THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL VOL 12.-NO. 7. PICKENS, S. C., THURSDAY, MARCl 1, 1 Q02 SOUTH CAROLINA EXPOSITION. OUR WHALT11 IN MINERAL4S AND T1MllER. A Tulk With tle State GeCologist A)ott the Treastires in the Earth. Jas. A. Hoyt, Jr., in The State. The forestry of South Carolina and the State's geological resources are matters to which public attention has only recently been directed. Their importance is doubtless not yet fully 2 appreciated. In the South Carolina c building at the Exposition there are various exhibits of the timber wealth I of the State-nearly every county has something of the sort to show. But in I the centre of this building is the State a exhibit proper and the most interesting V parts of it, perhaps, are the timber and ( mineral displays. These were collected d and arranged by the very competent 11 State geologist, Mr. Earle Sloan, who ki is an enthusiast as well as an expert. c The timber exhibit embraces speci. il mens of the many native wooda-the a long-leaf pine, Cuban or slush pine, e short-leaf, loblolly pine, spruce pine, a cypress, cedar, red birch, beach, black C gum, sugar maple, red maple, cotton k wood, white ash, white oak, swamip ai white oak, chestnut oak, willow oak, n water oak, red oak, scarlet oak, Span ish oak, black oak, post oak, winged ir elm, white elm, dog wood, sorrel wood, I sasafras, hackberry, persimmon, long- t( leafed poplar, tulip poplar, white hick- Z ory, black hickory, pignut hickory, C walnut, palmetto and others. ft It is not, generally known that these el native woods are being cut and finished ti on a scale that is really nmammnoth. it s< is an industry that has made great ad- si vances in late years, and while the si promiscuous destruction of the forests fi is to be deprecated the scientific de- ir velopmeut of these natural resources into commercial assets is a benefit to w the State flinancially and an aid to all at other industries. 01 For the preparation of pine and cy- C piess lumber South Carolina affords g some of the largest saw nulls in the si United States. A mill at Georgetown si has a capacity of a million feet a lay, ko one mi. at Charleston a capacity of ti three-quarLers of a million feet, and ti many mills along the lower pine belt. at have capacities but slightly less. oj Considerable attention is attaching b to the superior white oak of this State at from which much is shipped to the w Northwestern States, to be converted c< into furniture and then returned to the e. Southern States. The logic of this t< situation has stimulated the crection of in several furniture factories in the inte- o: rior of South Carolina and others will tl probably soon follow. H eretofore the cc white, oak of this State has been either di hewn into crossties or manufactured si into rough lumber, selling at prices rang- F ing from $8 to $14 per thousand feet. c( This white oak, carefully "quarter in sawed," is worth, delivered at Balti- Ii more, $45 to $50 per thousand feet. eW Commercially the most important y( geological possession in this State is the phosphate rock. Specimens of this y are on exhibition and to those unfa- 01 miliar with the peculiar formation, a tt remainder of the departed glories of S unknown ages, it is a valuable lesson a to see the rocks and have their history e explaine:. When asked for something about, the b geological exhut Mr. Sloan first, di- a rected attention to the dlisplay of st~and- y ard-shaped blocks of the structural and monumental stones, chief amongst, i, which are the gran itcs of this State, t which are second to none in the United e States in both quality and~ quantity. s Very extensive quarries are now being y worked near Rockton, Illairs, New- I b)erry, Pacolet and Columbia, yielding ( varied and superb produicts. Some of i these quarries are equipped with the a most complete aiic modern mechanism for the production of architectural e st~ones, andl employ the most skilled i artisans for highly finished monu- t mental work. The State House of South Carolina is cc -structedl of granite from these t quarries and deimnstrates the very su. perior capacity of this stone for the p~ermanent maintenance of a white ness of color resembling marble, and of a dhurability promising practically indefinite inalterability. The specimeni blocks exhibited include all shades and varieties, ranging