A HIGHER PRICE THAT IS WEL-
 COME.

When Nome calls upon Fair banks to join in a protest against the new mining law which was passed by the Alaska legislature, it is doubtful if Fairbanks will respond. The new mining law is largely the work of Fairbanks mining men, and carries out ideas which the miners here have long entertained as sound. The privilege of stalking 150-acre as sociation claims has been so grossly abused in iNterior Alas ka, and the abuse has resulted in longtime idleness on such vast areas of placer lands, that there has crystallized a strong senti- mdnt against :large holdings without active development. Whether a greater amount of annual labor should be required on 160-acre association claims which have been located hereto fore, remains a matter for argu- ment. There is something to be said on both sides, although the burden is upon those who oppose the increase.
 It is. mistake, however, to take it for granted that all those who hold interests ill l6O-acre association claims are hostile to the provision of the new law, which requires $lOO worth of an- nual labor to be performed for every 20 acres of every placer claim. Many owners of interests in such claims welcome the new requirement.. In nearly every as sociation of men wh own an as sOciatiOn claim there are some who desire to open up and devel- op the supposed paystreak ill the claim. They are unable to go ahead because the majority re- fuse to. assist. The majority of the owners did not in the first place cause the claim to be stalk ed for them with the idea of de- veloping the claim, but generally in the hope of selling for a large sum of money. While awaiting sale, they contribute their $l2.5O share toward the annual labor re- quired to hold the claim; but eight times this amount can ac- complish so little in the way of developing the claim that the money is absolutely wasted. The new law calls for the eXpendi- lure of $500 in annual labor on every 16O-acre association claim. Eight hundred dollars year will go far toward developing any claim. That is why many work ing miners who hold interests III 16O-acre claims welcome the new law.--Fairbanks Times.

CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
Two Negroes Bound Over to Court
in Hampton County.

Brunson, Sept. 10.-An interesting
preliminary hearing was held here
Yesterday before local Magistrate
Bowling.
On Sunday a salesman of dry goods
was accosted by two negro men, Dex
Saxson and Jake Young, on the pub
lie highway, assaulted and robbed, &C
cording to the testimony of the plain
tiff. While Saxson held the peddler
and placed an open knife against his
throat, Young took goods from the
wagon, butprevented Saxson from do
ing other harm than striking the man
in the face.
Deputy Sheriff Lightsey and Con-
stable Cleland hastened to the scene
of the difficulty, about five miles dis
tant, and first found Jake Young,
who hastily secured gun and held
at bay for time the two officers.
His capture, however, was soon made,
and after arresting the negro Saxson
without difficulty, brought both
prisoners in and presented them for
trial. The magistrate, after a care
full hearing, bound both over for ap-
pearance at court in October.

Unfairness of Newspapers.

The Bamberg Herald writes about
the unfairness of newspapers not on
ly in politics but toward persons or
interests they do not favor, and that
paper affirms that they will take ad-
vantage of any incident and attempt
to distort and twist it to full disad-
vantage. Alas this is true of not a
few newspapers, but it must be re-
membered that a newspaper is the
mouthpiece of it's editor and that if
the editor of a paper is sordid and
mean and slanderous in heart the
paper he edits will be likewise. Out
of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh. We are glad to
note there are papers in the State ur-
willing to lend their influence to evil
and SANDER. One of DR.. Carlisle's
aphorisms was, Verify your facts. !"
How few comparatively there are who
heed this! How many there are who
back biteth with his tongue, doeth
evil to his neighbor, and taketh up
a reproach against his neighbor. -

AMAZONS ASKED NO FAVORS.
Women in Dahomeyan Army Were as
Formidable as Men.

An interesting account of the
proves of the Dahomeyan Amazons,
the female furies who fought the
French during their struggle with
the refractory King Behanzin, is Civ
en- by Mr.. Frederic Martyr in his
book, Life in the Legion The
author. a former English officer, en-
listed in the Foreign Legion Of
France, and saw sharp fighting both
in Tonkin and in Dahomey.
The turn of the Senegalese IT,
railleurs came next. A battalion OF
Amazons attacked them, and gave
them very rough time indeed, but
the Tirailleurs stood their ground
until reinforced by some marine in
fantry. Any one who is inclined to
sympathize with the Amazons on ac-
count of their sex can be assured that
their sympathy is misplaced. Those
young women were far and away the
best men" in the Dahomeyan army,
and woman to man we're quite a
match for any of us. They were
armed with Spencer repeating rifles,
and made much better use of their
carbines. For work at close quarters
they had a small, heavy-backed chop
ping sword, or knife, very mucn
like a South American machete.
They fought like unclaimed de-
mons, and if driven into corner,
did not disdain to use their teeth and
nails. A marine infantryman seized
and disarmed one of them in this
fight, but she was so far from being
beaten that she turned on her captor
and began to bite his nose off.
The uniform of these female war
riors was sort of killed divided
skirt of blue cotton stuff. The gar
ment barely reached to the knees. It
was supported at the waist by a
leather belt that carried the cart
ridge pouches. They wore little or
nothing above the waist, but on
their heads they wore coquettish
red fez, or tarboosh, ornamented
with an eagles feather. These wo-
men were all exceedingly we'll devel-
oped, and some of them were hand
some in their own way.

