Interest continues to grow. The JJattle Ground people are going Jnhead making all necessary preparations on the old historic field, and others in every section of the county are moving with a spirit which shows that they are proud that they live in a county where was fought one of the most important and decisive battles of the Revolution. And that they intend to make such a showing on the glorious old field where heroes sleep, on the 27th, that will show that their pride is based on a proper ap preciation of the officers and men who overcame Tarlcton, and the effect of the battle of the Cowpens on the general of result the struggle of our hero patriot ancestors for freedom. Gaffney City, correctly appreciating the duty of all Cherokeeans in this effort to honor heroes long since gone, has given a liberal sum to the Memorial Association to aid it in its praiseworth, work. And the Associa tion knowing the efforts that are being made in other sections of Chero kee, and knowing that the whole county is as liberal and patriotic as Gaffney, confidently expects every town and hamlet in the county to put their shoulders to the wheel now, and roll off in the direction that will contribute most to the success of the celebration on the 27th, which is Cherokee’s enterprise and Cherokee’s duty. Every woman and man. girl and boy In the county, who have had any work assigned them, must work with renewed energy now, so in the future Whey can look hack with pride on the part they playo l in the celebration on the Cowpenebattle ground in IS'.l'.t. no mi: nut n imi-tov There is a voluntary movt mont on foot in different parts of tlio State to raise money with which to build a j house for General Hampton. It will be | remembered that the General’s house was burned a week or two ago, and I there being no insurance, the bouse and contents were a total loss. 'Ibis is the third time that the house of the old hero has been consumed by lire, and lie is now a very poor man. We wish that the movement would take some definite and organized shape, as there are thousands of -brave men and lovely women in South Carolina, who will see to it that the grand old patriot and war rior is made comfortable during the closing days of his glorious life, pro vided onlv they be allowed to do so through some r> liable organization. The News and Courier proposes to receive and deposit in bank “subject to tlie order of the proper commit tees,” any contributions that may be sent it. bet the Columbia State do likewise, and let the contributions roll in at once from the mountains to the seaboard.

NOTES AM) OOM.MENTK. The farmers of Cherokee are mov ing up as we knew they would move. One can hardly see much evidence on the farms now of an unprecedently late spring. Corn is up and growing, cotton is about all planted and much of it is up, while oats and wheat are doing all they can to come in on time. "With good seasons the farm ers will be iiappy yet. ♦ ♦ The finding of the court in the had beef case, reminds us of the decision of the bear in the case between the wolf and the fox. The wolf had the fox indicted for larceny, and after a tedious hearing and lengthy argu ments on both sides, the hear, as judge, decided that the wolf hud lost no goods, while on the other hand the fox had stolen twice as much as he was charged with. Miles seems to be the wolf in this case and Hagan the fox. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The war in the Philippines drags its slow length along. Every few days the news comes that our forces are just about to kill and capture the whole Malay race, and the news papers ta: their fonts ami their brains for the headlines ilia! will suitably impress the glorious news. But the plans don’t materialize; there is another side which is not shown. We are satisfied now that the best informed military men are firmly convinced that it will take 100,000 men to accomplish the pro posed work in the Philippines. But never mind, the people foot the bills. ncH-klmrt Loral*. (Correspondence o( The Ledger.) Lockhart, May 5.—M. M. Finley, M.

This grass if kept in a place where it can be utilized for pasturage is equal to, or superior to, any of the cultivated grasses. But there is not such a thing as con trolling it that we know. Last Monday wo met our old friend Mr. E. It. Supoch, of Gaffney, lie reports the peach crop in his section a failure on account of the winter fre» ze. He lives in one of the best fruit growing sections of Cherokee county. There is hardly a farm in his section on which there is not a first-class orchard of a!! kinds of fruit. The Messrs. Martin are lead ers in peach growing and the Messrs. Sapoch and Rippey had the most ex uberant crop of luscious ipples we found in our travels in that, section Iasi summer. We speak of these more particularly because we can bear witness to the excellence and bounty of their orchards. Others are just as good and their owners just as liberal and attentive to the welfare of and comfort of strangers. We expect to visit those people again this summer. Rev. Mr. Samples will preach ut Abingdon creek next Sabbath 11th inst., at 11 o’clock. Wheat crops are begining to make a little show. There is not a great deai if either wheat or oats sown in our community this season. There was too much rain during the sowing season. Several parties have been catching fisli out of Broad river and Thicket} and Gilkey’s creek lately. From what we learn there is a fair sup pi} of fish on our streams now—much more than has been for several year- past. The law to protect them is largely a dead letter, like several other laws on our statute books. Land owners have in many cases stopped such reckless hunting and fishing on their premises and this accounts largely for the abundant supply now in our waters. For the past few is growing rapidly.

