AUBURN DOTS.

We are having some very dry weather
now, and dust is plentiful.
A negro got his hand badly cut by
Carruth's circle saw at the mill last
week.
The dry weather and the fancy price
of cotton are causing farmers to hustle
around
Cotton crops are indeed short in this
part of the country, lots of them being
cut off half and some even more than
half.
Mr.. L. ID. Hughes and family are fix
ing to move to Brookhaven. We re-
gret very much to see them go, but our
loss will be Brookhaven's gain.
Mrs. Mary Magee, Mrs. Maggie Flow
ers and children and Mr.. Ed. Coker
made trip to Hamburg last week to
visit DR.. Kirby Magee, of that place.
The Auburn Literary society met
last Friday night and reorganiZed, and
Messrs. r. E. L. Coker, E. j. Coker and
j. E. Carruth, jr., were appointed as a
committee to revise the constitution
and bylaws.
Prof. A. A. McAlpin was again unan-
imously elected to teach the Auburn
high school. Both teacher and pat
rons hope to make this the most sue
cessful term in every way that has ever
been taught at this place, and there is
no reason why it should not be per-
feet success. We think any young
man or young lady who is anticipating
going to school could not do better
anywhere than they could at Auburn
The school will open the first Monday
in October.
Mrs. Denman, who had been suffer
ing intensely for more than two
months, recently died at her home
near this place and went to her reward
in Heaven. She seemed to be per-
fectly resigned to the will of God, and
bore her Affections without a single
word of complaint. When we become
so afflicted in this life that all hope of
recovery has flown away, if we have
learned to love God and can fully
realize that all is we'll with our souls,
death is indeed welcome visitor We
extend to Mr.. Denman and children
our heartfelt sympathy.

A Free scholarship.

1t will be of interest to the people of
Brookhaven to know that the present
administration of Whitworth College
have decided to make the following
offer of free scholarships to the citi-
zens of Brookhaven. A free scholar
ship in the literary department will
be given to a representative of each
church in Brookhaven, provided the
pastor or official board of the church
interested will certify that the propcs
ed beneficiary is worthy the aid ex-
tended, and unable, financially, to
avail herself of the advantages of a
college education.
President Watkins and Vice-Presi-
dent Burton make this munificent Of
fer to show their interest in this COM
munity. As the public will note, it is
made to jew and Gentle alike, regard
less of UNCONVENTIONAL lines, and we
are sure some deserving and ambi-

the town will embrace this splendid
opportunity of acquiring thorough
education, and that ii will rebound to
the honor and fame Of Whitworth Col

A War Story.
Jackson Cor. N. o. Plcaynne.l

odcksoH COT. y. y. Plcaynne.
There is,in the city of Jackson, gen.
tleman, who at the battle in the Will
derness, when Robert. E. Lee said,
"Come, forward men, will lead you,"
aught the bride of General Lees
horse and said, "You go to the rear,
General Lee, and we will go to the
'front.'" That man is Hon. r. J. Hard
ing, the Democratic sheriff and tax
collector of Kinds county.
Colonel Harding is as modest as he
is brave, and many people who have
known him for years have never heard
him mention the following from re-
Gently published volume, entitled,
Robert Edward Lee, Soldier, Citizen
and Christian Patriot"
"One of the grandest pictures ever
thrown on wars magic canvas was
seen when General Lee, seeing his
troops broken in the wilderness, or
dered forward the Texas brigade to re-
take the lines which had been lost,
saying, Come, forward men, 1 will lead
YOU A private seized the bride of
General Lees horse, and said, with i'm
perative respect: You go to the rear,
Generel Lee, and we will go to the
'front.' General Lee gazed for mo-
ment--did not show the least excite
ment, but with great det ermination he
finally remarked to the soldier: Il will
obey you if your brigade will obey me-,
and turned and rode to the rear. The
soldiers conduct was heroic, patriotic
and respectful-Lee's was godlike.
The brigade was sent to the front, the
lost position was regained."
Commenting on the above in the
Vicksburg Post, Colonel j. L. Power,
secretary of state, says:
"The private soldier, on the occasion
referred to, was Captain r. J. Harding,
of Company B, First Texas, and asso-
ciated with him in the incident was
Lieutenant White Randle, of Company
L. When the cry went up from the
troops, Lee to the rear! Lee to the
rearp the soldiers named seized the
bride of the generals horse, when Cap
tain Harding said: Go back General
Lee. If you'll go back we'll whip the
Yankees Go forward then,' he re-
piled, and riding to the rear, joined
General Longstreet.
"We have seen a private letter from
Mr.. L. L. Mccarthy, of Ennis, Tex,
who was an eye witness to the forego-
ing, circumstantiall confirms it.

