A doctor who had treated patient

no more, and that tempus edax rerum

gave him bottle of some kind Of mix

him. The druggists trick was dis.

What is a Dividend?

A subscriber asks Profits and Loss a question on subject which has often been discussed in these columns, but it is one over which there seems to be more ore less confusion, and there cannot be too much elucidation. He writes:
 Please inform me about the divid-- end payments. Do they pay on the par value. or on the amount of shares?"
 Dividends of mining companies in variably take the form of so many cents per share.
 A dividend, say. of three cents a share, means three cents on every share of the outstanding capitalization. The outstanding capital of company represents the total number of shares less the number remaining in the treasury. To pay dividends upon the treasury stock would be like taking money out of one pocket and putting it into another. fer the company would in reality be paying itself dividend.
 An owner of, say, 1000 shares in a company which pays a three cents dividend, would receive three cents on every share, or total of $50 co on his 1000 shares. - Jerome Copper Belt.

JANUARY J II. 1908.
Santa Cruz County.

Mining in this county has had decided forward movement during 1907. The various mining districts, most, all of which have large bodies of good ore developed, have kept up their usual quota of ore shipments and in some instances have exceeded any previous year. Like Pima county, her cash mineral product embraces the four metals. copper. lead, silver and gold The copper and lead silver mines are largely in the ascendency in production, the gold camps of Gro Blanco and other places not having furnished but very little product dur ing the year. The shutting down of the Mowry mine, the largest lead sil- yer producer in the county. was very unfortunate. As we understand 1t, the management allowed the ore re- serves to be used up by the smelter and did not keep work ahead to furnish new supplies when those in sight were exhausted. This, if So. is certainly not good mining. We trust the property will have better man agement in the future. Santa Cruz county is the equal of any county in Arizona for immense quantities of ore and quite an amount of it is of a grade that pays fair profit to ship to outside reduction works.-Miner.

Special Term of Court to Try Murderer.

Senatobia Miss, Nov. 18.-In
response to a petition addressed to
him Hon. w. A. Roane met large
number Of the citizens of Tate
county,, at mass meeting at the
court house to advise with them as
to calling a special term of Circuit
Court of Tate county to try Steve
Veazey, negro, charged with the
murder of Boss Veazey. After the
meeting was organized, with Hon.
S. w. Jones as President and M.
H. Thompson, Secretary, resolu-
tion was unanimously carried ask
ing that Judge Roane hold a special
term of the Circuit Court, begin
ming Dec. %, to try all criminal
cases now pending in Tate county.
Steve Veazey is one of the two ne
groes who are charged with killing
Boss Veazey, a white man, near
Arkbutla. Lutte Veazey. the other
participator in the crime, was mob
bed at Arkbutla last Saturday.
The action of Judge Roane in call
ing special term of the Court will
entirely allay any disposition that
the friends of the murdered boy
may have to further avenge the
crime by lynching Steve. The ne
gro is now in Jail.

''The rapid advance of Mississip-

different lines Of material prosper

small check through the recent and

A WeII-Meant Suggestion.

Referring to the sensational in
cident in the Circuit Court Thurs
day afternoon, suggestion is offer
ed which it is hoped will not be
regarded as impertinent, but alto
gether well-meant. 1t is that here
after, when court is in session, all
persons except attorneys, witnesses,
officers of the court and jurymen,
be rigidly kept out of that portion
of the bar enclosure just to the
right of the Judges stand and be-
tween that and the fireplace on
that side.
This would undoubtedly be a
great relief to lawyers in conduct
ing their cases, to witnesses and
jurors. 1t has been frequently
noticed that the noise and confu-
sion in that corner by outsiders,
distract lawyers and jurymen while
in the midst of case and some
times movement or loud word by
some outsider in this space right in
front of the jury box catches the
attention of juryman just at the
instant when a witness is giving
the most important part of his
testimony and the juror thus
misses it. It is more than probable
if such a rule had been in strict
force Thursday afternoon, the re-
grettabfe incident referred to
would never have occurred.

Court Treated With Contempt and It's
Officers Defied.

The Leader publishes elsewhere
in this issue the details of most
humiliating incident in the Circuit
Court here Thursday afternoon,
which can but reflect lasting dis
credit upon the dignity and eff
cheney of the Court and the chief
law officer of the county, if it is
allowed to finally pass as it has up
to the hour these lines are written.
The editor of The Leader has been
frequent attendant upon courts in
South Mississippi for thirty years
and never before in all that time
has he ever witnessed such fla
grant breach of order and decorum
in court room as this-an in
stance where an organized court.
in the due discharge of its official
duties, was treated with utter con-
tempt and its officers resisted and
defied, without the offender being
summarily dealt with
On this occasion there were three
distinct violations of law in the
actual presence or hearing of the
Court besides contempt: (1) disor-
derly conduct; ~ resisting an Off
Ger in the discharge of his official
duty, ~ profane swearing in the
presence of two or more persons;
and several witnesses allege a
fourth-intoxication.
If Judge Wilkinson and Sheriff
Greer can't enforce the law in
fragrant case of this kind that
brings reproach and loss of respect
for the whole machinery of law
enforcement, they might just as
we'll abdicate and for the sake of
equal justice and fair play cease
enforcing it against other offenders
less bold and defiant.
The Leader has not the least
personal ill-will or unkind feeling
toward Mr.. Cope, the offender in
this instance. So far from it, we
entertain something Of admiration
for him for the boldness and spirit
of defiance he exhibited toward the
court and it's officers when he dis.
covered they were not making good
their authority. But on the other
hand, as citizen of Lincoln coun-
ty and Mississippi, we are very
deeply interested in seeing the laws
equally and impartially enforced
and the dignity of the courts and
public respect for and confidence in
them properly maintained, and for
that, in the name of the law-abid-
ing citizens of Lincoln County, we
contend.
