POSSE PURSUES
 4 NEGRO BRUTE
White Woman Attacked While
 in the Field
GRIP LEFT NEAR SCENE
Victim Cannot Give Accurate Descrlp- tion of Her Assallant-The Negro Will Be Quickly Strung
 Up If Caught.

carrollton, August 27. - Special - Word was received here at noon today of a criminal assault having been attempted on Mrs. D. Winborn at her home, seven miles west of here, by an unknown ne- gro. Whether or not the brute was suo- cessful in his attempt could not be as- eertained, but all information leads to the belief that he was.
 It seems that Mrs. Winborn was pick ing some peas for dinner In patch some distance from the house, which Is pretty well surrounded by heavy timber. The men were working in a field in the oppo- site direction. The time and place were well chosen, for there was no way for her to get assistance
 The first she knew of the negro's pres ence was when he grabbed her by the throat and had pistol close to her face She was choked into insensibility and carried to the woods few yards away
 The victim can give no accurate de- scription of her assailant but he IS be- lieved to be & man who passed through Carrollton this morning, going in the direction of the Winborn home. The grip he carried answers the description of the one found where the woman was attacked.
 A well organized and determined set of men Is in pursuit of the negro, and the general feeling is that he will be sun marily dealt with If captured.

 eide with the new definitions of in solvency in fact The committee fur ther recommends an amendment to the statute so that it may provide that the affidavit to a petition in involuntary bankruptcy may be made by petition ing creditors or by theIr agents or at torney.
 Uniformity Needed.
 In consideration of the great impor- tance of uniformity in the law of sales and the law of wareh ouse receipts, the committee recommends the approval by the association of both the Uniform Sales Act and the Uniform Warehouse Receipts Act. and that a special com mlttee or special committees of the as- sociation be appointed to secure their passage by the legislature of those states which have not already. adopted them. including thei radoption by Con gress for the District of Columbia. Tie committee suggests, however that the bill concerning warehouse receipts might be improved in one particular that is, by making 1t more definitely protect the rights of the transferee of a finder of warehouse receipt, and that the attention of the commissioner on uniform state laws should be called to this matter. As now drafted the transferee of fraudulent holder Is definitely protected. but protection Is not extended to the transferee of find CT, and there is thus possible diminu- ton of negotiability resulting in tn ( necessity of proving by @ holder that he is entitled to hold the receipt. The committee does not intend this sugges- ton to be limitation of approval of the bill in question, but recommends the endorsement of both laws in their entirety.

A RECORD BREAKER

In the good old days, the days of '49, teams of oxen passed through this country and hard usage caused them to be pretty tough. Things are changed now and the good citizens of Globe do not have to eat bull beef of the age of score of years or more. To cite an illustration of the veracity of this statement it may be stated that the Pioneer Market today slaughtered a two. year-old steer weighing no less than 915 pounds. The animal was record breaker for the town, so far as size and other general qualifications in the way of beef are concerned.
 This steer was one of bunch of sew eral hundred that the Pioneer Market has had on pasture and fed on alfalfa for the past four months at Stafford. Aside from this particular quadruped, there are many more to be slaughtered for the local trade of this market and those who enjoy good juicy roast or fine beefsteak will do well to call at the Pioneer.

PRESIDENT WAS rNou1srrrvE
Tried to Solve the Vital Yam Question
 in the Canal Zone

The president of the United States questioning black West Indian laborer was as polite as he was to a division engineer, but equally as insistent with his "But what l want to know is-o (There are some men on the isthmus, l think, who will hear this expression in their dreams). To the problem of years he turned with the same concen- traitor that he would to making peace between Russia and Japan, or the tax ation of great fortunes. And yams are really great problem. Even as by dint of oatmeal the Scotch cultivated literature, so by dint of yams our isth milan laborer builds tracks and dumps the ears and digs locomotives out of the mud. It is the rice of the Jamaican s Orient, the black bread of his Russia the potato of his Ireland.
 When one of the negroes that gath cred around the president complained that he could not get good yams from the eommissary, the man from Caak g Gone of them representing the commis- sary) explained that when they were bad the purchaser need not take them. The negro insisted that the clerk at the eommissary who threw them at him gave him no option.
 We will go to the cOmmissary and see the vans, said the president
 Those in stock had some spots, but when opened, the meat was good. The Jamaican clerk insisted that yams found bad might be returned.
 Have you ever tried to return the bad onesi' the president asked the ne- gro.
 No, sir,' was the answer.
 "Why pot9" the president pursued.
 "I would not stoop to do such thing, was the florid and dignifed ul- timatum.
 Everybody laughed except the presi- dent. This foolish response did not finish the subject for him. He went into it again the next day at the commissary at Colon. Now he had the complaint that the yams were insufficient in quan- '''s "n" aho' 'Hc Nonimiosdiy cudtStu a higher price than the Chinese dealers. There were many explanations and still he stuck to his point that what he want ed to know was why the United States could not sell yams as cheap as the Chi nese dealers. There were observers of the presidential method of questioning who remarked that the head of nation who would go so through the problem of yams might sift any other subject to the bottom. So all government em- ployees please make note.-Collier s Weekly.

Our Mineral Wealth

Ten years ago our yearly Production of coal was 17o,o0o,00o topS and we thought it heap, Last year we mined 400,000,0O0 tons. In 1896 we produced s,60O,000 tons of pig iron. Last year we produced 25,000,000 tons. Our copper output of ten years ago was $240, 100000 pounds. It is now 9oo,0O0,00O pounds. In 1896 we dragged from the bowels of the earth minerals and mineral sub stances worth about $625, 100000. The value of our mineral product in 1906 approximates $2,000,o00,000. These fig ures are bewildering in their immensity. It is no wonder that we are the richest nation on earth. Yet in spite of it all there is something left to hope for, and there may be something left to fear New York Sun.
