CIVILIZATION" II GEORGIA.
Macon Telegraph J

The New York Evening Post re-
| ferring to a recent lynching at Tifton
in this State, says that the crime al
/. the negro-''m making an insulting re-
mark TO a white girI"-was s.in civil
lied communities an offence that mer-
its a SIS fine at ost.
The Telegraph is not and never has
been an apologist much less an adj
vocate, of lynchings believing that law
and order should prevail and that ade-
quate punishment of both the actual
and would-be rapist can be obtained
through the courts But we feel
nothing better than contempt for the
New York Evening Posts notion of
what is civilized" in this connection.
We are free to say that we regard
even the civilization represented bv
the lyncher as more manly and genu-
inc than that of a milk-veined public
which is satisfied to fine a nergo IS
at most for grossly insulting a white
woman.
In the. course of the same article
which takes a Southern editor to task
for complaining that some of the cam
pa1gn utterances of the Republicans
tend to encourage crimes of this sort
among the negroes, the Evening Post
says: If Mr.. Taft could carry Geor-
gia, the effects would be far-reaching:
it would be the beginning of another
American emancipation. .
Presumably the Evening Post
means that if Mr. Taft could only
carry Georgia negroes could insult
white women and escape with a mere
fine of S., and thus another Amerf-
can emancipation would begin" and
civilization" of the Evening Posts
particular brand would triumph
1t is fortunate that Taft win not
carry Georgia

Metals company was organized Mir Gardner was approached by the promoters and asked to put some money into the company for the prospecting of the claims. He took the matter under advisement and later, while alone in his home in Charlottesville, Illinois, playing the single handed card game, his mind reverted to the mining claims in Arizona in which he had been asked to invest money for prospect work. Well" he said to himself, "here goes for a gamblers chance, for just once, anyhow. If 1 beat "Old Sol" this time I'll take chance on those claims and if 1 don't beat him Pll stay out of it." He beat "Old Sol" and bought a large block of Four Metals stock, furnishing some of the money with which the claims have since been prospected. This month, as pres ident of the company, he has been at the property, planning develop ment work on the big body of copper ore.

Important Notice to the Public.

This company, which owns the Ryall and Mix mining concessions on the Yaqui river, has begun an active campaign of exploration and development of it's property. The program of the work contemplated includes in its scope both the pros pecting of the territory covered by the concessions by parties employed by the company and the granting of permits, on reasonable basis of royalty, to outsiders who may desire to carry on such exploration work and locate property within the territory controlled.
 The territory covered by the con- cession includes everything between the Yaqui and Tecoripa rivers, and between the town of Cumuripa and line drawn east and west from the Mojonera del Guamuchil above San Antonio de la Huerta, and the Ojo de Agua above the town of Tecoripa on the Tecoripa river. The territory is located in the dis tricts of Ures, Hermosillo and Guaymas.
 The administration office of the company will be Fundicion. All communications, for the present, may be addressed to the company's secretary, W. P. Tucker.
 In view of the many communi- cations which the company has received from various persons rela- tive to Announcements which they have desired to make within the concessions, it has been decided to give to all those who have ex- pressed a desire to make such loca- tions, because of the expense to which they have already been put, a preferential opportunity to do so on a just basis. It will be neces- sary in order to insure this priyi- lege, to perfect arrangements with the company to that end at an early date.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, July 10, 190S- The supply of cattle this week has been small, 31, 400 head, for several reasons, among them the shortage of cattle Tn native territory, espe- cially of fed grades, and the dis satisfaction of shippers with last weeks market. The market made a sensational advance Monday and Tuesday, as there was hardly enough offered to go around, and the general gain for the week is 25 to 40 cents. Prime fed steers are very scarce, and sell at S7 50 to $805, fancy fed heifers at $6.60 to $700, Kansas grazed western steers, weighing from HOO to 1900 pounds at $5.25 to $6.80, quarantine grass steers $3.95 to $5.20, COWS and heifers $250 to $4.50, bulls $2.75 to $425, calves $350 to $5.50, stockers 1925 to $4.75, feeders $4.O0 to $5.40. A larger movement is expected next week, both be- cause of the good market this week, {, and the fact it is the natural tend ency of freceipts to enlarge each week from this time forward into Sep tenn ber Grass cattle are holding up good for the season. The usual summer slump in grass cattle prices has been checked two or three times this season by circumstance which have reduced supplies.
 The mutton market has improved 25 to 40 cents since a week ago, and the market tone is more healthy thau for several weeks, due to the appearance of all the buyers in the market every day, and with orders for normal buying for all the plants here. Run for the week 22,600. Spring lambs have sold this week at $6,25 to $6.S0, clipped yearling lambs $500 to $5.75, grass wethers $3.90 to $450, ewes $3.60 to $4.10. Good feeding stock is much sought after, wethers and ewes at $500 to $3.S0, lambs $4.50 to $500. While prospects favor Q healthy market for the immediate future, it will depend mainly on volume of supplies, and no excep- tional advance is expected this summer or fall.

DIXIE VOTERS ARE
ALIVE TO ISSUES

That the voters of Dixie are fully
alive to the Importance of the issues
of the campaign was proven last night
when one of the most largely attend
ed of the democratic rallies held in
the smaller precincts of the county,
was conducted. Attorney W. A. Toner
and Attorney T. P. Gose, both made
excellent addresses, appealing to the
intelligent voter to reason things out
for himself, and the hearty applause
accorded the speakers gave evidence
that many of the Dixie voters had al
ready done some deep thinking.
Among the candidates who made
short talks We're G. w. MastersOn,
candidate for representative from the
Thirteenth Legislative district, H. +.
ClOdius, Jr., candidate for state sena-
tor from the Twelfth district, Fred M
Hedger, candidate for county attorney
and Perry Lyons, candidate for coun-
ty clerk.
One of the big rallies planned for
next week will be held in College
Place, when r. r. Barker will address
the voters of Ritz precinct upon the
issues of the campaign.
