DAYS DOINGS ON
THE NEW EXCHANGE

During the regular calls on the new ex-
change yesterday, mighty little was doing.
In the morning 200 shares of East Tintic
Gold King at 12tc and 100 Mountain Lake
Extension at 412c made up the sum total.
During the regular call in the afternoon
five transactions were recorded, two IN
Kincola at lac and 131zc respectively, one
in Tintic Consolidated at 1714c, one in Joe
Bowers at IA. and one in East Tintic
Development at 19c.
The open board ansactiOns were so
much more conspicuous as to cause doubt
as to their genUineness. 1t was announced
previous to the formation of this exchange
that all monkey business would be alb
sOlutely made impossible through the
clearing house that was to be feature OF
the institution; but, so far as known, the
clearing house has been forgotten.
The open board deals included about ten
stocks. from Ogema TO KinCOla; from Joe
Bowers to Silver King, and, with the eX-
ception Of the stocks named, the prices
made varied but little from those made
on the old exchange.

As To ReelfoOf Lake.

We give space to a very interesting letter
which refers to an editorial of some weeks ago:
England, Ark. Feb, 10, 1902
| enclose $500 renewal for Magazine and
Weekly.
| am informed that the U. S. government
issued land warrants to all the sufferers of
the earthquake of 1871 that formed so many of
the lakes in Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri.
In fact the rectors tried to locate Hot Springs
in this state by sunk land warrants and lawed
the government many years over it.
Reelfoot Lake being L. S. water the action
of Tennessee Legislature is invalid
A recent ruling of the L. S. land Office in
volving the ownership of lakes in Arkansas as
serts the title is in the u. S. and that the lakes
whole or in part are not private property,
but belong to the people. This ruling came up
from an injunction from some of our courts,
on appeal to the u. S. land authorities at Wash
ngton not over three months ago
| am going to Mexico in week or SO, and
may drop you few lines" from there.
Yours truly, R B. Carl Lee.
Ed Note: Ordinarily, deep-water lake. in
accessible to navigation from another state, be-
longs to the state in which located.
AS Reelfoot lake was formed by earth
quake which submerged the land owned by
private citizens, and the y. S. Government
compensated the losers with land warrants, the
equity of the u. S. Government in the Lake is
apparent.
What the courts would hold as to the title,
the Lord, only knows.

You Can 4 Lose Booker.

It would have been strange thing, indeed,
if Doctor Booker Washington had not ridden
serenely to the front during the Lincoln CEN
tenary On this troubled continent of ours
there are only two advertisers who can beat
Booker at running the advertising department.
One Of these is our dearly beloved friend, w
J. B., and the other, of course, is Hearst.
Roosevelt is good one himself, but he can't
do more than hold candle to the other three.
Doctor Booker Washingtons speciality is the
tapping of dropsical plutocrats, Most of these,
as Judge Lawson would say, "hail from some
where North of Masons and D1Xon's line.
Why this is so, we will not now stop to ex-
plain, but it is so.
Consequently, Booker's practice, as Taper
of plutes is confined chiefly to swollen an
KEGS The artistic style in which the learned
Doctor can apply the surgical instruments to
dropsical millionaire, and draw off golden
streams into Tuskeegee, has long been the sub
ject of admring comment.
The Lincoln centenary afforded Booker the
best chance he has had in many a day.
First of all, therefore, he came out III card
sugeesting with unusual and most engaging
modesty that now, while the whole nation was
turning it's thoughts to Lincoln, it would be
good time to turn rivulets of ducatS in the dl-
rection of Tuskeegee. 1t was much the same
as though Booker had said Remember Lin
coin, but don't forget ME-"
That was real modest, wasn't 1t!
Then, to clnch matters, the learned Doctor
went North to put himself in evidence, and
to make a speech.
AS the newspapers last year used to say
about the old man, the speech of Booker was
along the usual lines"
Doctor Washington drew touching picture
of himself as little pckaninny, gathering from

ODE Jeffersontan

The holding of harmless decisions is by no
means incompatible with general sanity.
Did not the golden hearted Dickens bend
his genius to the task of demonstrating that
very thing? The "Mr. Dick of David Cop
perheld had more wheels in his head than are
imputed to George Bell by Judge lawson
yet who would not be shocked at the thought
Of lifelong imprisonment for such docile de-
lusionists as "Mr. Dick?'
Our lawmakers adopted this view, and it is

H0A1 the Central Cut Expenses.

v1duals and corporations, felt that expenses
must be reduced.
Consequently, it practiced rigid economy
to the\extent of $8o8,ooo.
Where were the reductions made? To whom
was the knife put?
There was Major J. F. Hanson, dummy
President of the road who holds but can't sell
one share of its stock and whose yearly salary
is $4,000, Here was a nice place for economy.
Everybody knows that Mai Hanson is not
practical railroad man. but is by trade and life
long occupation a cotton spinner Everybody
who is acquainted with his habits knows that
he is good deal of a society man., with
tenderness for Horse-shows and European hol-
lday meanderings. Consequently, while the
cutting down of expenses was going on last
year, it would have been appropriate occa-
sion to put that monstrous salary of Major
Hanson on the chopping block
But no; oh, no! The higher up a big piece
of graft and grab is, the harder it is to disodge
The storm Of rigid economy blew over, and
the Majors preposterous salary remained as
much of catfish as ever. No shrinking there.
Next we come to the lawyers The Central
has some mighty high-priced lawyers. 1t has
a set in Savannah, set in Macon and a set in
Atlanta. They are paid tremendous salaries
hey them in the same way that Major
Hanson earns his.
Was the knife Of economy put to the huge
sums annually paid to these LAWYERS?
No. Oh no! Instead of essening the ex-
penses of this luxurious department. it is our
understanding that Major Hanson created an
other position in the service, in order that Hon.
John L. Little of Atlanta, might be snugly
berthed.
Well, then,-where did the management put
the knife?
o the little fellows Of course. The burden
fell on the weak, as usual
In order that Major Hanson and the lawyers
of the three cities might keep their sugar -teats
more than one thousand men, Just common
emplOyes,-Were thrown out of work.
When thousand poor men lose their jobs,
in year like 1908, it means that thousand
families are brought to Distress Allowing an
average of five to family five thousand peo-
pie of the common Sort suffered from the rigid
economy of the Central, and suffered unneces-
sarily.
For mark you, the gross earnings of the road
fell off less than five hundred dollars in 1908,
and if there had been no mountain of rascaly
ver-capitalization to carry, the road would
have earned magnificent profit. Upon actual
value, and upon actual investment, it made
large profits and would have made them with
out the discharge of single man.
Major Hanson's bosses are running the Cen
trail for the purpose of getting dividends on
stock and bonds that represent nothing but
pen, ink, paper and Wall street rapacity.
Major Hanson and the lawyers cooperate
with the New York bosses in carrying out their
purpose. Therefore, Hanson and the lawyers
'stay put"
i1yAXxicn those salaries
