In the wh2Ie history of mining in
America-and there are many black

been anything to equal the corrup-

has tied up property valued AT
nearly half billion dollars. At
one time the feud caused the sev-
eral mines involved to be shut
down and $4,000 workmen were
thrown out of employment with
out any other means of gaining
livelihood. 1t has resulted in the
open vilification of the owners.

The young engineer, who was By this
time a millionaire, was accused OF
having pushed his levels outside of
his own property into the adjoining
mines of the Boston and Montana
Company.
The controversy between these two
factions was carried on by multitu-

ATLANTA, Sept. 24.--The body OF
Zeb Long, a negro, was found early
today hanging in the woods near East
Point, suburb eight miles south OF
Atlanta. Long was locked up in the
East Point jail charged with disorderly
conduct. The Jail was broken into al
ter midnight and Long was taken out.

Long was suspected Of any connection
with any of the recent assaults on
white women.
The situation at 3 o'clock this after
noon was quiet. There is no apprehen-
sion of trouble tonight, but every pre-
caution has been taken to guard against
repetition of the rioting. A cold

winds, has commenced to fall and will

ing TO locality, although everywhere
J he has been received with great respect
and manifestations OF affection. In
some sections the outpourings and
manner of greetings have recalled the
Bryan adulation of 1896, while in 9th.
er places the demonstrations have been
only formally enthusiastic.
The contest already on in Virginia
between Bryan Enthusiasts and Bryan
Conservatives is OF vital interest. Sen.
ator Daniel Of Virginia was the first
Democrat of national prominence to ex-
press disapproyal of Mr.. Bryan's gov
ernment ownership doctrine. There
was nothing surprising in this. 0ppo
sition to the idea was natural 10 him,
and it was a matter OF course that no
fear OF personal consequences would 81
lence him. Therefore. Senator Daniel
spoke and the opportunity was instant
ly seized by his opponents. State Sem
ator Thomas of Lynchburg, who OPP
posed the reelection of Major Daniel
to the United States Senate, il out
with declaration for government own
ership and has issued rallying-cry
to all Virginia Democrats Of a like way
of thinking.
In the Old Dominion, therefore, is to
be fought the first battle in which the
Bryan Paramount" is the issue; and
Vmgirka's sister states viii look on
with bated breath. 1t is not at all
hard to believe that Virginia's verdict
on government ownership may be made
the verdict OF the national Democracy,
and that thereby Virginia may again
take her place as a leader in Demo-
cratic thought. Should virginia's voice
be for government ownership, it is not
improbable that other Southern states
would follow her lead, and with the
South committed to the doctrine moth
ing could prevent its being written into
the next national Democratic platform.
1t is true that the South's men Of
national prominence, SO far as heard
from, have been almost unanimous in
condemning Mr.. Bryan's new idea, and
the Southern press is generally against
it. But in the South, as nowhere else,
does the Democratic rank and file have
the opportunity to make its opinions
felt, and it is just possible that neith'
er leaders nor press speak authorita-
lively for the people. In the West, it
is reported, sentiment is strohg for
government ownership and the results
of the New York primaries indicate
that the Empire State is ready to ae-
cept Bryan's most radical views. Con-
servatiyes have been looking to the
South to save the Democratic party
from extreme radicalism. That there
is sufficient government ownership SEN
timent in Virginia to warrant a we'll
informed politician making it an IS
sue in a contest against go strong a
man as Senator Daniel comes as dis
tinct surprise, and the opinion is now
frequently heard that Mr.. Bryan's task
of converting the Democratic party may
not be SO gigantic as had been be-
lieyed.
