The production of bullion cop
per at the reduction plant of the
Copper Queen at Bisbee for the
month of February broke the
record of production for the
southwest tor any one month
since copper has been mined.
Last month the production was
a record breaker, 100000
pounds being produced This
month much more copper has
been turned out and under hard
er conditions. Notwithstandi
the bad weather the plant was
run like clock work and the
streams of copper poured out of
the furnaces as never before in
the history of the plant. The
present rate of production will
be kept up, and as the new fur

ATrINfrrED ASSASSINATION.
A CoIored Woman of Dover Seriously
Wounded Last Saturday Night.
lNew Born Journal.)


A negro woman of Dover was shot
last Saturday NIGHT while sitting IN
her home. The would-be murderer
stood outside of the house and shot
through the window. So close was the
pistol held to the sash that the powder
burned the wood The ball, which was
of a SO caiibrc hit the back of the wo-
mans chair and made quite an in
denture then entered her body under
the left shoulder blade making a
dangerous but not necessary fatal
wound. The bali has not yet been
located Had the bullet not struck an
intervening object it would doubtless
have gone through the woman's body
and caused death at once.
A Colorcd man named Davis was ar
rested on suspicion of having commit
ted the crime and was given a pre-
llminary hearing before a magistrate
Davis proved an alibi to the satisfac-
ton of the court and the charge of
attempted murder was dropped but ne
was held under bond for carrying
concealed weapons as it is known he
owned the revolver. but equally well
known the firearm was either Dor
rowed or stolen. The name of the
man who actually did the shooting is
known but he escaped and his location
is as yet unknown. The reason given
for the shooting is that the woman is
said to have allowed gambling in her
house and the nan who shot her had
lost all his money there in a game.
She had a bad reputation in the COM
munity on that account but no dis
turbance of this nature had ever oc-
Cured there before.

TEXAS WILL REDUCE ACREAGE.
Tic Total Reduction in the Southern
States VIII be Twenty Per
Cent.
Monroe JournalN

NNAOlllOGt OOuIildl.J
Mr.. B. ID. Armstrong, assistant sec
retaly Southern Cotton Association,
spent last thursday in Monroe. being
here for the purpose of getting ac-
curate first hand information about
the cotton acreage. He was Just COM
plotting his tour of the South and had
been in every cotton growing State
except South Carolina. Mr.. Armstrong
saws that the total reduction in the
cotton belt will be in the neighborhood
of twenty per cent, the official figures
which he is now gathering being
necessary to determine it exactly. He
says tnat North Carolina is the most
poorly organized of all, and Mississippi
the best.
What of the reports that we hear
about Texas not reducing" the re-
porter asked. BLESS your life" was
the reply Texas is a safe proposition.
out there they are saying the same
about North Carolina. They even told
me in Texas that the North Caroliua
people were blowing up their gardens
and flower yards to plant cotton.
Texas, says Mr.. Armstrong, has nearly
100000 planters pledged to a % per
cent cut and the late season. coupled
with the early appearance of the boil
wcevil. is going to further discourage
heavy planting. In the old sections OF
Oklahoma and Indian Territory r%-
duction of 25 per cent. will be made
and this will probably offset the ii-
crease through the opening up of new
areas. In louisiana a 5 per cent
reduction is expected: in Arkansas
and Tennessee each rs Der cent. md
in Alabama Is to 20 per cent. Mis-,
sissj ppi is the best organized state ~
the South and full ~ per cent. cur
is expected there. Georgia and Ala.
ba ma are each expected to plant ono
fifth less than last year and Mr.. Arm
strong and Secretary Parker both
think that North Carolina will do as
well -
