The Knot Gold Nine.

Mr.. EDITon You recolect when I Was at
your place spoke to you something about she
old Knot Gold Mine in your county / have
since then seen parties who were well acquain-
ted with the mine, from its origin up to the
present time. The mine i, about 1S miles from
Union c. H., and about miles from Glenn
Springs. In colonial days it wa, part of the
old Arthur Park grant, afterwards owned by
Judge Abraham Knott, then DIR. Adolphus
Knott, then think, Knott, McCartha & Com
pany, then, DR.. NJ. a. Moore, then Montgomery,
Norris, Knott, & Co. The exact organization Of
the different companies do not exactly know,
but, If necessary, all the information can be OBJ
taned from MIR. Edward Carol, WHO livcs about
two miles from the mine, or of Col. J: Z: Gichh,
who was raised and now lives in the iieighbor-
hood. An Engishmnn by the name of BEndell
leased the mine from some Of the above pattics
sometime between 1890 and 81. lie paid t
lease of onc-tenth of the proceeds. During tho
time Blondcll had the mine leased he found n
pocket 90 feet from the surface, from which he got
one hundred thousand dollars-as he paid tho
parties owning it ten thousand dclars 1t was
afterwards leased, for the remainder of his time,
hy some Of the same parties who had leased tv
him. Some time between 1887 and '43 tho
property went into the possession Of Judge
Means, Capt. Thos. l.yles, of Fairfield, N. A.
Peay, DR.. Woodward, and perhaps others
during which time Mr.. Edward Carol worked
two years us q hand and three years as Superin-
tendant Of the mine. lie has now in his posses-
sion all the books, day and data, of the working
of the mine during the last three years It was
worked. Mr.. Carol commenced as Superinten-
dant March 10, 1915, and tho property was
bought by \. \. Pcay, better known rs Col
Nick Peay, for which he paid forty thousand
dollars.
December 2l, 1910 was tho time Mr. Carol
quit the supervision of tn, mine. Since then it.
has not been worked 10y any one rcay di, d
and left his will so that his property should be
managed by his Executors until the youngest
child came of age-who was then very young.
At the sale the property was bought by Judge J.
NJ. Rutland, and by him left by will to the pres
ent owners.
The following are a few statements, taken
from Mr. Carols books, of days and weeks
work whilo he was superintendent Of Tho mIns.

Bad Behavior in Church.

We were greatly surprised, while coming 10

two or three respectable and stal gentlemen
make Scrious complaints against the behavior of
some young men during divine service in the
Baptist church Tie night before. We Had felt
proud i'll tho belief that every young man III
Union had too much respect for religiom, too

respect for parents and friends, and certainly
too much respect for themselves, to Commit an

| Surely those young men cannot ;hink that such
conduct inevitably rccoils with ten fold force ~
on their own heads. Is it too much To suppose
that If young men nave no respect for such II
sacred spot and at such n sacred time, that .hey
Will have no respect for home, parents or re-
spectacle society? Such we can assure them is
the suppoSiion, and young man loses caste in