through the Scotch to the darkest, lines. A coniiicu~ous prodhuct of this industry is to be found in the "Belgian blocks'' recognized as the most durable paying blocks fondc in this country andi which are shippedi as far West, as Cinicinnati. T1hue gran ites and gneisses of this State aro in considerable demand for macadam izinug roadways and for the ballasting of the roadbcds of railways. A large guarry and plaut, at Cedar Mountaini are ex clusively devoted to furnisiinng crushed gneiss to the Southern rail way, and thme recent app~ropriatioin of several million dlollars made by the Seaboard Air' Line for ballasting t~heir roadbed will prob ably lead to the opening of addititonal qjuaurrieis and the installation of' new lnuts in this Statec to furnmsh the necessaiy materkul. The value of thbc stonc produced in this Statec during the year 1900O was $285,172. Amongst, the specimens of guanitecs and gneisses are observed many fronm cieposits whmich ar~e not now being qjuarriedi, notably from Ehgelldl, I sex. ington, laurcums, La ncasteor, York, ChesterfieLld, Odonee, Andler.son, P'ick enms) Chester and G reenivic co~unmtjcs. Tu.'rninmg from the stru~ctu rat stones one is confrontcecf with an extecnsive assortment of the monazitecs of Chero kee, York and Spartanburg counities. Cherokee County affordls the most con-i spicuous deposit of this mineral of aull known localities, and produces about 2,000 pounds per day, with an aggre gate value of $140. The contained value is thorium, which is essen1tial to the manufacture of the incandescent mantles ordinarily observed In the Wellsbach burners. In connection wvith the inonanzites a collection of the issociato gravels and parent rocks is Ihown. Glancing at the c->lcction of' beryls, imethysts, IIIicas, corun(lumn, baryta, iliestones, graphites and other eco ionic minerals, one then comes to the :aolins and clays which, during the ear 1900, yielded in returns to the itizons of this State $712,536. About 20 per cent. of all wood pul) aper is composed of kaolin, known as paper stock"-South Carohina is the lost prominent producer of "paper Lock" kaolin for the higher grades of ,hite paper. The beds of Aiken ounty are unexcelled by any known (,posits, and so superior is this article 3 it naturally occurs Im its beds in this cality that no washing or other pro iss of refinement is required to make marketable. Aiken County affords bout 30,000 long tons of this kaolin ich year in addition to some porcelain ad fino clay. Killian, in Richland ounty, affords the most prominently nown bed of fine clay iII this State, id operates extensive kilUns for the anufacture of flIne tiles, bricks, etc. You next arrive at a collection of the on ores of this State, of which the ost conspicuous and historically in resting are the celebrated Cherokee agnetic ores. With these orcs the onifederate government operated large irnaces, gun foundries, rolling mills, c. They represent a vast accumiila )n of particles of magnetic ore dis minated through magnesian slates ales, olivine, etc. The excepionally tperior quality of the iron derived em these ores must again create a Io and for these valuable deposits. One then passes by the tin ores, hich occur as prospects in Cherokee id York counties, to the manganese es and thence to the gold ores of South xrolina. South Carolina is the greatest )ld-producimg State cast of the Missis l)pi. Many samples and specimens of perior ores are exhibited from sundry calities, many deposits awaiting capi 1 for profitable development, and at soniC gold propeities In this State C susceptible of highly profitable >cration is conclusively established the history of the old Dorn minc, id by the daily current practice of the orld-renowned Iaile gold mine, a >ntinuous dividend payer in the great t single producer of gold in the Eas rn States. There on is exhibition an teresting diagram showing the plan the plait as designed by Capt. Thies, e fathei of the now widespread pro as known by his name. There is splayed anl extensive assortment uf te orcs and products from this mine. irst the crushed ore, then the con utrated ore, the roasted ore, the gold an amber colored solution and ially a gilded block representing the [uivaleut of gold produced during one ,ar by this interesting plant. For additional forestry specimens .epared according to the suggesticns the State