GOLD.
A GREAT FIND.
W atchma an

Gold represents concentrated
wealth, hence the finding OF large
quantities OF the precious metal is
the best OF news in q purely worldly
sense.
Ma. Carter, gentleman living in
Montgomery county, came to S4lis-
bury, last week and reported most
wonderful stories of 8 big fad OF
gold near his home, saying that
over bushel had been taken ont iu
the last four weeks. The statement
seemed so fabulous that before Civ
ing it to the world We concluded to
send representative down to the
place lit being only thirty five miles
and fiud out the facts which are as
follows ard which we c&n safely
vouch for:
The discovery was made on q
piece of laad controlled by Mr.. Z.
G. Saunders, but which belonged to
brother in Texas. The discovery
was made accidently by young
man who was out turkey hunting.
and work was st once begun IN wash
ing the surface. While this was be
ing done three little stringers OF
veins were uncovered which were
nearly all COLL. The find was kept
q1iet as long as possible, but when
il came generally known the brother
was telegraphed for. and he replied
to stop the work at once until his
arrival. Our representative happen
el on the ground at very iDoppor-
tune time, being only a few hours
after the hands had been ordered to
stop work, and for this reason could
not see the work in progress but
from interviews had with the men,
and from what he saw he does not
hesitate in saying that Mr.. Carter
statement in regard to the busheI
was correct.
About half of this gold was taken
out of the top surface and the re
mainder from three parallel string
ers or veins about eight feet apart
and about one.half inch in thickness
Two of these veins have been sunk
to the depth Of about 20 feet, while
the other has a depth OF only q few
feet.
The people in the neighborhood
are all very much excited over the
find and very naturally so. They
now talk of gold by the pound, while
heretofore it was only by the groin

Try This.

A certain young man in Durham
went to see his inamOrta the other
night, and she, wishing to get rid
of him, used this device: She gave
him a paper and pencil with one of
her sweetest sniles, and said 4:
CHOW make a row of eleven ciphers;
now make a perpendicular mark
downward on the right of the
first cipher, upwards on the right
of the fourth, downward on the
right of the fifth, upward on the
right of the seventh and eighth,
downward on the right of the
TENTH" She then asked him to
read what he had written. The
effect was electrical. The marks
are to be made half and inch long.

What Reporter Must be.

The Western Journalist says tie
following Of what a reporter must
be:
A reporter on small paper has
to be strange compound. He
must have a keen nose tor news and
when he has secured his items he
must have the intelligence and
ability to put them IN shape without
making mistakes. To do this sue
cessfully, he wants knowledge of
all social topics. A little of litera-
ture and art, a smatttring of sci
ence, with a tinge of sporting,
farming and commercial life; must
know the last joke and the latest
story; IN short, be has to be O walk
ing encyclopedia. If he goes on
an agricultural paper he is required
10 know all about cabbages and
potatoes, the right way to milk a
COW and which is the kicking end
Of mule. Perhaps his next en-
gagement will be on a social paper
and then he has to become acQuain-
ted with the movements of the
fashionable world, the correct art of
dINssing, the proper curve of hat
brlm and the right length of a
Sacque. just as lie has acquired
all this knowledge the paper dies
and the unhappy reporter gets a
berth on paper edited by sport
Jag or POLITICAL crank, Then be is
turned upside down, the old ideas
emptied out of him and new Ones
poured in. No wonder the average
reporter gets bumptOus and cranky.

The editor of tue Lincoln Neb.,
Call evidently had a bad fit of the
"blues" when he wrote this We
mix in the great international jam g.;
we crowd and push and rush and
worry. And all for what? Over in
the graveyard, yonder, lie the
hopes, am billions and dreams of a
thousand men who rushed ard
worried, who toiled and struggled
only to find a narrow prison cell

centuries old, are found covered
with the dust Of human beings.
They yield up their treasures, and
vandals dig among the bones of
the dead without a sacred thought,
that they may find a bit of gold to
satiate their greed. And the man

Good Thoughts.


