The Troublesome mine on Winnie

Black Hawk, has been leased to R.
G. Griffith of this city and Messrs.
VIM. Cobine, Homer Wisecup and B.

began operations Monday morning
and are going to continue the drifts
and slopes ON the 300-foot level,
where large bodies of ore have here
tofore BEEN extracted. They will al
SO sink the shaft another 100 feet
and drift both east and west through
the ore shoots that show at the 300
foot level. This mine, to its present
depth has produced large quantities
Of a good grade ore, and the 400 lev

AMONG THE MINES
COPPER TAX is UNJUST

In all probability the tax ON cop
per will be unconstitutional, but more
than that, it would be so unjust that
: the senate is not likely to permit 1t
to stand in the bill.
There is no more excuse for in
Guiding copper under the heading OF
munitions of war than there Is in
cluding cotton or foodstuffs. Mere
prosperity of an industry certainly is
not sufficient cause for discrimina-
tory taxation. Copper does not enter
into the manufacture of munitions
any more than steel, lead, antimony,
aluminium, quicksilver or zinc. Amy
OF these ingredients of munitions
might have been taxed under the
same Bpecdous argument.
The revenue bill, however, not
only hits copper once, but three
times. Under the terms of the house
measure, as sent to the senate by
the house, the refiner must pay a
tax on the gross receipts OF his bus
mess; then the alloyer must pay.
In all probability there would be a
go taK paid by the refiner, another
go paid by the alloyer and still an
other tax of 40 paid by the mum
tons maker.
Since taxation at the present time
seems inevitable, it is fer the SEN
ate to see to it that there is no
injustice or unfaimess. Copper tax
has no place in the revenue-raising
bill. 1t is understood the senate will
eliminate the tax.-Washington Post

VlRGINLt.N 0N TRIAL
 F0R MURDER OF WOMAN
Alleged Canter Brothers, One of Whom Has Been ElectrOcuted.
 Assaulted Bride.

Abingdon, Va, May 29.-In the Washington county circuit court here today James Canter was arraigned to stand trial for the second time on a charge of complicity in the murder of Mrs. Maude Wilson, for which crime one of Canter's brothers was electrccuted last June, while sec- ond brother is still awaiting trial.
 The murder of Mrs. Wilson was one of the most heinous ever commit ted in this section. The victim Of the tragedy, a bride of few weeks, was assaulted in her home in broad daylight, held prisoner for hours, and finally she was brutally murder ed. James Canter, who had formerly worked for the Wilson family, was suspected and was arrested. It was testified that he had on more than one occasion stated that he loved the woman.
 With excitement high and a lynch ing threatened, Luther Canter, an elder brother of James, and was not even suspected of connection with the crime, assumed all responsibility, ex- onerated his brother of any connec- ton with the crime, and expressed himself as ready and willing to pay the penalty. The younger brother was still held, however, because he had made conflicting statements, and was tried as an accomplice.
 Although Luther Canter was con- victed largely upon his own confes- sion and sentenced to die, the Jury did not accept his exoneratlon or ms brother and returned verdict against James Caeater of murder ln the first degree. Luther Canter was electrocuted last June, but James Canter took an appeal, and after sev- eral respites by the governor, his sen tence was reversed by the supreme court of appeals, on the ground thai the evidence was insufficient to sus. tain a verdict of murder in the first
 degree. In his new trial James Can
 ter is to be defended by several em1
 nent lawyers of Bristol, despite tht l fact that he is without friends ol l money. The lawyers, believing in hi
 innocence, volunteered to assist il
 his defense. I Recently new turn was given tt I the case by the arrest of William T Canter, a third brother, on a charg' 5 of having been concerned in the mur :, der of Mrs. Wilson. He is being hel'
 in the jail at Bristol and will b. tried later

poses, but the cake is used for food for livestock and the plant itself TOT fodder. There is also the consequent enrichment of the soil by inoculation with nitrogen from the air. Sudan grass, sure forage crop under most trying conditions of heat and drought. finds increasing favor in the eyes or the Oklahoma farmers, with conse- ouent increased acreage. In eastern Arkansas alfalfa is familiar sight, where twenty years ago it was almost unknown. This is true in large meas ure of many sections of Mississippi.
 "There is more livestock today cattle and hogs--in the South, more poultry of all kinds, more dairy cows than for great many years, the committee says finally. "The sinister and forbidding situation which ush- cred in 1915 has been completely transformed by the common sense and intelligence displayed, the self-denisl practiced, and the fortitude shown by the Southern people. Agricultural
 and consequently all industrial and commercial, interests throughout the Southern states are upon a sure1 and more solid foundation than ever before in the history of the country.

 MT. Horner's first interview with Miss Proctor was just as Interesting as her appearance will be here on the chautauqua this summer. When he showed her one or two of the circulars that he had of companies recently organized, Miss Proctor's only remark was "What rotten costumes" He asked her if she could improve them and she said she could and told him how. Andvshe has been doing it ever since. Not only has she been telling the members of these companies how to get and.- wear their costumes but she has been drawing on her educa- tion and experience in showing them how to do a lot of other things well. All of her knowledge and ingenuity is wrapped up in the work that will be done this summer right here on our own Chautauqua.

Then she took tnr:, at list ing tickets and then back again to lla:ferm work as member ot one If the lyceum companies that was through this part of the country sev- eral years ago.
