Cherokee'? Mineral Deposits.
Gaflfney, Special.?In the course of
an interview with Dr. 0. F. Lee the
eminent geologist and mineralogist
who is making a geological and min
eralogical survey of this county the
following facts were given. Cherokee
couuty has more mineral deposits of
larger and more varied kind than any
other county in the Union. Its iron
deposits ar? aboilt fourteen miles in
length and about 12 miles in width
and 15 to 400 feet deep, comprising
about 700,000,000 tons consisting of
i the following grades of irpn. Silicate
j of iron about 07) per cent., brown
[ hemalite iron about 80 per cent, spec
ular hematite iron about 1)3 pel* cent.;
magnetic iron about 92 per cent.,
' liminite iron about 05 per cent. Man
* . ? i ?
| ganese ho estimates at several million
(tons; bog or wad manganese is found
i in immense deposits covering a radium
of 16 miles in length comprising mil
lions of tons from 0 to 40 per cent, of
binoxide manganese. There is a veift,
of graphite extending from drover,
N. C., through Blacksburg to Gaffnev
and nine miles beyond to the south
west containing 10 per cent pure ear
bon from analysis of various eminent
chemists made especially for I)r. Lee
which is very gratifying to know
from a commercial -ctandpdint.
Largest Ginnory East of-Texas.
dreenwood, Special.?The high wa

Greenwood N oil millf> ginnery' was
reached here Friday When there were
ginned and packed lGS bales of cotton

the same size. Since itwa^MQBj
the one here has no rival outside of
Texas in size. .The 16 gins turn out
cotton in a jiffy. CapL F. S. Evans
manager for this district of the
Southern Cation Oil company says he
?believes this ginnery will gin ehve
around 7,000 bales of cotton this yea*
Last year the total crop of this coun
ty was a little over 27,000 bales. This
was a short crop but if this ginnery
gets 7,000 this year it. will be about
one fourth of the entire crop of the
country. Nearly 3,000 bales have
been ginned to date. ^
Revenue Districts Are to be Merged.
Columbia, Speeial.-r-As 'announced
in n special from Washington some
lime ago, the revenue district of Goor
,Tia will he merged into tho South Car
olina ? district with headquarters in
Columbia under the charge of Mnj.
Micah Jenkins the collector of intei'
nal revenue. This action is ta&en by
the revenue authorities according to
Capt. Johi^ G. Capers tho acting
commissioner of internal revenue be
cause of the prohibition law~which
will go into effect in<> January and
which will cut down the revenues of
that State from about $tf00,000 to
$35,000 approximately. The action
of the revenue authorities is impor
tant in that it probably means the
employment of additional clerical
force in Columbia and the fact thht
the national banks *in this eitv will
receive deposits heretofore going to
the national banks of Georgia.

