 scandalous exposures as to the
 meth ods employed by Heinze and
 his associate promoters, no enc could be expected to trust them or to trust the banks which they had been manipulating.
 If Heinze and his crowd had not been permitted to buy and sell cop per on margins the disaster that finally overcame them would not have occurred. If they had been compelled to pay the full value of every share of stock they bought, or if they had been compelled to exact the full purchase price of every share of stock they sold. there could have been no such compllcat ons as those in which they became entangled, and in- which hundreds of thousands of in- nocent holders of stock in copper mines throuohout the country have been involved. If it had not been for the collapse of the copper r'ne the knickerbocker Trust company would not have been compelled to close it's doors and the panic on the stock exchange would not have occurred. MT. Ridsely, comp. troller of the currency, was offered a princely salary to take charge of one of those banks, but declined instantly when he discovered the condition of the institution and the character of the men who con- trolled it. Every enc cf them had to resign their connection with the bank at the order of the clearing house committee, which, barely managed to save it from total wreck. And yet the president is held responsible for the troubles of that bank and all the conse- quences of the fantastic financial adventures and spaculatons oe

Library Board Reelected.

The annual meeting of the Hut tig Library Association was held at the Library on Monday evening. The matter of changing the con- stitution and bylaws of the asso- citation so that every adult resident of Huttig would be entitled to a voice in the annual meeting was discussed and those articles amend ed to that effect. The old consti- tuition and bylaws required a per- son to be a member of the associ- ation but as enough interest was not manifested to keep up the ex- penses of the library it was thrown open to all free and has been supported by popular sub scription for the past year.
 The old board composed of w. H. Wheeler, president; Mrs. A. W. Corkins, vice. president; Miss Mid gie Newby, treasurer; c. A. Berry, secretary; and Mrs. c. T. Thomp- son and Rev. John Brereton were re elected to serve for the coming year.
 It was gr tifying to the members of tie beard to learn that enough season tickets have been sold to meet the expenses of the Lyceum Course to be given here this winter and they expect to derive a con- siderable revenue for the library fund from the sale of single tick cts during the winter to be applied in the purchase of new books.
 The first attraction of the course will appear at Union church on next Friday evening, November Is. It is the Castle Rhine Concert Com pany and comes highly recommend ed. Admission will be z5 cents for adults and so for children under 16 years of age. If you desire to pass pleasant evening be sure to attend as the money goes for a worthy cause.

A SLICK GaMRifnS PANIC.

William E. Curtis Explains the Cause of Re-
 cent Financial Panic.

It would do the entire country q vast amount of good if all it's citi- zens who do not already know the truth underlying the financial fur ry which is passing over the count ry, would pause and read the fol- lowing paragraphs from the pen of William E. Curtis, the veteran correspondent of the Chicago Re- cord-Herald. sent to his paper from New York. Mir. Curtis says:
 The trouble on Wall street dur ing the past week would never have occurred if speculation on margins were not possible. It was entirely a gamblers furry. and the crisis was caused by gamblers whose confidence in the prices of the stocks they held was shaken by the collapse of the copper con- spiracy and the utterances of the president and who proceeded to get rid of them at the best prices possible This lack of confidence was communicated to the innocent public The gamblers went around with lorg faces and espondent ut terances and predicted the ruin of the world. Without thinki~ g of Heinze and his crowd they denoun- ed the president for destroying the private credit of the country and for disturbing confidence when he did nothing more than declare that dishonest men should be punishsd rich, as well as poor.
 The earning capacity of no es- tablishment in the United States was affected; the dividends of no corporation were reduced; there was no cessation of busiress in any line of activity throughout the en- tire country except the yellew pine lumber business. and while the gam blers were forcing down stocks on Wall street, the prices of wheat and corn and other agricultural products were soaring to almost unprecedented figures. The runs on the banks in New York were due directly to the lamentations of the gamblers who frightened hon. est depositors and sent them to draw out 4heis deposits. Afte, the

