SOUTHERN Distribution. In conse-
quence of the failure of crops, a belt Of
the Southern country, extending from
North Carolina to Texas, and embracing
the northern and central portions Of
those States, and also Of South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, is threatened with famine
before the maturity of next years crops.
The civil authorities Of those States,
aided in some cases by the United States
military forces, are taking what meas-
ures they can to provide a supply of
food, but it seem probable that these
precautions will be inadequate to meet
the wants of the people of the extended
section of country threatened with des-
titution.

SOUTHERN LoyALTY.-MrA A, Bradshaw

SOUTHERN LoYALTY.-Mr A. Bradshaw
was a candidate for Congress from the
lid District of Texas at her late election.
We do not know how he Jared; but this
is the way he tried to gain votes:
Promising that he was a Rebel and is
now a Jealous Johnsonite, who cannot
of course take the oath prescribed by
law, he says:
~ regard the laws passed by Con-
gross at the last session, commonly
called the Freedmen's Bureau Bill and
Civil Rights Bill, rs unconstitutional,
onerous and oppressive, and at war with
the spirit and genius of the Government,
and if l am elected, no effort on my part
shall be spared to repeal them.
al had the honor to be a member Of
the late State Convention, and upon the
development Of Radical feeling in that
body, | took determined ground against
it. The Radical element sought to
strike the word Uhite out of the ordi-
nance regulating the school fund, thus
placing the benefits of that fund within
the reach of negro children, l opposed
that proposition. This fund had been
provided years ago for the education Of
the white children of the State and they
have a vested interest in it. Thousands
of children orphaned by the war had to
be educated at the public expense, and
to have divided this fund with the ne
gro population would have seriously
embarrassed the State in its laudable
efforts to place the benefits Of a common
school system within the reach of those
who are wards of the State and whose
fathers lie dead upon the field ofhonor."

The FIRST GOLD MINE.-The first
piece of gold found in the United States
is said to have been found in Cabarrus
county, North Carolina, in 1893. 1t
seems from the account furnished Mr..
Wheeler by Colonel B%urnhandt, that a
boy named Conrad Reed went with his
sister and younger brother to q small
stream called Meadow Creek on a Sum-
day, and while engaged along the banks
of the stream shooting fish, he saw a
yellow substance shining in the water,
which he picked up and found to be
metal. His father carried it to Conrad
and showed it to William Atkinson, the
silversmith of the village, who was I'M
able to tell what it was. It was taken
home by Mr.. Reed, and being the size
of a small smoothing iron, it was used
as a weight against the door to keep it
from shutting. 1881
In 1902 he carried it to market at
Fayetteville, where q jeweler p%ronounc-
ed it to be gold, and melted it, produc-
ing q bar six or eight inches long. 1t
was sold to the jeweler for So so, a
"big price" as Mr.. Reed thought. Upon
subsequent examination gold was found
upon the surface along Meadow Creek,
and in 1903 a piece of gold was found
in the stream that weighed % pounds.
Several other pieces were found, vary
ing from l6 pounds to the smallest par
ticles. The vein of this mine was dis
covered in 1881. The annual products
of the gold mines of North Corolina are
stated at $500, 900. The product of the
Cabarrus mine in 1910, is estimated at
$4,000.

A nomeatio afory.

About fifteen years ago, a saddler,
whom we will call Smith, lived with his
family in the First Ward of this city
BY thrift and industry he had succeeded
in laying by some money-suficient to
buy a home in the West. Accordingly
the husband father took his money in
good solid cash and set out for Ohio,
leaving his wife and children behind to
wait till he made his selection and sent
for them to come to him.
The family waited for tidings, but
none came. They wrote repeatedly and
made many inquiries, but no trace ofthe
missing man could be obtained. At last
they gave up all hope of ever hearing OF
him again, and counted him dead,
There could be no doubt that the unfor.
tunate traveller had been murdered fol-
the money he carried with him. Suspi.
cion ever fixed upon a resident of the
city who had been in the same section
of country with the supposed deceased,
Meantime the family were poor, and had
to live as they could. The wife Of the
absentee-the bereaved widow-opened
a boarding house, and so earned an
honest livelihood for herself and family.
Two of the daughters married, and one
of them, Ruth, was left a widow, and
returned to live with her mother.
Recently a young mar from Baltimore
came to board with Mrs. Smith. He
was a saddler, and had found employ
ment in the city. A few days ago, at
the table, he inquired of Mrs. Smith il
she had any relatives in Baltimore. She
had none. He had learned his trade,
he said, with a Robert Smith in that
city; who was a saddler, and had come
to Baltimore, twelve or fourteen years
ago. He proceeded to describe his for
mer "boss," and he described the sup
posed dead man. The accuracy of the
description, the similarity of the name
and occupation raised great speculation.
At last the widowed daughter, Ruth,
obtained the address of the Baltimore
saddler and started to visit him, and at
once recognized him as the father who
had disappeared so many years ago.
He was laken aback, and in his confu-
sion received his daughter as his daugh-
ter should be received, acknowledging
his relationship and confessing his great
fault in leaving those belonging to him
to struggle through so many years I'M
aided by him.
He had lost all his money in Ohio,
and was then ashamed to come home.
He earned more, but he had then been
absent so long that he determined to
return no more. He kept his resolu-
ton, and keeps it yet. He sent home
presents and affectionste messages to
one and all, but would not return to
them.-Pits6urg Gazette.

