SOUTH CAh^ Two Carloads ol' Ore Shipped tc News and Yorkville, September M.-Choro- j kee County enjoys the distinction of being the first county not only in South Carolina, but in thc Knited United States to have as much as a carload of tin ore mined within its borders. Capt. S. S. KOSH, who dis covered a tin mine on his farm near Gaffney about a year ago, has so far shipped two carloads of ore to Eng- j laud to bc smelted at Cornwall. It is said to be a fact that not so much as j a ton of ore ha'i ever before been taken out of any single mine on thc North American Continent. While in Gaffney a few days ago the writer called on Mr. K. C. KOSH, a son of Capt. KOSH, and president of the First National Kauk of Gaffney, and asked to be told something about thc tin mine and the supposed outlook for the future. Mr. Roes said that while as a iule it ?as not good policy for a business man lo tell what he was doing or ex pected lo do, still in their ease they had no objection to taking the public into their confidence, in view of thc fact that they owned and controlled the only minc of undoubted value in the United States. "The plantation," he said, "on which thc minc was discovered by my father, ia located near Gaffney, and includes a large body of original forest timber. It has been his custom for years to examine this timber once or twice each year to see whether or not any depredations were being made, and that was what he wan doing when he discovered tho outcroppings of tin ore that subsequently led to thc development of the minc. The speci mens were found among the roots of a tree that had been blown dowu. "Up to this time only the most primitive methods host been employ ed in prospecting. A shaft has been sunk to the depth of about HU feet in the same manner aB is employed in sinking a well. At a depth of about 50 feet quicksand was struck and it was with great difficulty that it was handled. The shaft is substantially curbed from top to bottom, and we Lave now uncovered or cut through a vein that promises to stagger the world so far BB richness and extent is concerned. We havo deoided now, since we are entirely satisfied with the outlook, to suspend operations until we can buy and install the neces sary maohinery to operate at a mini mum expense and secure maximum results. It is my purpose to go North next week to arrange for the maohine ry we need or want. We are figuring on investing about $30,000 in this way at the outset, and will'increase the size of the plant as developments warrant. "Here are some specimens of our ore," remarked Mr. Ross, as he show ed about a gallon of dark or black looking mineral specimens. They m were heavier in proportion to size than lead, but did not present an ap pearance that would be calculated to attract the attention of a novice. Mr. Ross was asked as to the assay value or proportion of pure tin con tained in the samples as well as of the general run of the mine, and etatjd that it was over 70 per oent pure, and that its commercial value Was in the neighborhood of $500 to the ton. Mr. Ross said that it was not their intention to sell any part of their in terest in the mine, and although they had numerous attractive offers they had dcolined them all, for the reason that they were satiated that they had a most valuable piece of property and BONE FOOD Soft and crooked bones mean bad feeding.

It is generally believed that there are numerous other valuable and rich deposits of tin ore in Cherokee Coun ty and that the vein extends east to a point m ur Bessemer City, N. C., but up to this time it han uot been dis covered or located where it compares in richness with that on Capt. HUSH'S finn. While there is no perceptible ex citement in or around Gaffney over thc discovery of tin, still the people realize that should the present pros pects materialize to au extent of even one-half of what they now promise, not only thc town but thc country fur miles around will receive benefits be yond the conception of the most en thusiastic dreamers. Hurled Alive by n Cougar. The Western Sportsman publishes what purports to bc the experience of a hunter in British Columbia. There arc fair reasons to doubt tho truth of thc story, but if truo the hunter certainly had a narrow escape. The account Hays : It was warm and dry, and along in the middle of thc afternoon I began to pine for rest. It was all?|uiet and no traces of game, so ? stretched out for a nap. It must have been an hour later that I woko up and found myself covered with two feet of leaves, snug as thc babes in thc woods. I was ail tucked in HO cozy that nobody else could have done it but a cougar, and most likely a female cougar at that. It occurred to mc with .some force that I'd bcon filed away for future refer ence, and that I hadn't waked up any too soon. It didn't soothe me to figure on that cougar stowing me away as a dog hides a bone. It seemed that tho best thing for mo to do was to countermine that cou-? gar's mine, as it were SJ I hunted up a log about my size and covered it with the leaves-a nice, fat hump on thu ground. Then t shinned a tree close by, assuring myself beyond any doubts that nobody had meddled with the working of my repeater. The cougar came in such a short time as to show how fortunate it was that I had waked up when I did, and with ber, as I had calculated were a ohoice lot of young ones. She had left a dinner located and had been off to get her family. Well, that cougar oiroled around the pile of leaves for a few minutes, crouching and piokicg a nice select placo to spring from. When she was satisfied and made the loap she went through the air tremendous, throwing the