Timely Advice,

Trustees and patrons should, before
the beginning of winter schools give
some attention to the condition of
school houses. 1t seems strange that
any neighborhood will tolerate an un-
comfortable school house when it is
the winter home of the children of
from ten to twenty families, none
of whom would live in such house;
also the wood supply is very often de-
ficient, both in quality and quantity.
1t would be an easy matter to remedy
this by the patrons providing for a
winter supply of wood for the school
just as they do for home use.-Frank-
lin Adrocdte.

,nre we're in Brookhaven for short
'sbile Saturday evening, and were met
Nv Messrs. A. c. McNair, F.F. Becker
and other leading citizens, who ac-
.no;nted them, as best they could, in
.So limited time allowed, with the ad-
rortaOes to be derived from locating the
...,;on in this immediate vicinity.
Hon Edgar S. Wilson, the manager OF
,bo picayune's Mississippi Bureau, who
hos done and is still doing so much
for Mississippis moral, political and
;rdustrial advancement, accompanied

oomed by his Brookhaven friends.
The committee appeared well pleas
ID with Brookhaven and its surround
;ncs but of course reserved any de-
Ante expression of preference between
this and other points competing for
the location.
THE LEADER cannot predict to what
extent Brookhaven will prove factor
in the contest when the final decision
is made; but will say the question of
location is one which especially con-
Germs and interests the farmers OF Lin
coin county. The location of the sta
ton in this county on some site near
this city, would infuse new life into
the farming interests in the way OF in
Producing improved agricultural meth
DDS, fine stock, etc. The fact that the
committee visited this place is proof
that Brookhaven is regarded by 1t as
an eligible point for the location, with
in the terms of the special act of the
legislature, and should encourage
every farmer of Lincoln county to
heartily cooperate, to the extent OF
his means and ability, with any effort
made to secure the establishment of
the station here.

CLOTHING.

great deal of clothing fits like

the cloth, but pay no attention

PUBLIC ROADS.

Lincoln county today enjoys the
distinction of having her public roads
worked under the contract system.
That the system has proven its pos
sible efficacy, no fair minded person
will for moment deny. That our
roads are not altogether what they
should be we admit, but they are SO
far superior to what they were under
the link or overseer system that it
would be a reversal of the law of prog
ress to go back to our ancient methods.
Now in order to produce further
improvement | wish to offer sugges-
ton or two. Nine-tenths of the dis
satisfaction at present originates with
the efforts of the contractors to collect
the $500 commutation, and then, when
the commutation is collected, the con-
tractors may be just little bit indif-
fersnt about putting the roads in
proper condition while the money
lasts. My suggestion is this, that
when the present contracts expire, let
the board of supervisors contract all
public roads at a specified sum per
mile; then let the Communication be COL
lected by the sheriff or some person
appointed by the board of supervisors
Tor the purpose; let this Communication
be turned into the treasury just as
the one mill tax is, to be paid out on
The order of the board as the work
progresses, The contractor will
Ihen have nothing to do but
look after the proper working of the
roads and will be paid only as the
work merits it. Lincoln county, even
In their present condition, should be
proud of her public roads; they are so
lar superior to what they were under
'ne old system" that only the most
predJudiced against the material pros
perlty of the County can find any
cause for complaint. If there is any
one who can offer something better
Than have, by all means let us hear
from him. SpO

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AGAIN.

