Hotel Built on Gold Mine.

Eight years ago new hotel LAS
constructed in Helena, Mont, on Main
street which occupies the site of Last
Chance gulch where the placer miners
worked in the sixties and extracted
something like $30,o00,000. The con-
tractor who eXcavated for the founda-
ton hauled the ground away, washed
it in sluice boxes and made tidy sum
of money. It happened that the old
time placer miners didn't work the
ground thoroughly. There are large
areas of so-called placer ground in
various parts of Western Montana
which contain gold and which, accord
ing to report, might be profitable If
dredged on a large scale.-Chester C.
Davis, commissioner Of agriculture of
Montana, in Adventure Magazine.

FUEL RECEIVED BY
MISSOURI PACIFIC
Arrival of Coal Prevents
Probable Further Cur
tailment of Service.

Little Rock, Aug. Is Further
eurtailment of passenger service on
the Missouri Pacific railway in the
Southern district probably was avert
ed Wednesday, when the road re-
ceived train load of coal here from
an Eastern point, according to an
announcement from the office of
w. e. Brooks, general superintendent
of the road.
Before the coal arrived, the stock
on hand had dwindled to one day s
supply for the Southern division,
and three days supply for the Mem
phis division. Mr.. Brooks had an
nounced that unless shipment was
received here in the very near flu
ture, the company would be forced
to make a drastic cut in passenger
service, which probably would eff
feet the. fast through trains of the
road entering Little Rock.
It is believed, Missouri Pacific
officials said, that the road has
arranged for the movement of coal
owned by the Missouri Pacific in
Kentucky, and that daily shipments
will arrive here. although no orders
to that effect have been received

The ku Klux Khan question is
certainly playing huge part in
this years campaign. The khan ad-
mittedly has thousands of members
in Texas, as evidenced by the fact
that in nearly every county khan
candidates either led their fields
or ran close seconds and were either
elected in the first primary or are
in the "run-off" of tomorrow.
Khan Sheriff Elected.
AS evidencing the strength of
the khan in Jefferson county, it is
noted that Sheriff r. H. Garner,
who was ousted from office by an
instructed court verdict because of
his membership in the Ku KluX
Khan, which he frankly admitted,
and who was not permitted even to
give evidence in his own behalf in
the custer suit, was renominated
over two opponents in the July 81
primary.
In many cities anti-klan leagues
have been formed, notably in Dali
las. The league in Dallas is headed
by Nj. M. Crane, who, as Attorney
General, prosecuted Governor Fer
guson on impeachment charges in
connection with the alleged mis-
use of state funds in 1917. Fergu-
son was impeached, bat has always
contended he 'got a dirty deal
Crane and his following find them
selves in the rather unique position
of being anti-klan, and SO far as
Crane himself is concerned, also
anti-Ferguson.
The same question applies to the
various other political groups-the
Joe" Bailey following, which has
dwindled in the last few years; the
Cullen F. Thomas group, the Clar-
ence Ousley stalwarts, Bob" Henry's
'faithfuls,'' the Senator Culberson
! supporters and the adherentS OF Sen
ator Morris Sheppard, all with more
or less strong political followings.
Mayfield is Dry
If these "cliques" adhere closely
to their lifelong convictions neither
candidate Mayfield nor Ferguson
would seem to come up to t--sir re-
qurements. Mayfield might pass
muster as a dry" as against Fer
guson. On the other hand, Fergu-
son might be favored for his anti
/ khan views.
In the primary o. July 81 there
were approximately $4,000 votes
cast. Of this number Ferguson re-
ceived about 10000 an Mayfield

Negotiations Reach Crisis.
New York, Aug. 25.-Nego-
tiations for settlement of the
shipments strike reached a cri-
sis today. Before night it is
expected that a road for peace
will be cleared OF the efforts
Of the brotherhood mediators
will have failed. The brother
hood mediators, as result of
their efforts to bring about a
settlement, are making frequent
trips between the executives
headquarters at the Yale club
and the strikers headquarters.
Twenty railroads are repre-
sented in the present continued
peace efforts. If an agreement
is reached, it is hoped that 9th
er roads will follow as in the
adjustment of the coal strike.
The seniority question is still
the big stumbling block. B.
M. Jewell has reiterated that
even if an agreement is reached
with some of the roads it would
not, necessarily, mean an end
to the strike on those roads
entering the suggested agree
ment. Mr.. Jewell declared that
he was vet against ANYTHING
but a national settlement of the
strike.

