PoKER.-Since the passage ofthe new
gambling law, many different means have
been resorted to. by which to evade the
penalty attached to the act. The most
interesting dodge Ito us), was practised
last Tuesday. Two of the most respect
able gentlemen in town, Mr.. J. II. Mil
ligan and Mr.. r. C. Patton) played game
of "Freeze out" in our office. They star
ted 10 by "bucking" at the water buckes.
Robert having the "lead' played his
'hand" and was "called" by John, who
went "chunk" better, and lost it with
the remark that "Bob was hefty'. Both
gentlemen assert, that although they have
played heavy for some time past, there is
no material decrease in their stock, and
that if Ice will answer the purpose, they
will keep the Columbians in existence one
more season.

IS Momus,, Replieth to !" Columbia,
COLUMBIA, Nav 2Sth, 81


Mr.. EDITOR old respecta6ility has
at last fancied himself Gabriel. The de-
fender of migratory females has said some
thing, and no doubt has been paid to dog
matize "Momus."
He Getteth Indignant.
What was said concerning the gay ac-
tress, was true to the letter. We paid
to hear and see, and formed an opinion
How the gentleman in question managed
to get his courage to the sticking point. y
was at first something of a mystery but
after inquiring, we ascertained he borroao-
ed quill, taken from the back of de-
ceased porcupine.-sharpened it with
the two-edged sword that hung in the
garden of Eden," and after much persua-
sion got a teaspoon full of " Boxers BIT
ters' from P. G. F. on time; and being
thus armed indited that scqtAing article.
He Insinuateth.
We forgive him as he knows not what
he says. columbia" can't solve the
mystery, why the "Golden Era" per-
mits such men as Momus" to appear in
their columns. The reason is, they be-
lieve in the freedom Of the Press, the free
dom of Speech, and respect talent. If
hoarders choose to leave the table before
finishing their regular meals" let sem
went" What is it to us! Perhaps the
poor girl was not hungry.
So far as (5)aa0e-ing the world is con-
cerned, "Momus" intends doing SO when
he wants to. Being shert of orc, we
managed to have some brass set in our
face, which we find is worth more than
gold.
He Groweth Belligerent.
AS our life has been threatened sundry
times during the spring, we concluded
to carry no brains; so there will be no
danger of demising suddenly, by having
them knocked out. Whenever "Colum-
bia," the cute writer, is blessed with the
semblance ofpurity, "we'll migrate; as
hypocritical atmosphere don't suit US
We aint bit scared, but will always be
found floating around as usual.

If" Columbia" has any more spleen to
eject from his billions stomach, let's hear
it; if not, hold your peace forever. We

Mining Items.

Two weeks since we gave briet
sketch of all the claims at the head of the
Main Gulch and above the Sonora road.
This week we commence at the road and
notice few below, towards Springfield.
Our space forbids an extended article and
we merely state that all the claims on the
gulch are doing well.
Buckeye Czains-There are FIVE share
holders in this claim. The company use
two windlasses, and are at present wash
ing old "tailings." The proceeds aver
age Sc day to the hand.
Saag Uaim.-Four shares. Use a
windlass; at present the claim pays S4 a
day to the man, but is expected to do
much better.
Vincent 8. Co.-This is carting claim,
one horse and cart is used. The dirt is
hauled but short distance; the receipts
average s. day to the share. There
are four shares.
Bailey .. Cos Claim.-This is one of
the oldest claims on the gulch and has
been worked steadily by the same parties
for years. There are eight shareholders !;
two horses and carts are used. For the
past three weeks it has paid $40 day to
the hand. The average receipts during
the whole of the last season were over
fifty dollars per week.
T0man's Czaim.-About three weeks
since, Mr.. Toman commenced working
on his lot near the place where his house
stands. He has employed one man, and
the claim has yielded over fifty dollars a
week clear of all expenses. The lot is
situated on the.hillside east Of the gulch.
1t has the appearance of being very ex-
tensive.
Next week we will give notice of
some of the claims on Gold Hill. We
understand the miners in that section are
making their piles.