In another column of today's Asto-
rian win be found a second letter from
Mr.. Ogden. of Portland. intended as a
reply to our criticism Of his previous
defense of Christian science.
Mr.. odgen maintains that Jesus
classed sin and sickness together as
cause and effect and healed the one
by DESTROYING the other. Sin. accord
ing to Mr.. Ogden. may be construed
to mean disbelief in the doctrines Of
Christian science. and thus he attempts
TO evade the important fact that the
saintliest persons alive are the help
less invalids who have been long suf-
ferers from incurable disease. Their
ignorance of the real laws Of God. as
revealed only to the Christian scien-
lists. is the cause of their years Of suf-
fering. according to his theory. It is
one Of the wonderful things of the
present age that intelligent persons
can be found who will believe such
rot.
In denying our assertion that the
ranks Of Christian science do not con-
tain one person of prominence in the
scientific world, Mr.. Ogden forgets to
support his denial by the names Of a
few of the eminent scientists who en-
dorse this absurd belief. The germ
theory Of disease. which is now unques-
tioningly accepted by the scientific
world, is. Of course. utterly rejected by
Mr.. ogden.
For his final proof of the accuracy
of his belief. Sour correspondent refers
to the. cures which Christian science
has effected. Allopathy and homeo-
pathy also have their cures. and on
them the ordinary mortal is content
to rely in times of sickness. yet Mr..
Ogden would tell us that these systems
of medicine are founded in ignorance
and folly. Granting that Christian SCI
ence has had its cures. may it not,
nevertheless. be built on the same
foundation? If these cures be the only or

THE SALMON INDUSTRY.

Cathlamet Gazette
One Of the most important indus
tries Of the lower Columbia river is
the salmon Industry While the log
ging is extensive, it does not compare
with that OF the salmon.
The Gazette is pleased to write that
the business men Of Astoria and the
fishermen are beginning to make an
united effort for the preservation OF
this industry which is from year to
year becoming less important, Upon
its perpetuation. to great extent de-
pends the prosperity OF Astoria and.
in fact, nearly every other town along
the lower Columbia. 1t is no Won
der then, that the citizens Of Astoria
are becoming anxious to have laws en-
acted that will protect the industry.
From our personal knowledge, there
have been no laws enacted by the legis-
latures Of Oregon or Washington. that
have not had for their object the bene-
fiting of certain class OF fishermen
instead Of the industry, and during
this time we have seen the run OF
Chinook salmon decrease each season.
The time has come when the business
men and residents Of the lower river
must unite in an effort to have such
laws enacted that win protect the fish.
In an interview with a number Of
fishermen in regard to the. proper laws
We find two ideas. viz; A thirty-six
hour close each week. and four months
close each year. from January lst to
May 18th.
Chas. Davis. prominent fisherman
of Chinook. is not in favor Of a thirty
six hour close. but favOrs a four
months close. He argues that with
thirty-six hour close the fish would !
not be given time to reach the spawn |
ing grounds and would be caught by |
the up river fishermen; that the Ore
gon cannerymen would not agree to
it. neither would the bar fishermen.
He was Of the opinion that with a
Jour months close season the law would
be generally observed. and could be
with little expense. On the
'ther hand. the advocates for the thlr-
y-six hour law claim that such law
$ being enforced on the Frazer river.
md good results are being obtained:
md also that very few Of the fish that
70 up the river during the proposed
our months close season Of the year
iver reach the spawning grounds.
1t is more than likely that these
wo propositions will be presented to
he fisheries committee of the Washing
on and Oregon legislatures next win
