provided with diamond points, produc- ca surprising results, cutting into thin
 slices the hardest of materials. On
 the banks of the Sac Jose we find the traces of the first exploitation of the
 mines by the natives, the Garimperos,
 The black diamond, however, having no commercial value, did not attract these people. and they were apparently igno- rant of the real character of the min- eral From the report of an engineer
 who explored the region in 1858 we learn that one day the diamond diggers
 discovered black stone in Sac Jose. They took the stone to one of their huts and sought to discover it's nature by attempting to crack it. All their ef- forts were fruitless the stones resist ing the most powerful hammers, and after time it was thrown back into the river. The stone weighed about 10000 carats, and at the present price l of $40 carat represents @ loss of $400,- 900.
 The exploitation of the Brazilian dia-
 unnecessary to say, was not scientific. The ereviees of the rocks are explored
 with the hand, the gravel being taken
 away in little barrels, which are carried lessen the time of the work by diving for the mineral, but the violence of the stream is such during the rainy season that this plan has been but little adopt
 duce results and the one which will
 shortly be put in operation is that of draining. Dams will be erected 300 feet apart and centrifugal pumps will be
 installed tor the purpose of drawing
 off the water. The results of the work cannot be a question of doubt. judging from the past performances of these diamond mines.
 The question naturally arises. Why
 have the diamonds been found in the Sac Jose? The answer to this is not difficult. and is given when we state
 that the original rock--which formerly occupied the high plateau-has been
 the rock being carried by rains into the Sac Jose. Because of their destiny the black and white diamonds were concealed under the sand. together with them and which are the indications of the precious stones Thus, in the course of years, these beds have been formed. beds the richness of which is incalcuiable.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL Is, 1905.
THE SOUTH LOST A FRIEND.

Last Saturday was the fortieth an- niversary of the death of Abraham Lincoln, and the remembrance of 1t brings up the usual speculative ques- ton as to what might have been had not the fatal shot been fired and he remained in office to the end of his term. It is all speculation, of -4 course, for as no man can foretell the future, so no man can tell what would have been the result if certain things had been differently ordered in the past
 We of the South changed our opin- ion of MT. Lincoln very much after his death. It may be that the results following his death had much to do with the change. as we'll as the grad nal recession of the feelings of bitter ness caused by the war itself, for af- ter the war was ended the people of this section were better able to judge him dispassionately and without hos tility.
 That Lincoln was an abolitionist and' as such, was an enemy to slavery Is true enough. That he was largely responsible for emancipation, with all it's attendant evils, is also true but it is only justice to say that in our Judgment the evils of reconstruo- ton would have been infinitely less. if they had not been entirely avoided 1T he had not been assassinated just when he was. His devotion to the union was intense, and he was pre- pared to sacrifice almost everything to preserve the Union, but when that object was accomplished he was done He had no place in his big heart for enmity, and when the Southern peo- pie laid down their arms he was ready to be their friend, and was pre- pared to prove 1t. The people of the North loved him and trusted him and the people and the Congress would have followed his lead in dealing with the people and the problems of the South. That the reconstruction of nave been lnnnlIelY better than the reconstruction of Thad Stevens actually was we think no intelligent person can reasonably doubt.
 And so. while we cannot declare in positive language that certain events would or would not have taken . place if his life had been spared, we may reason from cause to effect in this instance with almost a certainty that we are correct when we say that his death was a real misfortune to the South, for it literally turned our sec ton and our people over to the mercy of the wolves who would have been suppressed if he had lived. Our people did not foresee, at the time of his death, that they had lost friend, but if we judge from known events that swiftly followed we may admit 1t now, so much is due justice to him.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-04-19

The Chicago Journal is considerable enthused over the fact that Governor La Toilette, of Wisconsin, has signed the anti-cigarette law recently en- acted by the Legislature of that State, to become effective on July l, and that after that date it will be a misde- meanor punishable by heavy fines and imprisonment in that State to sell cigarettes. or even to give them away" Like The Journal we shall watch the operations of this law and see if 1t will stamp out the evils of cigarette smoking, and we agree with that paper that If it can be done in Wisconsin 1t can be done any where" When 1t Is done in one State it may be done in others, but when will that be?
