OFFICE OF THE
ueorge A. TreadweIl Mining Company
u William ST., New York

To my friends again:
Some time ago I advised you TO sell your
Greene Consolidated stock, which was then
quoted at $50 share, and buy George A. Tread
well Company stock at $3.50 share thus get
ting four shares of the G. 4. T. stock for one
OF the Greene.
Since then the Greene has gone down and the
u A I. stock has gone up
Many Of you accepted my advice and have
profted by the transaction
1 still think it is for your interest to sell
Greene stock and buy Treadwell, for the follow
ing reasons:
l. The Greene Company is capitalized at six
million dollars, the Treadwel Company at only
three millions. other things being equal there
fore one share Of the Treadwell is equal TO two
shares Of the Greene.
.. The property of the Treadweu Company IS
at least the equivalent in area and in the prob
able extent Of its ore bodies, of the Greene
property.
3. The ores Of the Verde Copper Belt. where
the Ireadwell Company mines are situated. have
that the ores Of the Cananeas-where the Greene
property lies-have The Verde Belt ores aver
age about ten per cent. copper and the Cananea
ores about five per cent
t. The ores Of the Cauaneas have low and those
Of the Verde Belt high values in gold and silver.
With low-priced copper this consideration is of
the utmost Importance.
.. The Verde District has a very great advan-
tage over the Cananea District in its accesst-
bility. its comparative nearness TO market and
its cheaper freight rates
6. The Verde District has whatever further ad-
vantage ltSullS 10 II from pelIB IN the JnlLeQ
States and under the jurisdiction Of the Stars
and Stripes.
:. The Greene Consolidated Company has a
more extensive and expensive equipment than
that OF the Treadwen Company-althOUgh that
Of the Treadwen Company is by means small
and is being rapidly inCreased-but IL has also a
large Indebtedness incurred In procuring this
equipment. The Treadwell Company IS free from
debt and pays its way as II goes. I would rather
have a smaller equipment than so much for
a larger one
s. All things considered, I believe the stock Of
the George a. TreadWeu Mining Company is a
safer and better investment than any other min
Ing stock open to the investing public.
It is because I think so that the company
bears my name.
GEORGE 4. TREADWELL.

 News was received at Marianna that Will Curds, young white man of Union township, shot and killed ne- gro named Rudolph in Dr. Haynie's drug store in Haynes The circum- stances which led to the killing of the negro are about as follows: MT. Cur tis and Dr. Haynie were conversing in the latter's store late Saturday evening, when Randolph entered, took seat on the counter, and talk ing his pistol from his pocket, laid it on the counter beside him. Soon af- ter however, he interrupted the con- versation between Mir. Curtis and the doctor by addressing two or three insulting remarks to Curtis. Curtis told him he did not want to kill him, but that he must not talk to white man that way, at the same time taking the negro's pistol from the counter. Randolph then very hum bly, apologised, saying he was very sorry for all he had said, and Curtis supposing the trouble at an end, gave him back his pistol and Dr. Haynie ordered him from the store. The negro took few steps towards the door, when he suddenly turned and began shooting at Curtis, firing three shots, none of which took effect. As soon as possible Curtis closed in on him, took the negro's pistol away from him and drawing his own pistol shot Randolph three or four times, killing him almost instantly. MT. Curtis immediately wired Sheriff Ford, surrendering, and gave bond for his appearance in justice court, where he was promptly acquitted.

LIBERTY AGAIN.
Another "Final Appearance" Was
 Scheduled Tuesday.


 The final chapter in the litigation over the steamer Liberty, which was to have been taken up in the United States Court Monday morning, was continued over until Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock, says the Memphis Morning News, on account of the ab- sense of some of the witnesses.
 The most important matter taken up will be the references as shown by the records in the United States Court clerks office. Dan Elliott, the clerk, has been called on by the court for all the references in the case, and these will be thoroughly gone over by the counsel on both sides, for the purpose of winding up all the accounts.
 The Liberty case is one of the most complicated in admirality ever tried before the Memphis courts, and has been swinging along now for about five months. It will more than likely reach conclusion some time this week.

ARKAN SAS DIAMONDS.

The Indianapolis, (Ind.) Sentinel says:
 "School Commissioner Charles w. Moore, recently returned from trip on legal business through Southeast ern Arkansas. He brought back with him several handsome specimens of precious stones which have been found in large numbers in that sec tion of the state recently. One was 8 diamond, a handsome white stone of rare brilliancy cut to carat and one- half weight Another was an uncut ruby possessing the deep red color and clearness characteristic of the purest stones. MT. Moores also secured diamond in the rough, which he will probably send to Providence, R. l., to be cut.
 " "'The Arkansas diamond, said MT. Moores to a Sentinel reporter last night, is marked by all the qualities of the South African stone with the single exception that when cut, it's edges are brittle and liable to fracture Otherwise the diamonds, rubies and amethysts found in Arkansas are beautiful and are commanding a ready sale on the market.'"

THE NEGRO ROUsTABOUT.
Best In the World, is the Opinion of
 an Old Steamboat Man.