WILL INVESTIGATE ESCAPE
Special Term tOf Anderson Court
Galled by Judge Hydrick.
Anderson, Special.r-Judge Hydrick
has ordered a special term of the gen
eral sessions court to convene her? on
Monday* October 21, at which time
the grand jury is cxpec.ted to make
some presentment concerning the es
cape of Allen Emerson from the
county jail. It was at the request
of the grand jury that'Judge Hydrick
issued the order for the spcciul term
of court.
Detectives from several agencies
have been in Anderson looking into
the jail delivery and one of tittup was
allowed to appear before the grand
jury.
Headers aro familiar with the kill
ing of Thomas F. Drake by Emerson
in Augusl, 1905. It will be remem
bered that Mr.- Drake walked into his
daughter's room and there found her
in a compromising position with Em*
erson. Shootihg commenced and
Drake fell dead. Emerson came to
the citwtnd gave himself up. lie was
at one time deputy sheriff and at the
time of the shooting was a chaingang
guard. His trial soon followed and
lie was found guilty of murder hut
was recommended to the mercy of the
court. - llis sentence was life impris
onment.
His attorneys, ready and willing to
do anything for the unfortunate man
carried the ense to the supreme court.
It was only about one week or pos
sibly ten days before the supcrcmc
court affirmed the decision of the low
er court that Emerson succeeded in
securing his freedom, lie left during
the night time and his whereabouts
have l>een o mystery ever sinoo. *
Almost every mail train arriving in
Anderson since the jail delivery of
Allen Emerson has brought quantities
of letters and inquiries to Sheriff'
?Green'8 office. A drty scarcely passes
that the sheriff does not rocoivo nu
merous telegrams. And the funny
part abou.t the whoie^alfair is that
every communication whether it he a
letter or a telegram, announces the
fact that Allen Emerson wanted in
Andersyn to serve a life senteuee for
the murder of Thomas F. Drake has
been captured. He. has been "cap
tured" every day in the week, almost
in Florida, Tennessee, North. Carolina
and other States, and some time he
is "captured" in two States on the
same day.
Sheriff Green in as anxious as any
body to cApturo Allen Emerson. He
investigates every bit of information
that comes to his office but the tele
grams aro getting to come so often
and all "collect" that he is*begin
ning to feel the burden. The tele
grams are not "boiled'! down, eithei
The senders evidently think that they
should put a lot in a telegram to im
press upon the sheriff that they really
have the escaped prisoner.
A couple of days ago the sheriff
received a tehtfgram from a man in
Ducktown, Tenn.,saying that he knew
positively tha( he had Emerson. The
sheriff can not afford to send a depu
ty everywhere to follow up wHd
goose chases, so he always hesitates
to investigate. The m^an at the other
end of the line kept on persisting by
telephone, by wire and by mail. Fi
nally Sheriff Green sent Deputy
Sheriff Scott to Ducktown to see the
captured man. He returned to An
derson emptvhauded. When Mr.
Scott arrived in the small mining
town of Ducktown he was led to a
hotel where four men wore sitting
around guarding a man who meekly
submitted to being placed at the best
hotel for safekeeping for a few days.
At first glance Mr. Scott saw that
the wrong man had been captured, so
the fellow waa given his freedom.
Before going, however, ha demanded
of Deputy Scott a written statement
saying that he had been arretsed, sus
pected of being Allen Emerson and
turned loose. His likeness was so
much like Emerson's that he was
afraid he would again be taken for
him.
The people here are^.'divided in
opinion as to EmeVson'* whereabout*
Some think that he has skipped to
another country. Others believe that
ho is in a neighboring State, while
the majority of the people believe
that Allen Emerson is* in Anderson^
county right now. u.
About three Weeks ago the Ander
son Intelligencer inserted a parr
graph in the "squib" column saving
that if Emcftiotk would furnish them
his address th?" paper would bo sent
him for one year free of charge. A
man using, the name of Emerson an
swered fi*%i Texas. The paper was
flnty ?ent and in a few days The
Daily Mail received a letter from tlie
Texas man saving that be bad rcceiv*
ed The Intelligencer and that he was
sailing for Constantinople via London
He also sept his "low" to all in
quiring friends.