portunity of seeing them in action,
and we were much impressed with
their dash and gallantry. youths s

Man Lifting Magnet.

An interesting experiment was re-
Gently made at the works Of one OF
the large German manufacturing
firms with one of their lifting mag
nets. A chain secured to the ground
at one end and carrying an iron ball
at it's free end was raised to a YER
tical position by the approach of the
lifting magnet suspended from
crane, says Scientific American.
The chain throughout its length
remained in vertical position below
the magnet. A grown-up workman
climbed up the chain without dis
turbing it's rigidity. The chain SEEM
ed to float in air. The magnetic pull
on the ball was greater that the grav-
itational pull on the man.
This remarkable experiment shows
the enormous power of attraction eX-
erted on industrial lifting magnets as
used on an ever-increasing scale in
iron and steel works for the trans
port of iron materials of every de-
scription. In no other field of metal
lurgy are the economical advantages
of transport by electricity so con-
spic~ous as in connection with the
use of lifting magnets, which enable
the operator to seize the iron mate
rial at any point desired, conveying
it to any other point within the range
controlled by the crane. Incidental
ly, it should be noted that the use of
lifting magnets eliminates much of
the risk of accidents formerly con-
nected with manual transport and
the use of hand-operated cranes.
Cranes with lifting magnets are,
of course, used on large scale also
in connection with the loading and
unloading of railway wagons with all
sorts of iron material.

THE GNAT OF DEATH.
An Insect of Central Africa That Has
Cost Thousands of Lives.

Surgeon General Sir David Bruce,
head OF the Sleeping Sickness COM
mission which was sent to Central
Africa nearly two years ago, has re-
turned to England with Lady Bruce.
Sir David will remain in England a
few weeks before returning to Nyasa-
land, where the remainder of the
commission is still working. The
work will not be completed for an
other year.
The object of the commission is to
study the relationship of the Afri-
can fauna to the spread of the Sleep
ing sickness in that continent. The
work has been carried on in wild and
remote region in Angoniland, about
fifty miles from the shores of Lake
Nyasa, where the members of the
commission lived and worked in mos
quito-proof huts.
Lady Bruce took her regular turn
with the others in laboratory work.
Every precaution was taken, and Sir
David Bruce was the only member of
the party who suffered from fever.
The natives were regularly dosed
with quinine. Sir David Bruce finds
that the so-called sleeping sickness
in Nyasa-land is not the same as
that of Uganda of the West Coast,
although it belongs to the same cate
CORY.
1t is more rapid and even more
fatal. There has been no case of re-
covery. 1t is now established be-
yond doubt that the disease is car
ried by glossina morsitans, fly
which is widely spread over the
whole of Africa. Sir David Bruce's
work has been carried on in a pro-
claimed district of Nyasaland on the
eastern shore of the lake, extending
fifty miles from north to south and
twenty-five miles from east to west.
Animals were shot early in the
morning and specimens of the blood,
while perfectly fresh, we're carried
back by motor-bicycle to the labora
tory for examination. Half the wild
animals shot in the area were found
to be infected with sleeping sickness
in some form or other, and in all
probability the whole of them may be
said to be affected.
From this it will be safe to infer
that the commissioners are of opin-
ion that the game in these areas
should be regarded in the same light
as mad dogs, and destroyed as
standing menace to natives and
whites alike.
Sir David Bruce does not believe
that there is any danger of the dis
ease spreading. He is of the opin-
ion that it has probably been in these
areas from time immemorial, and
that it will never assume the terrible
proportions of the sleeping sickness
of the Congo or Uganda.-London
Chronicle.

Iowa Well Cultivated.

