in
were thrown into a pauicky condition
by the sight of six inch centiped g
crawling on the sidewalk.
Col. David Horn noted that some
thing was up out in front and fastened
to the rescue. AS soon as he caught
sight of the ferocious insect and not
ed the terrified women, he
sprang forward and with one stroke of
tipede.
Horn says he cares no more for q
centipede than for fly and has slept
in the wilderness on the ground when
they were crawling over him all night
and slept soundly, too.

A GOOD WOMAN GONE.

Mrs. Amanda Marshall died
Tuesday night at her home in
Fernwood, after a short illness OF
pneumonia. aged 80 years. The
deceased was a sister OF Rev. w.
g. Black, d. D., editor OF the
New Orleans Christian Advocate,
and was an aunt OF the Messrs.
Enochs brothers. She was a
woman OF fine intelligence, in !,
dustrious habits, and was d con-
secrated Christian. Being left a
widow several years ago, the re-
sponsibility of rearing and edu-
eating her five children devolved
upon her, and how we'll she dis
charged that duty, these sons
and daughters attest. Her re-
mains were carried TO her old
home in Hazlehurst Thursday,
to be laid to rest in the family
burying ground, and large
number OF relatives accompanied
the casket. The bereaved family
have the sympathy Of all who
knew the deceased. MAY God
help them to meet her in heaven.

SENDING OFF FOR GOODS.

Some Of our people, like those
in other towns, have way Of
sending off to catalogue houses
for goods which in il great many
instances can be bought at home
as cheap, or nearly SO, as from
the foreign house. This is wrong.
These houses that send out their
catalogues are not interested III
the least in our community; they
pay no taxes here, do not help
keep up our churches or schools:
but our home merchants do, and
they should have the patronage
OF our people-at least tho pref
erence. We venture the asser-
ton that there is enough money
sent away from here each yepr to
build a town hall or sink an arte-
sian we'll.
Now, we do not believe our peo-
pie actually prefer sending their
money away rather than spend
ing it here, but the fact is they
do it. Then the question arises,
Why do they do SO? We can be st
answer that by giving a CONVEX
sation that recently took place.
A gentleman walked down the
street with lately purchased ar.
ticle in his hand. He met mer-
chant, who inquired of him where
he bought the article. The re-
sponse was 'In Chicago = The
merchant looked rather displeas-
ed ard said: II don't see what
you want to send money away
for. have that for sale. The
gentleman replied: "Well, didn't
know it; Of course | would have
given you the preference had |
known you carried this in stock. !"
Now, how did this gentleman
find out that the foreign house
carried the article in stock? The
answer is very plain. Because
the foreign house advertised the
fact, while the home house did
not, and people will buy goods
that are advertised, some people
to the contrary view notwith-
standing.
If our home merchants would
as industriously advertise their
goods as these catalogue
houses" do, you would hear very
little complaint about money be-
ing sent away from home. Cen

one acre this year in second
