are forming to fight the Payne
Frye shipping bill.
Among those in the House who have re
Gently come out against the bill are many
of the Republican leaders. and it was init
mated by a Senator yesterday morning
that Speaker Henderson himself had de-
cided views in opposition to the bounty
scheme. 1t is given out as absolutely
certain that the bill will not have his
support should it pass the Senate.
Some twenty-five prominent Republic
cans in the House are figured upon as
against the measure by those who are

Effort to Check Gun Carrying in the

There is a growth of feeling in
many regions of the south large

ment, against the habit of carrying
concealed weapons To it has rightly
been attributed the large number of
homicides that marke the civilization
of the south. In South Carolina last
winter Nv was passed prohibiting
the carrying of concealed weapons and
prohibiting the sale of weapons under
size that cannot be conveniently con-
cealed in the clothing. Effort is to
be made to enforce this law. In Men,
phis judge of the criminal court has
announced his purpose of sending
those convicted of carrying concealed
weapons to the workhouse for sixty
days in addition to imposing fine of

offender, but the judge declared that
he would treat white and black alike,
and that there should be no discrimi-

color or anything else. The news

judges action. 1t may be in time that
public sentiment will become so en-
lightened as to relegate this barbaric
practice to oblivion. 1t is something

Colfax Oil and Mineral Company

A large advertisement of this CON-

Chronicle. and the attention OF our
readers is directed to 1t for particu-
lars as to the exceptionally fine chance
afforded for profitable investment.
In these days of wildcat enterprises,
built up on the excitement over the
discovery Of oil in Louisiana and Tex
as, 1t affords US pleasure to offer to
our home people the opportunity to
invest In home enterprise, inaugu-
rated and conducted by men OF we'll
known standing and integrity.

ton to all OF the citizens of this locali-

al knowledge OF the Indications it af-
fords of the presence of oil and other
valuable properties. Without going
into particulars on this score, as we
have discussed. them ON frequent oc-
casiOns heretofore, we will state that
this company Ia an absolutely re-
spOnsible and reputable concern. or.
ganized for legitimate enterprise and
the development Of this country. By
investing a ten dollar bill at this
time. the chances are that in a few
months you can sell your 100 shares
of stock for 500, or il oil or other val
able discovery results, 1t may bring
you $1,000.
Some people will tell you that it is
species Of gambling. 1t is no more
SO than planting cotton or corn
crop with the expectation of realizing
an increase Of fifty fold. when the
crop may turn out a failure altogeth-
err. We know that we have a won
derful supply OF natural gas, which
Of itself can be utilized and made very
valuable We also know that we
have Potassium Chloride. one of the
most rare and valuable salts In the
world. The development OF these
properties alone give almost absolute
assurance OF making the investment
with this company a profitable one.
Then we have all the indications of
the presence of petroleum, and believe
that by going few feet deeper than
our present well will develop a flow
of oil. 1t will take thousands OF dol
lars to prospect for oil and develop
the valuable properties sought to be
utilized and exploited, but 1t Is going
to be done, and the only question is
who of our citizens will he among the
fortunate ones to realize the hand
