Vote. e.Buyingi

Capt. F.C. Robbins, one oil
the best and wlsest men in
Davidson county, published
n strong letter in last weeks
Davidson Dispatch deploring
the pprnrious practice ol
vote buying and selling,
which we rege! to say, has
for years prevailed to an
alarming extent in this coun
ty and which appe ars to he
growing all the time. We
must make a vuotation from
the excellent letter, which
ought to be read by voter in
ths State: Candidate and
truthful men will, however.
admit that, while the excuses
Tor this practice no longer
exist, the evil itself grows
and grows, and continues to
grow until 1t threa tens to
make eleclions~a a mockery
and'a farce, but its vicious
influence Is attacking the
moral fiber of the community
insidiously creeping into the
jury box and fast reducing
GUS society to a condition
when it viii. have to oapologize
for its own existence y These
be strong words but.they are
none too strong, but it il u
good time now at the begin
ming ofthe ca mpaign to wage
a warm warfare against this
prostitution OF the sacred
right OF suffrage. We are
building good schools in
Davidson, but how are veto
teach our boys to love the
right and grow mp to be men
oi honor with this running
sore upon our polite? Good
men in both parties ought to-
stand shoulder to shoulder
in this matter and crush the
rvilspirit that would debauch
the ballot and demora!lzs
society. Far better that Il
candidate should go down in
honorable defeat than that
he should secure his election
ut the price OF his own man
hood and that OF others. We
desire to give the sentiment
contained in this lettec our
hearty endorsement, and we
hope that it will strike a re-
sponsiye chord in the hearts
Of enough men in Davidson
county to create a sentiment
that will drive out the money
changes from the temple OF
our liberty and make it 80
hot that no man will dare
spend a dollar in buying up
the cattle who are miscalled
men; and not only in Da vid-

Secretary Metcalf Enforces
Law in Case of Steerage
Passengers From Japan
FINES ARE IMPOSED

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-Secretary
Metcalf of the Department. OF Com
merce and Labor in an opinion rem
dered today decided adversely the ap-
peal of the master of the British ship
OanTa for remission of penalties i'm
posed for violating the law with re-
spect to the separation Of the sexes
The Oanfa arrived at Port Town
send, Wash, from Yokohama on Au-
gust Z, having on board seventy-four
Japanese male and fourteen Japanese
female passengers eight years of age
and over. All of these steerage pas
sengers were carried in the same COM
partment- The agents of the vessel
maintained that Oriental steerage pas
sengers, ever since their transporta-
tion has been conducted on modern
vessels have been carried without OBJ
serving the distinction Of sexes and il
was submitted that the methods and
customs of Orientals could not have
been in mind when Congress enacted
the law of 1882 on the subject
The Secretary, however. held that
the law on the subject was explicit
and declined to remit the fine imposed
OF IS for each steerage passenger
brought to these shores. Secretary Net
calf declared today that masters OF
vessels violating the act OF 1882 pro-
viding for the segregation OF steerage
passengers would be dealt with ac-
cordingly and that in no case would
he remit penalties imposed for such
violations.

DRY PLACER BusTL1NG.

ROUND MOUNTAIN, Oct. 4.-The
Wilson dry placer lease on the Sunny
side group is scene of hustle and in
dustry from dawn till dark. and the
fact that the owner is reaching out for
every man that comes into camp in an
effort to get him TO work on the lease
is a good indication that the state
ments of the amount he is cleaning up
daily are not overdrawn. Wilson has
two dry washing machines at work and
twenty men working in two shifts.
For sixteen hours a day the machines
are not idle for moment, and the men
work with feverish haste under the di-
rectfon of Wilson himself. 1t is estf-
mated that he will clean up $50, 900
If he can keep up his present progress

Denver Jurist Says Editors May Pub

the Chances

DENVER, Oct THAT a newspaper
cannot be restrained by courts OF
equity from publishing matter alleged
to be libelous was the gist of a decision
handed down by Judge John l. Null
Inns of the Denver District Court today
when he dissolved the temporary re-
straining order issued by him two
weeks ago against the Daily Mining
Record of this city at the instance OF
G. G. Rice, a Goldfeld. New, mining
promoter.
If Hbelous matter Is published In a
newspaper the only recourse OF the per-
son or institution claiming to be dam
aged lies in an action for damages at
law, rules Judge Mullins, who stated
that according to his Interpretation OF
the statutes no publisher could be en-
joined from printing whatever he saw
fit as long as he could respond to any
suit for damages.

News of Nevada Mines.

TONOPA1, Oct. TT is announced
at the Office of Malcolm Macdonald
that Charles NJ Schwab will arrive
here, accompanied by Donald B. Gill
lies, about October 20. The first mat
ter to claim his attention will be the
big mill that is to be erected at the
Montgomery Shoshone mine at Bull
frog. When this has been disposed of
the plant for the Tonopah Extension
mine of this camp will be taken up,
and it is hoped by local officials OF
the company that the contract will be
let for the machinery some time this
month A milling plant at the Exten-
sion will undoubtedly prove a paying
investment
On the big ore dumps piles of rock
have accumulated in the years the
mine has been operated that will yield
splendid milling values. An idea OF
the class of rock that composes these
big dumps can be gathered from the
fact that several leases have been let
TO sort the ore on the dumps, and the
lessees have succeeded IN making snug
little sums by picking out the high
grade rock that is mixed with the
lower class stuff and shipping this.
Aside from this there are vast bodies
of milling ore blocked out in various
parts Of the big mine that are covering
up htgh-grade ore. With these out
of the way 1t is probable that the
shipping returns from the mine will
be largely increased.
Schwab is also said to control the
Death Valley and Greenwater Copper
Company at Greenwater, Inyo County,
Cal. This is the property of which it
is rumored that a merger is being
formed with the Clark interests in the
same section. In view of this 1t is
more than probable that Mr.. Schwab
will go to the wonderful southern cop
per camp and that new activity in that
already bustling section will follow his
visit.
