When colored folks learn that they
do not have TO die but once and to
go lighting in a good cause is better
than to stink out OF life with a bullet
in the back. such happenings as those
at Springfield, Illinois will be of rare
occurrence.

WEATHER MAN SAID ''RAIN'
 AND HE MADE GOOD, TOO
Not a "Mcrry Widow" TTnt Was Seen
 On the Streets.

While the weather man did not wish to spoil all of the fun of the fans of Montgomery in the watching of Jimmy Ryan's bunch of Climbers mop up again with that Atlanta bunch. he had his revenge. He successfully prevent ed a display of the merry widow at the ball park, on Dexter avenue or anywhere else yesterday afternoon While the rain didn't amount to much in actual precipitation up to o'clock yesterday afternoon. sufficient moisture was recorded to make a game at Capt- tol Heights out of the question. For this much one Smith should be grate- full. as 1t gives him one more day in which to enjoy being tied for first place with Ryan's bunch.
 The weather man says that it may rain today. but there Is goodly chance of 1t being fair by the afternoon. If the wind should set in from the South or the southeast during the night and continue from that direction long the north of Montgomery. and Ryan's bunch will be given another chance to repeat.
 Yesterdays reports showed that the storm area which was central on Mon day over Western Texas, had moved eastward only as far as the eastern boundary of that State and was giving eastern cotton district extending so far north as the Missouri and Ohio val leys The rainfall was heaviest in Louisiana and Mississippi.
 Reports show that the centre of this disturbance is moving slowly east ward and will. 1t is thought. cause continued rains through this section during this morning of not this after noon. The weather had begun to clear in Western Texas yesterday and there is a bare possibility that the clear ing conditions may continue and set in in this section by this noon. It all depends on the direction of the wind.

PoTosE.

Work is progressing nicely on the Bird
level of the Potosi, with power drills ex-
tending the drifts both north and south.
The north drift is now in 80 ft. in vein
matter, with several inches of quartz
showing copper sulphides. The south
drift is in 75 feet from the shaft, and to
the surprise of the manager, is in IA
inches of ore quite similar to that of the
shoot of ore found in No. 2 drift quite a
distance further south and evidently the
same shoot, but extending that much
further to the north. This demonstrates
that the mine continues down to a lower
horizon than any vein in this district had
ever been previously prospected and is an
encouragement to the owners of other
properties to go to much greater depths
for results. There are many prospects in
this vicinity where rich ore was taken
out near the surface which apparently en-
countered barren ground when greater
depth was reached, and long ago, created
the impression that "the foothill mines
did not go down" The work now being
done on the Potosi refutes this impress
sion.
The fine weather at present is making
this company think of resuming work Oh
the construction of its mill, suspended
last fall.
