holds that the annual appropriation OF

that any sum not so used will revert 10

Contracts to Sell Wool.

Pendleton-Kil Kenney, who resides
southwest of here, has contracted his
wool for this year to Zack Brown, the
hide dealer OF this city, receiving Is
cents pound for the clip. The wool
comes from the Sandy district, and, al
though the price seems small for this
years crop, it is an advance of 8 cents
over last year and is good figure.
Mr.. Kenney is one OF the few OF the
county who have contracted, as the
greater number of the sheepmen desire
to hold, believing that the price will ad-
vance even more than it has.

RICHER THAN FIRST REPORTED
Strike In Bohemia Mine improves on

Strike IN Bohemia Mine Improves on
Further Development.
Cottage Grove--The strike in the
Crystal Consolidated mine in Bohemia,
made over a month ago, OF six feet of
ore, partly free milling and partly base,
has greatly improved since then. The
drift has been extended some 25 feet
and the ledge now shows seven feet OF
solid ore. The ore is high grade. Tests
were made on the ore at the time of
the strike and assayed $54 per ton, car
rying copper, lead and zinc.
One Of the miners just arrived from
there reports that the ore is now much
better than II was given when the test
was made. The company is getting
everything ready to start its stampmill
as soon as the weather will permit,
probably April /. The object Of mill
ing this ore is to reduce it 10 concen-
trates, which will probably be to /,
and separate the copper, lead and zinc
on their concentrators. The concen-
trates will then be shipped to smelters
where that class OF mineral is treated.

A NORTHERN OUTRAGE.

AS the result of race war at Car
Isle, Ind, a negro church was dyna-
mited, and it is threatened that if any
arrests are made every negro in town
will be driven out. 1t is very proba-
BILE that they all would head for the
south, where they are sometimes
lynched for unnamable offenses, but
where they are allowed to work undis-
turbed, where their property rights
are respected, and where such thing
as the blowing up of their churches
would bring down upon the offenders
the general condemnation of the white
race of the south. Such lawlessness
as is reported in this instance is
greatly to be deplored.

PATRONIZE HOME PEOPLE.

1t is to your interest because it con-
tributes to your city and section, says
the Memphis Scimitar.
For the same reason patronize every
institution and contribute to the sue
cess of every influence that makes for
better conditions and more rapid
growth in your city and section.
From the same intelligent view of
ones real self-interest comes all man
ner of civic pride-the good to result
to ones self and section or country.
There is no difference between the
moral uplift to the people and their
material uplift. Each results in the
other, or contributes to the develop
ment of the other. The moral uplift
contributes to the material uDlift. The
material improvement contributes to
the moral Improvement.
The men who own the earth today
understand and practice this principle.
The men of the greatest success are
the men who understand this.

THE FARMER DOES 1T ALL.

Farmers coming in town report
BUSY times on the farms saving
fodder, of which there is fine
crop. Cotton is much improved
by the recent rains, though a very
light crop is counted on"
The farmer is the only royal per-
sonage in our republic. He is not
only independent himself, but he vir-
tually holds the destinies of all other
classes, trades and professions, truth
fully remarks an exchange. IF he
succeeds the country prOspers, peace
and plenty reign, men rejoice, the
wheels of commerce turn with strong
and steady action, the manufacturer
pushes his work with zeal and energy,
the mechanic plies his labors with a
zest that echoes with hope and faith in
every stroke from his sinewy arm.
The literary world feels the impulse
that comes from the well-flled barns
and rich harvest fields, and thrills
with the enthusiasm that awakes at the
sound of the farmers horn of plenty
and pours her richest treasures of
thought responsive to the welcome
notes of agricultural prosperity and
rural felicity. Everything tending to
a happy and prosperous, intelligent
and moral community has its birth
place or its impulse from the farm"
SO everybody is interested in the
success of the farmer. His avOcation
binds the world in a united brother
hood, and we naturally rejoice with
him over his prosperity or mourn with
him over his disaster.

COTTON CROP IN BAD SHAPE.
Report of Department Of Agriculture
Ready to Be Issued.

The state department of agriculture
has finished the work of preparing its
August crop report, and it will be
published in the next day or two. 1t
will contain carefully prepared state
ment as to the condition of all crops
in the state the latter part of this
month. The report will be made up
from reports received from LOCO cor
respondents.
The department at present declines to
make any statement as to the cOndi-
tons which they show, but it is stated
that the cotton crop generally is in
bad shape. The plant in many sec
tions of the state is looking finely, but
owing to the bad weather conditions
the fruitage is small, and the yield
per acre will be much less than last
year. In Terrell county conserva-
tive estimate is that the crop is off al
least One-third.