leaves in a whirlwind and scratch ing sod snarling. It was something of a shook when she found the log, but she didn't display any diasppoint ment. She just took the soent and came to the foot of my tree and look ed up, real venomous. It seemed to her an awkward job to handle, I having my gun ready so, and the cougar had an inspiration. She vent to a tree about ten feet away and started to go up. She ras after that meal and not to he dis couraged by any trifles. It was her ider. to climb up above me on the other tree, and then bring me down with a flying leap. I didn't lose any more time with experiments or speculations, but let her have it the first time she oame round the tree. The bali went through her jaw and breast, and the varmint went to the ground. The young ones were running around, and rknocked them over, too, with the gun. Sinoe then I haven't gone to sleep in the woods. The County Justice. I well remember one case before a justice in which I soled as respon dent's oounsel in a criminal aotion, and in whioh an older and well known attorney was my opponent. As I thought then, and as I know now, the law and the evidenoe was well in favor of my client, and at the dose of the arguments I looked with great confi dence for a prompt acquittal. Judge of my astonishment when my unfor tunate client was found guilty and sentenced to thirty days ia jail. I promptly entered an appeal and fur nished sureties to proseoute the same. Before I left the Court room the jus tice took ocoa&ion to take me aside and say : "Young man, I kinder thought ye were right, but I koowrd Judge W- ([naming my opponent) is a sight older n you betend a sight better lawyer'n you be, and of course I gio him judgment."-Judge Shute ia Leslie's Monthly Magazine. The Wealth of Bible Day* Quite a young lad asked his father: "Could I have boen a millionaire when Joseph was in ICgypt? Heccnt historical researches an<l statistics in ancient Jewish papers temi to bbow that in thc days preced ing the birth of Christ there probably were wealthier men than the world has even now. To illustrate, there was one .Jewish ruler by thc name of Korah. To form aa idea of his for tune it is stated that it required uo less than three huudre? white inules to carry the keys of his grain store houses, and these keys wore not made of heavy metal, but of light leather strips. Five of these leather keys weighed a pound. Thc carrying ca pacity of each mule was about 200 pounds. Therefore Korah had so many ?tore-houses that he required three hundred thousand keys to get into them. The mathematician who took these figures from tho Talmud estimates that Korah was worth three billion dollars, or three times the amount accredited to any single man in the world to-day. King Solomon himself was an extraor dinarily wealthy man. He had 10,000 stable horses and 1,000 stables for 1, 100 chariots, with. 12,000 horsemen. Kvery horse was worth. 150 shekels and every chariot ODO shekels, as any boy may learn hy consulting thc books of Kings or Chronicles. A shekel is worth about fifty cents iu American money, so that it- is es timated that Solomon's stables and horsemen represented an investment of nearly $0,000,000. The gifts which the Queen of Sheba brought to Solo mon have been valued at the equiva lent of 4,200,000 German thalers. What Solomon himself expended upon the building of his temple is put at the enormous sum of $250,000,000. If with this are included the precious stoned, marble and other rare building material uecd, it is believed that an exact reproduction of the temple to day would make it cost approximate $500,000,000 in American money. Thc boy who is interested in Ogures may take his own Testament and de termine that in thc building of the temple Kiog Solomon gave to Hiram, kiog of Tyre, nearly 4,500,000 bushels of wheat, nearly the same amount of barley, nearly a million gallons of bath wine and any quantity of bath oil. At the current price of wheat today this quantity would be worth near $4,000, 000, and tho barley would be worth about $1,500,000. The 8,000 talents of gold would be valued at $192,000, 000; the 17,000 talents of silver at $11,000,000 and the 18,000 talents of brass at over $200,000. The wages cf tho laborers employed for seven years would equal over $37,000,000. The temple of King Herod repra sented an enormous expenditure. It was built of intersecting bovelled edged alabaster and marbra that resem bled the waves of the,sea. But this temple of Herod's was surpassed by the magnificent one built in Alexan dria by the Jews. This was called a labyrinth and contained seventy-one cathedrals. Each cathedral oost no lesa than 210,000 talents of gold, and a talent of gold was valued at $24,000. When Jerusalem was besieged be fore its second destruction, there were three rich Jews living there. They resolved rather than surrender to the enemy to feed all the inhabitants of the oily for twenty-one years, if neces sary. One of them stipulated to fur* nish wheat and barley, another to fur nish wine and oil, and another fire wood. Assuming that the population was 1,000,000 (by aotual census at the Passover festival in the year 66, or three years before the destruction) and allowing $100 a year for the mainten ance of a person, this *ould have cost the three men over $2,000,000,000. There is little doubt but that there were enormously rich men in those days, but the people who worked and the people who believed that money should not be the eole end of lit J were not as well off, and did not have ai much means as they do today. Wealth is more generally distributed today,and it is possible for any boy who is willing to work and to bo true to himself to ac quire a comfortable living and busi ness. A Woman Attacked by Her Own Brother. Spartanburg, Oct. 8.