JUST A RACIAL REGULARITY
Theory That Left-Handed People Arc Mentally Inferior Has Been
 Proved to Be Wrong.

For ages the belief has prevailed that left-handed persons are physical ly and mentally inferior. This belief has persisted in face of the fact that not a few great men, including among others Leonardo da Vinci, have been left-handed
 German scientists, however declare there Is absolutely no evidence to sup port the theory that some relation exists between left-handedness and mental or physical defects. It is 8 racial or family peculiarity which is found among animals as we'll as hu- man beings.
 Left-handedness is often left-sided- ness, the entire side of the body show ing evidences of a greater develop ment on that side. In the brutes the preponderance of one or the other half of the body may vary according to race. Thus the gibbon and ourang- outang are as a rule right-handed; the gorilla and chimpanzee left handed
 In the Germany army seven recruits in every hundred are left,handed; among the school children the per centage is slightly higher. These fig ures, however, are very deceptive. for many persons who are born left handed later become right-handed. The number so born in Germany is estimated at 26 per cent.

Classifying the Owl.

A lady recently selecting a hat at a milliner's, asked cautiously:
 ''Is there anything about these feathers that might bring me into trouble with the Bird Protection so- ciety?"
 "Oh, no, madam?' said the milliner.
 But did they not belong to some bird?" persisted the lady.
 Well. madam" returned the mill liner. pleasantly, these feathers are feathers of howl; and the howl, madam, seein' as 'ow fond he is of mice, is more of cat than a bird"

 INTERESTING LETTER
Former Nevada County Citizen Writes About Conditions in TeXas-Says Crop of Cotton Largest in
 History of Texas.

Editor News:
 The first rain to damage open cot ton fell here on Oct. 23 and "A, when 4 inches or more fell in about "A hours over most all west Texas country. Down in central Texas about Dallas and Fort Worth no rain of any conse- quence was reported.
 About half of the cotton crop here is still in the boil and large per cent of the bolls are unmatured. While we have had light frosts cotton is still green and blooming. Nothing has been killed up to this time, Nov. 1st. We still have good eating water mel ons on the vine. If you will step over Mir. Editor, we will carve 30 or 40 pound Tom Watson. It isn't but about $40 miles from Prescott out here.
 have been raised in the cotton and have seen several, what we called, bumper cotton crops back in Arkan- sas, but 1 have to confess that l have never seen such a heavy yield as there is here this season-so much made to the team and hand-Fifteen to twenty five bales to the team is not uncom- mon. Myself and brother J. F. Gar rett, besides gathering a bumper feed crop will get, if it all opens and we ever get it picked, about 35 bales of cotton, and near neighbor with the assistance of two little boys will make 40 and maybe 30 bales besides feed enough to do him two years if not wasted About half of the cotton crop has been gathered to date and owing to the fine weather up to last week, that has prevailed, the most of it is of a very high grade. 1 spent two days the past week in Dallas taking in the state Fair. It is indeed a great show had heard it said that Texas had the largest and best State Fair in the Union and after seeing it 1 don't doubh the statement.
 To me the Star attraction there was Lincoln Beachy, the worlds most dar- ing aviator, who at great altitude loops the loop and fys upside down in Biplane. saw him make three flights each day on the 24th and 25th. On the latter date, Sunday evening, he reached such an altitude that he and machine was obscured sometimes by the clouds. The Fair Association. 1 am told gave him check at the end of each day for 5000 and as he made flights days during the Fair, he made $4000
 While in Dallas 1 had the pleasure of going through the great Stores of Sears Robuck & Co.,, and the huge printing plant of the Dallas News and then over in Fort Worth, I went through the great packing house of Swift & Co. The places were all of great interest to me

Notice to Contestants

We wish to thank the Contestants in
the Merchants Contest which closes
tonight for their efforts and enthus-
iasm, and also to let you know how
much we appreciate the fairness in
which the contest has been conducted
by both merchants and contestants.
1t is the wish of this company to
cor Iuct all contests with absolute fair
ness. To do so we have to make rules
Il 1t to some do not seem fair. For
inst&Lce, it has come to our notice
chat some of the contestants wish to
withdraw from the contest and give
their votes to other contestants.
This can only be done in the follow
ing manner. If you have any votes
en- which there are no names you can
give them to whom you please, but if
the votes have been cast, or if there
is name written on the vote, it must
go to the contestant whose name first
appears on the coupon. To make il
plain, if there is one name erased or
crossed out the vote will not be count
ed. VOTES ARE NOT TRANSFER
RABLE
We trust the contestants will see
the fairness of this ruling. Put your
self in the place of a contestant who
has worked throughout the contest and
whose efforts have made her the win
ner up to the last. Is it fair foS
other contestants TO combine against
her? We think not. Therefore this
ruling.
We want to make this contest finish
without any hard feelings among the
contestants and the only way to ac-
complish this end is for every one to
abide by the rules and make the con-
test absolutely impartial in every re-
spect.
Please accept our thanks fer max
ing for US one of the most successful
contests ever run by us.
Wishing all success, we are sincere

Held
upon SUSPICION
KILLING MATHEWS
STOMACH OF DEAD NEGRO
Will Be Analysed In Hunt
For Cause

Suspicious circumstances attending
the death here recently of Elijah Ma
thews, an Americas negro, has resulted
in the detention of his wife, Matte
Mathews, and mutual friend, one
Charlie Brown, until the stomach of
the dead negro can be analysed by
the state chemist for traces of sus-
pected poison. The case has created
greatest interest and excitement among
relatives and friends of Mathews in
Americas.
Mathews died Wednesday, and the
circumstances surrounding his death.
it is said pointed to possible poisoning.
The arrest of Matte Mathews and
Charlie Brown followed
The stomach of the dead negro was
at once removed and prepared for
Shipment TO the state chemist in AT
lanta. 1t was said yesterday, however,
that the county authorities would not
defray the expense of the examination,
except under certain conditions, and
at late hour the negro's stomach was
still held here until the funds neces-
sary to defray the cost of analyses,
etc, had been guaranteed.
In the meantime the man and wo-
man in Jail will probably be he'd for
the grand jury, unless admitted to bail
upon some charge other than that of
murder.

self. This work, however, has been
done to prospect the property thor
oughly and has not been confined in
any one place.
The work done on the leases own
ed by the Carrara Mining e Milling
Leasing syndicate consists of two in
cline tunnels, one about seventy feet
in depth and the other about ninety
feet, with several cross-cuts. The
higher grade ore taken from the
leases was shipped in carload lots
and gave returns of from $50 to
$116 to the ton in gold. In doing
this work ore that u less than $50
to the ton was left on the dump, and
there is today a considerable work
ings, besides the high grade ore
which has now been opened in three
different places.
All the preliminary work has been
done on the leases, the roads have
been built, the 200-ton ore bin is
completed, as we'll as about $50 feet
of ore chutes to the bin. Track has
been laid and active work is now 60
ing on in following the high grade
ore just uncovered. If the present
high grade ore continued for any
distance it means a boom to C~arrara
and it won't be long until Bare

tors, for there is undoubtedly other
