We are pleased TO learn that the pros.
poets Of the Union Gold Mining Com
pany are frightening, and it Is conf.
IDENTITY expected that tangible proof Of
the vaue of the West Mine will soon be
given to the public. In short time, ali
the machinery will be in working order,
when we expect to visit the mine and
make a true and honest report of the
working. Every one III this County
must feel deep interest in the success
of the efforts of the company to develop
our mineral resources, and TOO much
praise cannot be given to those now hav-
ing the management Of it, for their un-
firing perseverance and energy amid all
the obstacles around them, in opening
and developing the West Mine. We
most cordially wish them abundant sue
cess.-Cnon Times.

Herald advises that every citizen go to
work at once and secure the confidence
of the negroes within his r~ach. by as
Suring them of the maintenance OF their
rights, and by explaining the evil conse.

victory. In this way the voting material
will be ready for organization when the
proper time comes.
Any formal political meeting, or Con-
ference, or preparation platform, or re-
newal, in any shape, of party agitation,
would be distastefrl to the people and in
iurious TO the Conservative cause. Next
string and summer will be early enough
for all this excitement and confusion Of

working as the Herald proposes, can in
hacnce enough colorcd voters to secure
