LIVING OVER
A RICH MINE
A Prominent Specialist Thinks
Our Green Mari Beds Con-
tain a Fortune.

A prominent specialist who spent
several days in this city recently said
to Herald man on the eve of his de-
parture that he considered one of the
richest possessions this city and terri
tory owned was the extensive beds of
green mari, and he could not under
stand why some of our home capital
lists had not seen the opportunity to
make big money by cultivatiDg the
mines and selling the product. He
said he would not be surprised IL
at some early day outside capital
took hold of the proposition. He re-
fused to commit himself on this point
further than to say that he knew
people had their eyes on the field
here. He said there was no question
about the big profits to be made out Of
this product, as it was known to be one
the very finest of fertilizers, and the
supply here was practically inexhaus-
tible, could be secured at very small
cost, and could be sold as readily as
any other commercial product.

THEATRICAL.

A crowded house witnessed Ran.
dolph's Moving Picture show at the
Temple last night, and seemed to get
their moneys worth. The pictures
were very good, and variety of sub
jects we're treated, some of them very
pretty, some instructive, some anus
ing and some repulsively objection
able. In this connection it might be
we'll to suggest that the negro murder
of white woman, the burning at the
stake, etc, be eliminated, at least in
this section of theI country. 1t is a
shock to sensitive natures, and re-
pulsive in the extreme. The show
would be greatly improved if this film
was quietly burned along with the
negro. The other lynching scene
could also be dropped with profit to
the show. With the great variety to
select from it is Just little snfpf1sii
that such scenes will be depicted for
the ediicationf?) of refined au-
dience. 1t is promised that tonight an
entire change of program will be pre-
scented, and that no sensational fea-
lures will be shown. With these with
drawn, the show is we'll worth the
price. This show will be on again to-
night, tomorrow night, and a matinee
for school children at 4:15 Wednesday
afternoon. Admission 10 cents to all
school children.
