The week has somewhat leS> than a seasonable amount of sunshine, ow ing to the frequent occurrence of thunderstorms during the middle of the day that caused much local cloud iness. The temperature was high through out the week and over the entire State, the maximum temperatures having risen to 90 degrees, or above, even- day. and at a few places rose to over 1 ■ 1(1 degrees on one or more days. The average temperature for %e week was slightly above normal, and the extremes were a maximum of lu2 degrees at Blackville on June 28. and a minimum temperature of 58 de grees at Greenville op June 20. The precipitation was unevenly dis tributed. some localities having had excessive amounts and others record ed deficiencies. The largest local amount for the week was 5.2d inches at St. Matthews. The smallest amounts occurred generally on the j tial!.- She'bv is the Center of Activities in the Mineral that Has Made the Pretty Gas Light Common. (Charlotte Observer.) The coming of Mr. Thomas A. Edi- j son to North Carolina has revived the interest in the mineral resourses \ of the State. It is said that the emi- j nent inventor found cobalt in work- ! able quantities in four counties and ' that he will have machinery installed ! and mine it. Shelby is the center of the monazite industry in this section of the coun try. Mr. L. A. Gettys. of that pros- 1 perous little town, is a practical op- i erator and has hammered away at j monazite until he has interested j manv people in mining and selling i the mineral. The Century dictionary ] describes monazite as “a phosophate of the cerium metals, usually con- i taining some thorium silicate. It is a rare mineral, occurring in small J brownish-red. or yellowish-brown I monoclinic crystals, also massive with 1 resinous luster, and is found at Nor- j wich, in Connecticut, in North Caro- : lina. among the Urals, and else- ; where. It is a prominent accesory, i constituent of granitic rocks in some | localities, and when these rocks have i been disintegrated by natural causes ! it has been (as in North Carolina and Brazil) obtained by washing the | gravels, in very large quantities.” The thorium in the monazite makes I it very valuable in this age of prog- ! ress because of the Welsbach man- | tel. Thorium is ‘‘the metallic base of j the earth thoria, discovered by Ber- ! zelius, in 1828, in a mineral from Nor- | way. to which the name of thorite is now given, and which consists essen- of the silicate of thorium.

C. Ellis accompanied the I newspaper man on his rounds and : introduced him to the gentlemen ; mentioned in the foregoing paragraph. About a year ago Messrs. Head | and Swain began to build the concen trating plant that they are now run- ' ning. Instead of waiting for the mon- ! azite to wash out into the streams i they are mining it from its original | beds. The granite in which it is j found is blasted or picked out and i carted to a crusher, where it is ground ! into pieces about the size of walnuts. From the crushing mill the rock is ! carried bv means of an elevator into I bins to be run between rollers that | convert it into fine grains, which in turn are run through a screen, the finer material drifting into the refin ing mills and the rougher matter re maining to be re-crushed. After be ing pulverized the monazite is forced through screens by means of water, which carries it through pipes to vi brating taides. where, by being heav ier than the other materials which ac companies it, it settles while its for mer associates are carried on in (he water. The monazite is gathered from tb^ tables, dried, put into sacks and shipped away. This plant, the only one of the kind in the world, is complete; the building is a three-storied frame af fair. made to order. It has been in I operation about ninety days and Mr. | Head, who looks after the details, j thinks that it will prove a success. | It is a 100-horse power plant, with a ; capacity of 200 tons per day. Two j engines are used, one for the crush- | ine and the other for the refining I machinery. If one were to break the | other could be used to run the entire i plant. An alarm bell, in the engine room, Is connected with every other room in the building so that in the j case of accident the touching of a ; button will notify the engineer. Ev- j erything is done with a thoroughness that attracts the attention of the most i casual observer. If a workman is cut j in any wav there are bandages and other appliances. I Messrs. Head and Swain are the most interesting feature* of the plant. They are well-educated, genteel young Britons, with a peculiar accent and fascinating twang that Americans, es pecially Southerners, notice. They have fitted up a beautiful little cot tage on the hill, near the mill, where they have a valet de chambre. plenty of good things to eat and drink and a latch string that hand's on the out side. Swain is interested in pigs and Head in chickens, which at this time have the cholera, and turkeys As Dr Ellis and the Observer man were beating about the place with Mr Head they spied a man, far returned to town, where the latter in terview Mr. Gettys. , Mr. Gettys was raised in Ruther ford county. He is a plain, painstak ing business man, with few frills and plenty of accurate knowledge. He likes to collect, study and mine min erals. He has a fine collection of North Carolina minerals. He began tmying monazite in 1992 and has in creased his purchases each year since. For a long time he sold the crude mineral, with the garnet, the Iron and the silica in it, but now he refines it and sells the monazite. He buys the sand, as it is gathered from the streams by collectors, or op erators, and dumps it into a hopper, from where it runs over a system of moving magnets, where first the iron is attracted; second, the garnet third, the monazite leaving the ca to flow on. As a result he iron, garnet, monazite and silica, sand, as brought to market, contains about thirty per cent, monazite. this being an average. The very best suff will yield eighty per cent. Close to 1,000 tons of the crude sand was gathered in the counties of Burke, Cleveland, Caldwell, Lincoln, Gaston, Rutherford, McDowell and Iredell, this State, and Spartanburg, Cherokee and Greenville, South Caro lina, last year. The prices at present run from $200 to $250 per ton for the refined product; the crude stuff brings about one-third that much. Monazite is found in granite. It washes out and concentrates in the bottom of streams, while the lighter sands flow on with the water. It Is very rare to find it exposed in its original p»ate The Welsbach light has created a steady demand for monazite or the thorium which it contains, ranging in quantity from two to six nei cent. There seems to Le a demand for so much and no mci c. The gat net and iron extracted Irom the crude sand is not being used for anything. Mr. Get tys has many bins of it.