The Story of the tneient and Almost T'oruotten Dcserel (iolit Money—l-’ovv of the* 1*1 eee* Are lo Exlateuet* nt the Present Time. Tho ancient coirntgo of Utah, the period when tlie glittering particles of yellow gold from California were mint ed in a little auobo building in Halt. Lake, has been half forgotten. The written and printed records of that time, by a strange oversight, throw no light on the subject. Those Utahans whoso memory dates back tolfilf) remember the estabLsh- meut of tho mint, hut the exact dates are confused. It was some time toward tho close of IK4H tha'^ho mint was in augurated as a meat. * of public con venience. Brigham Y<mug was the in stigator of the coinage sys’ -m and exer cised a personal suporvLTon over the work. Prior to Dio establishment of the mint all gold dust had to be weighed when payments for uierchaudise or other ar ticles were made. In many cases the nn rebuilt with whom the purchaser was dealing had no gold scales, and much trouble resulted. The metal was too precious toadmitof guesswork in as- certaiuiug tho weight required to cover a given sum, and tho customer would lo put to the trouble of looking up scales to aid him in his payment. Old timers disagree as to who made the dies xviih which the gold was stamped into $2.50, $5, *10 and $20 coins. The honor lies between John Kay and James M. Barlow. Kay was a mechanic and Barlow a jeweler and dentist. Judge Hammond of Sau Juan, who came to Utah in 1818, says that dies were made by both men. Ho thinks Kay made the first, which were unsatisfactory and imperfect, and that Barlow made the later ones. Thomas Bullock was chief clerk and active director of the mint during its entire operation. The gold which was used came chiefly from California, much cf it being brought here by members of the Mormon battalion on their return from the Mexican war. They curried the precious dust and nuggets in buckskin pouches to the mint, where it was. weighed and coined absolutely without alloy. Tho mint building was at that time a considera bly moro pretentious structure than it is today, it was two stories high and contained half a dm on rooms. Tho crucibles in which the gold was melted wore in tho cellar. Tho primi tive machine with which the cooling metal was stamped into coin stood in a back room on the first tloor. All tlie work was done by hand and every piece cf tho machinery was made by Halt Lako artisans. Of necessity, no base motal appeared in the liui.-hed product. Twenty-live grains of gold was thw equivalent of a dollar. The man who had (57’.j grains turned that amount over to Mr. Bullock, who nut it at ouco to Messrs. Kay and Bar- low. It was immediately melted and turned into a coin of the value of $2.5U. Ho it was with the pieces of larger de nomination, and the mint customer, if ho to dt sired, could follow his metal with his eyes from his pouch through the crucible, press and stamp. No toll was taken out of tho gold, the coinr.go hoing absolutely free. At first tlie $2.50 pieces were most plenti ful and popular. Then a large number cf <5 coins wire made, and these, with the first named, constituted the bulk of the mint’s work. Not many $10 pieces wore minted, and tho $20 coins were still fewer. Tho mint ceased operations in 1800 because <i the appearance insufficient quantities cf United Hiatus gold and silver coins. Although the space of time since tho last pouch was emptied into Thomas Bullock’s “mrin-y mill,” as it was culled, is comparatively short, few cf tho coins are known to bo in exist ence today. Because of their purity they wore rapidly, and as a consequence de teriorated in value by erosion. Many of thorn were rcmelted and made into necklaces, chains and other articles of jewelry. Apostle Brigham Young has a watch chain that was made from two of the $20 pieces. He had the chain made in Switzerland while in that country some years ago. E. H. Pierce has one $20 coin, and several others are in possession of Halt Lakers. When President Brigham Young died in 1877, his executors, in going over his personal property, found a locked strong box. On forcing tlie lid a num ber of tho coins of the period described were found. They covered all tho de nominations, and were sold at auction, biiugiug a premium over their face value. President Young's sou, Apostle Brigham Young, at that time secured six of tlie $5 denomination, which he stLl has. Tho others were scattered in su< h a way u;. to make it impossible to tri i o them. Two sets of dies were used for the $5 pieces. The first, set, as has been stated, proving unsatisfactory, another set wan made. No milling appears on tho edges except in tho lust issues. Tho lettering and other technical points on both sets were imperfect, but the coins served their day and purpose well. They passed current at (heir faco value as readily outside of Utah as within its borders. The California slug circulated also very freely here and was used for other purposes besides money. Apostle Brig ham Young said recently that as a boy he had frequently seen men pitching quoits with California slugs.—Salt Lake Tribune. SoiyIiik the- Seed*.

Maynard, May 5.—Wo have been very jubilent over tho prospects of getting u free rural mail delivery to this place to be known as the Easly route, but it now seems that it is mixed with a good many uncertain ties. Tlie postoffice inspector who was sent out to inspect the various locations was very favorably im pressed with it as a location for a free rural delivery station, but it seems that we.are dependent upon the ciiarity of the post office authori ties at Washington for the establish ment of this station, as the amount of the free rural delivery appropria tion secured by Mr. Latamer, our representative, has been exhausted in the establishment of other sta tions in this district. T. T. and Ed. Wimpey, Hloan Childers and “Octavus” went to Liberty last Saturday. Liberty is an enterprising little town situated on the Airline railroad in Pickens county. “Octavus” is proud of tlie fact that lie has one time in his life been “at Liberty.” However, he behaved himself very well. The business men of Pickens held a meeting some time ago and adopted resolutions looking towards the building of a cotton mill at Pickens, but it is thought by many to be doubtful as to whether they will he able to build the mill without the cooperation of the business men of Easley. It seems to us that it would be a capital thing for the county to build a mill nt both places. It will take our farmers at least till tho middle ot the month to get through with the planting ol their crops. Octavus. ITM'lailiied Letter-*.
