they enjoy life and the good things
which make it up; they have the habit
of talking up new enterprises, but this is
not native habit and really means
little. New enterprises with them
means pecan culture or something

in the hunting season quail and wild

Colonel Aston of Tampa, who as
a delegate from Florida to the Bull
NooScvelt convention in Chicago last
week was thrown out because he was
colored man, was received by his
home people OF Tampa on his return
with brass band, and otherwise given
an ovation. For day or two Colonel"
Aston was unable TO determine where
he was at politically; certainly he would
not support the man who had given
him the knock out blow, and as for
Taft, well-thcrc was nothing doing.
The Colonel has finally decided in
favor of Wilson and democracy 1t
was the only logical thing for him TO do
The only consistent thing. The demo.
cratic party is the only party that has
been honest with the negro in the south
II has told him plainly and in law that
he could have no part in the manage
ment OF the party-Could not participate
in IFS conventions or primaries, nor
expect nomination 10 office in it,
He was citizen and a voter, and as
long as he complied with the law requi-
ring registration and payment of poll
tax, no obstacles would be put in the
way of his free exercise of the franchise
And there hasn't been, at least, not in
Florida. The Palatka News cannot but
commend the action of Colonel Ais
ton in deciding TO throw the weight of
his influence among the colored people
of Florida in favor OF the democratic
parly-the only party in the United
States that has not practiced hypocracy
in lis dealings with the negro.

MASON VALLEY PLANT
TREATS SOC TONS DAILY

Until within the past two weeks
Ely was the only producer of copper
of note in the state, but now that
the smelter Il Mason has gone into
divide the honors with that newer
camp in the western part Of the
state. The new smelter has ca
pacity to treat 500 tons of ore daily,
and will probably turn out a million
and half pounds of copper per
month, while the ely district vii
turn out between five and seven mil
lion pounds. The Mason plant will
treat all custom ores, which will
prove great benefit oall mines
in that section of the state as it
vii! save transportation charges, and
give new life to mining. The profits
derived from the treating of Gus
tom ores by the Mason smelter will
materially reduce the costs of treat
ing its own ores, which is now fig
ured at cents net a. the smelter,
which, with the metal now selling at
above II cents leaves nice margin
of profit for the company. 1t is es-
timated that Mason Valley has L.
900 900 tons of 3.75 per cent copper
ore blocked out in its mine, which
is fairly good start ahead Of a
small smeler, The company also
has contract to treat the ores of
the Nevada Douglas. hence there
would seem to be no good reason
why the plant should not be contin.
+ ued in steady operation for many
years to come. The commencement
of operations by this smelter will ma
terially Increase the mineral output
Of the state for the present year.