Iowa has 1S9,696 farm with to-
tai acreage of 30,914,17S acres. The
average size of an Iowa farm, ac-
cording to the most recent figures, is
1928 acres.
More acreage was devoted to corn
in 1912 than to any other grain crop,
the total acreage in corn being g.
420,434 acres. The total acreage in
pasture was S,96S,644. The total
acreage in oats last year was 4,S74,-
1872; the total acreage in winter
wheat was 497,93S acres, and in
spring wheat 3S9,371 acres. The
total acreage in barley was 3S9,410
acres. There was a big acreage in
tame hay, the total being 2,635,744
acres. The acreage of wild hay was
754,374, and the alfalfa acreage 49,
644. There was 120,035 acres in
potatoes.
More than 95 per cent of the land
of Iowa is in cultivation.' There is
no other state in the Union that has
such a large per cent of it's total area
in crops. Not alone is the acreage
large, but from one end of the state
to the. other the soil is fertile and
practically all of it is adapted to
growing varied crops-Kansas City

WILD HOGS OF LOUISIANA.
Novel Method of Capturing Ferocious
Beasts.

The wild hogs of Catahoula parish
are declared by natives of that part
of Louisiana to be among the most
ferocious and aggressive of beasts.
To capture them dogs are trained in
a special manner. The only other
thing required is a strong pen or
corral.
The start of hunt for drove of
hogs in the thick and tangled Cata-
houla woods is made by the dog. 1t is
his business to find the drove. After
that the hunting is all done by the
hogs, for they industriously pursue
the dog. The hunter himself does
nothing but sit on the corral fence
and wait.
Keeping always in mind the direc-
tion of the pen or corral, the dog goes
into the woods and fiushes drove of
wild hogs. Then he yelps out an ag-
gravating challenge which the hogs
instantly accept. They make furious
dash for the hated enemy and the
hated enemy turns tail and fees,
heading straight toward the corral,
and managing at all times to keep a
sufficient distance ahead of the angry
drove.
In their mad chase they follow him
through the open gate of the corral.
Then the dog speeds to the closed end
of the corral and nimbly jumps the
fence while the master of the hunt
lets himself down from his perch on
the fence, where he has been patient
ly waiting the outcome of the chase,
and shuts the gate on the entEapped
porkers.

MYSTERY SHROUDS ROBBERY.
Detectives Trying to Ferret Out Dis
appearance of $71, 900.


Savannah, Ga, Sept. 1.-Tonlght
q small army of detectives, special
agents and express company ottlclals
are working is an endeavor to ferret
out the mysterious disappearance OF
S71,90O from a portable safe en- route
from New York to Savannah. VI thls
amount, fifty thousand dollars was
consigned to the Savannah Bank ana
Trust Company, five thousand dollars
to the Real Estate Bank and Trust
COMPANY, and the remainder was des-
tined for banks in smaller cities IN
South Georgia and was to have been
reshipped from Savannah. A dozen
clues have been discovered, 1t was
stated tonight, but nothing tangible
has as yet been developed. The eS-
press company officials declined to
give out the nature of the clues OBJ
tanned and are extremely reticent in
discussing the affair.
J. B. Hockaday, of Atlanta, general
manager of the Southern Express
Company, and other officials are here
directing the search for the missing
money. Suspicion that the money had
been stolen was first aroused when
the Savannah Bank and Trust Com
pany failed to receive $4,000 in cur
rency shipped from the Chase Nation
al Bank, New York. They wired the
New York institution asking if the
money had been shipped. A reply
was received saying it had been sent
by the Adams Express Company and
was turned over to the Southern EX-
press Company by the former at Jer-
sew City. In the meantime porta bic
iron safe had been received at the
local Offices of the Southern Express
Company. The waybill was missing.
When the safe was opened only a
few packages of currency were found.
The seals on the safe were intact and
the key to the safe had been mailed
to the Savannah agent of the COM
pany. The Jersey City Office was COM
municated with and it was learned
that the safe, containing the curren-
cy, left that city Monday night over
the Atlantic Coast Line Railway.
Express messengers, who had
charge of the safe between New
York and Savannah, were given a
severe grilling by the officials and
rumors were current here this after
noon that an arrest was about to be
made, but this was denied by the
officials. Claim Agent Weaver was
hurriedly dispatched from the city
trict of South Carolina, to determine
is unknown.
It is stated that in the event the
money is not recovered the banks will
not be the losers, but the loss will
fall upon the express companies. The
money was in two packages. Local
police have not been called into the
case.
