Gold in Nash CountS

Nash county is one of the neighbor-
ing counties of this (Vance) county. 1t
is rich in many OF the material ele-
ments of wealth, not the least of which
is its gold bearing properties. Several
mines are being operated to advantage
and others will be opened. We quote
the following paragraphs from the
Nashville Argonaat:
The Mann-Arrington cleaned up
twenty-seven pounds and two ounces
Of gold amalgam from ten days run
of their twenty stamp mills.
A tenant on the property of the Ed
wards Mining Company, brought us in
some ore literally strung together with
free gold, that he had turned up with
his plow. This company has a very
valuable property, and we trust they
will soon begin its active development.
1t may be bonanza. One vein On
the Woodard property is opened up fol
nearly mile and half in length
The width is as yet undetermined as
the vein has not been opened to any
depth but pits sunk on surface show q
width of over thirty feet, of free-mill
ing gold ore, that pans from five tc
twenty dollars per ton; the best pan
nings coming from the bottom Of tht
deepest pits. Work will be energeti
cally prosecuted on this property.

Hon. Abram S. Hewitt. on the South.
(Richmond, Va. State.I

Hon. Abram S. Hewitt having es-
capped the turmoil and vicissitudes of
the Metropolitan mayoralty, has been
visiting the South and bringing his
well-trained iron eye to bear on our
mines and manufactures. Here is
what he told Herald reporter in
Atlanta:
"I was last here in 1860. The
change since then is simply marvellous,
and although had kept posted though
the newspapers, am free to say that
personal observation brings many sur
prises. / have heard much of the
wonderful resources OF Alabama and
Georgia, of the push and energy of
your people, of the South as being
favorable for financial investments,
and of the wonderful development OF
your section in every way. can now
say that the true state of affairs has
not been exaggerated. What we have
seen in our short trip cannot, am
sure, be seen in any other quarter OF
the globe"
"It comes up to your expectations
then?" | asked.
"Much more" he answered. "My

How to Get Rich in the South

This is the interesting title OF small
volume written by Mr.. w. H. Harri-
son, Jr. Mr.. Harrison has spent con-
siderable time, it appears, in the South
and his book IS the result of experience
and observation OF his own. He has
been highly impressed both with the
country and its people. We have not
seen the book, but quote the following
from brief review of it in the Charles
ton Ne7os and Courier. 1t copies:
TO the man who will use his brains
and his energy, s:.ys the author in the
preface to his little volume, the South
certainly presents greater opportunities
for gaining wealth and enjoying it than
any other portion of the country.
And again he says: The people are
kind, sociable and hospitable, the poll
tician to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Land is cheap, and the lazy man can
live easier and the energetic man can
get rich faster than in any other coun-
try. There is no country that offers
such tempting inducements to the
capitalist for profitable investments
and the invalid may, with the others
find a home where he can gain health
and strength amid the fruits and flow
ers of-the "Sunny South"
He proves by an interesting com
parison of we'll ascertained facts thai
there is no country where as mucl
money can-be made by farming as ii
the South. He establishes beyond
question that more money can be made
at stock raising in the South than il
the North +; that sheep husbandry car
be prosecuted with better financia
success in the South than in the North
that the South is particularly adapted
to the poultry industry that the Sout
is the natural home for most all OF tn
fruits that in spite of the one grea
crop of cotton the South is grea
farming country; that the South Ca
beat the world at truck growing; tina
in it's mineral and timber resources, i
its streams and fields and groves tn
South is an empire of illin1itable poss
bilities and that there is no better Ian
of promise under the sun"

A RICH FIELD FOR MANU-
FACTORIES.

The extent to which the Old North
State is coming to the front in all
kind of manufacturing enterprises and
large schemes for the development of
her resources. is simply wonderful, and
there are other enterprises, backed by
millions, not yet known to the general
public, which will accomplish splendid
results in the near future. re.-NashviIle
Arg0nant.
No State offers a better field for
manufacturing enterprises than North
Carolina, and Henderson and Vance
county should be reckoned as by no
means the least attractive part. Here
we have the raw material in abund-
ance and of the best quality, cotton
tobacco, wood and other necessary
articles.

Eayc cost, that only the mos: violent
apti-administration journals ever alluded

Reduction of military and naval forces
and gradual disarmament was now the
policy of the allied nations. Such forces
and such vessels as might be demanded
for the future operations of the war syn
licate were retained. A few field bat
tsries Of motor guns were all that would
be needed on land, and comparatively
small number of armored ships would
suffice to carry the motor guns that
would be required at sea.
Now there would be no more mere cx-
lIibitions of the powers of the instanta-
neous motor bomb. Hereafter, If battles
must be fought, they would be battles of
annihilation.
This is the history of the great syndi-
cate war. Whether or not the Anglo
American syndicate was ever called upon
to make war, is not to be stated here.
But certain it is that after the formation
Of this syndicate all the nations Of the
world began to teach English in their
schools, and the Spirit Of Civilization
raised her head with confident smile.

Fofthe first three months of this year
there have been 1889 new enterprises
begun at the South valued at S58,277,-
900, against new enterprises of the
value of s36,66S,ooo, for the same

gain during the last three months was
S2,128,ooo. These facts and figures
are gathered from the Manufacturers
Record, of Baltimore, which is authori-
ty on all such matters.
These Improvements are all made in
the manufacturing line. To them mus,
be added the increased valuation Of
our agricultural lands, and town and
city property. In almost every coun'
ty in The State, if not in every one o.
them, there is steady increase in price
of farm lands, and all Of our town:

that they name some fortified place which
the Syndicate will destroy in order to
demonstrate the power of their bombs.
After deliberating several days, the Gov
ernment select Caerdaff, on the Welsh
coast, as the place to be destroyed. On the
appointed day the repeller begins the bonn
bardment from point nine miles away,
and such is the destructive power OF the
bombs that the high promontory Of Caer-
daft is completely effaced and the coast
line so changed that a new bay is created.
This, of course, convinces the English that
it is useless to longer fight against the Syn
dicate, and treaty Of peace is soon nego-
tiated Then the American and English
Governments secure control of the inven-
tions of the Great War Syndicate, and an
alliance for the domination of the world is
speedily formed between the two nations,
to the vast and almost immediate improve
ment of all mankind. During the whole
of the war but one man is killed, and his
death is caused by the fall of a derrick. A
monument is raised to his memory.

Both countries were too well satisfied
with the general result to waste time or
discussion over small matters. Great
Britain had lost some forts and some
ships, but these would have been COM

gained not only the incalculable advan.