PATRIOTISM,

How often have we in the past heard
the Southern States, and especially Vir-
ginia, vauntingly claim to have done so
much in establishing our government
during the Revolution, and thereon base
their assumed right to control it? How
often DOVE now hear that the ten rebel
States which are deprived of represen-
tation in that government, by reason of
their t~raitorous attempt to destroy it,
won the right to share equally with
those represented, in the government Of
the nation they helped to establish by
their patriotic services and great sacri-
fees, during the Revolutionary war?
One would think, to hear them talk
sometimes, that they made our Govern
ment almost alone, and therefore have q
paramount right to control it. They
claimed the right to take up arms to de-
stroy it, and having failed in that, they
now claim that they have lost none Of
their rights under the Constitution they
helped to make, by an unsuccessful at
tempt to destroy it. They now insist
that they are, by Constitutional right
and without conditions precedent, en-
titled to reclaim and enjoy their former
position in the Union, as though no
| civil wal had ever taken place and caus-
| ed so much of the best blood of the LIANT
to be spilled upon their accursed soil.
If by their feeble aid to the Northern
colonies in the Revolution, they won
such extraordinary rights, what will
they not in future, with equal Justice,
claim in return for their great sacrifices
during the late civil war, which has re-
suited in cementing the Union closer
still and Strengthening its Government ?
These reflections were suggested by
referring to statistics which we give be-
low, showing the number of soldiers
| furnished during the Revolutionary war,
by each of the thirteen Colonies. 1t is
instructive and also amusing when con-
trasted with the inordinate ~pretensions
of the chivalry. The population Of the
Union in 1890, when the first census was
taken, was 1881 CIT. And this number
was about equally divided between the
Northern and Southern States, as fol-
lows:
Northern States,..............l,970,25
Southern Ststes,..............l,96l,372

Republican Caucus at Washington.
New YORK, December 1.-The Times
Washington special dispatch says that
Of the caucus of the Republican mem
bers, Of the House, J. S. Morrell, of
Vermont, was chosen Chairman, and
E. c. Ingersoll, of I~lliuois, Secretary.
About seventy-three members were
present.
Thaddeus Stevens offered a resolution
that the Senate be requested not to
confirm any appointments made dur
ing the recess to fill vacancies
caused by removal for politi-
cal reasons. He made a sharp
speech, which was followed by vigorous
remarks from Boutwell,, of Massachu-
sets, Judge Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
and Darling, of New York. The scope
of the speeches was a general overhaul
ing of the character of the appointments
that had been made during the recess;
and the resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Mr.. Darling, of New York, offered a
resolution that the Republican men,
bers of the Senate be each served with
an authentic copy of the foregoing reso-
luton, and that the Chairman have dis
cretion to decide who were Republican
members. This was adopted.
Thad. Stevens ~jocularly remarked
that notice need not be sent to Senator
Cowsn, as he ~(Stevens) would speak to
him.
Mr.. Stevens gave notice of an inten-
ton to introduce a Bill to regulate the
terms of office. Its chief features are
as follows: It requires the President to
submit to the Senate all appointments
made during the recess, within twenty
uhlS allSE luC SOuNChluS VI tuu1
body. All appolnteees Who may
be rejected by the Senate shall be
ineligible for any Office under the Gov
eminent for three years thereafter.
Whenever it becomes necessary for the
President to make IA removal for NAL
f~easance in Office he shall report his rea-
sons for such removals within twenty
days after the meeting Of the Senate.
In case Of the rejection of any person
appointed by the President, the office
shall revert to his predecessor-except
in certain cases; and all subordinate APP
pointments made by persons so elected
shall fall with his rejection, and their
positions likewise revert to their prede.
cessors.
The committee will meet on Tuesday
evening of next week, aod report at an
adjourned meeting Of the caucus ON the
Wednesday following.
The general spirit manifested in the
speeches made in the Convention was
what might be called decidedly game
and very unanimous.

by my prostratc condition, brought about
by the fever. At this stage of my condi-