geologist one is directed to e exhibits from Gtreenwood, l crkcley, >artanburg and Darlington counties. id to the magnificent display of pai ed specimens from Darlington, com rising curly walnut, curly pine, china arry, quartered oak, maple, oak and her sup~erb) specimens, which could ith great dillicult~y b~e surp~assed,. ticuttion is much engaged by a most iteresting b)otaniical collection from hester, prep~aredl tuder thme direction) Prof. Green. But few State or ientilic museums afford such a comn rehensive and instructive local col ectioni of woods. Hlorry, Florence, rangeburg, Geretw, Sumter aind 'ickens counities priesent interestmig pecimemns of these forest prodlucts. Chester, Spartanburg, IPickens, Flor nec, Sumter and ( )angeburg counities isplay in their county collections ini Bresting sp~cimens5 of their rocks and uincrals. South Carolinians are accustomedl to hmnk and to speak of their State as -great,'' but, with reference to its lirious history. This is justilled and L is proper, yet South Carolina is great ni many other ways that, arc not ap rcciatedl in or ouitsidle its borders. It s onily whlen lie sees some such dlemon tration as this~ that the average citi en realizes the extent of the State's cal greatness. Asthma " One of my daughters had a terrible case of asthma.

How the Farmers Can Save Money - l'o (he ditor of The People's Journal: 'flie following conmmunication issued by the Assistant Agriculturist of Clem sou Agricultural college is of so much value to the farmers of this State on ac count of the present high price of all feed products for farm animals and stock, that I have determined to get you to publish this as an advertisement for which our company will bear the ex pense0. A some of the products made up in the ration as made by Mr. Connor may not be available to various planters I suggest that any planter write to kr. Connor and state what food products are available to hin, both rough forage and concentrated food, and Mr. Connor will take pleasuie In making up a ration to suit his needs as he has done In this instance. Yours truly, General Manager The Bouthern Cotton Oil Company. Cheep Rations for Horses and Mutles. To the Editor of The People's Journal; Farmers from various sections of the State have been writing asking about the advisability of feeding horses and mules on cotton Seed meal and hulls and also asking for a cheaper ration than Corn. 'I'he following prices are given in a letter from Scranton, H. U. : Corn, $40 per ton; oats, $,15 per ton: wheat bran, $25 per ton; cotton seed muoal, $25 per ton; rice meal, $22 per ton. Of course corn and oats are out of the question as a food for horses and mules at the above prices. so something cheaper must be looked for. h'lhe analysis shows that rice meal has about the saine composition as corn meal and we have found that it is just ae good for feeding pigs. We have fed it to horses with good results. I think we are safe in sa) ing that it may bo used in place of corn pound for Fouid. If no hay or fodder is used in the ration and hulls are resorted to as rough lesH Komne nitrogenous food such as bran or cotton Reed meal must be used to supp)ly protein. hlulls may be fed with out, any further fear of injury to the ani imal. Should they refuse to eat the hulls a little corn meal or bran sprinkled over the surface will tempt them. A gool cheap ration may be matde up as followis. Six pounlids of rice costing G1.6 cents; four pound of wheat bran costing 16.0 cents; two poundi of cotton seed meal, cIsting 2 5 cents ; tel pounds of cotton seed hulls, costing ..0 cents ; total cost of ration per day 17. 1. h'lie above is for a horse or mule of 1,000 pounls in live weight. It is evident that a ration made up of cori and fodder and containing the same amouit of digestible matter as the above ration would cost much more than the above. ITile North Carolina experiment station i has fed cotton tiSeed meal and hulls to e horses with good results, but the experi mients along this line have not been ex tensive enough to say that cotton seed meal can he fed in unlimitel quantit.ins for any length of tine without injury to ' the aiminild. Numbers of farmers, however, have r- reported that they have fed cotton seed 'y meal toI mulecs and horses with good is results. >f C. M. CoNNERa, ,a Asst. Agrist. S. C. Exp~erimental Sta , tionl.
