I desire to state here in the most en-
phatic language l can use, and to pile
up on top CT the ether statements l have
made in other advertisements concerning
this grand organization, that l believe
i'll the final outcome Of it as firmly, as
fearlessiy, and as faithfully as l believe
in any business proposition on earth. [
cannot make the language any stronger
than that. Science and language have
not provided it. Some people say: well
[ could invest few dollars in mining
but what would it amount to-"
IN this connection I viii give you few
figures In 1892 the Independence Nine
of Cripple Creek, Colorado, was offered
for sale for 100000. No buyers. The
mine was sold n 1898 six years later, for
SO. o0O, 600. Money in that for the stock
holders, wasn't there? It was clean
money, too-"not gambling cotton future
money" The Tom-Boy name in Colorado
was bought for $l25, eco in 1896; sold in
1899 for 81 500, GOO. In 1898 the Sultana
was bought for 100000. Three years
later million was offered and refused.
In 1882 Morris Yeu2ell OF Moscow, Idaho,
a merchant tailor, received in payment
for a suit of clothes 5000 shares CT lie
Roi Gold Mining COmpany's stock. In
1897 he received for this same stock So
per share and accrued dividends amount
ing to $50, 600. Pretty good price fer suit
OF clothes wasn't it? The Granite Noun
tain sold for 10 cents a share, with the
same capital stock as Great Western,
with the same par value 81, and it went
to SOS per share. The MOllie Gibson sold
FOR 10 cents it went to $l3 per share.
Five years ago the stock Of the Cold Com
nine at Victor, Colorado, was offered
at cents per share. The Gold Coin has
been paying dividends from l cent TO 3
cents per share per month for the past
four years The stock is now $5.25. Five
hundred dollars invested in this stock
five years ago would have bought $500
shares, which would be worth today over
$50 Geo. There seems to be money i'll
mining, and remember, it IS clean money.
God put the gold, silver and copper and
ircn in the earth, and gives man the IN
genuity and brain to set it out.
Miss Chase. Of Bangor, Maine, has re-
fused $4,000 for stock which cost her
500. Her stock yields $3.50 per month
in dividends; here are few of them:
The st. John Delroy has paid in divi-
dends more than $13, 100000; Boston and
Montana, SOS 00o 600. The Consolidated

than $77,GG0, geo. The Homcstake, Of

THE FARMERS CHANCE.

This is the farmers chance. Every
bringing remunerative prices. Tobacco
would bring good prices if the trust HAD
not decided upon a wholesale spoliation
Of the farmer this year. But, now thai
the time for preparing plant beds is near
at hand, tobacco is selling higher. The
trust wishes to bait" farmers to raise
"a. other large crop next year.
The people living in towns and cities
uron whom the higher prices of every.
thing to eat bears heavily, should remem-
Der that they enjoyed prosperous times
when the farmers were selling their pro-
duets at the cost of cultivation. 1T is
a long lane that has no turning" With
better prices for what farmer has to
sell, there will be new and happier life
on the farm, boys will quit deserving it
to come to town, and the State will be
blessed. The way to secure better con-
ditions is to raise chickens, turkeys and
meat, as well as truck and garden
sass for the market The farmer who
has plenty of something to eat to sell
is. strictly Gin it, and will make more
money than growing cotton at twelve
cents a pound.
With better prices for farm products.
the tendency for men to leave the farm:
and crowd into factories will end, and
the exodus will be rather from the towns
to the country, SO that the threatened
danger of the destruction of prosperous
corditions that prevailed IN 1894 will pass
away.

well Gays annually $500 on each 1000
shares stock from ore averaging $3.50.
The Great Western ore will average $50
per ton. What dividends ought cur stock
holders to expect when We get Thoroughly
equipped?
Now there is another important feat
IRE to be considered in this purchase
OF mining stock, and that is the Increase
in the value of the stock. Great Western
is selling at 10 cents per share. Is 1t
not reasonable to suppose that this COM
pany will follow in the footsteps OF 9TH
crs? 1t certainly is, and 1 believe that
the increase in the value OF the stock
Will be more than SEQ per cent in ad-
dition to your dividends, in the near lu-
ture.
Now the LIE Roi stock wcs sold at 10
cents per share when mine started. TIils

and l am very much of opinion that The

where such things have happened. Why
not this? Hon. w. D. Pratt, cf Shasta

has Just commenced it's operations. l tel
you, as sure as you live and l live, there
will be many sore hearts among the
sheptics who failed to take my advice
and buy Great Western when they could
get it at 10 cents per share. l do not
believe in booming IN any sense OF the
word. Any person who knows me well
win know that l would rather die than
lie to, or deceive, my fellow-man. But
Great Western Gold Ccmpany's property
is so valuable that when I come to place
it before you in it's true light it does
sound a little like booming. Judge Henry
Bickel, of Cedar Rapids Iowa, says there
are million tons OF ore in sight. n. e.
Ditmar, Of Redding, California, says:
with the 175-ton smelter (row being
erected,) running will pay you as much
in dividends annually as you are now
paying for the stock" Mr.. Potts, one
OF Redding's most prominent business
men, says we have one of the best mines
in the country. l could give you hundreds
of testimonials as to the value of the
property, and 1 urge you to take my
advice and buy the stock at 10 cents.

GOOD FOR THE SOUTH.

The cotton news yesterday was good for
the South Both cotton and cotton goods
went up. For one alone to increase in
price is a matter for dual feelings-re-
joicing for the farmer or manufacturer, and
sympathy with the other. When cotton
sold at six cents, the farmers were struck
hard. With cotton soaring above twelve
cents, and cotton goods drag on the mar
Ixet at the same prices that prevailed
when cotton sold at nine cents, there was
ruin ahead for the manufacturer.
The South depends upon both. With
the prices of both going up, the South
will be able to spend happy Christmas
in both town and country.

GOOD BAPTIST DOCTRINE.

Columbia State.
Mr.. Massee. it seems. is one of those
not very rare individuals who cannot dis
criminate between legitimate criticism
and unjust abuse, and it was natE.al
for him 10 cry out at the first opportunity
that the press abuses its liberty, that

strong arm of the law on the nevd-

DR.. Battle was talking good Baptist

1t is claimed, we believe. by some that
Mr.. Jefferson got his ideas of popular
government largely from a study OF tie
Baptist denomination polcy-in which
all members are on an equality il
thought, speech and authority, free 10
think, to talk, to act as the individual
conscience dictates; in which every
church is d sovereign body, with power

which the people rule, a democracy I'm
aGulterated Mr.. Jefferson did not sue
coed in ENGRAVING all his ideas of popular
government into our constitution which,
in its permanent shape, is compromise

advocate were not dssimilar to the Bap-

character of my reply
Now let the incident rest. We are all
liable to err-none more than the ferVid
child of genius who in the midst of new
environments has not quite mastered all
the conditions, and faEcies that a divine
voice is calling to a special, delicate and
important mission. Time corrects many
things, and out of the throes of suffering
for mistakes there often comes the strong