July 2.—During the ses- i sion of the investigating.committee this evening Mr. R H. Welch asked that he might be allowed to present an affidavit from Mr. Samuel J. Lan- ah.an. of Baltimore. He said that they had not been able to get Mr. Lanahan to appear in person, and that the affi davit set their client right, and the committee permitted the following af fidavit to be read: "State of Maryland, County of Rich land : “Personally came before me S. J. Lanahan. who upon oath deposes and savs that with reference to the testi mony of Mr. Lewis W. Parker, before the dispensary investigating commit tee at Columbia. S. C.. on the 0th day of June. 1906, he makes the following statement: Mr. L. W. Boykin was employed by the firm of William. Lan- ahan & Son. as a salesman, but this was months prior to his ^lection as a member of the board of directors of the State dispensary; that Mr. Boy kin had severed his connection with said firm as said s^sman. and other wise, about a year before his said election. While Mr. Boykin was in our employ as said salesman, he was paid a salary, of course, but this salary ceased the moment he served his con nection with the firm as salesman. He has never been in our emplov since, nor have I or any member of our firm paid him one dollar as salary or oth erwise since he severed his connect ion as above stated with our business. I never told Mr. Parker anything dif- ferent from this. From what Mr. Parker has testified to before the com mittee he has evidently either entire ly misunderstood what I ha\e said and meant, or his recollection of what was said is absolutely erroneous. I never meant by anything that was said to convey the impression that while Mr. Boykin was a member of the board he represented me or my firm or that we were paying him one cent. ’ “(Signed) Samuel J. Lanahan.” The dispensary investigating com mittee adjourned today subject to the f* n 11 of the chairman. This will very likely be the last session of the com mittee unless something unexpected develops or some one finds out supie- thing, or there should be a conscience witness. The committee, after months of work, has the following resolution before the committee, it was offered by Chairman Hay: “Resolved, That all prohibitions and restrictions on payments of any and all accounts claimed to be due by the State dispensary heretofore imposed by the dispensary investi gating committee be and the same are hereby removed and recalled; that the dispensary commission and t'*^ State board of directors of the dispensary be authorized to examine all past claims against the dispen sary with the advice of counsel of said board of directors and to pay or settle in such manner as they deem best, in whole or in part. an v and all of such claims, and that the State treasurer is authorized to pay all orders of dispensary commission for such claims.” When the committee was called up on to vote it was determined that the final result should not be de clare’ until all the members of the committee had been fully heard from •and had voted. Without such an understanding members would not have voted. Messrs. J. T. Hay. Thos. B. Fraser and Cole L. Blease voted for the resolution and Mr. Frazer Lyon voted against its adoption. Messrs; Christensen, Spivev and Ar thur Gaston are yet to vote. If the absent members vote with Mr. Lyon the claims will not be paid. If one of them votes for the resolutions the whole of the claims go to the State board of control and pass out of the hands of the investigating committee, which has held their payment up more as a whip than anything else. Mr. Fraser plainly put his affirmative vote on the ground that the State had. by its representatives—the State board—bought the liquors, and whether the board of control paid double price for everything it bought or not, he felt th’St as the elected agents of the State had made the debts that the State would liave to pay. There is a whole lot of meat and marrow in the brief discussion incident to the preliminary vote of the committee on the resolution of Chairman Hay. by which $500,000 or $700,000 of debts of the former board were held up by the committee for more than six months.
