100000 FOR TIN NINE.
That is the Price at Which the j. E.
Jones Tin Mine Sells-Part of the
Amount Has Been Paid-LOoks
Like Business.

The tin fever continues to grow in
CASTOR county. The first big deal is
the sale and transfer of the tin mining
rights Of the J. E. Jones plantation
near Bessemer. There is no hot air
on the transaction. Some time ago
Mr.. Jones sold the Temporary right TO
inspect for tin on his plantation for
three months at $25. The contract was
several times renewed. Later a trade
was made by which Mr.. Jones was to
be paid $4,000 for the tin rights. w. B.
Gettis & Co.. probably had a sale in
view before they made the trade. They
sold to w. H. Seaman, OF FL Paso, Tex,
for 500, 900. The contract called for the
first payment to be made June %, 1904,
$4,000. Out of this first payment of
$15,0 900 Gettis & Co. paid Mr.. Jones for
the mining rights on 100 acres of land.
The next payments will be $25, 900 De-
cember %, 1904. The mex So, 900 June
%, 1905. The next $25. 900 December %,
1905, and the final payment of $40. 900
will be made June u, 1906. Mr.. Sea-
man has transferred n sale to the
incorporated under the laws of AriZo-
ma. 1t is thought that the company
will sell the stock on the plan of many
mining companies now being opened
up, and that the stock will be divided
into small shares, but this is only spec
ulation.
There is now a shaft on the land $50
feet deep and still going deeper. The
prospectors seem to be we'll satisfied
hat there is plenty of tin there and
that the mining of it will be a success.
A large part of the territory from
Kings Mountain into the Jones section
has been optioned by the Gettis Com
pany. There are forty to fifty such
documents registered in the registers
office at Dallas. The moun PAID to
the different land owners is not east
ly ~ascertained. The trades are made
in consideration of a dollar n the
price of the option is handed in cash
to the land owner. In his way one
land owner knows nothing of what an
other is getting for his option.-GaS-

being punished he neglected to say
how many persons connected with
those frauds are now in the peniten-

He speaks of the great prosperity OF
the country and the care the republi-

He does not remind his hearers that
there are now twenty-six thousand
idle cotton mill men in the New Eng
land states and thirty thousand en-
ployes of the meat packing plants of
the west u of work. He has no
thing to say of the thousands of en-

had nothing for them to do.

THE DISPENsARY CAMPAIGN.

The ~dispensary campaign is over. The
result of the election has been ascer'
tained-a large majority against tn
proposition.
This was Wilmington's first expert
ence with a local option election on the
liquor question. and we hope it will be
her last.
From the beginning of this campaign,
The Messenger has urged the advocates
on both sides to be calm and conserva-
tive; to refrain from personalities and
from such language n conduct as was
likely TO cause friction among our
people. we warned the people Of the
usual results of this kind upon prohibit
tion and dispensary campaigns. On
June 18th. The Messenger, speaking
on this matter, said.
I'm this connection We are glad to
be able to say that SO far in his cam
paign there has been an absence of the
personal animosity and abuse which
usually attend them"
Several times since that date The
Messenger has given the people warn
ing on this matter and urged avoidance
of the style usually pursued in conduct
ing such campaigns.
we had begun to think our words
were having effect; that our people
would get through the contest without
undue excitement and the arousing OF
personal feelings. Such was the case
up to a few days ago, when all of a
sudden the peRt=ug feelings of the peo-
pie broke out. 1t was as If the Iohs
restraint of passion had only intensified
the feeling and then the campaign
became one of bitterness of expression,
and personal denunciation.
1t is sad to chronicle this, but 1t can
not be denied
The apple of discord has been thrown
in our midst. Friendships of long
standing have been broken. Business
relations have been severed or threats
made that they would be because OF
difference of opinion on this question:
Families have been diVided-father
against son, brother against brother.
and divisions have occurred in the
churches.
All this our city has suffered from
this contest. What can compensate
for this d%eplorable condition? When
will the breach be closed and the
cankerous sores be healed? Not in a
day-nOt in many lays.
1t is to be hoped the a~nti-dispensary
people will be as quiet and orderly II
the day of victory IS they were during
the campaign. The battle is over. Lei
it pass off quietly. without anything
being lone or said to anger or wound
the feelings of any one on either side.

