A LIFE RACE FOR A TROPHY.
Gen. Jackson's Cup Will Go to the
Last Survivor of the Old Pal
metto Guard

Col. j. j. Martin is one of the .;..:y
survivors OF the old Palmetto Regiment,
South Carolina. who are running a life
race for historic trophy. Just after the
war Of 1912 the ladies of South Carolina
presented Gen. Jackson with beautiful
and costly cup indicative of their appre-
citation of the bravery and gallantry dis
played by him at the battle of New Or
leans. When General Jackson died his
will ordered the cup to be given to the
bravest soldier from South Carolina in
the next war which should occur. The
cup was carefully put away in the State
archives at Columbia to await the out
come Of the next war
The next war was the Mexican war.
South Carolina sent out the Palmetto
Regiment, |, 100 strong. II fought in
many battles, and only 800 of the 100
came back. Then the question as to who
should have Jackson's cup arose The
Legislature appoircd commission to
decide the matter. The commission
could reach no conclusion. Every men,
Der of the regiment had fought we'll No
one had run away or showed the slight
est cowardicc and it. was impossible to
award the trophy. Thercupon thu Leg
islature decided that the cup should 70
to the last survivor of 800. There are
only 90 left, and it is the especial am
bition of each to outlive the Others so rs
to possess the trophy.

Georgia Gold.

CHATTANooGA, TENN, Feb. 1s.-Gold
was discovered in Gilmer county, Ga,
rs early ~ 1885, but on account of the
lack Of capital and energy of the inhab
itants, and their ignorance as to the
abundance Of precious metals in the
county, the development of the mineral
wealth "f the State was delayed till This
hate day. Gilmer county is almost in its
infancy in the development of its pre-
cious metals, yet it has been known ever
since the white man came into this coun-
try that it had some very rich gold mines
Among the most noted gold is the
white Path" mine, from which it
is estimated $500, 600 of gold has been
taken from the placer alone. The Car.
lccay mine is known as one of the richest
in tho South. Our oldest citizens csti-
mate that between 5000, 900 and $780,
600 have been taken from its placers
IN 1885 some practical miners opened up
