DUG UP -$9o00 nA it Wos votioni Not Goid-Luoky Find in the Pacolot Valey Friday. Sixty thousand dollars was ac cidentally discovered at Pacolet buried in the sands along the banks-of -the Pao-let river last Friday, it it was cotton and not gold that constituted this valuable troasure, says the Spartanburg Journal. A party was prospecting on the scene of the recent. fiood disaster along the river banks no.L far from the site of the warehouse at- Paco. let when a small'bit of white cot q ton was noticed sticking out of the sand. Investigation fbllowed al once and the white bit of cotton turned out to be part of a, bale which in tiuri was one of a lot ol e nearly one. thousand bales of cot 0 ton which were lying beneath the sands all unknown to the work men who had hundreds of timeE it passed over this.veritable mino of wealth in bur'ied cotton. d The single bale was excavated from the sands and ill about it - baried some feet under the surface in the sand was seen cotton bale e after cotton bale lying well pro tected and almost uninjured tinde= the weight of sand. The scene d was soon the arena of busy life and r- many workmen were called upon . to aid in getting 'out the buried cotton. When every bale was dug out and an 'inventory taken it waE found that nearly one thousand bales of cotton valued in round ir numbers at about 60,000 dollars had been rescu'ed. The incident is one of many of this kind showing r the strange freaks which the storm )f.and flood played, concealing goodo and cotton in many instancps i such a manner that they are found with difficulty. The discovery o d the cotton was a source of greal 1, gratification to the mill poople. "For years fate was afte me continU ously" writes F. A.

Meanwhile the secret con. ferences of Itussian officials at Port Arthur leadito the-conclusion that the wituation Is one of utmost gravlty. It would seem that ,storm clouds hang low and threateningly over the gulf of Techill and inay break at any time. - Tho'United States ficet of fifteen,. the English of twelve and the Russian of fifty shiips are ikot there on parade, It is fair to assume, else the question of the strength of the British force in that quarter would not have been asked, as it was the other day in open parliament. The United States becise of its poli cy respecting the demand for new treaty ports in Manchuria has assumJd an attitude toward Russia which So lates it in a sense from all the oter interested powers. There can be no doubt that the Russian occupation.of Manchuria foreshadows the partition of the Middle Kingdom. Germany seems to be content with her strong hold in Shangtping, and France Is ready for the spoIls of war in Yunnan. With Russia, then, the dominant power in north China and England as yet evine ing no disposition to interfere forcibly, only Japan remains to insist, unless the Uhited States finds a peaceable, yet ef fective, way to do it, upon a speedy solution of the mienacing situatiop in Manchuria. Japan's posilble means of resistance to the Russian policy seems, only those of war, while ours may be the more effective for being of the moral sort. The Washington government has clearly given Russia to understand that our interests and desires are wholly against the disruption of the Chinese empire and on the side of commercial freedom in the entire orient. What should be our attitude and action in the event of a clash between-Russia and Japan is a grave question. That we should appear as an active ally of Japan and possibly of England in actual hostilities seems out of the uestion.~ The ganme would not be worth so costly a candle. Strikes and Government Ownership. The government of Victoria, Austra lia, has just won a victory over a rail road union which is likely to have far reaching consequences. Early In May all the engineers and firemen employed on the state railroad lines, 1,800 In all, struck work at mid night; many of them leaving their en gines at all sorts of dangerous points on the road. They expected that all traffic would be paralyzed and that all demands would be granted to them as masters of the situation. They were encouraged in their view by the fact that in Western Australia and in New South Wales similar strikes had- end ed In the complete defeat and surren der of tihe authorIties. After the strike had continued for some tiflho the p)remier summoned parliament and declared that thu strikers, as paid servants of the state, were in practical revolt agaInst the state, and he asked to ,be endowed with sufficient authority to employ the most drastic measures to bring the rebels to terms. The temper of tho Victoria-n parlainient was such that he certainly would have secured all the powers lhe asked foir, brit before action could be taken the unionists, alarmed at the position 'iin which they found themselves, promptly surrendered and - hurried back to work. The attitude taken by the Victorian premier is slgnificant and Interesting as touching one phase of the question of the government ownership of rail ways and Indicating what course might be pursued elsewhere under similar circumstances. An accommodating Cleveland man announces that he has an automobile which he wvIll be pleased at all times to p~lace at tihe dIsposal of brides and grooms wvishing to e'scape the throwers of rico and old shoes. This is an exhi bition of real and practical philanthro py which ought to be appreciated by matrimonially inclined young people.

Orr, Pre idE'it of the PIednoot Mii, lt EXWpUIned atn)m and says it is langerous. Greenvill, JulyI 17-ol. Janesi L. Orr, president ol the Piedmsmt Man ufsbturifigCompany, and one of the best known and most up-to. date cotton mill menl in the South, returned- this afternoon from the Sapphire country, in Western North Carolina, whero he has made a careful investigation of the famous froxaway damn. Ile ex. preshed the opinion that the struot uro is not secure. If the water, from ~ excessive rains or imolting -suows, sh:o1ild rise above the sur face of the dam, he said, the struct uro would beeoipletoly demolisli ed in tivo hours, and the waters would. work. destruction upon the valleys below. Col. Orr gave it as his opinion that expert engineers should be sent to make a thorough examina tion of the dam, and give a report of the actual cotidition of affairs. It is said that grave apprehension exists in the sections of country which are at the mercy of the mountain waters. The Toxaway dam is 27 miles in circumference. In many places the water is fifty feet deep. Shculd this mighty volume ever escape, there-would be another Johnstown horror. It would crush the Seneca river trestles on the Southern and Blue Ridge, into kindling wood and it would sweep away the dam at Portman Shoals; near Anderson, which is considered the most pow. erful structure of the kind in the State. The wild rush of water would find an outlet in the Savan nah river and would flood the city of Augusta. There is so milch at stake, so many thousands of acres of farming land to be destroyed, that the people who stand to lose everything will not feet secure un til: they receive the information which will be supplied by engin eers of ability and -integrity. There is no desire to injure the owners of Toxaway, but men whose millioifa can to wrecked in a night, want to know the truth. And they expect to get this at any cost. According to newspaper and other reports, the dam is mightily built of stone. From other sources, however, it is'laimed that nothing stronger than a bed of earth holds the billions and billions of tonis of water. The entire country along the streams which have their fountain head in the Sapphire country, were alarmed mn the recent storm days when reports camne that Tloxaway was doomed. Foi nearly twenty four hours the suspense was terri .ble.- The people realized what a calamity of that kind would mean, and there was rejoicing wvhen it was known that the dam structure was intact. Since that time, how. ever, the 6wners of property which would be at the mercy of any over~ flow, have soen the impor tance of making an investigation. Thl~is is the only way by which the situo tion can be relieved, and if it is shown that the dam is unsafe, there must he some remedy at law which will give the people the pro tection they desire.
