AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT

Last night between 9 and 10
o'clock a party of 10y riders'Tet
with grief on the south Fork road.
In the party were j. M. Walling,
w. NJ. Lewis, "Frenchy, 1.-THE driver,
and two women. They were on
their return trip, going at a lively
clip, when the driver attempted to
make a double turn. He made the
first and missed the second, the
machine going into the sage brush,
throwing all the parties out except
the driver, who escaped unhurt.
The others are more or less hurt
and all are confined to their rooms
today. The report at noon was
that Lewis was in the hospital, but
a phone message to each brought
the reply that ne was not at either
the Redwood or the county hospital.

DR.. Schurz to proceed with the con-
struction. The first plans sub
mitted 10 him were not accepted

approved and the work is to start.
According to the new plans the
plant will have a maximum of three
thousand pounds of explosives in

is now prepared to have the work
on the construction of the factory
commence Immediately. He states

the OLD COURTHOUSE

The old courthouse begins to
look like a wreck. The roof is
nearly off and part of the rear walls
is torn down. If those old walls
could speak, what a tale of hap
piness and sorrow they could tell.
Within the old walls criminals
have received sentences that con-
fined them to the penitentiary or
the hangman's moose, while others
have heard the words hat meant
life and liberty to them.
The voices of the pleader and the
orator have been heard within those
walls. There Kinney, Flack,
Bigelow, Talbot, and Brown. a
bright galaxy of legal minds, have
evenly held the scales of justice.
Kinney, Flack and Bigelow have
gone to their reward. All of them
have written their names securely
on the pages OF Eiko county's
history.
The old court house will be torn
down and in its place will arise a
more costly and stately edifice.
Other judges will hold the scales of
justice, but we doubt if in the
years to come, any will hold them
more evenly and more impartially
than those whose names are so in
dellibly associated with the old
building.

Hernandez is in Jail badly carved

Following n dispute over an old

and took two shots at a tent in
which Domingo Hernandez was
sleeping. This aroused Hernandez
and he took after Herrera with n
long knife. Herrera then got his
gun into action again and shot
Domingo Hernandez through the
heart killing him instantly.
This brought Jesus Hernandez
into the fight armed with a razor.
He chased Herrera through the

THE ROMANCE OF WHEAT

Wheat is the food of princes and
peasants. 1t is the food of the
world. 1t was known TO be the
best food for fifty centuries. but
it did not until thirty or forty years
ago become universal. Every COM
munity ate all it raised. There
was none to sell. 1t was so precious
that only kings and the nobilities
could afford it. 1t was sowed by
peasants, who reaped it with a
sickle by hand. For 5000 years
no better plan was conceived than
the sickle and the scythe. Then
came the reaper, an invention by
Cyrus H. Mccormick, of Scotch
Irish descent. Then the world
began eating bread.
This new machine, the reaper.
when it was full grown into the
self binder was equal to forty
sickles. With one man to drive it.
it could cut and bind enough wheat
in one season to feed 400 persons.
In its most developed form, the
combined harvester and thrasher,
it has become so gigantica machine
that thirty-two horses are required
to haul it.
This leviathan cuts a fifty foot
roadway through the grain, thrashes
it and bags it at the.rate Of one bag
every half minute. And the total
world production of rcapcrs of
every sort-self binders, mowers,
headers, corn binders, etc.-is
probably as many as l,5OO, 900 a
year, two-thirds of them being
made in the United States.
Because OF this harvesting ma
chinery the wheat crop of the
world is now nearly twice what it
was in 1879. The American crop
has multiplied six and a half times
in fifty years. Western Canada,
Australia, Siberia and Argentina
have become wheat producers.
The cost of growing one bushel
in America with machinery and
high wages is now about half a
dollar, which is less than the cost in
Europe and as low as the cost in
India, where laborers can be hired
for a few pennies a day. With a
sickle the time cost of a bushel of
wheat was three hours. With a
selfbinder it is now ten minutes.
Then came the steamboat and the
railroad that carried the grain.
At the outset it was shipped in bags.
Then some railway genius invented
the grain car, which. holds
as much as twenty or twenty-five
wagon loads, and today one of the
ordinary moving pictures of an
American railroad is a sixty a
train travelling eastward with
enough wheat in its rolling bins to
give bread to a city of 10000
people for a year.
The Siberian railway, which is
the longest straight line of steel in
the world, was built larcly as a
wheat conveyor. So we're the rail-
ways of western Canada, Argentina
and India.
1t is cheaper to carry wheat from
n country to another than from
the barn to the nearest town. The
average distance that an American
farmer has to haul his grain is nine
and half miles, and the average
cost of haulage is 8 cents for a
hundred pounds. Thus it has
actually become true that TO carry
wheat ten miles by wagon costs
more than 2 1900 miles by steamship.
Such is the tense efficiency of our
wheat carrier system that a bushcl
of grain can now be picked upin
Missouri and sent to the cotton
spinncrs of England for a dime.

