George b. Upton aud George +.
Sanders returned from the south
ern part of the territory the early
part of last week and report the
same general activity noticeable in
that section as prevails around
Wickenburg in the mining line.
Both gentlemen are largely inter
ested in mining here, Mr.. Upton
being the general manager of the
Orc Grande and Mr.. Sanders Oc-
cupying the s~ne position with
the Angel and Bess mines, and
their trip was made for the purpose
of inspecting the plants and meth
DDS of mining employed in the big
mines at Tombstone, Bisbee, Cliff
ton. Cananea and Morenci.
When asked concerning the out
look for the mining industry in
the sections visited, Mr.. Sanders
said that one not acquainted with
conditions could scarcely realize
the great amount of work being
done at and around the big mining
camps in southern part of the ter
ritorv. Like the districts around
Wickenburg, southern Arizona Is
the scene of the greatest mining
activity ever known in the South
west, and large sums are being ex-
pended in development work. A
goodly number of sales and bonds
have been made during the past
few months,
Both gentlemen saw much dur
ing the trip that was interesting

learned from an inspection of the
plants and various methods of re-
duction and mining and the var

CAUGHT BY THE DOGS.

Because Of the lateness Of the hour
at which the information was received
at this office, 1t was not practicable to
give details Of the escape of the Negro
preacher Titus Lynn from the chain
gang last Monday afternoon and his
recapture; but it Is really due to the
chaingang dogs that a fuller story be
published.
Stories Of escapes throughout the
state are quite common. and in almost
every one Of them there is a mention of
the dogs. This mention. however in
variably runs something like this:
1.-The dogs were put on the trail; but
the scent was too cold and they were
unable to follow" 1t Is customary to
offer a good excuse for the dogs; but
all this has not served to check a
growing impression on the part of the
general public that bloodhounds are a
failure. In the case Of Lynn, however,
the dogs scored point
Lynn is the Negro who broke the
plate glass front out Of the store Of A.
e. Smith & Co., at Rock Hill, recent
ly. His object was robbery; but he
cut his hand very oadly in the COM
mission of the crime, and the trail Of
blood he left led to his detection and
arrest shortly afterward. He was tried
and convicted at the last term of the
court on another charge Of nousebreak-
ing and sent up for 13 months, with the
Smith-Fewell affair still hanging.
1t seems that by reason Of the glass
breaking accident, the Negro still had
a badly swelled arm when he landed
on the chaingang, and on the advice
of the county physician he was not re-
quired to perform severe labor. There
was some plowing and planting to be
done at the county home farm last
Monday. For this kind Of work 1t Is
customary to use TRUSTEES and SO-day
convicts. Just now there Is short
supply Of both, and Lynn was pressed

ALTHOUGH first reports had 1T that Al
or so people escaped from st. Pierre
with their lives, and later it was stated
that some 45O saved themselves by
flight, it is now certain that this was

rescued from the vicinity shortly after
the disaster, but they seem to have
come from the country surrounding

the auspices of the Ladies' Memorial
ter of the Daughters Of the Confedera-
cy. were largely attended and excited
considerable local interest. The people
gathered In the court house at the ap-
pointed hour. 5 p. m, and filled the
building to overflowing. Mayor M. c.
Willis presided, and after prayer by
Rev. w. G. Neville. the choir sang Dix
lie, after which Captain Iredell Jones, Of
Rock Hill, made an interesting ad-
dress that was listened to with much
attention. At the conclusion Of this ad-
dress, Major James F. Hart read the
roll of the soldier dead buried in the
cemeteries, after which the choir sang
Maryland, My Maryland" and there
was an adjournment to the cemeteries.
The procession to the cemeteries was
led by the Jasper Light Infantry and
the K. NJ. M. A. cadets, with their
drum corps in front. After them came
the ladies societies, the old veterans
the school children and the people gen.
orally. making quite long line. The
exercises at the cemeteries consisted
In the firing Of salutes and the decora-
tion of the graves with floral tributes.
1t was nearly sundown before the ex-
ercises were completed.
THE people Of Yorkville will do we'll
to give careful attention to the efforts
Of the York Cotton mills to secure an
abundant supply Of pure cold water
through artesian wells. While the pub
lie water supply, as now furnished, Is
quite abundant and probably mucn
purer than Is furnished from any Of
the private wells Of the town, still from
the very nature OF the case, it is i'm
possible that 1t could be absolutely pure.
The branch from which the supply
comes drains a watershed on which
there is steadily growing settlement,
and the water will, Of necessity, be less
pure with each succeeding year. Again,
on account of the distance over which
the water has to be pumped to the
standpipe, and the elevation that has
to be overcome, the cost Of pumping is
greater than If the distance and eleva-
ton were less. An artesian well in the
town, provided there could be any as
surance that such a we'll could be pro-
cured at reasonable cost, provided al
so 1t would yield a sufficient supply Of
water, would result in very material
Improvement over present conditions.
It is generally conceded that artesian
water Is invariably free of disease
germs, and this fact counts for much.
Then again, with sufficient water sup
ply closer in, the iong line Of otherwise
useless pipe between the reservoir and
the standpipe, could be used to much
advantage in extending the mains to
other points in town not now reached
by the public water supply. The whole
subject seems to be worthy Of careful
Investigation.

nothing of such intention. Further.
that the mill is making no preparation
to start on Monday. He did say, how
ever, he is ready to start the machinery
whenever a sufficient number of en-
ployees come and tell him they are
ready to go back to work. He says
he is not anxious to start the mill before
the price of cotton goes down, but will
do so whenever operatives in sufficient
number say they are wiling to- go back.
The union leaders say only non-union
operatives are getting dissatisfied: but
no settled movement can be seen in the
whole body.
