King's Mountain Herald, August 12: In an interview with Prof. John H Furman, vice president and consulting engineer for the Southern Venture company, a North Carolina corporation, last week we gathered the following information regarding the gold mining industry of his company, which is resuming the operation of tin* old Catawba mine about two miles southeast of this town. "I have discovered," said Professor Furman, *.. Vw.i-.. the vein of the old Catawba mine crosses the (old) Yorkville road about a quarter of a mile from the old mine. \Ve have sunk a shaft eight feet deep on the new find and find that the vein is 3x12 feet. It is worth $40 per ton and prows richer the deeper the shaft goes. This means a. new mine which will be run in connection with the old Catawba mine, .but will be a complete and separate plant. Machinery will be installed at ^ the new plant as soon as practicable. At the old mine the plant is nearly completed and ready to begin operations. No attempt will be made at any of the old workings, but a new shaft has been sunk 80 feet. An abundance of ore is in sight running in value from $10 to $100 per ton. The mine is equipped with hoisting machinery, pumps, etc., delivering the ore at once into the mill. This vein is 3 to 4 feet thick and there are three other new openings with very rich ore in each one." National Union Bank Case. Hock Hill Herald: Dunlap, Dunlap & Hollis, attorneys, have received a copy of the decision rendered Wednesday by Judge H. P. Green, in the suit brought by the National Union bunk and the First Trust and Savings bank relative to certain taxes paid under protest. The decision upholds the contentions of the plaintiff in one respect and denies the claims in another. The county treasurer is required by the order to refund to the banks some $1,100 of the taxes paid under protest. An appeal to the supreme court will probably be taken by both sides to the litigation. It will be remembered that the county assessors accepted the returns as handed in by the banks, the state board accepting the returns also. As was customary in making the returns, the banks omitted to include certain county and school district bonds, which had been purchased as non-taxable, also certain United States bonds. The comptroller general afterwards instructed the county auditor to include these bonds as taxable values, taxing them against the stockholders rather than the bank as a whole. The taxes were paid under protest and suit was started to recover the portion on the bonds, etc. The court held that the comptroller general did not have the authority to change the returns as passed by the assessors and consequently the county treasurer Is required by the decision to refund to the banks this part of the taxes. It is expected that the comptroller general will appeal from this ruling. The banks also contended that the state could not tax the United States bonds held by the bank, as the constitution says no state shall discriminate against U. S. bonds. As Brown consols are not taxable the bank contends the state cannot tax U. S. bonds without discriminating. The decision does not support the contentions that the stockholders can be relieved of taxes on bonds supposed to be non-taxable. Commercial Grading of Corn. The grades for commercial corn which were promulgated by the secretary of agriculture on January 3, 1914, and which went into effect on July 1, 1914, have been generally adopted throughout the corn belt and in the cities in that part of the United States and at the gulf ports, but are not in use in the cities along the Atlantic seaboard. The grades include the classification of white, yellow and mixed corn into six grades and "sample" and have been recognized by the Grain Dealers' National association, the state associations affiliated with this or ganization, the state grain inspection departments of Washington, Minne- < sota, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and the department of agriculture, commerce and industries of the state of South Carolina. In order that the producers, dealers and consumers throughout the United States may more fully understand the correct interpretation of the government corn grades, somewhat detailed explanations are given in Bulletin 168 of the department, grades for commercial corn. The classification which was made by the secretary and became effective July 1, 1914, divided commer- ( cial corn into six classes nnd "sample," the classification being based on the moisture content of the corn, the color, the amount of damage, foreign material, and cracked corn. It also includes eleven general rules for making this classification. Necessarily even with the definite limits for the more important factors, points will arise on which the best experts may differ. For this reason the bulletin gives somewhat in detail methods of securing a representative sample from bulk corn, mixing samples for detailed analyses, the size of "samples, sieves for screening, moisture tests, determining the amount of damage of com, foreign material, and cracked corn. It ! also includes a color plate which , represents, as nearly as possible, the various types of kernels from the standpoint of oolor. This bulletin may be had free' upon application to the department as long as the supply lasts. ??