Recently valuable deposits of marble have been found in Oconee county, not far from Walhalla. The most valuable; lied SO for discovered in on tho place of Mr. T. N. Hall. Mr. C. H. May new, a practical marble man, hhj'h that within eight miles of Walhalla there is one of the largest marble deposits in tho whole country, and the specimens taken from it are susceptible of the highest polish. About the only thing need, ful is sufficient capital to establish a quarry aud begin ',o develop the rnarblo beds. We have not a shadow of n doubt but that the roports from Oconee are true, and we believe too, that similar beds exist in Pickens. While wo do not know just what grade of marble Pickens county offords, we du know that the amount of" granite in the county exoeeds any other county in. At - a - - hip otaie, ration oi it is sunceptiblu of the highest polish, and the development of this portion of our mineral resources means much for the future of our county. Tho eirly development of these natural resources is' sure to come. The vote polled on August 30th reached high water mark?a little1 over 105,000, which is the heaviest vote ever polled in tlte Htato. Pickens county polled a little over 2800, i against 2861 in the last primary. V'r' ^ i" \ 1 . ; , ' " Cofctott i? ) eginning to opea right fr?^ly ou red lands.

President Polk In Boston. Charles J.

Tho clerk walked in front of " him down the length of iut> market, ' Announcing in loud tones: 1 "'Make way, gentlemen, for the president of the United States! The president of the United States! Fei- ' low citizens, make room!' "The chief executive had stepped into one of tho stalls to look at soma game when Mr. Rhodes, the secre- 1 tary, turned around suddenly and, finding himself alone, promptly changed his tone and exclaimed: "'My gracious! where has that confounded idiot got to ?'"?Louis- ! villo Herald. A CareloM Drstier. Camille Pelletan, French minister of marine, has a disregard for ths I niceties of dress which makes him a favorite with carioouUia. His white j hair and beard seem to be absolutely unacquainted with a comb, his trousers are nearly alwaya too long, ' and he delights in frock, coats sev- 1 eral sizes too large for him. Hugo boots, faded necktie and cuffs that are generally on the verge of fringe are other parte of his unique makeup. His friends remonstrate with htm regarding his carelessness, but M. Pelletan responds calmly, "What matter bo long as I am comforta* blc ?" Carbolio Add In Warfare. Among the supplies that are being s affectcd by the. war ic carbolic acid.