 Feet Between Now and First If ianuary.,

MT. c. B. Sweet, vice-president md genersl manager of the Long Bell Lumber Company. was visi- tor in Alexandria yesterday.
 As an official of one of the largest lumber manufacturing concerns in this country, it might be interest ing to know what views MT. Sweet entertains on the present financial depression and what course his company and it's alliances, will pur- sue so far as the lumber business is concerned.
 In conversation with a reporter of the Town Talk MT. Sweet ex- pressed himself about as follows.
 Viewing the condition of the country from a lumber manufact- urer's standpoint, the prospects while not discouraging are not al-  together f1attering. While we have more than a normal stock of lum- Der on hand and the prices of labor, supplies and all material entering into cost of manufacture is at it's highest point, causing excessive costs to produce, we are having some difficulty in marketing our present output at a satisfactory price. This being true, We cannot afford to Tile up this additional highpriced material in excess of a normal stock without prospect of gain greater than is promised under conditions such as present themselves today.
 Were it not for keeping oul organizations together, and our men employed, we would close down all our plants until after January lst. During the presen

 least six weeks, thus losing from it's average output something like 5,OOO,OOO feet. Recently the mill has been operating day and night, but, commencing with No- vember lst. we will discontinue all night operations. At the plant of the Globe Lumber Company, Limit ed, Yellow Pine, Louisiana, we will close that mill down November st for repairs, which will probably take six weeks or until the middle Of December, resulting in a reduct- ion of their annual output of about 6,5O0,OoO feet. At our Lake Charles plants we have been down nearly three months, resulting in a reduction of our annual output at that point of 100000 feet.
 The elimination of night operat- ing at the plant of the Hudson Riv- CT Lumber Company will result in a loss between now and the first of the year of about8 100000 feet these various items approximating something over 5O,OOO,OOO feet
 Even with this reduction, we still have on our yards more than a normal stock. We are having diff culty in procuring a market for our present stock at a price that will justify our operating more time than is absolutely necessary to keep our organizations together.
 We believe that the trees stand ing in our woods promise a gain for future manufacture which we cannot hope to get out of logs manufactured into lumber at pres ent prices and under present con- ditions.
 It will be our purpose, then, commencing with November lst, to close down the night operating of the Hudson River Lumber Com pany, at DeRidder; to close down November lst, one plant of the Calcasieu Long Leaf Lumber Com pany. at Lake Charles: and to close cown the plant of the Globe Lum- Der Company, Limited, at Yellow Pine, for at least six weeks.

born Feb. s. 1868, was married to r..
@. Ponder Nov. 2, 1888; died Aug.
10, 1907.
She leaves husband and seven
children, two brothers and six sisters,
and host Of friends and relatives to
wait the resurrection morning where
we all shall meet again. Again our
community is -shadowed with
sorrow; sadness fill our hearts. There
is vacancy in our midst and in that
family none can replace. Another
one OF earth's flowers has been trans
planted to the garden Of heaven.
After loving hands of husband and
friends had done all that mortals are
able to do, the sweet spirit took its
flight from this world of care to enjoy
the happiness of her Savior's smiling
face. Our loss is heavens gain.
We realize that it is the work Of the
Master who doeth all things we'll.
Her kindness can never smooth life'a
pathway for her children, but the
influence she leaves behind her will
live forever. "A FRIEND.

Take Your Choice.

The result of the election as re-
CARDS the senatorial contest is natural
ly very gratifying to Mr.. Williams
and ourself. It would have been
caused for much livelier congratu
lation had the majority been larger
there was ample room for it-but as
it is we have decided to let the other
side have what little ray Of comfort
is to be derived from the fact of a
small instead OF large majority for
Williams. When Governor Varda-
man states that he is still the choice
of majority Of the white democrats
of Mississippi it shows that he is
dying hard and that he hasn't for
gotten how to say little mean, petty
things.
A man who can't carry his own
county, nor yet his own town, has no
right to say that he choice of the
people. And yet this is what the
mnch-vaunted white Chieftain' %
utterly and miserably failed to do.
His own dear county Of Leaore went
against him and his native town Of
Greenwood gave him the black eye,
while on the other hand, Williams
carried his own county of Yazoo by q
majority of over 1000. Fellow citi-
zens of Lawrence county, paid-up-
subscribers, dearly delinquent, and
alive put the question to you:
Which of the two had you rather pin
your faith to, man who is endorsed
by his own people or . man who is
repudiated by his own people p?
