STOCKS ARE UNDER
CONTROL OF BEARS
Depression of Prices Is Attrib-
uted to Speculation
DEALINGS ARE LARGER
Dissatisfaction Is Expressed BY Some
Railroad Men with Rate Condi-
lions and the Copper Trade
Is Very Unsettled

New York, June 10.-The 1anguor OF
the demand for stocks which began to
be manifest yesterday prompted a re-
newal of operations for the decline
today on a moderate SCALE. The vol
ume of the dealings expanded over
those of yesterday, but only to slight
extent. The rumors of the identity
of the sellers Indicated the suspicion
now rife in the speculation that a
purpose to depress prices for profit fur
nshe ed the leading motive for the SELL
ing.
The depression was ascribed to dis
satisfaction with the railroad rate sit
nation and to the condition in the cop
per trade. The selling of the Coppers
was attributed to large extent to
Boston and foreign sources, and 1t had
as explanation the accumulation of
surplus stocks of the metal still go

price of the metal today and a feel
Ing OF encouragement over the sus-
tanned rate of production of the metal

The selling of United States Steel
at the same time was an influence on
sentiment. The recent decline on
the stock, which was all recovered yes
terday, was more than lost again to-
day. The selling of the metal stocks
was made to appear as though coming
from the financial party which has been
credited with maintaining an attitude
of discomfort with the railroad rate
agreement with the government.
ST. Paul in the. meantime was less
conspicuous under pressure today than
on previous days this week. The prog
ress of railroad bills through the con-
ference committee of the two houses
of Congress is watched with solicitude.
The arrival of the bill at this stage

H NOT AN ISSUE

Someone ought to tell the Argus
Leader and the Aberdeen News that
Dick Richards is not a candidate for q
state or congressional office. Tell them
that Dick refused to run for governor.
They seem to think that he is a candi
date for something big, as the col
umns of their respective papers are
daily full of personal abuse of Mr..
Richards; every stalwart speaker and
even Candidate Egan are using Mr.,
Richards for their text, and abusing
and incorporating Mr.. Richards from
the platform. Why all this personal
attack upon a private individual who is
not a candidate for either a state OF
congressional Office.
The Argus Leader should tell its
cuckoos that the real reason it is at.
lacking Richards is. that Dick refused
to be a tail to the stalwart kite and
announce himself for governor so as
to help the stalwart candidate. Up ia
the time Mr.. Richards declined to run
for governor he was a tine fellow. AT
ter that he suddenly became a ogue
in the estimation of the Argus and
News and their respective cuckoos
Candidate Egan might also better
spend his time telling the "dear plain
people, what he would do for them in
the vent that he should by any hook
or crook fall heir to the governor,
chair, than in spending his time abus
ing Richards whom he only a short
time ago, in the columns Of his paper,
Landed to the skies. There is a reason
Dick refused to support Egan and still
refuses. Dick refused to support FL
rod and still refuses. Hence the Argus
the News and the Egan abuses. Dick
must be quite a moral force in politics
since he attracts so much abuse. The
apple tree bearing the best fruit has
always the most clubs thrown at it.

his own picture ON the front page "a

letter to the voters for support, using

1t is fair to presume that Burke is
appealing TO progressive republicans as

conference he said; 81 don't want
any insurgent votes, if l can't be

RICHARDS VS.. ARGUs-LEADER
Huron, S. D., April 9th, 1910.

Huron, 5. D., April 9th, 1910.
Word has been received here by
Gardner, Fairbanks and Churchill, at
torneys for R. o. Richards in his libel
suit of $4,000 against the Argus
Leader Company for making false and
defamatory statements; that the Ar
g~us-Leader has appealed from the de-.
cision Of the lower court denying its
motion to squelch service.
Judge Jones of the End circuit re-
Gently decided that the Argus-Leader
Co. was properly served in Court and
that the technical plea Of distinction
between Argus-Leader Co, and Argus
Leader Company, two corporate names
used to hold the same property, vas
not well taken and the case was there
fore ordered placed on the calendar for
trial at the April term of court.
A motion to appeal from this order
is now made by the attorneys for Edi.
tor Day. This third effort at delay
clearly shows that the Argus-Leader
fears to go to trial before the primar-
les so as to not give Mr.. Richards a
chance to prove in court the falsity
of the charges published against him
by Editor Day; also that the intent
of Mr.. Richards letters to Senator
Gamble dated in 1907, written in the
interest of Senator Crawford's cam
psign, from which private correspon
dence contorted excerpts is now being
furnished the Argus Leader with the
evident intent to injure Mr.. Richards,
would prove a boomerang to the stall
wart cause. Hence, Editor Day pre-,
fers to go to the Supreme Court, on q
technical point, rather than go to trial.

This writer was fortunate enough to
procure for a neighbor and himself a
few hundred fine strawberry plants cheap.
They are of the knowledge Variety, and
we will tell those householders who read
the Brandon News, that if they wish a
few for home use and luxury, they can
procure them from the Branch Expert
mental Station at Holly Springs, c. F.
Ames, Supt., at so cents per 100, or $3.50
per 1000, postage or express to be added.
Notwithstanding the fact that this de-
licious berry is not marketed so extern
sively now as few years ago, still it
is an enjoyable table luxury and good for
health yet; and families miss them much
when they are lacking What is nicer
and more attractive than for the beautiful
belle of the home to invite her beau out
of an afternoon to the berry rows, pick,
eat and say sweet nothings, to each other,
as the rest of the folks quietly chatting
in the parlor oblivious of the sweet heart
that between Jane and Cholly over the de-
licious little red acid sweets?

FLORENCE NEWS.

The Florence correspondent of The
Brandon News would invite any and
every family in the town to inform him
of any society events occurring in their
midst. He cannot gather information with
out visiting around and making inquiries
and he is not paid to do that nor even
for writing for the town. 1t is to the in
terest of the little city that it be kept
before the public eye that the business
and social world may know that we are
a live people; that we are good and
well-behaved citizenship; that we have
energetic, industrious, accommodating and
clever business men; that we have two
of the best churches in the state, with
two among the best ministers to be had
anywhere; and that we have not only
among the best social, moral and
religious set of men and women as citizens,
but we also have one of the best schools
in Mississippi We want the outside
world to know that Florence is one of the
incest and cleverest places to have a
quiet home in, and that people of the
best society are frequent visitors here;

We feel it we'll to say to our rural
route patrons that the Postofice Depart
ment has lately ruled that on and after
February Is, the rural carriers will not
be required to lift from the mail boxes
on their routes loose coins placed therein
for the purchase of stamps and money
orders. IF you wish the carrier to take
up any monies you drop with your I'M
stamped letter into the box, enclose the
Gnoney in a small envelope, or wrap it
and tie it in piece of paper for handi-
ness in picking up. What is better still, is,
get lot of stamps at one time and have
them handy at home to stick to your
letters at first 1t is quite hardship on
the carrier to be stopping at boxes on cold
days, his fingers already cold, pull off
his gloves to try to lift up the several
coins freezing his fingers the more, be-
sides delaying him on his route. Re
member, people, you don't have to pay
a cent towards putting the carrier on the
postage on the matter you mail. That
is all the expense to you. Share your
faithful, patient carrier all the pains and
discomforts you can. Don't forget this,
and don't forget that you will have no
cause to feel offended if he declines to
lift up your loose coins in your box after
Feb rr Tt will then he q rule from
Washington to be observed. The three
routes out of Florence have three of the
best, politest and most accommodating car
riers in Mississippi, and Christian men of
families, at that Treat them well, for
fhey give you cheer and do you good as
they do.
