Tuesday morning a L-tdger repre sentative chanced to meet Cupt. 8. 3 Ross, now of tin ore fame, and in answer to an inquiry as to when he would begin the shipment of tin ore from his mine. Capt Ross said: ‘ If jou hate time come with me and I will show you something.’' The Lodger man accompanied ('apt. Ross to the frame building adjoining the Cherokee Foundry and Machine Works, where several laborers were engaged in sacking a peculiar looking black sand. “There,” said the Cap tain, “we are making preparations to ship the first lot of tin ore ever shipped in the United States from a mine discovered in this country. We will begin loading Wednesday, and Friday the first car 1 >ad of tin ore will leave Gaffney for New York, where it will be placed on board a steamship for Europe. It has become necessary to ship it to Europe be cause of the failure to establish a tin ore smelter at Bayonne, N. J.. as has been contemplated. The output of this mine at present would not justify the establishment o* a smelter and as there are no other mines in this country to supplement the sup- oly, it would be unwise to attempt the establishment of a tin ore smelter just now. My first shipment will amount to from 40000 to oO.OOO pounds.” Capt. Ross will go to New York to deliver to the European agents the tin ore from his mine. During his absence be will purchase suitable machinery, which will be installed as rapidly as possible, and then the work of getting out the ore will begin in earnest. In the crude fashion heretofore adopted Capt. Ross, with a force cf eight to ten laborers, has hi*en enabled to get out this ship ment in three months. With Im proved machinery he will be able to greatly increase the output of the mine. When asked at to the probable quantity of the ore at the mines. Capt. Ross said: “There is no tell ing how much ore we have. Certain it is that there is enough in sight to warrant the installation of improved machinery.” Capt. Ross is a very cautious gen tleman, rather reticent when talking about his tin mine, and at no time boastful. It is therefore safe to say that “there are millions In It.” At the building where the ore was being sacked a crew of laborers were busy putting the ore into the canvass sacks. One hundred pounds was placed in a sack and then the sack was sewed securely. Already over two hundred sacks had been sewed and there were tons upon tons of the cassiterite piled up in the centra of the floor. This ore is very heavy and it does not require a great bulk of it to weigh one hundred pounds The work was being done under the supervision of Capt. J. T. Thuckston, who was keeping a watchful eye on the work. Triumph of Manhood. Next Sunday at Buford street M. E Church South will be devoted spe cially to the children and young peo ple. In the morning the pastor will preach a special sermon to the chil dren and young people. At 3 30 d. m. the Rally Day exercises, consist mg of songs and recitations hv the children, will take place. At 7 30 p m. the pastor will preach the lust of his series of sermons to young men Subject will bo: “A Triumph of Manhood” A Steady Subscriber. The following from an exchange expreeses the sentiments of all coun> try editors: “How dear to our heart is the steady subscriber who pays in ad vance at the birth of each year, who lays down his dollar an - ’ lays it down gladly, and casts around the office i halo of cheer. He never says ‘stop it, I can’t nfford it’ nor‘I’m getting- more papers than I can read,’ but al ways says ‘send it—the family like it—in fact, we all think it a house hold need.' How welcome he is w hen he steps in the sanctum, how lie makes our heart throb, how he makes our fret dance We outwardly thank him, we inwardly bless him; the steady subscriber who pays in ad vance.” For sick headache try Chamber lain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets; they will ward off the attack if taken | 'n time.
