The South's Solid Basis.

Veteran observers of the market
have marveled at the manner in
which cotton has held its own, des-
pite the tremendous movement from
gin to spindle and the utter absence
of the bull speculation. 1t Is but
ten years since a crop Of ten million
drove the price to five cents for
Middling at the outports; now a
production indefinitely huge
brings double as much per pound
and there is an eager buyer for
every merchantable bale. This
astonishing result may be ascribed
to two cause.-the steady growth in
the world 5 requirements and the
South 5 ability to sell with intelli-
gence, instead of hoisting the auction
flag during the first four months of
the season. The effects of the
change have been truly magical.
The country banks are full of money,
lands have appreciated to almost an
incredible extent, churches and
schools and all other high interests
have been easy to sustain. The new
regime hardly seems real to men
and women who struggled through
the old one. The feeling is pretty
much that of the beggar who sud
denly finds himself a millionaire,
with all the world for his friend.
Nor Is there any reason to suppose
that this happy change is to be ep-
hemeral, for even now there is a
keen enquiry for new crops AT
the same high level of price and all
accounts agree that the trade in
cotton fabrics has seldom been so
buoyant.
As a matter of fact, the diversi-
tication of industry has reduced the
danger of overproduction to a mimi

works take the new hands that for

With the growth Of towns and cities,

The papers of Mississippi are rap
idly lining up for Williams. Only
a few papers whose editors are the
governors appointee to some posi-
ton of profit or honor are support
ing Vardaman. .-StarkVille Times.
And vice versa. many of the
papers that are opposing the Gov
ernor are those whose editors, or
whose editors, friends, have been
disappointed in this same matter of
appointment to positions of profit
and honor or the scrutiny of such
offices by the Governor. With that
class of journalists it is largely
owing to which foot the shoe is on.
This has been the case with our for
mer Executives and will continue to
be until the order of human nature is
reversed, Notwithstanding the lily
concealed effort to faunt opposition
in blazing terms for one reason
while really actuated by another
and sinister motive.

Announcement to Be Made Late
Today of Changes in coun-
sci For Harry Thaw.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, April 15-The question
6f counsel for Harry K. Thaw in
future is expected to be settled finally
today. Since the conclusion Of the
trial late last week there have been
all sorts of rumors. and 1t has come
to be very generally believed that Del
phin M. Delmas, who conducted the
trial, has definitely terminated his
connection with the case. B. R. Pea
body, who has called on Thaw every
day since he has been in the Tombs,
made his usual call on the prisoner
today. AS he was leaving the prison
he said that statement probably
will be given out late today announce
ing changes in counsel. The statement
will be prepared after a conference
between Thaw. his wife. Peabody and
Daniel O'Reilly.
Thaw today received handsome
cane made of layers of various kinds
of skins, highly polished and with a
silver handle mounted with pearl. It
was sent to the prisoner by F. r.
Moore, of Yuma. Ariz. The package
In which the cane was wrapped bore
an inscription reading:
I'VE all vote for acquittal. (Signed)

NATIONAL MINING
EXHIBITION BEGINS
Biggest Nugget Of Gold in E.xis-
tence among Curious Sights
That Are Presented

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, April ia score of pref
ty girls from the mining camps, towns
and ranches of Nevada, Utah, Colorado
and Wyoming are the most attractive
of the exhibits at the first national
mining exposition, which opened for
two weeks at the Grand Central pal
ace today. Some of the young women
are said to be practical miners and all
are pretty and attractive and calculat-
ed to breed increased respect for the
west among the visitors to the show.
Another feature of the exposition is
what the management terms "the
trail" consisting of group of twenty
two exhibits setting forth every detail
of the life of the miner and illustrating
his occupations and amusements. A.
midway has been provided, including
a characteristic border saloon, a gam
bling resort in full blast, typical gem
eral store and a western fandango or
dance hall.
The exhibits of developed and unde-
veloped ores are among the most COM
plete ever shown in this country and
include many private collections, the
results of the search and accumulation
OF many years. Samples of gold ore
running from $1,000 to $3.50, 1000 to the
ton are shown. Methods of reduction
are explained in detail and every vari-
ETY. of mining apparatus and machin-
cry used to gather the golden harvest
from the earth is interestingly demon
strated. A stamp mill is running at
full force in the center of the building
and is attracting much attention. At
one side of the building is a big plas-
tic relief map of North America, show
ing all known mining fields. A fully
equipped brokers' office, operating
with dummy orders, shows the process
of turning the ore into a commercial
product.
A novel feature is what is known as
the block exhibit, showing with piles
of real gold, silver and copper the
comparative increase in the output of
these metals in the last two years.
The masses of ore forming this exhibit
are of great value and are guarded
constantly by armed miners. What is
said to be the largest gold nugget in
the world is also on exhibition in the
main hall. Lectures will be given dur
ing the two weeks of the exposition on
matters pertaining to mining opera
tions, many we'll known experts hav-
ing volunteered for this service.

season of last fall and winter ended
he took his old run from Barnesville
to Devils Lake. Both the engineer
and fireman reside at Larimore. Mr..
Ferguson firmly believes that the rail
on the south side of the track had been
tampered with. He said he could not
get the idea out of his head that the
same thing had been done to the track
when the same flyer had been wrecked

Engineer Harry Comfort killed. He
says that when the rails spread the

with a misplaced OF broken rail, the

for the good of the party. there would
be general rejoicing in the senate.
The fact that other presidential
'booms' started by other candidates
or their friends have not made any
progress to speak of proves to my
mind that the president will receive
a call from the country and the con-
vention that he cannot ignore. Even
the Fairbanks boom, the Oldest and
the most carefully nursed, does not
seem to have made any headway since
a year ago this time. 1t shows that
the people are waiting to force the
president to run again If they can,
and when the people settle unani-
mously upon an idea they generally
carry the day. 1t may be or it may
not be infraction of the unwritten
third term law for the president to
accept the place again. To my mind
it would not even be violation of
this ancient bugbear for the president
has been elected in his own right
thus far but once"