(By International News Service)
Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. Is
Presumably undor pressure OF The
Washington government in its eff
fort to surb SO far as possible the
alleged smuggling OF liquor from
the British West Indies into the
United States the Jamaica govern
ment has become to all, intents and
purposes a policeman for Uncle Sam
for this colony and It's dependencies
the Cayman's Islands and Turks
| Island.
1t is an open secret that thou
sands OF cases of whiskcy, gin, ETC.,
were regularly shipped from Jamai-
ca to Nassau, Turks Island and
other nearby points, from which it
somehow or other made its way in
to the United States. But the local
government has just taken steps
which will put summary end to
all this rum running.
Excise Law Passed.
The first move was to pass law
that all liquor shipped in bond
whiskey and other spirits were al
ways sent away under bonds not
to be given the drawback until u
certificate of entry at the port or
destination had been received here.
Since the excise duty on whiskey,
sin and other distilled spirits is
very heavy this will put a stop to
great extont to the shipping of the
spirit, as the shippers viii be un-
able to get the rebate of duty un-
less they can prove that the goods
were actually delivered at the ports
TOR which they were destined On the
ships manifest.
Recently cargo Of gin, suffi-
cient to supply every man, woman
and child in Turks Island With
two bottles each, was shipped from
this port and, after being kept
there for some time, returned to
Jamaica and, so far as is known,
is here still
High Export Tax Also
But the latest and seVereSt move
against shipping alcohol from TINS
island is d new and prohibitiye OK
port tax passed by the Legislative
Council recently. 1t is so high that
there is little hope of those en-
gagged in the traffic here being able
to do business with points from
which the loquor would eventually
find its way into the United States;
and it is openly charged that this
new and drastic legislation has
been passed at the direct request
of the Washington authorities.
Jamaica has become Uncle
Sans Caribbean policeman" is a
slogan much in vogue here now,
and the Government does not deny
that the legislation is an attempt
to prevent liquor smuggling into
the United States The new legisla-
ton is bitterly resented, particu-
larly by seamen on the large num-

trade between Jamaica 6nd eastern
American ports. Liquor by the hun
dreds Of bottles was taken UP week
ly on many of these ships, as there
was no legislation to prevent sail
ors purchasing liquor and taking 1t
on board with them. Now they can
not do this unless they first pay a
heavy excise tax.

Campaign of Pyrothcchnics

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 25.--The run
off" campaign for the United States
Senatorial nomination between State
Railroad Commissioner Earle B.
Mayfield and former Governor
James f. Ferguson to determine
which shall oppose, in the Novem-
Der election, the candidate chosen
by the Republicans ended today and
voting will take place tomorrow.
The campaign has teemed with
bitter personal attacks by each can
didate upon the political and public
record of the other
Both, of course, have platforms,
but their campaign speeches have
been full Of ridicule and sarcasm
directed at one another.
The Mayfield platform was orig
inally one of opposition to the
Esch- Cummins Transportation act,
which he condemns in toto, saying
if elected he will devote his every
effort to the repeal OF that meas
ure and the return OF rate-fixing
power to the various states; de-
mand that there be no cancellation
of debts owed the United States by
foreign powers; favorable to the en-
forcement Of the Volstead prohibi-
tion law and 400 per cent Amer
icanism.''
Khan Supports Mayfield.
This latter plank is understood
to convey the idea that Mayfield is
not opposed to the IIu Klux Khan.