1.-The negro roustabout is the great
 est freight handler in the world,' said an old steamboat man to the New Orleans Times Democrat, s'and while we have had great deal of trouble lately in dealing with this class of men, it is doubtful if any other class could take the rather unique position which they occupy in the river busi- ness of the country The negro seems to be peculiarly we'll adapted to this kind of work. He is natural freight handler He knows just ex- actly how to take hold of package of freight. Whether the pack is round or square, long or short, large or small, it is all the same with him, for he knows exactly how to take hold of it in order to handle it in the easiest way possible and in the quick
 est way possible With the negro this business is a natural sort of gift. I have been impressed particularly with the swinging walk of the negro roustabout. I have observed that they do not raise their feet more than slight fraction of an inch above the level of the ground or the stage plank. They barely clear the ground with their feet. The reason of this is easily understood.a It requires less physical exertion to raise the foot slightly than it would require if the foot was raised as high as it is by the average person under ordinary circumstances. We know this because of the differ
 ence we have noticed in the extra exertion necessary in climbing stairs of different make. The deep step, for instance, is more trying than the shallow step. The chances are that the negro roustabout goes about this thing in an unconscious sort of way, and he would probably be puzzled if you should mention the fact to him. It is what Darwin would call a case of unconscious selection. 1t is the fittest thing to do, but like many other of natures creatures they do it without being conscious of it. The long, swinging step of the roustabout an
 swers the same purpose. It minimizes the physical exertion, and enables the performer to do more than he would be able to do under other circum
 stances. No other race of men, in my judgment, would be able to do this same kind of work with equal facility, and this is why I say the negIo roust- about is the greatest freight handler in the world, and really he is the only member I know of who is not in any danger of losing bis job"

CIRCUIT COURT.

The jury in the case of State vs J. H. Morrison, for forcibly entering Giliam's meat market, claiming he had an interest therein, returned a verdict of $50 fine and one minute in jail.
 The attention of the court was con- sumed Wednesday morning with the cases of State vs. Vim. Carouthers, selling liquor without license, the juries in six cases returning verdicts of guilty.
 The case of state vs. Dave Allen was continued until Tuesday of next week.
 The next case taken up was that of Wallace Grant, charged with mur- der, for the killing of Alex. Powell, and will probably occupy the court for some hours.
 The grand jury in the case of Rufus Johnson, charged with the killing of James Cole, returned an indictment of murder in the second degree.
 The grand jury returned ten in dictments this morning, among which was one against Will Clinton for horse stealing.

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

The man with the prize nerve has recently been discovered. He is evidently @ firm believer in the power of advertising, as his prop osition recently made to the govern ment will attest. In this proposition he offered the government $50,000 for the privilege of having his face printed on one years issue of postage stamps. He made no secret of the fact that it was his desire to have this done for advertising purposes, pure and simple. True to all traditions, Uncle Sam refused to be coerced and made the prospective advertisers $50,- GOO look like Scents and penny; but had this man succeeded in carrying the matter through, he would have had, without any qualification, the biggest amount of publicity, so far as is concerned, ever attained by any one man.

ARKANSAS NEEDS RAIN.
Cotton Showing Effects of Unfavor-
 able Weather Conditions.

For the week ending July q, Sec- tion Director E. B. Richards furnishes the following summary of Arkansas weather and crop conditions:
 Hot, dry weather continued during the week, although the drouthy con ditions were partially relieved in some few localities by showers on the 18th. Cotton is beginning to feel the effects of the unfavorable weather conditions, especially the crop on the uplands, which is needing rain badly; that in the bottom or lowlands is standing the drouth very well, but is beginning to show the need of mois- ture. In some localities it is willing badly and shedding it's forms rapidly. The dry weather has checked the growth of cotton. Early corn is made in almost all sections, but i'll a few isolated cases another rain within 8 few days would fill out the ears. Gen. erally the prospects are favorable for large yield. The late planted needs rain badly, it is beginning to twist and turn yellow Wheat and oat thresh- ing is about completed and the yield of both generally is below the average, although in some localities it has turned out better than was anticipated both in quality and quantity. Peaches and summer apples and grapes are ripening and being marketed; peaches will not be as poor crop as was ex- pected early in the season, but apples continue to drop and the crop will be short and of poor quality. Some second crop of Irish potatoes are being planted. Garden truck and pastures drying up rapidly.

The above statement we'll evidences the value of advertising. Any man who will voluntarily offer $50,O0O for the purpose of advertising himself has doubtless been greatly benefited by publicity in the past. He has evidently figured out the scheme and has realized that he was bound to make money by the investmentA Of course such a proposition woula never be entertained by the govern ment under any circumstances, but the fact that it was made is the most valuable testimony that could be given to the value of advertising. Ad Sense.

It has just leaked out that the state election commissioners last week ap- pointed woman as the minority member of the White county board of election commissioners. The re- publican member is IS. Rogers," or Miss Sallie Rogers, whose father was formerly postmaster in the county. She was candidate before the re- publican central committee for the place, but was not endorsed, and when she went home she joined the insurgents. By some means her name was recommended for the ap- pointment as election commissioner, and as IS. Rogers" conveyed no knowlege of sex, she was appointed. Under the law she is not eligible.

Fuel scarcity is still the one serious
Industrial handicap. Protracted idle
