claim that the capital stock of the

Gals higher up in the Republican party
than those under Indictment.
MIR. Roosevelt, like General Grant, is
personally honest. His administration,
like Grants, is honeycombed with frauds
and scandals. Fortunately the Democrats
controlled the House then and the whole
ugly scandal was laid bare and a cabinet
officer had to go in disgrace. Unfortu-
nately for honest government, the
Republicans now control both branches
of Congress, and have the power to pre-
vent any Congressional investigation. But
if Mr.. German and other honest men will
continue their fight until they focus public
attention upon the Republican determi-
nation to cover up the stink pots they
will convince honest voters of the need
for cleaning out the corruptionists.

cannot make the language any stronger
than that. Science and language have
not provided it. Some people say: We'll
could invest a lew dollars in Z mining
company, but what would it amount to-"
IN this connection | Will give you few
figures. IN 1892 the Independence Mime
OF Cripple Creek, Colorado, was offered
fer sale for 100000. No buyers. The
mine was sold n 1898 six years later, Tor
$4,000, 900. Money in that for the stock
holders, wasn't there? It was clean
money, too-''not gambling cotton future
money" The Tol-Boy mine in Colorado
was bought for $125, goo in 1895; sold in
1899 for $1S00, 600. In 1893 the Sultana
was bought for 100000. Three years
later a million was offered and refused.
In 1892 Morris Yeuzell OF Moscow, Idaho,
a merchant tailor, received in payment
for suit of clothes 500 shares OF lie
Roi Gold Mining Company's stock. In
1897 he received for this same stock So
per share and accrued dividends amount
ing to 100000. Pretty good price for suit
OF clothes wasn't it? The Granite Noun
tain sold for 10 cents q share, with the
same capital stock as Great Western,
with The same par value ST. and ii went
to $G5 per share. The Mollie Gibson sold
FOR 10 cents it went to $l3 per share.
Five years ago the stock Of the Gold Com
mine at Victor, Colorado, was offered
1t cents per share. The Cold Coin has
been paying dividends from l cent to
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
$50 600. There seems to be money in
mining, and remember, it is clean money.
God put the gold, silver and copper and
iron 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 a few Of them:
The St. John Delroy has paid in divi-
dends more than $13 500 .00O; Boston and
Montana, $25, 600. The Consolidated
California and Virginia has paid more
than $4,000, 600. The Homestake, of
South Dakota, returned dividends of So

averaging 81 per ton. The Alaska Tread
well pays annually $1,000 on each LOCO
shares stock from ore averaging $3.50.
The Great Western ore will average $50
per ton What dividends ought our stock
holders to expect when we get thoroughly
equipped?
Now there is another important feat
ure 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

the increase in the value of the stock
will be more than 500 Per cent. in ad-
dition to your dividends, in the near lu-
ture.

the grand snd noble institution was trans

has been changed and instead OF beng

of thought and start the young men who
go out from her on a road that, to say

RkLEiGH'S MOST DISTINGUISHED
CITIZEN.

North Carolina people who know him
well have bu. one fault to find with Gen.
Robert F. Hoke, who honors Raleigh by
making it his home. and that fault is his
extreme modesty and retirement. 1t is a
fault that is rare and one that is easily
forgiven. General Hoke was one of the
ablest generals in the Confederate army,
and has every quality to have won world
wide fame in long war. He made reputa-
ton that entities him to rank with the first
soldiers of the War Between the States,
and yet so great is his modesty and his
aversion to appearing in public that half
the young people in Raleigh fail to recog-
nize that, here in the capital city, there
resides a man more like Lee. in appear
ance and in military genius than any liv-
ing man. If he lived in some far off spot,
young people of this city would make
plgrimages to see him. But, living quiet
" among us, we forget the distinguished
honor that is given to Raleigh to have a
citizen so honored and so distinguished.
The High Point Enterprise has an edi-
torial comment in the current number,
embracing letter from a noble and brave
Federal soldier, which has suggested the
above comment upon Raleigh's most dis
tinguished citizen. 1t is as follows:
1.-The Enterprise saw letter this week
from General Henry Splain, of Boston,
x-bo conr,a D1ad Jioi.1naD'c BRIGADE dllr-
ing the Civil War. 1t was written to an
old comrade, Lieutenant-C Colonel E. w.
Kendall, who has made his home in High
Point for the past three years, and in
reference to General R. f. Hoke. dis
tinguished Confederate, he says:
Il would be delighted to meet Cen
eral Hoke anywhere, but it is asking
too much of him to come on here. A
simple regimental reunion is hardly
the place to meet the distinguished
General whom I had the honor to be
so near on several occasions. You are
at liberty to invite him, and if he
comes, he will be treated with dis
tinguished respect. If every general
officer of the Confederate army had
captured as many Northern soldiers
as General Hoke did, there would have
been no Union army left
Sat the battle of Wise's Forks 1 was
put with my brigade to engage and
retard Hoke's advance he having as
sumed the offensive The order was
changed because i looked so young
and boyish, and the brigade sent out.
It's commander was larger and looked
older than l, but the iole was that
he was four years my junior. That
other brigade never came back. Hoke
got them all
General Hoke while he is known to be
one of the greatest soldiers the State ever
sent to the front, is modest Win 1T all.
He has been occupied with his private
affairs since he left Appomattox and has
never even let it be known, coming from
himself that he ever fought battle.
What contrast to some who have been
singing their own praises for forty years
General Splain's compliment to General
Hoke is well deserved in every way.

THOUGHT THEY WE'RE DOING SOME
THING SMART.

Clarkton Express.
AS to whether the trustees acted wisely
or not we will not say but we do con-
denim the action of the students when
the result was made known. They hanged
in effigy Mr.. Josephus Daniels, one of the
best Methodsts in the State, and editor
Of the News and Observer, the largest
circulated daily paper in the State, just
because he, like nearly every editor IN
the South, denounced as a SANDER the
statement published by DR.. Bassett that
the negro would win socially and that
Booker Washington was the greatest man
the South had produced in hundred years,
except Robert e. Lee. We are surprised
that even school boys should stoop to
this, knowing that Mr.. Daniels, through
his paper, is doing more for temperance
than any other man in the State. Bur
the boys doubtless thought they were do
ing something smart and Kilgo and Bas-
sett thought so too, no doubt, but they
will regret it.
