TOM LAWSON IS GAME SAYS HE DOES NOT NEED ANY
 AID. Has Lost Millions by the Slump in Copper Stocks, But Declares
 That He Will Keep Up Fight.

New York, Dec. 11.-A Boston special to The World says
 No one regrets more than l the bad break in the price of the stock of the Trinity Copper Company, which occurred last week." said Thomas W. Lawson last night.
 ''I own 100000 shares. short time ago worth at the market price $6,OO0,0OO. at Saturdays price only $2,00o,OO0, but as none of it is carried on margin or bor- r ed on, and as l believe It worth much more than it has ever sold for, and will sell higher than 1t has ever sold, l will not part with it, and 1t, therefore, can in no way be a menace to the market
 "As I believe there is little Trinity carried on margin outside that carried by my house. which will carry its cus- toners to a finish, I see no reason for holders to be scared into selling.
 The cause of the drop in price was that everything that I am or am sup posed to be interested in has been un- der savage attack for weeks.
 T protected Trinity by buying until, as tke onslaught grew more furious, might have fatally weakened myself if ] had stood my ground longer.
 ''I therefore decided it best, regard less of the personal humilia ation, to beat a retreat I earnestly request those who fin the past have been with me in some pretty tight stock market holes. and who then had faith. afteFward found to be well-foundcd, not to allow any of the des-

perate tactics of my generous opponents to prevail with them to the extent of causing them to act to their own loss.
 Above all, I ask them not to be stampeded by the rumors, however we'll backed they may be, that have capitu- lated or compromised. I give them my word-and they, regardless of Wall Street scoffs, know whether my word should be, as 1t always has been, at par-I give them my word that I cannot be 'gunned out or made to capitulate or compromise, and that I will be doing what business de- cided to do in the way I decide to do 1t when every one of those who are fight ing me has sneaked off the field. and shall do this, as in the past, without ask ing or accepting any assistance from any one.
 q do not wish to disguise that since the cut in the Amalgamated dividend I have lost heavily, or that l will con- tinue to lose, but I do want those who through long years of good and bad times have been with me to know that I am now, as always in the past, con- ducting my affairs on those old-fashioned business principles which are absolute guarantees of solvency at all times with out the favor of any; and I also want them to know that the fight now on, which started with the Coke and Gas affair and climaxed in the cup defending episode. Is to be finish, and that while I expect no quarter, want none and will give none.
 q just want my friends to know this fight will be to a finish"

 ABLE DISCOVERY.

 in the Mayors Court.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, Dec. II, l9Ol.
 MT. R. W. Creagh. well to do farmer at Suggsvine found a very valuable de- posit of mica on his land few days ago. The find was, made accidentally. The ground upon which the mica deposit was found lies about a hundred yards from MT. Creagh's house and is of soft and sandy appearance without the sign of a rock or any kind of vegetation upon it. The other morning Mir. Creagh told one of his hands to blow up the ground as he was going to try to cultivate 1t. The negro began the blowing and was half across the plot of ground when, the blow point turned up what was seemingly a rock that glistened very brightly in the sunlight. The negro farm hand picked up the rock and took 1t to MT. Creagn for examination. but MT. Creagh could not tell what 1t was. He decided to send it to the State Geo1ogist for exam- ination. Accordingly he boxed it up and shipped 1t and in a few days 1t was re- turned to him marked pure isinglass. " Since then Mir. Creagh has dug up a great deal of the isinglass and as it, comes up in large chunks and there seems to be an almost inexhaustable supply of 1t on his land he may he able to make fortune from 1t.
