CONDITIONS
AND THE GOLD MINER

Eastern iron manufacturers are
strenuously endeavoring to read just,
as far as possible. the disorganized
condition Of the industrial world,
Uf which their operations are the
pulse. A further curtailment of
output Ia deemed necessary to restore
the pig iron market to normal con.
dition. On the second instant a
number of the largest merchant blast
furnace operators Of the East met at
Philadelphia, and decided to reduce
production at least twenty per
cent further. having already reduced
the output materially during Oc
tober. Something will have to be
done in the right direction to
reestablish industrial activity.
The great trusts formed three or
four years ago did much, no doubt,
to promote unusual progress In the
commercial and industrial world. but
some of these great organizations have
come to grief aud investors are
becoming timid. This state of affairs,
coupled with the demands of organized
labor, have so unesttled industrial
conditions that careful men are seek
ing some way to re.establish con-
fidence and bring about u reaction in
the right direction. The past four
years have afforded unprecedented
opportunities tor a few men to show
what can he done by skillful mauip-
ulation of millions of dollars of
other peoples money, in building
great fortunes aud regulations for
themselves.
Of all the industries affected by
the presentconidition of the industrial
world, mining feels II most heavily,
particularly iron, copper and coal
mining. Gold mining, however,
continues in its even course almost
unaffected by either the prosperity or
the reverse Of the country. II
industrial conditions generally are
sluggish, and times are hard, the
gold miner profits by it; II he is
already established in business, he
can then buy machinery aud supplies
at u comparatively low figure.
II, however, he desires to secure

Samples From Cracker

the Cracker Summit, sent In u

property, which arr decidedly the

samples show free gold In abundance

all appearances. No assays have
been made, and an estimate IN to the
richness of the ore would be purely
matter Of conjecture, but II
appearances are not misleading the
strike is fabulously rich.
No advices came from Superinten.
dent GHmbs as to the extent Of the
strike. but IN work is now being con-
centrated on the lower drift, the
samples evidently came from this
locality. The ore hns been getting
better aud better here with distance

assayed went M high as IN t6O,
which was rather unexpected, as tho

money to equip and develop a new
enterprise, he usually finds difficulty
in raising the necessary funds.
When the country ia prosperous. as 1t
has been siLce the recent Spanish
war, all supplies are high. and ma
chinery particularly Is much more
expensive than few years ago. So
heavy have been the demands for
structural iron and steel that the
iron mines have until lately scarcely
been able to keep up with the con.
stantly increasing demand. In view
Of this condition, much old ma
chinery has been iemodeled into new,
or has been melted In the furnaces to
supply material for constructing new
machinery designed on modern lines.
Gold always finds ready market
at uniform price, and no matter
what the condition of the times, the
gold miner feels secure. Mining and

The Cold Steel Truth.

Judge Critz offered his life, on
many a battle field for the cause of
the South, and has never wavered in
his devotions for every practicable
measure which promotes white su-
premacy. The attempt to put any
body ahead of him as the representa-
tive of white people is bare faced
assumption, and shows a low opinion
of the intelligence of the average
voter, and should be resented as an
affront to the popular intelligence.
His love for white supremacy is SO
great that he would never seek vote
by attempting to run with the tide
in a way to endanger tried and tested
safeguards which give to the white
people every privilege and right
which the United States Constitution
authorizes Progress Ad-
VertiSer.

county could gain just now, would he
to fill up our vacant spaces with
strong, vigorous, moral and substan-
tial citizens, and to convert our
uncultivated fields and unproductive
lands into rich harvest bearing farms;.
we are eager in the work OF bringing
our lands and timber, and industrial
opportunities, to the attention OF q
desired class of home seekers. Many
men in Grenada and ajofning counties
own lands. they do not prOftably
operate and which it would be better
for them to dispose of and better for
Grenada county to have small
farmers on.

IN DESPERATE STRAITS.