~i ? New? and Courier, Wednesday: 1 Mayor Grace yesterday, asserted in city council that he had been accused indirectly of personally receiving $30,000 graft money from the blind tigers, , and that rumors in which aldermen were charged with receiving graft were also being circulated about the city. The statement that he had received $30,000, he said, was made by Mr. R. Julius Ortmann of the fire department, who, he said, gave as his authority for the assertion Alderman H. W. H. Buck of ward 12. In addition to the 1 assertion the mayor remarked that members of the council, according to rumors, are said to have received a tremendous amount from the Carolina, Atlanta & Western railway, also to have received money as a result of j their vote on the Society street ice plant proposition, while it is rumored more money than was necessary had been expended by the committee on streets and street improvements. The statements were made at the conclusion of the regular August session of city council yesterday afternoon. There was quite a stir among the aldermen and discussion as to the best method of dealing with the situation ensued. The mayor said that no direct chafges J had been made, but that he understood 1 that they were to be brought out at 1 a campaign meeting within the next few weeks. Speaking of the rumor in regard to contracts being let by the committee on streets, the mayor said that it was a well known fact that contracts had been secured at a lower rate than ever before. Furthermore, he declared that if he could find out that the rumored charges were true he would do all in his power to have the guilty parties found out and action taken against them. Referring to the rumored accusations of graft money being received from the Bonsai line authorities, from the ice plant , matter and that he had received $30,000 from blind tigers, Mayor Grace announced that he would brand them as "lies" in advance. Continuing his remarks the mayor said that it was indirectly known that he had attempted to get the responsible party on the ctiinin nml thorp air nil srnndals and charges, if there be any, against his administration. Referring especially to the rumor that council had received a tremendous bribe from the Bonsai road. Mayor Grace said: "Such rumors are cowardly, dirty and characteristic of the gentleman responsible for the assertion." He requested that the statement be made a matter of record and that the word "characteristic" be underscored. Every cent of fines collected from blind tigers and illegal whisky dealers during his administration, the mayor said, could be I accounted for. In this respect it was stated that the total of these fines collected annually amounted to between $5,000 and $10,000 more than during any previous administration. To Grab Part of Texas.?An explanation of the purposes and extent of the Mexican raids of the past three weeks was obtained today from Jesus Garcia, a Mexican, wounded and captured in the Sunday night fight at Novias, who is expected to die. He said many Mexicans, especially the lower classes, hope to regain possession of that part of Texas between the Rio Grande and the Nueces rivers, or roughly, the strip bounded by Brownsville and Corpus Christi, and return it to Mexico. Garcia said a political party having this aim exists in the southern part of Texas. The recent raids were organized to steal horses. ' guns and ammunition to equip a Mexican force.?Brownsville Dispatch. The Law in Charleston.?"The pub lie sentiment of the State will, at least to the extent of 90 per cent, uphold (Governor Mantling in whatever steps i he may find necessary in Charleston. Nobody wants Charleston to be subi Jected to special hardships of course. At the same time Charleston is a part of the state of South Carolina and ' is subject to the laws of the state, just as every other city and town in the state. The state of South Carolina cannot afford to let Charleston set her li?|tior laws at defiance any more than it can afford to permit Columbia or Anderson or Laurens to set at de fiance the laws to do murder or arsoi or forgery. It is the duty of the governor t< endeavor to enforce all the laws equally and without favoritism, an< the state will support him in al courageous and intelligent effort ii that direction. And the people are very goo< judges of the intelligence and cour age.?Anderson Daily Mail.

McLeod for Prohibition.?The ad dress of Hon. Thomas G. McLeod it the South Main Street Baptist church this city, Sunday night, in the interes of prohibition was a splendid effort It was temperate and at the sam< time very forceful in the argument! it contained against the liquor traffic He covered the field well, showlnf that there was evil and only evil in it That it was against the interests ol the family, the cause of religion, ant the community to have liquor sold His appeal to his hearers to do whai they could to make a better community and state for the men and wojner who are to take their places in th? years to come was especially fine. Mr. McLeod's statement that he was candid enough to confess that he hac not always held the views he nov holds with reference to the sale of liquor only made what he had to say th< more impressive. He was able t< look at this great moral and economh question from both sides.?Greenwoot Journal. SELF-EXPLANATORY York, S. C.. August 11th, 1915. Messrs. L. M.

COME AND g 'our Vacation Come and Let Us T runks, Suit Cases and Hand-Ba?B J IN COMPANY J SOME ARE WISE PREVIOUS to five years ago It was rarely my privilege to write the application of a young man or boy for a MUTUAL BENEFIT POLICY who was less than 25 years of age. During the past 15 months I have written a larger number of applications of ages indicated than in any similar period during the 16 years I have represented the company and I am hopeful that the time is not as far off as it has been that the majority of young men will realize that THEIR interests demand that the sooner they insure THEIR lives the BETTER. The Mutual Benefit's age limits are from 15 to 70 years and there are few, if any, young men who could not carry from one to five thousand dollars insurance if they tried, and there is no doubt of the fact that they WOULD TRY if they knew as well what IS AHEAD of them as thousands of men from 40 to 70 years of age who are applying for insurance every year, know what is BEHIND them. The young man has Everything to Gain and nothing to lose by insuring NOW. The parents who urge their sons to insure just as soon as they reach the insurable age, and even help them to pay the premiums, if necessary, will be doing them a kindness which will be appreciated in after years.