GAME LAW AND LICtNStS
Must Secure Permit From Clerk of
Court?in Lexington No Hunting
Until November let.
Columbia, Special.?Mr. T. Gilbert
Pearson (lie secretary of the National
Audubon society was in the city n
few days agb in consultation with
Mr. ft. F. Taylor who 1h president of
the South Carolina branch. Mr. I'ear*
son has gone over with the nieiubers
of the society in this Stute (he law
passed at the laht sesbion of the gen
eral assembly and as the game season
is now on in a number of counties, it
is advisable and atmoHt necessary
that the pubic he informed as to the
requirements. The. section relating
to the hunting of deer saytf: ,
"It Is unlawful to hunt or kill deer
between the 1st of January and the
let of September except in the coun
ties of Clarendon, Colleton, Marlboro,
Kershaw, llorr.v, Hampton, Darling
ton, Marion, .Beaufort, Florence,
Charleston, Dorchester and Bcrkfey
wherein it shall he Unlawful between
the 1st of February and the 1st of
August. For violation party to be
hoed not less than $10 nor more than
if'io or by imprisonment not Icsh than
10 nor more than 25 days.
'*lt is unlawful to have in posses
sion any fresh deer skin or meat Ik*
twocn above doles,"
^ "Clone Season" for Birds.
The law then requires that any per
son desiring to hunt certain game
birds for scientific purposes shall sc
enic from the secretary of State a
certificate, for which a fee shall'be
paid. /* / v.
The hunting of quail and Wild tur
keys and such game has been general
ly misunderstood by the sportsmen of
Kichland because of an impression
that in Lexington county the "close
season 7 ends Oct. 15. This is a mis
take. That section of the act of tho
last general assembly says:
"It shall be unlawful to hunt any
wild turkey, quail, ftartridgc, wood
cock, Mongolian or othet^-pheasant,
between the lirst day of March and
the fifteenth day of November, except
in the following .counties where it
shall be unlawful to hunt them be
tween the first day of April and tho
first day of November: Beaufort,
Hampton,, Dorchester, Colleton, Chai
Icston, Barnwell, , Berkeley, Aiken,
Oconee, Lexington, Fairfield, Saluda,
Georgetown and Clarendon, or to sell
or expo*.:? t?r sale, ship or exnprt for
s^ite, to pofhunt, net trap, or by fire
light to catch, kill, iujure or pursue
with such, intent any of the birds
named in this section nor shall any
person destroy or rob the nests of
such birds. For violation on convic
tion they shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and shall be fined not
more than $20, or bo imprisoned not
more than 30 days. Nothing in this
act shall prevent the importation for
sale of any of the said birds. * TKi
having in possession of any of the
said birds sold or exposed for sale or
shipped shall be prima facie evidence
of a violation of this act and the bur
den to show that they were imported
from another State or Territory.
The South Carolina society hn? had
printed a number of certificates which
aro sent out to the clerks of court
to be issued to non-resident hunters
during the game season of this year
The law requires that a license of
$10 be paid to tho clcrk -of court in
which the hunting takes place and
does not give tho hunter the right to
trespass upon any private property.
A stub, to be kept by the clerk of
court requires that an itemized state
ment be turned into the Audubon so
ciety and a blank on the license gives
Ihe description of the license includ
ing height, color of hair, weight and '
eolor of eyes. The license is revoc
able by the society at any time..
The counties in the State of North
Carolina "last year received $10,000
in fees from the operation of this li- J
f-ense clause. Mr. B. F. Taylor, presi
dent of tho Audubon society of South
Carolina hae been to a great deal of
?xpense to get the people informed of
?he workings of the Audubon law, but
be expect* to get it all back when li
cense fees begin to come in and in
addition will have a surplus for next
year.
The game law of South Carolina
ioclnres all birds to be the property
?f the State. It is then declared un
lawful to kill any birds. There are
I hen certain exceptions named and
these exceptions are "game'? birds,
lo distinguish thern from birds of plu
mage and song.
The particular function of the Au
dubon Mociety is to protect aong and
plumage birds. But* the gamo bird#
also need protection during the breed-'
infc season. Therefore is it made uii-j
lawful to kill even game birds betwen
March and Nov. ? 15. There arc
14 counties however in which hunt
ing of game' birds is permitted untily
April i and the hunting season opens
Nov. 1, instead of the 15th a? in the
other 2Z counties. s . ? >.,

Monthly Sales at Dispensaries/*
Columbia, Special.? Dispensary
Auditor West, lias issued his state
ment showing the total sales at coun
ty dispensaries during the month of
September. The table show?that the
sales have grown in one month* nearly
$3.0,000 and only a few of the coun
ties lost by comparison with August.
Of these Florence lost about $1,000'
Georgetown about the' same amount/
Lexington about $600 and Kichland
about $2,500. - On the other hand
Charleston gained about $1,000 in
sales and Berkeley, Orangeburg and
Sumter over $3,000 each. The other
gains were not so largfc but enough
to run up the total , a considerable
sum. The sales in Charleston for the
month of July amounted to only
$17,092.31, but since then the now
beer dispensaries were established
ane one of these sold over $12,000
in supplies the next month.

follows:
"The uplift through Christian edu-yS
cation i*. the principal work of thi
American Missionary Association.
True, they aro not the only objects
of its interest and eare. All the des
pised races in our borders are includ
ed. T havo myself done a little
preaching from the bench of the Su
preme Cour^on the duty otf Christian
America to the heathen Chinese.
What I said made but slight impres
sion on the courts, but it will yet bo
heard and heeded by the great body
of American Christians. But thf
numbers of the colored people so sur
pass those of nil the others and-their -
reintions to the natftu are so pecu
liar that not unnaturally" we look
oarnestly npojL-tl?9 work pf the asso*
oiation among the colored j>eople. And,
their vast numbers attest the "value oi
this work to the nation. Surely any-,
thing which is uplifting que-ninth of
our population mustNbe of profound
interest to all
Tirm Believers to Social Order.

and as is this colored and enfirauuv^

ers may be too fond of the ebiekco

are firm belieyeri in social order.