Mississippians! Think OF Major
VardamaD, the boaSted champion OF
the people, placing the leading rail-
road and corporation lawyers in the
State in charge of his canvass. "Oh!
consistency, consistency, thou art a
jewell" -. /
Pressed, he turns back on himself
and contradicts his boasting. The
only advocate Of the primary election
system. Indeed! Indeed! Where is
Noel, the author and earnest, strong
advocate OF the measure? Where is
Critz who has spoken for it? Varda-
man, the only man who opposes the
policy of Roosevelt in Mississippi.
Yes, he shows 1T by slandering Roose-
velt's mother.
Where are the fifty-eight Thousand
voters whose ballots were cast against
Vardaman in the election Of the 9Th.
of August. They do not vent
their spleen by saying unkind things
Of any woman. They do not search
the dictionary for high sounding
abusive adjectives to express their
prejudices, but speak out In plain and
definite language their disapproval of
the extreme, impractical, illegal, un-
called for and unbusiness theories.
ESenator George and other able
colleagues, who were learned In the
law, settled all the problems that
confront the people Of Mississippi,
by the constitution of 1890. Yet,
now comes the young giant out from
| the Delta and must set aside every
thing, undo the work of those splen-
did men and anvocate new order of
things that he may be Governor.
Nearly twenty thousand majority of
the people says he can't do it. Yet
he says he will.
| Shall the law be overturned with
out suggestion OF a remedy? Shall
the wild rawlings OF the extremist be
heard and needed against the loud
protests of true political conservatism
and practical common sense? The
State Of Mississippi cannot afford to
take any steps backwards.-Car-
rollton Conservative.

JUDGE CRlTZ'S, DENIAL.

WEST POINT, MISS, Aug. II 1908.
The report being circulated that l
had anything to do with the tele-
grams sent out on the day of the last
primary, stating that Senator Noel
had withdrawn, or had admitted de-
feat, is absolutely untrue. Senator
Noel attaches no blame to me, and in
no way holds me responsible, even in
the romotest degree for these tele-
grams.
These reports, like many other
falsehoods which are being circu-
lated for the purpose Of injuring me.
have no bases in fact, and I am
amazed that the partisans of any
candidate for high Office should stoop
to the methods which are being
resorted to in a desperate effort to de-
feat me.
denounce in unmeasured terms
all of the vile falsehoods which are
being so industriously circulated, and
submit my claims and my character
to a just, fair-minded, and dis
eliminating efficiency.

JUDGE CRlTz At LEXINGTON.
Introduced By Sen. e. f. Noel.

Judge Critz spoke in Lexington,
Noel's home on the 18th to a large
audience. Noel introduced him in a
very effective speech and pledged his
faith to him. Criiz's speech was
enthusiastically received; he spoke
along general lines and among other
things, he roasted Roosevelt and
condemned the radical and extreme
views of the present man in the
White House. The Judge made four
speeches in Holmes county last week,
and it is believed that it will roll up
a nice majority for the Critz column
when the primary is held.

without having doctor. I consider
it the best cholera medicine in the

The position of United States
Senator A. J. McLaurin in the race
for Governor of Mississippi is no
longer question of doubt, for
Senator McLaurin has come out in
letter over his own signature and
states that he will support Judge F.
A. Critz for Governor.
A great deal has been said and
written by the Vardaman and the
Critz supporters in regard to the
position of Senator McLaurin, for
every one in Mississippi knows the
popularity OF Senator McLaurin and
the great following he has in the
State. Both sides have been claim
ing the senator, and these claims have
forced the popular Mississippian to
set all the doubts aside. Ina letter
to a personal friend calling atten-
ton to the published newspaper re-
ports that he was for Major Varda-
man for governor, Senator A. J.
McIaurin writes the following letter:
Your letter is received, and sup
posing you will be in Jackson in at

represented, it is permitted to me tc
make such representation.
