A NARROW ESCAPE.
Unknown Parties Try to Burn Negro
and His House,

John Hampton, negro, who lives
on Mr.. VIM. Brickle's place, in Zion
Township about seven miles from
this city, had a very narrow escape
from being burned to death on Tues
day night. During the night he was
awakened by his house being dis
covered on fire, and had to move
pretty lively to get out. . On investi-
cation it was found that someone
had undoubtedly set the house on
fire. Mr. Brickle communicated with
Sheriff Salley as to the best methods
as to the capture of the guilty par
ties, but up to yesterday afternoon
no arrests had been made.
Hampton and his wife recently
hat row and she had Hampton ar
rested on the charge of assault and
battery with attempt TO kill. He was
tried and let out on $500 bond by
Judge Brundon on Tuesday morning.
1t is though that the affair of Tues
day night is a development of that
case

advertising.
"You see a price in print, your
mind is set at rest On the point oil
cost. The great question, How
much? is answered to your complete
satisfaction. When you do not find
the price in print, you lay aside the
paper with feeling Of dissatisfac-
ton, unless you are so rich or care
less that price is no object with you.
But in these times when price is d
greater object than it ever was be-
fore, almost everybody looks out for
the cost of things. And If John
Smith G. Co.. do not give any price
in their otherwise clever ad., you
are very likely to swing your trade
in the direction Of John Smith Co.,
who answer all your very natural
questions about quality and prices
of their offering in manner COM
plete, easy and satisfactory.
THE best furniture advertising
done today is done by the Paine Fur
niture Company Of Boston. Scores
of people in Boston, in New York.
and in the West have tod mo thu;
the ads of the Paine Furniture Com
rany represented the Oest furniture
advertising, which verdict comedies
exactly with my own views. lnaS-
much as this advertising stands at
the top of the pyramid of good furni
ture advertising, let Us analyze it a
little and see if some of it's good
points can not be applied to other
furniture advertising. Pick up any
Boston daily, morning or evening.
and you'll find the Paine Furniture
ad. 1t is missing on Sunday. Like
the Wanamaker and O'Neill ads of
New York it takes rest on Sunday,
but starts up fresh and forcibl! on
Monday morning and stays right
along in business until Saturday.
Il do not advocate the eXpendi-
ture of Is or 25 per cent of your
capita! for your years advertising.
but | do think that any dealer any
where could spend a sufficient
amount TO at least induce his fellow
men to spend his money at home or
nearby. In q great many cases
your newspaper proprietors and en-
ployees are the very ones who will
send their orders out of town for
what they need. When they do this,
they are doing to you, a time or SO,
just what you probably have been do
ing for them for many years; viz,
showing you that they do not neces-
sarily have to spend their money
with you, because you do not spend
yours with them. | truly think

COTTON AGAINST CERIALS.
Some Interesting Facts From the
Census Report.

SShouo As>pSAS'
A bulletin just issued by the bu-
reau of the census contains some
interesting facts on cotton produc-
ton, says the Anderson Mail.
1t is found that revised figures
for the crop of 1908 expressed in
equivalent 50O-pound bales and in
cluding linters, show total produc-
ton of 13,5S7,306 bales. This rep
resents an increase over 1907 OF
2,211,S45 bales or 1914 per cent.
1t is the third largest crop ever
produced, being exceeded only by
the crops of 1904 and 1905, and
is 97S,751 bales larger than the aver
age crop of the last five years.
But what is more interesting, it
is shown that the aggregate value OF
the cereal crops for the United States
in 1907 was estimated by the depart
ment of agriculture at S2,378,000,-
600, while the value of the cotton
produced that year was estimated
at SOL, 100000, nearly one-third
the value of all cereals.
No less than 100000 persons are
employed in producing, handling and
manufacturing American cotton, OF
whom some 100000 are farmers
and farm laborers, 100000 other
wise engaged with the fiber in this
country and about 100000 are con-
cerned with it in foreign countries.
The value of the goods manufactur-
ed from the average American cotton
crop is estimated at $4,000, 100000.

