No Hope of Recovering.

After these few words Souder lapsed
into a state Of semi-COma. and IL is fear
ed he may not again regain conscious
ness. He is at the home OF the Rev.
Mr.. Pence. where he was driven by his
aged grandmother after the negro had
threatened to murder her. Two physi-
cians-Drs. z. c. and c. ". Etchinson.
OF Gaithersburg-are IN constant attend
ance. but practically no hope is held
out for the young mans recovery. He
has one chance IN twenty" the doc
tors say.
The negro IS stnl at large. Posses of
Redland have been securing the sur
rounding country since Wednesday
night. Several colored men have been
taken into custody by the county ON
cials. but were soon released, as they
showed they were in no way connected
with the assaults.

nNE VIEW 0F IMMIGRATION
 BY \ SENSIBLE SOUTHERN EDITOR
The Large Cites Contain So Much of Objectionable Foreign Population That They Are Hotbeds of Crime and Foes Against American Institutions Country People Saving Grace and Power of the Nation.

our great cities are addings many tens of thousands a year to their in- habitants, as if it were not already grave problem how to arrest the growth of these huge centers of pop ulation, and divert industries to small- CT places"
 These are the views of scholar, a student, profound thinker. As cit ies increase in size-large cities poverty and misery and hunger and crime and degradation also increase. Witness London, where thousands of men, women and children daily go hungry and hope is forever shut out of their lives. Behold New York with its growing wealth, it's increas- ing palaces, it's multiplying popula- tion, it's million foreigners, it's in- creasing crime in the most brutal and revolting forms, it's poverty and its misery. The police confess their in- ability to suppress the increasing crime and the growing criminal class es What if there should be a bread riot or some such occurrence, what could the police do? It is easy to bring on a riot in such city. Sup pose a mob of million should gather 1 in New York's streets. The only pro- lection that could be afforded to pro- perty and the lives of the law-abiding would be the trained soldiers and ma chine guns of Governors Island. Sttt off New York's food supply for three days and there would be famine and wholesale lawlessness, robbery and murder.
 An ordinary citizen is mere worm in New York. He is crowded, jostled, ordered, showed along, and remon- strance would land him in jail. If he attempted to be polite to men he would be rebuffed-if to women, he would be arrested. If he were to eX- pire on the street he would, unless promptly identified, be buried in the Potter's field. Only his own family would miss him. Only in a narrow, limited way can he know real friend
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-09-08

We constantly clamOr for more inn migration and larger population. We encourage large families, urge homeseekers to come among us, and boast of the growth of our cities. We seek to boom and boost and grow, to increase our wealth, which means also to increase poverty, and to run the census list as high as possible. We call this enterprise and progress, and it is, in the sense in which we must interpret it if we would encour- age the spirit which keeps step to the march of advancement. But af- ter all, is it the progress which pro- notes happiness and encourages peace and that contentment which is the philosophy of living? Does hu- man happiness increase in as great a ratio as human misery with the in- crease of population and it's conges- tion? In the onward march we gain some desirable things, but we lose some that are also desirable and that will return no more.
 Great changes, sociological and otherwise, are being rapidly wrought in this country, and there are brewing problems that will tax and vex us. James Bryce, in August Atlantic, writes:
 The notion that population is per SC a benefit and mark of progress seems to be largely survival from the ages when each tribe or city need ed all the arms it could maintain, to wield sword or spear against it's ene- mics. As arrows in the hands or a giant, even so are the young children, says the Psalmist; and when men were needed to fight against Hittites and Hivites, this was a natural reflec- tion It may also be partly due to an minimizing association between growth and prosperity, created by the fact that the establishment of new industries in a community usu- ally brings wealth as we'll as popula- ton. There are people needless en- ough to be pleased at hearing that
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-09-08

ship, pleasant association, neighborl1- ness and sympathy. The average Cit izen in New York is a mere atom, a nobody.
 Crowded cities, congested popula- tion, mean high prices for food and poor living for large per cent of the people. The mind is absorbed day by day in the problem of living or get ting rich, and study and thought and repose and culture are ignored. Knowledge is superficial and limited to the horizon. Speed, haste, artiflc- ialism, superficialism characterize most men and women, and children have a dangerous knowledge of sin and immortality. The helping hand vanishes before the selfish and there are old faces on young bodies The rich homes are open only to fashion able functions, and there is none of that true neighborliness and genuine hospitality that are essential features of the true refnements and civilities of life.
 The larger cities present darker side. The thief, the thug, the mur- derer, the assassin, the butcher of women and slayer of little girls, the anarchist, the Black Hand, the Mafia, the vendetta and all the organized forces of disorder and enemies of law find haven in the hideous piles of brick and mortar that cover acres and acres of ground. It is there that the enemies of freedom and government breed, and it is from such hotbeds of crime and disorder that foes against American institutions will rise-to be put down by the man who lives in the wholesome air and freedom of the farm and village and smaller cities the saving grace and power of the nation.
 The South has no large cities. But she has more pure Americans, more true patriotism, less of the undesir- able foreign element, less of the spir- it of disorder and anarchy than any other section, and she is the hope of the nation. We want to see the South grow and prosper, but we don't want to see any New Works, Pittsburgs or Chicagos in Dixie. If that be treas on make the most of it.

Many attempts have been made to
determine the amount of salt de-

have been mere guesses. The ground
over the entire area is completely
covered with coarse salt of an ex-
cellent quality, varying from one inch
to several feet in depth. A repre-

The body of man found on an

to be that of the fellow who shot up
I this city on the night of April "a.
The body was in much better con-

1 his gun on the night of the shooting
1t was also discovered that a bull
let had entered his stomach and his
head showed many scars.
on the night of April 24th this
fellow who gave the name of Il. j..
Golding" shot hobo in the railroad
yards in this city, but the fellow has
practically recovered from the wound
After Golding had shot this man he
went to the island in the Grand river

Here he entered the home of Fred

was not successful. Fred took a gun.
a forty-five calibre. away from him
and gave him a few raps over the
head He downed him but the fel-
low had too much endurance and
after considerable scuffling, Fred
broke loose and ran out of the door
and the fellow followed him.
BY this tome the officers were
on the scene and they began shoot
ing at him, and from the bullet
wound in the stomach, it is a settled
fact that one of them hit him. The
fellow ran towards the Roaring Fork
river, which flows into the Grand
river near Kenney's home. and that
was the last seen of him until the
body was found yesterday at Rife.
The next morning after the shoot
| ing officers found number of spots
of blood along the path he followed
to the river and they felt positive
he had met a watery grave.
"Golding" was first heard of at
Red Cliff. where he was posing as a
bad man. { He carried a machinist's
card and il is believed ne had stolen
it from some member of the machin-
lists organization.
His arm bore tattoo marks which
were described as being hands clasp
