North Carolina Diamond Discoveries.

Western Carolina. has amused himself COL
Letting precious stones. cabinet OF which
he has sent to be exhibited at the Atlanta
Exposition. This and MIR. Smiths cabinet
of stones are sufficient to cause mining
rage that may surpasS the California mad
ness Of thirty years ago. There are rubies,
sapphres, perfectly cOlorcd amcthysts, yell
low and rose garnctS, beryis, and the
already famous hiddeniteS. These stones
are found in Jackson and Yancey coun-
ties, except the hiddenite, which has
been found only in Alexander county.
1t is said that Mr.. Stephenson years
ago discovered this stone, but did not
know its value. MIR. Hidden played the old
game Of Americas Nespucius. The hiddenlte
is an emerald, and has become famous
mainly rs a curiosity. \ few have been
sold for as much rs 500 a karat. The yield
of precious stones in North Carolina has
thus far been mainly q sensation, but lcpl-
dists have placed high values on some thai
have been found. What may come Of 1t,
of course, remains to be- seen. Mr.. Smith
has at the Exposition box OF dust that he
claims contains miniature diamonds, and
he is confident that diamonds will yet be
found. most likely in Alexander county.
This entirely uncXplored region Is only
one OF a dozen or more sections 81 the
South that await development, and the
mineral resources are only one line OF de-
yelopment. There are fortunes in the for
ests and in the soil as well as under the
earth.

An amusing little incident took place
yesterday afternoon in the parlor OF the
Levy Court Just after that body had
adjourned. While the members OF the
court were seated around the table
ENJOYING s social chat, Mr.. Samuel Sill
yer was called out into the Levy Court
room by a colored constituent. A
gentleman who had just dropped In
and who at times is little fond Of fun,
looked out and saw Mr.. Silver give the
constituent some money.
On returning Mr.. S. informed the
visitor who had dropped in hat he was
wanted BY the solored man.
Going out the following conver-
sation ensued between him and the col
ored man who vas in Q rather delapi-
dated condition and who had q bag with
him which was evidently partially I'LL
ed with bones:
"wel nay old friend what is the
mattef!"
"W-w.well b-b-boss, j-jist etlecten
a f-i-few p.pennies, to b-b-buy l-loaf OF
b bread f-f-for s-self and cole o-oman."
Giving him few pennies, the gen
tleman said. "Here my friend, follow
me and l will take you back in the pSr-
lor where there are lots..of meuey."
The colored mendicant left his bag Of
bones and followed meekly scratching
his old pate with his forefnger.
Reaching the parlor his guide intro
duced him as follows "Gentlemen
here GENES 8 constituent Of New Castle
County, . sovereign of the people, a
voter who by his votes make
and unmakes rulers. He is poor and
destitute and wants money to buy
bread Gentlemen assist him."
Instantly every hand went down in
to the bottom Of deep pockets, and out
came dimes, quarters and nickels until
the soyereign's eyes fairly. danced with
Joy. As he looked smiling at the pile
Of silver shining in his hard black
hand his guide said:
"Now my friend don't fotget that
these gentlemen who have been SO
kind to you are nearly sll Democrats"
"W-W-Whst s-dat you say b.

We feel that the day has
come when it should no Ion
ger be necessary for a house
to have at the head Of its
advertisement the words
"one price as we cannot
conceive how any house can
charge one customer one
price and another customer
a higher price, and reconcile
themselves that they are
doing business based upon
the law Of equity, because
in many cases the person
who pays the highest price
is less able to do so. Our
reason 1or mentioning the
above fact is that Whining
ton is rapidly growing at
this time, and strangers com
ing to our city are naturally
desirouS of knowing where
to go to buy their Carpets
and Dry Goods at the lowest
market rates, and should be
equally as anxious to avoid
deception Of any kind.

tency of such statements.

more than any other make;

such quotations as these are

they have black stripes run.

back of the Carpet. Again
another house has been ask
ing $I.1o for Extra Super
lngrains, but when told that
we we're selling them for
$I.oo (as they have fire.
quently been) they would
reply by saying that ours
were not as good, but prove
to their customers that we
