johnson Granted Bail.

The preliminary trial OF j. O.
johnson for the kilIing-of w. e.
Miller at WelIman, took place in
Brookhayen last Saturday before
Justice Daughtly. Attorneys a.
C. McNair and H. Cassidy appear
ed for the defense and j. N.
Yawn, Of Bogue Chitto, for the
State. The trial, which extended
into the night, took place at the
coult house, and quite a large
crowd of spectators we're present.
during the greater portion Of the
proceedings.
4 The evidence showed that the
killing grew out of a dispute be-
tween johnson and Miller over a
contract. johnson was the presi-
dent of the Wellman Agricultural
and Improvement Company, which
lately failed. d Miller had been
employed early in the year by the
company at a salary of $45. 90 per
month to superintend the raising
and shipping of their tomato crop.
After the crop had been dispos-
ed of for the season and the com
pany had failed, Miller insisted
Chat his contract at the salary nam
ed was to run all the year. John
son contended that the contract
was only for the tomato season,
and in addition to this. pointed.
out that the company had failed
financially and was unable to give
Miller employment any longer,
even if his claim was correct,
which was not conceded as mat
ter of fact.
On the night of the killing, af-
ter a dispute lasting several min
utes over this matter, Miller, who
was a younger and much stouter
man than johnson, assaulted the
latter and attempted to do him
violence.
According to Johnson's testi-
mony on The stand, be fired two
shots. The first he did not try to
hit Miller, but fired as he started
toward him to arrest his advance,
Miller, however, who was very
close to him, rushed on him and
the second and fatal shot was fred
while they were clinched.
He explained having the pistol
by saying he had been called to
visit the negro quarter at Well
man that evening after dark, and
carried it because negroes had
been stealing corn from the field,
and be thought he might aeed it
if he found any of them depredat-
ing on his crop. On his way back,
after he had passed the store go
ing towards his home, he was ac-
costed by Miller, who had follow
ed him from near the store, and
then the dispute began which end
ed in the shooting.
After weighing the testimony,
and listening to the speeches Of
counsel, Justice Daughtr5 decid-
led it was bailable case and fixed
Mr.. Johnson's bond at $1,000,
which was promptly given and he
was released.

HOW SOME MINES ARE PRO
 NOTED.


 One of the most serious drawbacks to the floating of new mining enter prises is the high valuation placed on property of intrinsically small relative value, says the Mining and Scientific Press. A prospect may be opened and developed until it becomes a mine hay ing an actual net valuation of. say. SlOO.OOO, with a prospective value of double that amount. The mine is bonded for possibly s25O 900 on the de- ferred payment plan, and then the proposition is Incorporated and eapi- talized for. perhaps. $5,OO,OOO, with a million shares at s each. The pro- motors take about 900, 900 of these shares for their trouble and 400. GOO of these shares are offered to the public at the low price of $1 per share, the remaining 100000 shares being placed in the treasury to be sold later, If necessary, to carry on development or to provide equipment or to be absorb ed by the promoters if the venture proves successful. Under the impress sion that stock offered for 20 per cent of its face value must be a good in- vestment. the public pays $400 900 for two-fifths interest in a mine having doubtful though possible value of $2O0,000. The natural outcome of This method of procedure is numerous fail ures. Even if the property proves a success, viewed from the basis of its true valuation at the time of lncorpo- ration and promotion, it still may fall far short of reaching the expectations of the investors. The property may pay $50O.0OO net profit. which would en- title it to be included among good mines; but the public. who bought in OH basis of $1,0O0, 900, only receive 90 cents on the dollar on their invest ment, and, as far as they are concern ed, the proposition is a failure. This is but a single instance of mine pro- motion, and with little change may represent any one of a large number of flotations If mines were generally promoted on a more conservative Oasis, there would be more successes recorded, and the investing public would seek mining investments in pref erence to ether stocks. In contrast to the above described method of mine promotion, some of the greatest pro ducing and most profitable mines in the world are capitalized for amounts far below the divinends they have al- ready paid. Of course, any mine mak- ing a good showing at the beginning may prove to be one Of the bonanza mines, but in its early history this Is usually only a possibility. Moreover, it is really not so much the capitali- zation of the proposition as the price al which the investors buy into the en- terprise that is to them the true meas ure of success or failure.
