headquarters. We are
headquarters for school
supplies. No one w h o

We have an immense line

selection of school supplies
we bring the experience of
many years.: : : : :

OUR IRON ORE.
Development of the nUnes to be Undertaken
by New Fork Parties.
W. D. Rushton, of New York city,
an experienced iron miner, has made
several trips to South Carolina and
given considerable time to examina
tion of the iron prospects in this vi
cinity, having made satisfactory ar
rangements with the owners of what
is known as the Co!. J. Logan Black
property. He will develop the iron
mines for the purpose of shipping the
ores and may later erect furnaces.
Before and during the Civil war,
large iron works were in successful
operation in this county on Buffalo
and King’s creeks and at Cherokee
Falls on Broad river, while smaller
furnaces were scattered through the
county. Increased transportation fa
cilities (and improved modern meth
ods of manufacture) enabled Pennsyl
vania and other Northern manufac
turers to crowd these local iron mak
ers out of the markets, and for over
thirty years the mines have been idle.
Some of the best experts in this
country and abroad have examined
our deposits and reported the quality
to be equal to the best Swedish ores.
Mining engineers declare.that at least
20,000,000 tons are in sight, and
probably twice that amount of high
grade ore is available.
What attracts especial attention to
our ore is the fact that it is nominally
free from phosphorous, sulphur and
titanic acid, producing an iron which,
converted into steel, makes a product
which cannot be equalled by any ore
mined in this country and equal to
that made from the best Swedish ore.
It possesses a fibre which is unusual
and the product, though tough, is
soft and ductile.
Prof. Toomey says: “It developed
58 per cent, of metallic iron.” Prof.
Leiber, “that these ores yield steel
that is unrivaled, ductile, soft, close-
grained and of remarkable quality.”
Froeling: “Found silicia 4.840 per
cent.; metallic iron, G5.892 per
cent.; manganese and titanum, none;
phosphorous, 0.001 per cent. Prof.
N. A. Prate: Met iron, 59 99; sul
phur and titanic acid, none; phos
phorous, a trace.

Mammoth Beets.
Prof. R. O. Sams on Wednesday
presented The Ledger with several
beets, one of which weighed fifteen
and a half pounda. They are of the
Mangel Wuzzel variety and are need
lor food for cattle. The Prof, says
cattle are verv food of them and that
they make a 'nutritious food, and
it would be bard to estimate what
quantity of them could be produced on
an acre of ground. Prof. Sa' is has
succeeded with them, now le * >m«
other Gherokeeans try them.
Northey-BurgMs.
Mr. Alman Northey and Miss Vir-
gie Burgess were married on Snnday
the 31st of August by Magistrate
William Philips. These worthy young
people have many friends in the city

wishes for future happiness and pros

THE GRAND SHOE SALE
TO BE CONTINUED ONE DAY MORE
MAKING IT LAST TILL SATURDAY NIGHT.
Without remarkable success we could not afford to continue
this sale. Never before have the eyes of the Gaffney people been
opened with as simple a thing as selling cheap shoes, but it’s
enough to open the eyes of all seekers after low prices. Just
think of getting a $3 shoe for $1.98, a $2 shoe for $1.50, a $1.50
shoe for $1 and a $1 shoe for 75c. Come while the iron is hot
and while shoes are cheap. Two more days only.

Metallc Iron 66.827
Hyland. Broadhead, Ruffin, Wilder,
Wilson, Henderson and others have
reported upon the quantity. The
Southern Railway assures transporta
tion facilities to meet the output of
the mines aud which will suable the
miner to dispose of the ore at a pro
fit in markets as far away as Pitts
burg; all assurances of Mr. Rush-
ton’s success. Except be could ship
an immense quantity par year it
would not pay him, however; which
is an assurance to our community
of extensive works, a large increase
to our working population and in
creased values added to everything in
the vicinity. An output of several
hundreds of thousaude of tone of ore
yearly from these mines aud of each
high grade ore as would attract fur
nace men and the erection of such
plants will surely follow. That the
ore bodies lay east and weet of Broad
river insuree a share of the good for
tune to Blacksburg andGaffuey alike,
and every one wishes Mr. Rushton
success in his new enterprise.