When we are the Objects of fat

tered to others, we should examine
and consider well the character and
circumstances of the person offering
1t, IN order to Judge if the act be an
offence against good morals, and, if
so. how far it is so. If it appears
to proceed from base motives, let it
be treated with open contempt ; If
from the wish for a return, pass it
as a weakness if from good nature
or excessive appreciation. excuse it
for the sake of it's amible source.

4 Tough Cat story.

Some time since Mr.. Arch Nc
MILAN discovered that his cat was
eating chickens, and thought to be
rid of him, and got negro to take
him four miles IN the country one
afternoon, but he was back t. break
fast next morning. The chicken
killing continued, and something
had to be done. So, one mornIug
about six weeks ago the cat was
locked in box car loaded with
rosin, which car went straight
through to Portsmouth, Va. Im-
agine Mr.. McMillan's surprise to see
the cat back at home last Thursday
at nooa. 1t had travelled more than
24O miles, and been six weeks on
the road. Several neighbors, As
we'll as the owner identified 1t as the
same Cat sent away. The poor thing
j. hardly more than skin and bones.
There is no miracle in tie fact that
it walked 240 miles, bat the mys-

Propagating Cotton Seed.
OF A SOUTHERN PLANTER
WHICH WILL REYOLUTIoNIZE TIE
CULTIVATION OF THIS STAPLE.
By telegraph to the Herald.

By telegraph to the Herald.
Charleston S. c. Nov. l. 1880
A South Carolina farmer, Mr.. TheO>
dore Ferguson. Of Spartanburg. has
made a discovery that will have an
effect Upon the agricultural interests
Of the South that none can yet fore>
| tell. He has produced plant that
yields cotton seed in great abuud>
ance. but without sign of lint. HIS
process has been tested and has
been found satisfactory. 1t has been
IN manipulated by the deterioration OF
the amount Of lint TO the mSltipiics>
tioD Of the seeds. This has been ac-
complished by the gra lual, careful
and critical breeding of the plant.
The results obtained by Mr.. Fer
guson have been through scientific
breeding. There are male and fe>
male cotton plants, the male being
designated, he thinks, by the red
stalks.
| PROPAGATING TIE MALE PLANT.
Mr.. Ferguson commenced some
time ago to pick out the male plants
and with the seed extracted from
them planted another patch separate
ly. When this crop was ready for
picking the male plants were sgain
selected and their production of
seeds planted separately again. This
process of selecting male plants was
kept up until at last the lint refuses
to germinate and nothing is left in
the bols save a large amount Of
seeds. The amount Of seed contain
ed in the boil is more than equal to
the weight of the lint and seed found
in the average sized boil of cotton.
MIR. Ferguson believes that be can
produce four hundred bushels of
seed to the acre by this new dis,
covery where only thirty-fve bushels
are now gathered with the lint. He
has been very careful, in producing
the results given above, to oblIterate
all vestiges OF lint from a boil of
cotton and has succeeded IN most
remarkable m amer.
The boil Or pod of this new plant
has the appearance, both on the ex-
terior and in the interior of regular
boil of cotton after the lint has been
picked out. The seed is little
larger than the common cotton seed
and is perfectly free from any sens
blance Of lint. The bolls are filled
with this seed, which is as numerous
as okra seed in pod of okra. 1t is
also a valuable point in this new dis
covery that the bolls grow in greater
profusIon than usual on cotton.
WILL sUPERsEDE TIE PRESENT PLAN
The hull of the seed contains full
amount of substance exactly similar
to that found in cotton seed now
used in the oil mills. 1t is thought
that this new staple will pan out in
such manner by judlcious cultiva-
ton that it will supersede to a great
degree the present king. If it is
cultivated by the agriculturists in
the near future who can tell the
benefit that VIII arise the ererrom? 1t
will supply the demands for the oil
mills and enrich the farmers. 1t
Will, if Mr.. Ferguson's calculations
are correct, yield to the planter $50
where he now makes only SOFAS
suming that one acre of cotton will
yield $50. The $50 will be obtained
from four hundred bushels of cotton
seed, at twenty cents per bushel,
that being the present price paid for
the raw seed.-New York Herald.
