titled "The Gold Brick and the Gold
Nine" In which the dark and divers
ways employed by the mining-shark

forth. Reference is made 10 the man

We learn from Mr.. Hough that Lyman
cleaned up a half million In that deal
and that while the firm was taking
in the money Lyman maintained
racing stable, had a reputation as
daring automobilist and even invaded
the sacred precincts OF the New YORK
stock exchange"
This same financier's operations In
Icopper were rather more spectacular
than in zinc, as related by Mr.. Hough:
Three years ago the papers
throuehout the country were nlieu
with the advertisements OF the Union
Securities company, selling the stock
Of the Boston Greenwater copper
company. II was stated that the mine
had cost s2O0,0 and so much ore was
in sight that an .offer Of 100000 hao
been refused. The Union Securities
company, with Offices in New YORK
and Goldfeld. Nevada. started the
stock at forty-fve cents and lifted IL
to a dollar. IL was merely another
name for John Grant Lyman. Not
only d,d the Union Securities company
sell the stock to the public, but II also
offered Il 10 brokers at thirty-seven
and one-haR cents, on their guarantee
that il would not be sold by them at
less than forty.five cents. The brok-
ers began getting contracts for the
stock and then we're told that the
Union Securities company was all sold
out.
shortly thereafter, confederates OF
Lyman came to these brokers and
offered stock to them at fifty cents a
share: and the Union Securities COM
pany at the same time telegraphed
the brokers that 1t wanted all the
shares II could get at sixty cents.
That forced the brokers TO buy OF con-
federates; but when they shipped on
the stock to the Union Securities COM
pany, expecting To get sixty cents a
share for it, Lyman was gone. II had
not cost him much. He owed the

GREENWOOD A BUSY CITY.

The merchants of Greenwood
have passed over the restless days
of the summer months, and, from
all appearances, are enjoying a
handsome patronage. Tho doors
of the stores and Offices are no
longer filled with small groups,
mumbling and grumbling over this
and that, and the little stool out in
front has been moved in.
Cotton selling from Is and l6
cents up to IS and 26 cents has en-
couraged the farmers to market
their cotton freely, aud the money
is being spent as fast as the staple
is marketed. Old obligations are
being settled and improvements are
being INDUCED in. Extensive shop
ping is being done for fall and
winter supplies, and the hustline
merchants are, at times, seen whist
ling a prosperous air.
It's always joyous in Greenwood
but the pickup in business circles
enhances the good feeling, and
makes US all stick up to the slogan.
hat Greenwood's the best town on
the map.
Jump in the water and grab your
share of the business. It's falling
in Jumps now, and no one but your
self is to blame if you don't gel
what's coming to you. Keep up the
standard of Greenwood's markets
buy the best you can in as large
quantities as you can. and you viii
have lots to be thankful for or
Thanksgiving Day, and a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Yeal
will be your lot.

the "PAYIT.TO DAY" HABIT.

ALI mercantile houses have an
established rule to pay their month
~ bills on certain stated days OF
each month, and those houses en-
forcing such a rule always dispose
of the outstanding obligations pre-
sented for payment.
Some firms have the habit of pay
ing a bill Experimentation
suiting their own convenience and
i unconscious of the Inconvenience to
which the bill collector is put. They
forget that the party to whom they
are indebted favored them with
credit, and oftentimes lose all tht
profit in collecting same.
There are certain times when /;
man or firm are compelled to stanc
off an obligation. and this is excu
sable. But the habit of standing
it off because you are too busy t.
give a check, or because you wan
to hear the coin jingle a few day
longer in your jeans, is of mucl
detriment to a town. 1t imposes
hardship, inasmuch as it general.

SCOUT AFTER THE FACTORIES.

We must admit that our Business
League has not been active enough
in their attempts to locate factories
in Greenwood.
It is evident all over the State
that, as time draws on, money and
enterprise are drifting towards the
South. The high cost of living
and the congested state of condi-
tions in the North and East are
driving manufactures to the South
and the Southwest.
Glimpses at the daily papers that
come into our city tell Us that fac
tories r being located all over onr
State. To our own certain knowl-
edge, Greenwood hasn't captured g
single factory in several months.
Greenwood offers all kinds Of
attractive propositions to induce
factories to locate here. and we SEE
no reason why the Business League
doesn't get on the jump and bag E
few. We need them badly now
and will need them worse in two O
three years. So, while the "goin.
good" we had better get busy anC
land a few of these plums.

An important election falls due

SERVE ON THE JURIFS.

Next week begins the Novem-
Der Term of Circuit Court, which
means that a great deal of jury
service will be needed.
This is a phase of duty that has
been seriously neglected by the
people all over the State, and it
has become the fad with many of
us to at once hunt up an excuse
to keep from serving upon the
jury when summoned.
The law cannot be properly
enforced and justice cannot be
meted out until we have efficient
juries, and there is not a more
effective way of showing ones
patriotism than to serve upon a
jury when called.
If your name is on the list for
the approaching term, do your
duty by answering promptly and
fulfilling your duty as a good citi-
zen. Do no neglect this duty
and get off without serving your
county in this way. Unless you
answer with service, it means q
delay and more expense upon the
county.
By all means show your loyalty
and serve.

tucked full Of fair reports, and
every town and county wherein
they have been held know the fair
to be 1T, and that they are the
most potent factor in building up q
cImmunity. It may be safely said
that at least one third of the coun-
ties in the state have held fairs,
and from reports not a failure has
appesred.
Nothing helps more to build up
. community than a county fair.
1t them the very best selection of
agricultural products of a COM

stock are made, displays of handi-
work are exhibited, and a friendly
rivalry created that results in i'm
proved methods in farming and
other urban industries.
Many counties over the state that
are small and lack the territory
from which to draw exhibits and
other features, have joined hands
with sister counties, and as q result
several big tri county fairs have
scored a grand success the pas
month.
It's not characteristic of Green
wood to lag behind, but along this
line the people are subject to crit

THE MISSISSIPPI
/. BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Greenwood viii be Full of BaptfstS
Next Week.

Greenwoodis full of enthusiasm
in its preparation for the great
Baptist Convention, which meets
here next week.
The Minister'S Conference meets
at 10 a. m. TUESDAY,, November 1,
at the First Baptist Church, and
will hold sessions morning, after
noon and night of that day.
The Woman's Mission Union
meets at 7:3O .. m. on the above
date at the Methodist church, and
will hold its sessions Tuesday eve
ming and Wednesday morning,
afternoon and night.
The main convention of the
body meets Wednesday, the End,
at 10 a. m, in the First Baptist
church, and will hold three meet
ings each day for from four to
six days. The time of adjourn
ment will depend upon when the
convention completes its work.
The Minister'S Conference, the
Woman's meeting and the con-
vention have their constituency
throughout the whole State OF
Mississippi. The membership OF
the Baptist churches represented
in this convention is said to be
more than 10000.
The messengers and visitors al
the convention, which met in
Winona last year, numbered more
than 600. and it is thought that
there will be a larger attendance
at Greenwood this year.
While the convention takes nc
action which is binding upon the
local churches of this denomina
ton, it discusses all the mission
and benevolent interests in which
the churches are engaged, and
recommends to these churches
what they consider the most need
full causes and the best methods
of doing the work. The conven-
ton is really an Advisory Coun-
Gil Of the representatives of the
churches throughout the State
Some of the interests which
usually receive attention are: For.

nifty Of entertaining this body
and, Of course, as is always the
case with Greenwood, she expects
to see that her guests are wei
