The Baptist ladies earned $l25 at the
Dollar Social al the home Of Mrs. J. S.
Runyan Saturday night. The attendance.
both in the afternoon and evening, was
large and all entered into the occasion
with determination to get their dollar 5
worth. The program was very interest
ing; some Of the personal experiences as
to how the S was earned were related
in verse and these were especially conf
cal and unique.
For the liberal patronage and the gen.
eral assistance rendered them by the pub
lie in making the event a success. the
ladies desire to heartily thank all who in
any way contributed time money or labor.

As to County Assessor

One Of the duties which will confront
the board Of county commissioners at their
meeting in January will be the appoint
ment Of county assessor who will have
general supervision Of the matter Of valu-
atoms in the county during the ensuing
year under the new tax law. If the ap-
pointee follows the law to the letter, he
will have his time well occupied and it is
a foregone conclusion that he will not add
to his popularity. People have been &C
customed to paying on valuation Of less
than fourth and the change to full val
uation, if really put into effect, will have a
disheartening effect.
There have been some FIVE or six men
proposed for the place but none of them
seem to be chasing the Office and the
chances are that the commissioners will
not find it easy to press a suitable man
into the service.
IF people could look at the proposition
properly, there is really nothing wrong
about assessing at full value, but if A pays
on a full valuation. B on half valuation
and c on third valuation, there is where
the trouble starts. The greatest hard
ship, if the law is tracked to the letter,
will be in debt ridden cities, where it is
possible to levy tax above current IN
terest rates.
But let us not cross the Stream before
we reach it; our citizens are capable Of
reasoning together and we have sufficient
faith in the taxing authorizes to believe
that every taxpayer will get square deal.

The Jim Crow" bill went through
the Oklahoma Legislature with no appre-
cable opposition. Five republicans vot-
ed with the democrats in its passage and
the few who voted against it now claim
they would have supported it had it not
been declared an emergency measure
but instead gwen its regular order on
the calendar. We think the people Of
Oklahoma have taken the proper posi-
hon. The real friend to both races IS the

DON'T WANT TO
 DIVIDE COUNTRY

For some time the question of liv iding Graham county has been the chief subject of conyersation in the valley towns and neighborhoods as well as in the hill +--vns and mining camps. The mater was brought to the attention of the voters by some talk that division would be considc-ed by the territorial legislature.
 To test the public pulse and de- termine i:st what the sentiment on the subject really way. says the Saf- ford Journal. a retition demonstrating against division was C-eCared and cir culated in Stafford with the startling and gratifying result that 270 taxpay- CTS and property owners signed it. Only four positively refused to sign while two withheld their signatures until they could further investigate the proposition. So Ccuch for public sentiment in that town. A gathering of interested people of the lower val ley was held and about 275 men were present. Not half a dozen expressed themselves as favorable to county division. The feeling at Solomon vile and other points is practically as unanimous against the proposition as 1t is at Stafford Thatcher and

Pima
 It is learned from authoritativr sources that there is also a strong sentiment in the east end of the county against division: Those work ing so industriously for division are only 2 few property owners in Clifton. The Hon. Henry Hill. it is said. Is one of the leaders in the movement. It Is believed by those in a position to know the truth about the matter. that they have very little chance to meet with success.
 A few people believe that in the event the divisionists fail in that scheme they will try county site re- moyal. But i'll this also. they are liable to meet failure with their plans for the reason that the superinteud- ent of the Detroit Clipper Mining company is against any scheme for interfering with coup-y seat matters. Other high officials of the same company are against the proposition. as is also the superintendent of the Arizona Copper company.
 A very large majority, of the taxnay- CTS of the county are 'fernipst" the proposition to make two-sixth class counties out of nne good county.

FATALITY HAS MARKED
 SILVER KING OWNERS
Five of the Six Former Owners of This Property Are
 Now Dead.

| Those who are inclined to be SUD sarstitions and who are familiar with the affairs of the old Silver King mine may imagine that there was pursu ing fatality in the deati of Dr. Chas H. Jones at Tempe yesterdsy morn. tng. says the Phoenix Republican. Mention was made last summer at the time of the death of J. P. WelIes, former chief clerk in the office of the United States marshal, of the i'll luck of those who had been connected in any way with the old mine.
 A great many years ago the prop erty came into the hands of Dr. W. w. Jones and two other men by the pro- cess of relocation. The ownership up to certain point had a promising outlook and then the apparent hand of fate was presented. One of the part ners was killed; one of them became insane, left the country and was never heard of again, and finally Dr. Jones died.
 Some four or five years ago Dr. Charles H. Jones. not related to Dri w. w. Jones, formed an association with MT. Welles and Captain George D. Christy, for another relocation of the mine. Preparations were being made by them for the operation of the property which was believed to be still of great value. but before the DreDarations had been completed Mir. W'elles suddenly sickaned and died.
 About that time the friends of Captain Chirsty and Dr. Jones jocu- larly warned them of the fatality at tending owners of the Silver King. A lew months later Captain Christv was seized with typhoid fever and for weeks his life was despaired of. There was hardly a hcne of his recovery. which, however, took place and he Is rapidly regaining his former strength.
 About a week ago Dr. Jones went to his bed with pneumonia. t
