Jail Delivery

just before 7 o'clock, last Wednesday
night, quite stir was kicked up, by an
alarm, that the prisoners confined in the
Jail, had broken out, and were at large.
1t seems that they had sawed the iron
bars that protected the opening in the
wall, for ventilation, which is some eight
feet above the floor Of the cell, and re.
moving them, crawlcd through, ono after
ano other, until four were out. They i'm
proved the opportunity, when the Jail
keeper, Gorlon Stamps, had gone for
their supper, to make their exit, which
to them, however was an Improbable
one, for quite number Of citizens were
passing all ways at the time. Charley
Miller and jim. Scott were the first to
discover them, and give the alarm. al.
though the prisoners had scattered, they
were all captured, in less than halt
hour from the time they made their es
cape.
Our everready and energetic friend
Tom. Niece, who happened to be near
when the alarm was given, took in the
two Bens-Taylor and McCullough--two
of the worst ones-near the river.
Agnew, the woman killer, was the last
captured, near Lickskillet. After they
were all back, and saw the Jig was up
they handed out the saw and file, with
which they had done the work, and claim

THE HAYES POLICY IN SOUTH CARO-
LIMA

A dispatch dated New York Sept 3 informs
US as follows
Last November Kershaw county, S. c.,
gave Chamberlain 306 majority and Hayes 3l9.
At the same election last month the Demo
cratic candidates for court commissioners were
chosen by 500 majority. The Charleston
nominees, but they had no showing, the Dem
ocrats sweeping everything before them. All
is quiet and orderly Kershaw is hereafter
all right
Home rule at the South means the suppress
sion of all possible show of Republican
strength. Hayes's policy contemplates the
utter death of the Republican organization as
a political force at the South. Repentent
rebelism is the art of making the best possible
terms with the Federal government ct
is never spoken of as the National govern
mentl The Southern States left to them
selves means their being left to the sole do
minion of the adherents of the Confederacy.
Republicanism is an insult to the memory Of
the Lost Cause. Amy political agitation
which dates itself back to "coertion" is wan
ton revival of "Federa" tyranny in it's worst
form. So We have by Mr.. Hayes's ardent
abetting, solid South. By the help of his
emissaries the Republican organization in
Mississippi passed resolution of confidence
in his administration and then put itself to
death Wade Hampton. the Presidents ally
in South Carolina, is packing the Grand Ju-
ries there with rebels and making every prom
inent Republican a felon Heenceforth Re-
publicanism is to be crime in the State
whose principal seaport was the scene of the
first cannon firing upon the National Flag.
And yet there are certain public prints, among
them Harper's Weekly, which urge the opin-
ion that it is party treason not to support the
administration of Mr. Hayes. All this time
the only distinctive features of the Presidents
policy are his unvarying efforts to transfer the
Republican party to the Dolly Vardens and
put Sights upon the heretofore trusted lead
ers. He stands so squarely in Democratic
shoes as to make his own election an imperti
nence. If he is right the American people
committed political crime in not electing
Horace Greeley in 1872. If Hayes's policy
is TO be commended, then is every Southern
Republican an intruder and deserving of po-
htical outlawry.

SELECTED CHLORIDES.

The Eureka Sentinel of Saturday has an
account of the manner of obtaining and work
ing selected chlorides from which we extract
as follows:
The six carloads of ore received at the
Lennon mill and shipped from Mineral Hill
includes some very rich rock, and ii it existed
in large quantities would make that locality
famous. The selected chlorides assay from
| $500 to $4,000 per ton, and represents the
summers work of the owners. They have
made very favorable terms with the proprie-
| tors of the mill, those gentlemen guaranteeing
a return of 80 per cent on the assay value.
The battery was started up yesterday evening
and it will be put through at the rate of ten
tons per day. A portion of the ore was ex-
tracted from leased ground belonging to the
English Company, and they receive as q COM
pensation one-fourth of the net proceeds
The formation at Mineral Hill is hard doio-
matte limestone, permeated throughout by
numberless small crevices and caves, and in
these latter the ore has been deposited. When
found it invariably runs up into the hundreds
and sometimes thousands of dollars per ton,
and richly rewards the miner for his expendi-
ture of time and labor. The work is carried
on by small companies, generally by two men,
who follow up stain or trace in the hard
mentioned above. Sometimes months of
hard labor ensue before the miner finds his
bonanza but the smallest of them rarely fail
to recompense him for his work. ton of chic |
ride, assaylng 81, 500 or $1,000, is a very
pretty pile, and compensates him for his
weary toll. There is glorious uncertainty
attending this particular kind of mining that |
fascinates those engaged in it, and spoils them
for the dull, prosy day labor that obtains ir
more extended operations. Those following
it are of the best of their class, energetic,
hopeful and skillful workman, whose ambition
scars above the 81 per diem that they could
readily earn if they were willing to work for
operations. 1t is pleasant to record that
those who have devoted their time and labor
to that field in the locality spoken of, have
been literally rewarded for their enterprise,
the average returns far exceeding ordinary
wages, and in many instances amounting to
snug fortunes.