MIR. ROOSEVELTS ADDRESS.

The Messenger gives to its d
this morning Mr.. Roosevelt's address
to the notification committee. 1t is
a shrewd campaign speech from he
republican standpoint. We Will call
attention to his language on some OF
the political topics of the day.
1t is to be noted h "a while he says
he has to the best of his ability OBJ
served his promise to carry out the
principles and policies Of his prede-
cessor, he makes no pledge to con-
tinue that course, if elected to a full
term by the people. In fact, the a
guage used by him rs to his future
course precludeS such a superstition.
OF course. he attacks the demo
cratic party on the tariff and the fl
nancial questions and strongly init
mates that the latter will be an issue
in the coming campaign. He repeats
the republican demand ina when the
tariff law is amended it should be by
the friends of protective tariff. His
declaration in favor of reciprocity
with foreign nations ION the terms
outlined in Mr.. McKinley'S last
speech is in great contrast with the
failure of congress under his admin
istratiol to ratify a single reciprocity
treaty except the one with Cuba. an6
that was by the aid of democrats.
He claims that his party's policy i:
the same for all sections and localities
1t may be SO in theory. but we heal

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

For week ending Monday, July 25.-
The weather during the first half of
the week was warm and dry with tenn
perature ranging above normal; the
latter part vas showery and decidedly
cooler. General rains set in during
the afternoon of the 21st and continued
at intervals in most sections of the
state on the 22nd and 23rd. The heav-
lest doWnpours occurred again in the
south-central section, although there
were heavy, damaging rains in David
son and Granville counties; while the
lightest showers occurred in the east
ern district, with practically no rain
in he extreme eastern counties. Else
where the rainfall was sufficient and
came at the proper time to benefit all
growing cropS. In the extreme eastern
part of the state there is general COM
plant of drought, which has been I'M
broken for a number Of weeks; and
the crops in that section are beginning
to show it's effects. Corn and cotton
continue to improve satisfactorily;
blooms on cotton are now general
Threshing is still in progress in the CEN
trail n western parts of the state,
excepting the extreme west, where har-
Vesting is in the state of completion.
Tobacco, on an average, made very
light improvement during the week.
There were a number of fields badly
damaged by hail and wind storms,
which occurred in several eastern and
central counties on the 21st. Curing
IS becoming general in the principal
a growing districts. Peas are
growing nicely melons are r~ipenins
and are being placed on the market
the quality, however, is generally not
satisfactory. Apples continue to drop;
prospects for other fruit fair.

Goldsboro. N c.. July 27.-Tne young
mar Charlie wilkins. now in Jail On the
charge Of numbering Grey Speight in
this city last Saturday night. will be
given a hearing under habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Clark in Ra-
leigh ext Saturday afternoon. Colo

10 remain in jail until he is taken TO
Raleigh. He might be able to give
bond under the habeas corpus proceed
ings il the resident judge OF this dis
trict was in the city, but he is not and
will not be here until after the time set
for the trial.
The evidence upon which the young
man was committed TO Jail is purely
circumstantial n ounsel for the de-
PENDANT are satisfied that they will be
bile TO prove that il was not wilkins
who inflicted the blow that ended the
life Of Speight. II will be remembered
that Speight. who lived for more than
twelve hours after he was cut or struck,
refused positively TO tell who it was
that killed him. When Speight was
found with his face and beard matted
in blood. he had a. open knife in his
hand. He was conscious then and re-
manned SO for quite a while afterward.
but his lips were sealed as to who did
the bloody deed. Those who were in
innate with Speight took his silence on
the. subject 10 mean that he thought he
would get we'll and that he wished to
take revenge on his adversary himself.
1t is now said that Wilkins had some
trouble with a negro in the locality in
which Speight was killed.
The case has attracted a good deal
of ttention and the public will wait
for the result of the habeas corpus
proceedings with much interest.

A fight to the finish are the words
which come from Chicago regarding
the strike. If it be true that the pack
ing plants have an immense quantity
OF meat in cold storage the companies
are not losing but are making extra
profits because Of the strike, and the
are the ones who are suffer-
ing. The packers will keep the strike
on until they work off their extra
stocks of meat then there will be a
speedy settlement of the matter in dis
pute.
