trict. (This mine is now owned
by the Boston-Pioche company,
and forms one of its valuable
group of mining properties on
the porphyry dyke.)
Dogs Phoebe is far worse than
Constantinople for dogs. You
can hardly turn around without
seeing three or four, and some
very amusing scenes are wit
messed almost every day. 1t is
quite a common sight to see
wash boilers, iron pots or other
tin pals tied to dogs narratives,
while the canine species sweeps
through Main street at full speed.
A very ludicrous scene occurred
the other morning in front of
our office by which a well-known
merchant of Phoebe had his pins
thrown from under him, and he
made terrible impression on
the ground. He tried to save
himself by grabbing two dogs
and placing one under each arm,
but it was no use, and we have
never seen a more comical sight
to the beholder, nor more aston
ishment than that exhibited by
the merchant and the two dogs.
The county commissioners should
organize pound and capture the
ours running around apparently
without owners, and the kettle
nuisance would cease. Time has
not tended toward extinguishing
the dog nuisance in Phoebe.
There are absolutely too many as
it is, and it is ever increasing as
does the population. 1t would
still be a wise move on the part
of the county commissioners to
pass some ordinance abating this
nuisance.)
Improving-Freighters arriv-
ing from Salt Lake and Toano
report the roads improving, and
hereafter goods can be relied
upon to be received in about six
teen days from either point. In
some instances heretofore freight
has been from twenty-five to
thirty-fve days in transit. docs
it occur to you, gentle reader,
that a camp which could flourish
under such unfavorable condi-
tons should not be one of the
greatest under conditions as they
exist today

telling yarns about voyages down the

The passengers were all forward by
this time. and were standing with
blancbed races to hear the reading Of
the missive from the Father Of Wa

March 1871
Omnibus Line to the Court
House All who have business
to transact with any of our
county officials think an omni-
bus line would do a good bust
ness running from the county
seat the court house we mean.
The wisdom of the act of locat-
ing the court house half mile out
of town in order to be secure
from fires, we would not for a
moment doubt. 1t is just nice
little walk and who would not
walk half a mile every day to
ward off dyspepsia, if not for
the benefit of general health?
The scenery between the court
house and Phoebe is good; you
not only get a glance at China
town but many other pleasing
objects meet the eye unsought.
In time, no doubt, a drive" to
the court house will be a thing
many of the conceited will boast
about. A drive to the cliff will
be nothing in comparison.
Peayine-This mine is being
worked with a full force, and if
milling facilities could now be
secured, the company could at
once furnish high grade ore to
the amount of five tons per day.
Judge Hall, the superintendent,
is running prospecting shaft
on the ledge which looks well,
and has started a tunnel, which
by running 600 feet, will cut the
ledge at a depth of 500 feet. A
great advantage will be obtained
by working from this tunnel,
which of itself is of immense
value. In the shaft now being
sunk, the ore assays about SITS
per ton, and is about % inches
wide and appears to widening at
the south end of the shaft. AL
together this is one of the most
promising mines in the camp,
and in a few months, we opine,
will prove this to be one of the
best paying lodges in this dis

AUTOGRAPHS CAME IN USEFUL.
Stranded Ensishman Raised Money
on Famous Names.

II Is sometimes mighty useful to
have distinguished relatives Here Is
an Instance In point. A young New
Yorker, brother.in-law of Sir Philip
BurneJones, the artist. found himself
stranded while in Albany a few days
ago Being unacquainted in the state
capital, the problem of how to raise
enough money to get back to Broad
way was serious one. Suddenly II
dawned upon him that couple of let
tiers which he had in his possession,
and which he only recently had re-
ceived from Burne-Jones and Rudyard
Kipling, the author, might be made to
realize II not train fare, at least the
price OF a ham sandwich. Acting on
the inspiration, he took the letters to
nearby bookstore, which made a
specially of the buying and selling Of
original autograph letters OF famous
persons.
fortunately there happened to be
nothlng of a particularly private or
confidential nature in the misslyes In
question, and after examining them
carefully and asking some questions
relating thereto the proprietor of the
store finally offered their owner $4.75
for both letters-s4 for the Kipllne
epistle and 75 cents for the Burne-
Jones one. Needless to say, the offer
was promptly accepted.