FOURTH OF JULY.-The different COM
mittees are very busily engaged in max
ing the necessary preparations for large
procession, fireworks, collation., ora
tions &C., &C., on the 9th" in this town.
Many societies have accepted the invita-
ton to be present, and the military and
fire companies of this place are being re-
organized preparatory to a grand parade
on the occasion. Money has been liber-
ally subscribed by oul citizens, and no
thing will be wanted to make the pro-
ceedings superior to any heretofore had
in the county. We hope the miners viii
meet and appoint committee to confer
with the General Committee, so that
they may have place assigned them as
an organization. Every person should
feel interested in this matter and render
all the assistance possible to those who
are leading off SO actively. To those in
the adjoining towns we say, come and
visit us on the "4th," and we will do our
best to make you happy.

New Ditch.

On Wednesday last, word was brought
to town that the tunnel on the c.. & S. r.
w. Co.'s ditch was through. AS might
be expected much rejoicing was the con-
sequence. When the magnitude of this
work is considered. it can easily be sup
posel that many men who have risked
all their capital in the enterprise, breath
ed much freer and mutual congratula-
tions was the order of the day. A slight
description of the work may not be un-
interesting.
The company finding after completing
their ditch to the south fork of the Stan
islaus rivera distance of 80 miles-that
there was net a suficiency of water, de-
cided to continue the work 90 miles fur
ther, to the main fork of the river. To
90 this, it was necessary to tunnel through
mountain 5000 feet The work of tun-
neling was commenced on the 18th of
June, last year, and was considered to
be the heaviest part of the whole enter
prise. Many doubted the execution of
it, and others shook their heads and ar
gued that it would take from two to
three years to finish it. The most san
guine friends of the company have how
ever been agreeably disappointed, and
the tunnel is fixed fact The dimen-
sions are, tunnel proper $500 #. long, 6
#. high, and 7 #. wide 1t is to be fum-
ed the entire length. The ditching above
the tunnel is nearly completed, and sew
Ell miles ftrussel work is up, and ready
for the planking. The fuming is all
contracted for, and the parties are already
engaged in carrying forward their con-
tracts. The fume is to be feet wide
and 4 high, capable of carrying an i'm
mense body of water. The company
have three saw-mills in operation on the
upper line, and more machinery has late:
ly been sent to Donnel & Parsons mill
to increase the facilities for saving. The
officers Of the company are confident that
the work will be completed and the wa
ter running on the goth of September
About the 1st of August the south fork
of the river will be dry; consequently
the company will be without water for
nearly two months, but after that they
will have continued stream for years.
The advantages of this ditch to the south
ern mines is incalculable. Our popula-
ton will become more stable, and much
more mining will be done than formerly.
We understand that the stock has ad-
vanced % per cent. within a few days
and is still rising.
AS our space is limited, we leave the
subject to take it up again at a future pc
riod.

judge O'Neau.

This venerable Magistrate and noble hearted
public servant and true patriot has been nominated
for the United States Senate. For the Legisla-
ture to elect him, would be nothing more than
paying merited honor to talents virtue and pub
lie services of the highest order 1t would be, as
it WAS in the case Of Judge Huger, saying to him,
"well done, thou good and faithful servant
Judge O'Nesll has great legislative and parliament
tary experience, high qualities in debate, and
would assume high position in the Senate Of the
United States He would be In mind and heart
and character, as well as in experience and ap-
pearance, noble specimen of South Carolina
Senator, veperable in years, wise in council, pure
in purpose, able in discussion, and firm and un-
wavering in his determination. His measures
would oil be for his countrys good, his State first
and next the Republic. No ambitious or selfish
purposes could swerve him from the line II duty.
Should Judge 0'Neall be the nominee Of the
Democratic party, or should Col. Orr prefer the
Speakers chair, and Col. Pickens reconsider and
accept the mission to Russia We would support
him with all our heart and with what little In
Auence we may chance to have in the Legislature.
We do not know that Judge O'Neall would con-
sent to give up his position on the Bench as Pre-
sideut Of the Court Of Appeals in Law and Presi-
dent Of the Court of Errors, and forego his do
mestic and private relations in lfe for the United
States Senate But he is patriot Of the highest
and broadest stamp, and we presume would yield
to the wishes and command Of his State.

CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENTS.

CHARLESTON, August lO, 1901.
When 1 wrote you last was preparing to leave
terra frma, and commit myself, for time, to the
treacherous waves of the mighty deep, and I
made you promise to furnish sketch of where
I went and what saw. At the appointed hour
Is o'clock) found myself in the midst of some
what excited and hurrying crowd at the foot Of
Union wharf, with bag and baggage, armed and
equipped, as custom and fashion, in such cases
require. 1t is unnecessary to tell what had in
my carpet bag, suffice it to say that the articles it
contained, though neither numerous or valuable,
were sufficient for my purpose.
At the sound of the last bell, stepped aboard
of the beautiful and fast sailing steamer Osiris
that runs between this city and the free and indie
pendent province of Suliivan's Island l was
considerably jostled by the general rush of hu-
manity, that ebbed and flowed like the waves OF
troubled sea, upon the surface Of which foated
baskets and bandboxes, hoops and hardware,
capes and crnoline, babes and bonnets, with all
the etceteras of regular ladies travelling outfit,
WHICH you knom, ~ you aTe h"iiiSo '1""' Va
have sister, comprises not small amount OF
sixins' exclusive of dry goods.
At length we all got slowed away, above and
below, and about the stem and stern, and the
moving mass became comparatively still, and all
breathed freely once more. Some looked pale,
and trembled, as they mused in melancholy mood,
upon the dangers Of the sea- and of the glorious
uncertainty of the lives of those who 60 down to
the seq in ships, like Jonah of old, and then they
thought of the blue eyes and bland smiles of their
lovers, and laughed and affected happiness which
they did not realize. /, who had seen some sea
service, and been among the marines on other
and more trying occasions, was more calm and
collected, and having no fairone under my charge,
and little else to think about, I divided my time
in musing on BYRoN's beautiful apostrophe to the
SEQ, "the deep blue sea-" and MIXERS buckwheat
cakes and hot wofdes, which I felt sure of sharing,
if our voyage should not be delayed or prove dis.
astrous.
Our noble craft, with Capt. MANSFIELD at the
helm, backed out from the wharf and plowed the
yielding wave, throwing the salt spray from her
bow, and presses her foamy track beneath the
precious cargo of fair and happy humanity thai
crowded every foot Of available space upon the
broad deck and spacious cabin. The houses
spires and steepes of the populous city fade from
our view in tho distance or remain dinly mirror

CHINESE SUGAR CANE.-Richard H. Smith, ESQ.,
Scotland Neck, N. c., writes to the Raleigh Regis
ter that be has made on experiment with the Chi
nese Sugar Cane, with the following results:
From three unripe joints of the cane, about one
gill of juice was imperfectly extracted, and after
having been boiled for half an hour, table spoon
full of very good molasses were obtained-superior
to the common grades of molasses.
write this to encourage those persons who
have planted the cane, to 60 to work and make
their mills, and give it a fair frial.
If they have not cane enough to justify the e1-
pense of mill with wooden rollers. let them ex-
tract the juice as have done in this instance, by
using the edge of piece of thick plank, or scant
ling as lever-power. Make the experiment, if
with pint Of juice only.
From the great yield of juice and the simple
process required in making the molasses, have
no doubt of its complete success and that the day
is not distant when the sugarmill will be as com.
mon with our people as the cidermill was years
ago-when every family will make their own mo.
lasses-aud the children-white and black-will
eat bread and molasses, and drink "switchel" to
their hearts content.