mary of July u and Ferguson, in

10000. That leaves $4,000 votes
if all go to the polls in the
run off"-to be divided between
Ferguson and Mayfield. The fact
that Mayfield led Ferguson by ap-
proximately 10000 votes in the
first primary is of small signifi-
canoe, according to political wise
acres, who point to the fact that
in the first primary in 1916 Sena-
tor Culberson received but $1,000
votes as against 10000 for Oscar
B. Colquitt, while in the "run-off'
Culberson ran his total up to 1884,
900, while Colquitt dropped to a.
900.
Ferguson is a ''Wet."
With the strength of the Ku
Klux Khan a matter of connective
and the popularity of Ferguson S
wet" views equally problematical,
a forecast of the result of tomor-
rows primary would seem out of
the question. Should Mayfield be
nominated it will be construed as
khan victory. Should Ferguson be
successful it probably will be con-
strued as victory for the ''wets."
Considerable interest attaches to
the primary in the Seventeenth
Congressional District, where Con-
gresham Thomas L. Blantcn is
seeking denomination. In the July
primary it was at first reported
that BlantOn had been renominated
over his three opponents, but the
official count showed he lacked 3S4
votes of being successful. 1t will
be recalled that Congressman Blan-
ton came very close to being ex-
PEELED from the House of Representa-
tives because of Objectionable mat
tiers which he caused to be printed
in the Congressional Record. Blan-
ton will be opposed by Oscar Gala

STRENGTH OF Ku KIux Khan Will Be
Tested in Texas ''Run-OH'' Primary

Henry, former Congressman, who
stated openly he was a member of
the Khan, charged conspiracy at
the last moment to turn the khan
vote to Mayfield instead of to him
self.
Fergusons platform, according to
those who differ with him, is sim
ply wet and for the "closed shop
as against the open shop in in
dustry.
Mavfield has ridiculed Ferguson
claims to being an outspoken advo-
cate of organized labor, saying Fer
guson never did anything for the
laboring man except with his
mouth" while his own record on
labor questions is above reproach.
Ferguson retorts that Mayfield' S
record as a prohibitionist VIII not
stand the acid test and has told on
numerous occasions a tale OF how,
according to Ferguson, Mayfield ad-
mitted to him that he had joined,
in his wife's name, club IN
Austin, where liquor could be Sc
cured, using his wife's name that
his own 'dry" record might remain

Cooperation, the Forerunner of
Prosperitv

1t is generally conceded that when farmers Of
community prospers all lines of business in that
section prOspers 1t is to the interest Of the mer-
chants bankers and others to assist the farmers in
every way possible to get the most convenient mar
ket for his products and the highest cash price.
The farmer, too, must cooperate with movements
that are to his interest. He must grow what a
market has been provided for and organize so that
his products may be market with efficiency and at
the lowest cost for transportation, handling etc.
One deplOrable reason for low prices of farm
products and high prices of manufactured products
is that the state of Georgia has not learned to trade
at home. For instance, cotton mills buy cotton
from New York firm that was grown in Georgia,
make cloth and sell it in China, then our people buy
the same product manufactured in Massachusetts
and Grand Rapids.
When our people learn to manufacture, use and
trade in Georgia products more at home it will Gre
ate better market for farm products and cut down
the cost of manufactured goods imported from dis
tant states

What is your home life? Is it one of unity or sep

home for their amusements and pleasures, or can
they stay at home with their parents, and keep the
family circle intact?
The new wonder Of the century-Radio, has fur
nshed way for the parents to combat the tendency
of the younger generation go outside the home for
their amusements. There is not redblooded Am
erican boy that is not interested in trying some
thing new; that does not get thrill when he ven
lures in to the unknown. Therefore by keeping
his interest at home you will keep him there

whereby every boy in Cobb county is offered an
opportunity to get radio receiving set of stand
ard make, absolutely free 1t is UP to the parents
to encourage their boys in this contest and help
