the road was extended to California, which
was done in the winter of 1878, and Suffer
afterwards followed the wrong road to Or
egon.
1t is remarkable coincidence that both
the first pieces of gold mentioned were in
possession of Weimer and his wife, and the
latter kept them in Der possession, too.
Weimer intended to fetch the nugget to the
Fort, but as he was prevented, as superin-
tendent of the laborers. he gave the nugget
to Marshall to carry. Suppose, now, Wei
mer had kept the nugget in his possession,
and fetched it to the Fort and he and Sut-
ter had made the test, would not Weimer
have been considered the discoverer of the
first gold in California? Undoubtedly.
Here was Weimer's great mistake-to let
this nugget slip out of his possession. He
must have been an Inexperienced man, and
of phlegmatic disposition, but honest and
harmless. Here he had to deal with sharp
Yankees, and how easy it was to deprive
him OF the honor of being the discoverer
of the first gold in California;
There are often chances that persons let
slip-not through their individual neglect,
but sometimes because of obstacles. again
by dependence, again by indifference, ana
often has the object at the very time not
the least value. Any person who has paid
attention to this matter of gold discovery.
must know that there was much written
and said about the price Mrs. Weimer asked
from the State for her nugget. This proves
that the nugget was the genuine one, or
the State would not have negotiated for it.

summation of the bargain, and for the only
reason of bestowiDg the honor on an Ameri-

father, Thomas Cassell, was we'll

Twice married, his first union was
blessed with two children, his Sec

of them boys. In the second mus

twins. The last child was born
when the mother was 4S years of
age. When dinner was served it
was not necessary to invite company
to have full table. If none were
missing twenty-five sat down to the
table. The prolific mother lived to
be 81. She was nobly represented
in the fatetul days of war by her
troop of sons on many battle field.
The father was soldier and pen
sioner of the war of 1912. He died
last year at Gadsden, Ala, in the
Tooth year OF his age, being confined
to his bed but four days before his
death. In his long pilgrimage, he

FIRE INSURANCE TRUST.

Talk about the bagging trust, it
is no worse than the fire insurance
combine. Dear reader, did you
know that the companies doing bus
mess in this State will not insure
property, especially gin houses, ex-
cept at rate that is simply prohib-
tory ? The towns with water works
and fire apparatus fare but little bet
ter. The Southeastern Tariff Asso-
citation, located in Atlanta, controls
the rate of all the companies and it
is the same everywhere. There is
absolutely no competition in fire in
surance. They fix the rate and you
have to pay it or take your own
risk. This trust ought to be "bust-
ed'' higher than a kite and can be if
the press will urge the .organizs ton
of home companies. Some officers
receive as high salary as $4,000 a

THE TOUCH OF SIN.

When an earthly touch mars ii
heavenly gift, it can never be restor-
ed to its primitive beauty. Ruffie
the snow just fallen, and who shall
lay it again? Displace the dew as
it has fallen on the blushing fruit,
and no skill can replace it; press
the rose leaf and wound it, and
none can give back the perfection
of it's tints. So it is with human
character. When youth has lost its
innocence, when sin has once bias
ted the soul, when the first fresh
ness of a God-given life is gone, no
after repentance, reformation or de-
votion to God will ever make it the
same. Memory is polluted, the
Imagination assailed by impurities,
the habits of virtue are weakened,
and the force of vice strengthened.
The vileness may be healed, but the
scar remains. God may forgive the
sin, and man may forget it; but it is
never beyond the vision of him who
committed it, and however distant
it may be, it hovers over him like
gloomy cloud. Let US keep our
feet from evil; blessed is he who es-
capes its first foul touch. "The
knowledge of good and evil" now
as in the beginning, hath death in

WAGE WORKERS.

The wage workers of the country
possess power of which they know
but little at this Stime, (which can
come only by slow, steady accu-
mutation of surplus earnings. In
all our larger cities throughout the
North the wage workers are the
heaviest depositors. 1t is their mon
ely, under the control of able men,
that moves the wheels of trade and
commerce. In Boston the deposits
of the wage workers run into the
millions. Throughout the manu-
featuring towns of New England
and the Middle States there are tens
of thousands and millions invested
by the wage workers which brings
them returns ranging from 3 to 6
per cent. Philadelphia has its banks
filled with money from the pockets
of its 100000 wage workers, and
Pittsburg has twenty-five million
dollars in its banks, placed there by
the toilers in mills and factories.
The wage workers of the Sonth

haps they will be able to direct the
investments of their own funds.