-This evening about 7 o'clock Mrs. J. Meldron Bow den was attacked by her brother. Charlie George, at her home on Wof ford street and perhaps fatally injured. At the time her husband, J. H. Bow den, was in the yard at work. George, who had been drinking for several days, and who waa boarding at Mr. Bowden s, walked into a bed room where Urs, Bowden waa sitting on a bed and without a word of warning he grabbed hold of her and hurled her across the room. In falling her head struck the marble corner of a wash stand and her skull was fractured. She was rendered unconscious. George made his escape. Mr. Bowden en tering the boneo shortly afterwards discovered his wife'* prostrate body on the floor. Ho picked her op and placed her on the bed and summoned medical aid. Charlie George was captured at the S par tan burg junction endeavoring to leave the city on a southbound freight train. Sheriff White took him in charge. To night J. M. Bowden swore ont a warrant against him charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill and he is lodged in the county jail. No reason is assigned for bis rash, cowardly and brutal attack by a white man on his sister; Mrs. Bowden is still unconscious from the effects- of her injuries and grave doubts are entertained for Uer recovery. The Brite Hill. Thc Summerville Nows says that thc reports from the primaries io the various countries be eui to indicate that a minority of the next legislature will favor the passage of the original i Brice hill unamended. "While the provibions of the hill," says The New?, "are altogether reasonable and thoroughly in accord with Democratic principles, the passage of such an act will be regarded by thc dyed-in-the wool dispenearyites as a blow to their pet institution. There are those on thc other hand who will view with great satisfaction any action by the legislature that may tend to leseen the power and influence of the un scrupulous politicians who are grow ing fat and arrogant on dispensary patronage, and who have managed in the past to successfully stave oil any investigation of their misuuauags ment of the great institution that con tinues to deal out death and destruc tion indiscriminately, and that is so largely responsible for the many crimes that have blackened the name of South Carolina during the years that have passed since the reform (?) movement placed the affairs of the State in the hands of Mr. Tillman and his follow ers. Ic will be pleasant for the peo ple of Dorchester county to reflect that in thc house, at least, the vote of their representative, Capt. John S. Wimberly, will be cast in favor of the Brice bill, and further, that Capt. Wimberly has declared his position unequivocally in advance on the im portf.it issues likely to arise during the nexc session of the legislature." Fine Crops at the State Farms. The superintendent of the peniten tiary, Capt. D. J. Griffith, is back from the State ft-m and is wearing "the smile thatv on't come off." The occasion of all this exultation on his part is the fact that never in the history of the State farms have such crops been made. The corn will make about 25 to 30 bushels? to the acre and there are about 700 acres planted in this cereal. The cotton acreage has been equally as prolific and may pro duce from a bale and a quarter to a bale and a half an acre. Capt. Griffith docs not like to be quoted as saying so until he gets ali of the crop harves ted and garnered, but others who have seen the Reed ana PeSaussure farms are equally confident that the yield will be as heavy as stated. Capt. Griffith may be a modest man but he cannot deny the soft impeachment that he has had wonderful crops this year. From what can be learned the State farms make crops faster than they can be harvested. The force of convicts I at work there is being used in a tre mendous effort to gel the cotton pick ed and the corn in the barns before a spell of bad weather nomes on, but there is yet a large part of the crops ic the fields. There hos been some talk lately that the penitentiary authorities want the legislature to give them the 33 con victs used at Clemton college every year. ThiB squad could he used to ad vantage on the State farms. Clemson seems to he getting along very well with what revenue she has-and that revenue increasing annually. The penitentiary may urge a more pressing claim upon the legislature. Some statistics in regard to the penitentiary might he interesting. Thc institution was started in 1867, the first oonviot being admitted on the 8th of April. Since that time 1G, 050 have heen admitted. The pop ulation of the institution today is 675, of whom 64 are in the reform Behool in Lexington county, 40 are women, 33 are at work on the Clemson college farm; and of the remainder 40 or 50 have been sent here from county ohaingangs for medical treatment and are worthless, so far as being able to work.--The State. We Will ?ala From The War. No matter whether the TVuboibug take a braoe and finally whip the Japs, or whether the Japs push their se ries of successes to a victorious finale, the trade of the United States should expand through the results of the war. If Russia wins out in the long run the protracted struggle will have exhaus ted her financially, and to proceed to the commercial development of Man churia and her other oriental provin - ces she mast sall in Amgrioas money I and American "get-up-and-get." Ja [ pan, if she wins, has already announ ced ?hst the "open* door" policy will be pursued io both Korea and . Man charla.