MILL AT TIN PAN
GOES TO GALICE
Equipment at Tin Pan Mine to BE
Taken to the Sugar Pine Mine
Above Grants Pass.

C. II. Farmer and j. P. Dobbyn, of
Gallce, were in Gold Hill last Friday
afternoon, says the News, completing
the arrangements of moving the ten
stamp mill from the Tin Pan mine
on Calls creek, to their property at
Gallce. The entire equipment of the
mill, including motors, battery, cars
and everything, will be moved to
their property, the Sugar Pine, where
it will be put in operation.
The Sugar Pine is known as one
of the best properties in the Galice
district. The operators have tapped
the vein on the 700 and 500 foot lev
els and have driven in a tunnel over
coo feet. They have a vein of tellu-
rum and silverite averaging from IS
inches to four feet in width and lay
ing between a formation of quart
site and porphory on the hanging
walls, giving an exceptionally high
assay.
The task of putting the mill in op-
Grafton on this property is no small
one, owing to the inefficient trans
portation facilities, but after the
work has been completed the opera
tors expect great results from the
Sugar Pine.
Galice Is fast becoming known as
the most important mining district
in Oregon, and as soon as it has
become noted in outside financial
circles, and men of money become
interested and the development
properly started, 1t will rival the
famous gold fields of Nevada and
Alaska in every way. Endowed with
Southern Oregons Incompatible
climate, 1t is rapidly proving a para
disc for the prospector. He no long
er has to brave the dangers of Neva-
da's deserts nor the storm ridden
mountains of Alaska in his search for
gold, but in this district he can ply
his vocation as comfortably and as
leisurely as though he was out on
a summer vacation.

DIED.

day, April %, 1909, Thomas Wer-
ry Williams, aged rs years, after
protracted Illness.
Thomas Very Williams was in
many respects a remarkable charac-
ter He was born In Cornwall, Eng
land, where he lived for many years
and became one of the leaders among
the Cornish miners and his services
to his fellow-workmen resulted in
placing them on higher plane than
that occupied previously. While he
was a leader among his fellows he
was also a miner and for years fol-
lowed that calling. After time
he met with mine accident which,
for the time being, promised to be
fatal, but strong constitution en-
abled him to survive the serious in
jury, but he was never able again
to follow this laborious occupation.
In the year 1855 he was married to
Miss Elizabeth Ann Richards, OF his
native county. This proved to be a
happy union and for the remarkable
period OF 55 years they have lived
together and brought up a numerous
family. His widow survives him,
also four sons and three daughters.
They are: John II. Williams, Thomas
Very Williams, Jr., Samuel Will
llams, Albert Williams, Mrs. Ken
dali and Mrs, Thomas Clemo, all re-
siding in Grants Pass, and a daughter
who resides in Australia.
During the year 1899 Mr.. VIII
liams was prevailed upon to come
to Grants Pass and make his home
with his children. Arriving here he
made many friendships and COM
manded the respect Of our entire
community He was a man of ser-
Gus convictions and strongly Impress
ed those about him with truth, honor
and the high purposes which sus-
tanned him. For several years he
had been great sufferer, but his
kindly disposition and his love and
consideration for others never for
sock him.
His funeral took place from the
Newman Methodist church Friday
afternoon, April %, and was attend
ed by n large number of our citizens.
TOMPKINS In Grants Pass, Sun
day, April %, 1909, Mrs. Mary Il.
Tompkins, born August IL, 1897,
aged 72 years,
Mrs. Tomklns was the widow of
DR.. Isaac Tomkins, who brought his
family to Grants Pass April, 1898,
coming here for hts health. The
family purchased n home on Sixth
street, near the bridge, which they
have occupied during all these years.
The doctor died in October the year
following his arrival here, leaving
his widow and one son, Ira s.
Mrs. Tomkins was woman Of
culture and made many friends In
her quiet way during her residence
here. She had been III for many !
months and on last Sunday she was |
released from pain and suffering. |
She will be mourned by her son
