THE REED GOLD MINE.
How the Famous Cabarrnr Mine was
Discovered.
From the NeDton Enter


From the Ne0ton Enterprise
A gentleman informs us that % or
80 years ago an old man by the name
of Reed while plowing in his field turn
ed up a rock covered with shining
particles. He carried it home and his
good lady covered it with carpet and
used it for ten years as weight for
keeping the door open. Some OF the
old mans neighbors examined it one
aav and pronounced it worth some
thing. Shortly after the old man sold
it to Salisbury jeweler for two dol
lars, which he thought an enormous
price. The two dollars he invested in
a dress for the old lady.
Investigation proved the mass OF
mineral to be a nugget of solid gold,
and a search in the field in which it
was ploughed up, resulted in the dis
covery of the Reed mine, Of Crbarrus
county, the richest mine in the South:
ern States, and the old man reaped a
fortune out of it.

From the DaneiYe Register.

On the temperance question some OF
our State journals are taking very
sound views. The St:,unton Vindic-
tor is very near the mark when it says !:
at needs no Biblical quotations to
show that ex cessive drinking is a sin
committed by man against himself,
but if the sin is ever to be put out of
desire and out of reach, it must, like
other sins, be matter for the family.
1t is in the early training that we make
sober men, and in the lack of it drunk
ards. Laws are but fences for appe-
tite to boldly leap over or to secretly
crawl under they do not bar the
way. .--

Reidsville Wants Local Option-In

temperance people in Danville should
the question of local option be SUBJ
mitted indicating very clearly that
the people OF Reidsville see a big ad-
vantage to them in the suppression of
the whisky traffic of Danville. Many
business men here take that view
OF the question, and are disposed
to think that the border coun-
ties must suffer seriously from a local
. option law.

THE PRESIDENTIAL VETOEs.

Congressman would have to be something
more than ordinary flesh and blood not to
be irritated at the perky impudence of the
Presidents vetoes. To men of average self
respect it must be insuherable. 1t is tone
that no President has ever before dared to
assume toward Congress. Other Presidents
have differed sharplywith one OF both Houses,
butthe heat Of the controversy has never made
them forget for moment that the gentlemen
in session at the Capitol were men of equal
intelligence, integrity and patriotism to them
selves and entitled to be so addessed and
treated. Mr.. Cleveland, on the contrary
constantly talks as if he were possessed Of
an acumen, an honesty and a patriotism
inef1ably superior to those Of any and all of
the members Of the legislative branch of the
Government
Before pension bill reaches him it has to
pass the careful scrutiny of the nine Sena-
tors constituting the Senate Pension Com
mittee, and Of majority of the ~ dignifed
Senator'S; of the Is Representatives who
compose the House Committee on Invalid
Pensions, and of majority of the 325
Members of the House Of Representatives.
There is nothing in Blr. Clevelands career
before or since he became President to war
rant the extrayagant assumption that he is
SO vastly superior to all of these gentlemen
as to be able to pierce off-hand, and after q
casual investigation of few minutes cum
ming mass of sophistry and falsehood, which
baffled their most earnest investigation
That he should pretend TO do so is at once
insolent and ridiculous. We believe that 6
consciousness of this is now penetrating hi.
rather sluggish conceptions of the amenities
of life.

RECOLLECTIORS OF GEN. GRANT.
By His Son--COl. +. D. Grant.

We take pleasure in announcing to our
readers the early appearance Of series of
articles from the pen Of Col. Fred Grant,
who writes his recOnectiOns Of the viclls-
burg Campaign. he accompanied bis father
on that memorable campaign through all its
weary marches, desperate battles and the
long siege which eliminated July 4, 1863.

adventures Of boy who was thrown into
the midst or wonderful scenes filed with
untold dangers and novel horrors TO the
mind Of youth just from the quiet circle
of the home Preside.

and significant for mature readers, while 10
the boys his narrative viii prove thrilling
beyond description here. While the story

at his fathers headquarters and on the bat
flcheld and biyouae, il reads like romance

pen Of Peter Farley or Capt Wayne Reade

Nations life. He has advocated the extern
sion of the limitation TO the arrears bill,
pointed out its great injustice, urged the
raising of the ratings for deafness, amputa-
ton of the limbs and other disabilities, the
allowances for which are now grossly in
adequate, and admonished the people Of the
country how illiberally they have treated
the veteran as compared with the bond
holder.
Possibly he has made mistakes. Itwould
be amazing if, in the exercise of such varied
and Undertaking poweras heis clothed with,
he did not occasionally do that which de-
serves criticism, but we insist, and rely upon
the splendid record he has made to sustain
us that he has accomplished an extraorai-
nary amount of good, and that he deserves
the enthusiastic support of the comrades
everywhere.

NATIVE WINES.

The California Viticultural Society, which,
translated into the vernacular, means the
gentlemen engaged in growing grapes and
making wine on the Pacific slope, have been
making an earnest effort to introduce their
wines into Washington. To that end they
have opened q depot, at which the best
quality of these goods, and which are known
to be strictly pure, can be obtained at less
prices than are now paid for inferior and
adulterated European wines. They seem
about to make a success Of it, and it is to be
hoped they will, for it is constant reproach
to our boosted industrial enterprise that,
with the finest grape-growing country that
the sun shines upon, we are still dependent
upon Europe for nine-tenths of the wine
that our people drink. This is economically
outrageous. At time when we cannot find
market for the immense quantities of
wheat, corn and hogs that our people are
producing we are paying the same countries
that are shutting out these products of ours
millions of dollars year for wines which
should be produced by the men who are
now engaged in raising a surplus of grain
and meat.
Nothing in our industrial history is SO
incomprehensible as our neglect Of the grape
Ever since the beginning of time the vine
has gone hand in hand with the wheat plant
and the sheep as one of the main sources oil
peoples wealth. We have done little when
we should have done everything. Vineyards
ought to be plentier in the South thar
tobacco patches. One thousandth of the
energy that those people have devoted tC
politics and to stirring up rebellion would
have made the grape crop of the soutf
worth more than the cotton crop is, anC
everybody would have been the gamer.
The California gentlemen are doing goot
missionary work in this direction B.
demonstrating, as they do, that an American
wine is better as well as cheaper than thu
imported they are pioneering most excel
lent cause.

AGLOoMY OUTLOOK.

We are forced to the confession that as we
30 ito press the prospect for legislation at this
session to carry out the recommendations Of
the National Pension Committee of the
GAR. is not at all favorable. This is largely
due to the attitude Of the President, and TO
the conviction that he win veto any
general pension bill that may be
presented to him, always excepting the
Mexican Pension Bill 1t was this feeling
that induced the Senate 10 pass the Mexican
Pension Bill without the amendments that
were formerly insisted upon, and which in
cluded the recommendations Of the National
Pension Committee The latter has done
splendid work before both Houses, and If it
had been possible TO get any general bil,
through III would nave secured the passaSe Va
the greater part of its recommendations. As
il is, the hostility Of the President will
force the denial of relief to disabled
veterans for at least another year. The
broken-down soldiers who are now eating
the bread of penury and sorrow in the poor
houses, will have TO exist on aims many
weary months more until some influence
can be brought to bear to soften the heart
Of this political Pharaoh, and Of the soldier
hating Members of the House of Repre-
sentatives.

voted himself to the search for the precious

in 1883, in building the great Cambria Iron
Works at JOhnstOWn- He continued in the
employ of that company until the breaking
out of the war Of the rebellion.
