OUR MINERALS.
We believe that beiore tbe end of
the next decade, there will occur in
Cherokee county. South Carolina,
such a change, that if those of us who
are now here should be transported
to some other part of the country
and then return, we would not recog
nize the places which were once so
familiar to us. Cherokee county is
the repository of such vast quantities
of mineral wealth, that once the de
velopments along this line commence
in earnest, it will tax the resources
of tbe county to provide sustenance
for the large number of people who
will be necessary U> carry ou
development. The exploiting of the
power Plants within the borders of
our county is the beginning of this
important work-the entering wedges
as it were. There are now being de
veloped within a few miles of Gaffney
power Plants which will aggregate
some 35.000 horse power, and anot i
plant which is contempiated wUlswel
the total to something like 50,000
horse power, and those plants are all
situated in the very heart of the
mineral belt, where they can. with
out diffilculty, obtain cheap power in
unlimited quantities for this great
work.
The R°ss tin mine is no myth, as
the outeide world would try to make
it app&f The fact that Capt. Ross
has already disposed of aoout sixty
tons of high grade tin ore at fancy
prices, with another shipment almost
ready, and the fact that he is now
engaged in installing new and ex
pensive machinery in his mine, is con
clusive of this fact. Within a short
distance of our county seat, only the
other day. a rich vein of lead ore
■was said to have been dlcover-
ed, and within less than six miles
of Gaffney, there has been dis
covered a rich deposit of magnanese;
■while only a short distance from the
tnagenese deposit, preparations are
being made to work a gold mine which
promises a rich yield. The Cherokee
Iron Works were situated within less
than five miles from where the city
of Gaffney now stands, and were for
a number of years operated at a fine
profit for Its owner. Monazite is
found in almost every stream in our
county, and can be mined at a good
profit. Untold wealth is lying under
our feet within easy distance of the
surface, and is only waiting for some
one to take it out, and we are Just
beginning to realize that fact. Some
day—and It is not far distant—the
people of Cherokee county will
awaken from their Rip Van Winkle
sleep, to the realization of the fact
that they possess fabulous wealth,
which may be had for the asking, and
then they will wonder why they lived
so long in ignorance of the fact that
they were the most favored people
in the United States of America, be
cause in addition to the facts already
stated, we live in the healthiest sec
tion—that of the Piedmont—in the
very heart of which we live, perfect
climate, good pure water, a magnifi
cent farming section in which any
thing except the tropical products
may be grown, and it can be readily
seen that the potentialities of Chero
kee county are truly wonderful.

per, which is read throughout the

We are having a good prayer-meet
ing at this place which is conducted
by Mr. W. F. Hustey.

ing the “soap gourds” at this place.

Jones* Shows.
Jones' shows were here on Tues
day and gave two very creditable per
formances. The acrobatic work was
considerably above the average and
was much better than was to be ex
pected from an aggregation of this
kind traveling through the country-
The work of the clowns was fairly
good, and the performing elephants,
the trick roay and mule were also
features well worthy of mention.
Taken all together the show was well
worth the price of admission.

Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario,

“I had not been well for about four
years: / had kidney trouble, and, in
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
“This summer I got so very bad I
thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote
to you and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
“I took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now I feel
better than I have for some time.
•*I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured
me and made a different woman of m'*

“Brother, yon look as if something dieadful had happened?’
Yes, 'Mr John Doe died last night leaving his wife and three httle
children horfleless and penniless in the world ’ Sad, sad indeed!
How easily he could have carried a couple of thousand dollars of The
Southern Life and Trust Co’s. Economic Bonds. That insurance is not
costly, yet. it is among the safest and he>t in the world. My advice to
any man who has or has not a family is to go to the Gaffney Trust Co’s,
office in the National Bank building and examine these policies.
‘The company handles Twenty*four different forma of policies,
\
any of which gives the finest values on the market. Think of John Doe
and don't wait. Take your policy before sunset today. You may fail
to pass your medical examination if you wait another dav.
‘Go straight to the Gaffney Trust Co. and see for yourself—seeing is
believing—experiencing is knowing—you can sleep satisfied if your
family is protected—PROTECT THEM NOW BY INSURING IN THE
SOUTHERN LIFE AND TRUST COMPANY.’ ”

othe r organs.

Mrs. Henry Anderson, the Salisbury
woman assaulted by her husband on
the street three weeks ago, is im
proving. She is in a cottage occupied
by colored people and living upon
their charity. She was carried into
that p’ace when she received the stab
and does not have friends to look af
ter her. Her husband is still in Jail
and unable to help her while her rel
atives have deserted her. She does
not forgive her husband who se^ms
to have been crazed by morphine, and
vows she will repent but not forgive.
Dropped Dead Fro m Excitement.
Excited at the sight of a telegram
being delivered to her by one of the
local messenger boys, a r#gro woman
named Banks dropped dead at her
home on Linden street in Winston-
Salem Wednesday afternoon at 1
o'clock. It was at first thougnt mat
the woman had only fainted and a
physician was hurriedly summoned.
Dr. Hull, colored, was called in and
made an examination. The woman
was dead when he arrived. He pro
nounced her death due to heart
trouble, which was doubtless nroduc-
jed by the sight of the telegram. The
woman had been ill for several days
and it is thought that this was the
cause of the compleie collapse at tbe
sight of/the telegram. The messen
ger boy was terribly frightened when
the woman fell to the floor and rush
ed out after a physician.