The might riders" masked men sim
liar to the Ku Klux Khan of former
days, are travelling over the tobacco re
gions of the state leaving death and
despoilation in their wake. Proper
ty to the value OF a million dollars or
more has been destroyed in the last
year. The might riders" supposed to
be members of a farmers association
which was formed to pool the inter
ests of the planters so as to prevent
the tobacco trust from forcing prices
for leaf tobacco below its real value Or
an open market where there is COM
petition, have burned the property of
the trust, dynamited independent
warehouses. scraped the beds of indi-
vidual planters, raided towns, ordered
what class of laborers should be en-
ployed and created a state of fear in
all the small towns where tobacco is
sold.
Gov. Wilson, the newly installed
executive of Kentucky, is vigorous in
his denunciation of these lawless
bands and has called upon the legis-
lature to act so that they may be sup
pressed. And they should be sup
pressed by placing the whole bunch in
the p~enitentiary. Farmers, ordinary
laborers or capitalists have the right
to combine for their own welfare, and
such are frequently to be commended,
but when such a combination or the
members of a combination violate the
laws of the land they should be pun
ished no matter how worthy is their
organization.

THE DoOR or HOPE.

Senator Johnson, of Alabama, in his
recent address at Boston, is reported
to have said that the Negro complains
too much about the door of hope and
of opportunity being closed upon the
race. That if the door was closed
upon a white man he would proceed to
unlock it or break it down. This is
exactly what the Negro is doing and
it is one of the main cause why there
is such a disparity between the GRIM
inal record of the Negro and white man
as was shown by Mr.. Johnson. When
a mar attempts to unlock a door or
break in where those or the inside
think he has no right to come he is
Liable to meet resistance. The Negro
complains it is true, but his complaint
is no more insistent than is that of
others. William Jennings Bryan, for
example, has been complaining for
many years and for what? For the
same purpose that the Negro COM
plains, that is, to create sentiment
for the ~amelioration Of evils as each
sees them. In the meantime, while
the Negro is complaining he is going
forward buying homes, opening new
business enterprises, decreasing his H.
literarcy and advancing in most every
walk of life at a rate that will COM
pare very favorably with that of any
other race in America.

LYNoH1NGg FoR 1907.

Lynching statitics for 1907 show a
gratifying decrease in the number of
persons who have met death during
the year from this form of lawlessness.
The record, which is doubtless incom-
plete, shows there were forty-two vic
tins. OF these thirty-eight were Ne
groes and four white. Three of the
former being females.
Lynchings were most numerous in
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Farther North there were
lynchings in Maryland, Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska. Mississippi, which
held the lead in 1906, gave way to
Louisiana in which state nine persons,
all colored, met death by mob VIC
lence. Seven each was the record of
Alabama and Mississippi, six in Geor-
gia, and Tennessee, one, that of Will
Clifford at Tiptonville, on the 10th of
August.
Assault, attempted assault, murder,
attempted murder, robbery, aiding
fugitive, wounding white man and
threatening a woman were the al
legged crimes for which lynch law was
invoked. Murder being the cause in
more cases than any one other. The
year just closed shows, as did those
preceding, that lynching is more often
resorted to for other crimes than for
the one for which it is supposed to be
the only specific.

against the intrenched wrong-doers
undaunted; a man whom lovers Of
fair play everywhere should delight
to honor, and that man is Joseph B.
Foraker.
Senator Foraker stood for the pre-
servers of Col. Roosevelt, though the
latter tried most st%renuously to sad
die upon them a crime to justify his
actions toward them. Not to prove
them guilty, was to brand himself as
one of the meanest ingrates of the
age. if he did not countermand the
order discharging without honor" the
men who, by the most gallant and
heroic charge of the whole Spanish
American War, saved him and his
command from being cut to pieces.
Senator Foraker has forever signal
lied himself by the name he han
died the experts. He out-eXperted the
experts and made their expert testi-
mony look ri~diculously bunglesome,
indeed, to put it in the best possible
light. It would have been pitiful, in
deed, had not the case been so serious
for the Negro, to see the little fellows
squirming and rigging about, trying
to get together ONE expert evidence
to help their dread master, the Presi-
dent Of the United States Of America,
fasten a crime upon his saviors, for
no greater reason than to safe an over
leaping ambition to please and be
popular with the South.
This has been said to show that the
man upon whom Roosevelt purposes
to drop the mantle of his policies has
been his faithful disciple and will be
a close imitator if he succeeds in rid
ing into power. That man is Will
liam H. Taft.
If Taft is ever President, he will be
so nominally, Roosevelt will be the
real thing, that is, the power behind
the throne. Taft, as Secretary of
War, could have held up the iniqui-
tous order against the soldiers, as the
President was out of the, country, in
such a way as to have made it i'm
possible for the President to sustain
his sweeping order without making
himself culpable before the world for
a glazing wrong.
So, fellow-countrymen, let us see to
it that the political band wagon in
the South is not packed with -Tafter-
ties only.
Foraker has a claim on our support,
and let us be men and rally to him as
he did to us.