be disputed. Now citizens Of Lee
county what do you say, you have
the facts and they cannot be denied2
Mr.. Martin has given a list Of
salaries Of City Court Judges and he
has taken, in Some instances, the
most extreme low salaries. Let us
see what il a fair average Of the
lcounties in our section, and Of coun-
lties situated like Lee county is, and
zee whether the Grand Jury that
| liked the salary Of the Judge of the
| City Court were reasonable or not,
land we append q list,
Baker county $1O2O, 90 per anmm
Macon county $4,000 per annum
Mitchell county $996, 00lper annum
Turner county $4,000 per annum
Worth county $4,000 per annum
Terrell county s10O0,00per annum
ISumter county $4,000 pera nnum
Dougherty county $500 per annum
Are not these our neighboring
Ecounties2 That is the way to class
the counties, if you wish to be fair.
Why single out the lowest ones
from all over the State, where you
do not know the conditions existing
in them? You should also consid-
er the greater cost Of the Superior
Courts; for your assertion to the
contrary, you are obliged to know
that it would entail more costs to
the county to have all these misde-
meanor cases tried by that court,
and then to have them 60 before
the Grand Juries before the law
would allow them to be tried by
that court, 1t is g wen known fact
TINT the work Of the Grand Juries
and of the Superior Court, has been
greatly lessened since the establish
ment Of the City Court, and no one
knows that better than Mr.. Martin
does. tits common remark by
all who come in touch with the
business, that it has lessencd the
business Of the Superior Court more
than half since the City Court has
been organized. Now in support Of
this, just examine the dockcts Of
the SuperisI Court five or six years
back, before the organization Of the
City Court, and examine it now and

and unbiased mind. Examine the

disposed Of, and Of the cases dispos-
ed Of by the City Court, and you
will find that it costs more than
three times as much, and it is use
less to contend that they will not
cost more in the Superior Court.
Another consideration and an iin-
portant one to the taxpayers is
what would be the cost Of maintain
ing the prisoners in Jail from one
Superior Court to another if thorc
was no City Court. AS rule it
would very nearly pay half the sal
airy Of the City Court Judge Of it.
self.
Then add the additional cost for
the Grand Jury; to send for witness,
and for extra bailiffs, in hearing
these cases and you would nearly
save enough to pay the City Court
Judges salary, without more reas-
ons, It is not TO be expected that
persons not conversant with the
facts and courts should know, hence
would easily be nfisled by specious
arguments intended to- condcmn the
court and the judge Of it; but that
should not be the case now; for
you have both sides, and you, the
honest, fair minded people, who
want the truth are to say who is
right. Have / not made good"
my contentious? Think Of the
very persons who have gotten pall
this contention, and look to their
motives, look to the motives Of the
writer Of this reply and then look at
the stern facts presented, and we
believe you will say, by all means
hold to thcCity Court, ana, if they
want to hit it's judge, let them
come out into the open, and do it
like men and not under the cover.
We agree with Mr.. Martin that this
is a public question and every citi-
zen is free to exprcs his opinion and
not to charge sinister motives, 'pand
we add unless he has been shown to
have sinister motives. He says fur
Their itswas evidently circulated to
thwart some from acting according
to their conviotions by endavoring
toawaken some supposed prejudice
and we have not only awakened
some supposed prejudice, but we
have proven it ON the instigatcrs Of
it. The Editor Of the Journal has
gone to considerable expense to
give both sides Of this question Il
full and fair presentation Of the
case, and we have given you the
true facts, and ask verdict for us
at your hands, and we believe you
willegladly give it; that is, all ex-
