(iiy/ O CHERRY PECTORAL SAY THEY'VE STRUCK GOLD. "Nim" Sullivan, of Greenville, Takts Op lions on Large Tracts tl Land. Th? "gold fever" baa broken oat io noonoo again. The report? now c< nie in that Nim Sullivan, of Greenville, ba? taken a $15,000 option on the Townes place, above Tamaaaee, known aa the old E. M. Keith place. It ls said to show up every evidence of a. rich gold deposit, and Mr. Sullivan is working about a dozen men every day, digging and blast ing, to ascertain the extent of the gold vein. This place was worked some fifteen years ago by a Yankee prospector, who waa assisted by M. 0. Craine, of the neighborhood. Mr. Craine says the whole place shows evidenoes of gold, and one particularly rich vein lies be tween a small branoh and Cheohee crook. Mr. Sullivan is lookiug after this vein in particular, and it is on the estimated value of its output that he base? his option of $15,000, whioh he says he will pay in cash this week and have the lands transferred to him. Mr. Craine, who is familiar with every foot of ground in that seotion of th? county, says there is no doubt as to marked traces of gold all over the whole Townes place. Years ago it was worked a little and the dirt' assayed, but be failed to remember how ita value ran per ton of dirt. Mr. Sullivan has high hopes for his mining operations, and expects soon to have a large force of hands working regularly. We understand that there is renewed activity also in the gold mining about Pine Mountain, Ga., but have heard no particulars. These mines have beeu spasmodically worked for years, with results varying from unsatisfactory to an output far beyond expectations. There is no doubt at all that at many points in the hills in tim section there are good mining prospects for gold and other minerals.

The rich or poor who hither came, And some who were well known to fame, Wore brethren here below; They mingled here in Christian love, Sang praises to our Lord above, One hundred years ago.

A Warning to Mothers. Too much caro cannot be used with small children during the bot weather of the summer months to guard against bowel troubles. As a rule it is only necessary to give the ohild a dose of castor oil to correct any disorder of the bowels. Do not use any substitute, but give the old-fashioned castor oil, and see that it is fresh, ss rancid oil nauseates and has a tendency to gripe. If this does not check the bowels give Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea' Bomedy snd then a dose of castor oil, and the disease may be chocked in its icoipienoy ann all danger avoided. The castor oil and this remedy should be pro cured at once and kept ready for instant use as soon as the first indication of any bowel trouble appears. This is the most successful treatment known and may be relied upon with implicit confidence even in oases of cholera infantum. For sale by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca.
