Cox, charged with th<- mur der of Evan' Rivers, last December, In Wardmalaw, was declared not guilty by a jury Thursday afternoon in tne court of general sessions in Chari' on it was about 2:45 o'clock when the jury retired and after an hour of deliberation, the verdict was brought in. The trial occupied the day at ’he court house, and was wit nessed by a large number of people, the 4 ’ellow-plantors of Mr. Cox being especially in evidence. They shook him wn: nly by the hand at o r tl < verdict had been declared New and Novel Manner 0 f Amusing a New Comer to Gaffney. \n old, long-ilowing, gray bearded, patriarchal proverb says that there is nothin® ne w under the sun. This may be true in the main, and in so far as it refers to the commodity in its original state: but even in this • nlightened (?) age there he things that are new and ways and manners and customs that are strange and mys- torious to some whose pathway in life has. perhaps, conducted them by shady and gloomy by-ways through wooded regions wherein lurked wild beasts and wilder savage men. and the stillness of whose solitudes was broken only by the cry of the pan ther. the howl of the wolf or the crack of the moonshiner’s rifle, and where the sunlight of civilization (?) was ever an unknown quantity. To such a one, it may he, old Sol does occasionally shine upon something nevv among things terrestrial. Some few weeks ago a young man arrived in Gaffney—which, by the way, is nothinsr new nor strange, -ine,. Gaffney is a thi.ving little city and offers many inducements to youn L r men who are looking for legi timate employment. Something about this particular young gentleman soon attracted the attention of other young men 0 f tp,, city, who are ever ready, an,] eager, to accord a warm welcome to others of their sex whose guiding star steers them to Cherokee’s metropolis. Whether or not it was something in this young immigrant’s general makeup that in- spire,’ idea, will perhaps never he known to a certainty, but in con- sidering the manner in which they "ouh] extend to him a formal wei- '•eme, with the proper trimmings to make him a full-fledged citizen of the town with all its righis and pi ivileges, the hoys hit upon <* diver sion in the way of amusement known <> the more advanced and enlighten- e<l devotees in the world o*' sport as a “snipe hunt.” As soon as tjj, idea was conceived and the details arranged, a committee was appointed to wait upon the young man and acquaint him with Hie na Mire of the entertainment gotten up fur his especial benefit, and to learn his pleasure i n the matter. Being a uew and novel mode of amusement <o him, in which he could scent a large amount of fun and enjoyment, lie readily acquiesced, and became very enthusiastic over the prospects, eh n i ■ m was further heightened by the assurance of the committee that a contract had al ready been made in advance for the game in sight, (in Hie mind’s eye!) A certain night was agreed upon, and promptly at the hour, as the show bills say, the party, with the young man in tow, repaired to the hunting- groump decided upon, and there pro ceeded t (> eomple-to the arrangements for entrapping his snipeship.

Was Looking For Coal When Dis covery 0 f Kainif was Made in The Blacksburg Section. The Columbia Record of Friday afternoon con'ained the following in teresting item concerning the min erals pf this county. Kainit, one of the most costly and important ingredients of commercial fertilizers, very likely exists in untold quantities among the foot-hills of the Piedmont, according to Mr. L. B. Do zier. formerly head of the big whole sale machinery and plumbing supplies concern of the L. B Dozier company of this city. Mr. Dozier recently went to Gaff ney and Blacksburg, as the result of representations made to him. by Dr. R. kb Lee and other expert miner- altogists and geologists, and what he found by personal investigation sur prised and gratified him. although he already knew something in a gen eral way of the immense and practi cally untouched mineral resources of the Cherokee hills. Mr. Dozier is very much pleased over the prospects, not only for kainit. hut baukrite, thorium and other min erals. and is satisfied Hia* before many years some great fortunes are going to be dug from the Cherokee slopes. He is still pursuing his investigations, hut is naturally not very communica tive as to his plans or as to the ex act location of the prospects in which he is interested. Mr. Dozier’s explorations among tlie Cherokee hills were undertaken with the primary purpose of ascer taining whether the coal deposits, of which indications had been found, were sufficiently extensive and of such quality as would make it com mercially practicable to develop them. He has had no reason to doubt the existence of workable coal beds there, bo says, and will continue bis pros pecting in the neighborhood. The immense value that a mine of food steam coal at Blacksburg would have may readily he recognized when it is remembered that Blacks burg is in the very heart of the Piedmont textile district—only a few inile s from Charlotte, the Lowell of ’he South, and is tlie junction point of the main line , t f the Southern rail way ami of the Southern's line from Kingville. S. C to Marion. X. ('. the old Three C’s —and that, further more. the long ’ranstnontane line of Hk- new South and Western road, now building, will also pass Blacks burg. Practically all Hie kainit used in the United States—and va-t quanti ties are annually pu* into the ground straight. t 0 say notbiiur of the greater quantities used in factories—is im ported from Germany being brought over by shiploads, loose in the hold. Probably one-third the sailing ves sel- which mai e the p'irt of Charles ton hriii;: kainit cargoes.

SYNDICATE CLOSES OVER THREE MILLION. Many a sweetheart turns on; to be a bitter disappointment as a v,ife. Kentucky Timber and Coal Land Bought For a Song an d Sold at a Big Profit. For months rher e has been rumors of a big deal in Kentucky timber and coal lands in which one of Gaffney’s ties* known business men was inter ested hut not until yesterday was The Ledger given permission to say anything about it. Several months ago Mr. \Y. C. Car penter ami his brother. J. Kit Car penter. who is well known here, journeyed over into Eastern Ken tucky. In the course of their pil grimage the'- took note of the wonder ful coal a no timber lands that lay dormant along their route and they arrived at the conclusion that there were “millions in it.” At Winches ter. Ky.. •hey formed the acquaint ance of a real estate agent by the name of C. E. Smith. The three formed a co-partnership ami began purchasing and taking options on this land It lay in a rough moun tainous country ami was being offer ed at. ridiculously low prices. All together these gentlemen purchased and secured options on 23i.ino acres. They then went, to Pittsburg, Pa., and offered the land for sale. Foi several months they dickered with a N'orthern syndicate and finally closed out a large part of their hold ings at $20 per acre. 1 hi* deal amounted tc ever t.TaO.OiJO. and the three partners realized over $5,000.- i")0 profit. This is the story. It reads like a chapter from the Arabian Knights, but it is a truthful statement of facts. The Ledger was made acquainted with ’he deal almost from the first, but these gentlemen did not want unvthing published until all the de tails had been arranged, and. since , is the dut of all good newspapers • 0 k-eep inviolate any secrets entrust ed to tiiem we would not publish the storv until given permission. Messrs. W. C. and Kit Carpenter have a hos’ of friends here and there L no on- who knows them who will not rejoice in their good tortune and congratulate *hem o : . their business acumen.

"WHITE DIAMOND LITHIA.” The Indications Point to a Most Suc cessful Season.
