SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE NEEDED.

James Ross Snowden, an official OF
the Mint at Philadelphia, having been
specially deputed to investigate the
condition OF the mines in North Caro-
lima, with respect to their probable
capacity to supply bullion for coinage
purposes, in the event the Mint at Char
lotte was put into operation again, re.
ports personal examination of the
King Mountain and other mines in that
State. According to Mr.. Snowden, the
mines of North Carolina have hitherto
produced between $12 900, 900 and $780,
100000. "At all events" says Mr..
Snowden, "the statistics show that large
amounts of gold have been produced
from these mines, under the imperfect
system then in use, for the exploitation
and reduction of these ores. II is now
we'll known that the mode Of reduction
Of these ores do not usually produce
more than 25 or 80 per cent. OF the gold
they contain. The tailings from the
stack below the stamp mill at Kings
Mountain, CASTOR county, on an accur-
ate assay, showed gold value per ton
of S41.9l, and of silver contained there
in OF the value OF S1.44; total per ton,
1895. Assays Of some other tailings
show a value per ton of $780," And
even the sleepy old fogy citizens of the
States of Virginia and South Carolina
have Mt last opened their eyes, as strange
as it may appear, and are looking to the
interests of thet once noted gold pro-
ducing lands and have sent agents to
New York to negotiate with Northern
capitalists for the working of the same.
With the cheap labor in that section of
the country, with all articles used in
mining correspondingly low, there is no
good reason why the gold producing
lands OF the South should not become
greater gold producers than they have
ever heretofore been. for it has been fully
demonstrated that the metal is there,
and the only thing needed to secure the
hidden treasure is for the Inhabitants Of
that section to do little less fishing and
hunting and o little more picking and
shoveling. even though it does make the
"sweat" come.

The investigating committees in LouiSi-
ana have developed the fact that large
part of the COlOrcd voters of that state
are democrats, and more, that they
| thoroughly understand why they are
! democrats. Among many reason, which
| they give in their testimony. tor voting
the democratic ticket, are these: That
| the democrats are their friends; that they
employ and pay them the money which
| supports their families; that the demo-
crats are interested in the good govern
property OF the colored man as well as
! their own. That the republican politi-
! clans in the south are not honest as a
! rule. and that in the failure OF the Freed
mems bank their race was robbed by
republicans OF millions OF dollars. =
| The democrats are the friends Of
the colored people. and would be bet
ter friends if they We're only permitted.
! The charges OF numbering cOlore,i
men in the south are like the as
sertiuns OF intimidation now being used;
they arr political stratagcms. sometimes
practiced by atrociC. means, such rs
causing the outrage- in order to take
advantage of them afterwards. Why
is II. that such = paper rs the New ork
Herald. which has always been friendly
TO the colored people, advises them 10
vote for democratic state officers, even
| if they must vote the national republi-
can ticket? Because the republican par.
ty in the soGth has been an enemy to
both races in that section. The charge
that the democrats have robbed colored
people Of their property is new one.
Go ask colured man in the south who
robbed him, and our word for It his an
swer will not he that it was his old mas
| ter or his sons but some northern carpet
bayger II was always part of the

We're 4 poor, letenselcSs race; and so
they are to-day, especially where they

say to YOU, colorcd voters. that Your in,
terestS are identical with those of the
people among whom YOU live; that the

and the east naturally republican, and
that rs you become better educated you

that majority Of Your people III the
south will be democrats in Il few years
and we think that you will follow then
example. Already several southern
states are democratic only by the hell
