man who registered at the Grand Ccatral
Eotei tonight has knowledge of q dis.
covery which when fully developed will
make the kaolin beds of this State infin.
itely more valuable than the phosphate

of the News and Courier if be knew Mr.
-P. A. Emanuel of the Aiken Bar, which
being answered, be went on to relate the
following facts:
tits known that fortune not to be
reckoned by millions awaits the discover.
or of cheap process for the manufacture
of aluminium. About a year ago Mr..
Emanuel applied himself to this prob
lem, and it is believed that he has arriv.
ed at its correct solution. The material
which he used is the kaolin of Aiken
County, the basis with which he worked
sulphuric acid. On making the discove-
~ Mr.. Emanuel went to Washington and
submitted his process to the scientists
there, and now has his discovery secure
from attack by the proper letters patent
and caveats. ;.
Not very long ago aluminium was sold
at about SIG, 900 q ton, but by a process
which was considered fnal the price was
reduced at Pittsburg to two dollars and a
half "a pound or about $4,000 ton.
The startling announcement ls made
now that by the ingenuity of Mr.. Aman-
uel aluminium can be freed from kaolin
at cost of about two dollars and half
ton, being price two thousand times
less than by the Pittsburg process. AS
there is now more demand in the world
for aluminium for mechanical purposes
than there is for gold, the immensely of
the field and fortune for the discoverer
will be apparent.
It is said that half million dollars has
already been offered for location near
Aiken for plant to develop the alumni.

The narrator of these facts said that be
had seen lot of the clay after one of the
preliminary processes in which the meta!
had already materialized. de also said
that Mr.. Emanuel had discovered q ma
terial which will greatly decrease the
cost of manufacturing phosphate fertlll-
zers. A caveat has been filed for this
discovery, but the scheme is retained for
the present, as the publication of it might
embarrass the discoyerer.
It is understood that the facts herein
have been given to Georgia industrial
paper. If the facts be as stated, and
there is no reason to doubt them, as the
gentleman who stated them is man OF

Sketch of Successful Colored Man OF
Newberry County.

Nothing gives us more pleasure thar
to present to the readers of the Herald
an electro of Deacon Lewis Ducket, OF
the Flint Hill Baptist Church, of New!
berry County, also to give sketch OF
the life of one of the most successful
colored men in South Carolina, nd OF
whom every colored Baptist in the State
can be justly proud
He was born on the banks of Reedy
River, in Laurens County, during the
year 1924. His parents were Jerry and
Harriet Fuller, both of whom died when
he was quite young, hence be- remembers
but little of them. Shortly after their
death he was sold to planter by the
name of Ducket, in Newberry County,
with whom he remained until freedom.
From him he took the MANS OF bucket
When the war closed it found him
with an invalid wife whom he was COM
pelled to lift about as child, for she had
lost the use of her limbs several years
before, seven children and a five dollar
gold piece. With this amount, undaunt.
ed by the difficulties that stared him IN
the face, he began life.
Refusing to enter politics, he chose
farming as most coDgenisl to him. he
rented the place formerly owned by his
master, giving one third OF the crop for
rent four yeare. He saved the first year
S4OO second year $500, and the third and
fourth wears $500 each. With the money
saved be purchased several head Of stock
ond rented tho whole place. paving for
the same $4,000 in cash each year up to
1878.
From the profits of his farming he has
purchased three places, paying Tor the
first So, 500, for the second S2,50O ana 1or
the third $1,000 cash. On saleday IN
last July tho place on which he now
lives was offered for sale. His bid was
s21 1444. an examination of the title
revealed that the place could not be cold
because all the heirs were not OF age, 30
he is still forced to rent.
at present be runs twenty four piows,
cultiyatiDg nine hundred acres. his
average crop for each year is 200 bales
of cotton and about 1000 bushels of corn.
He has not purchased q peck OF corn or
pound of meat for his own use Since
the war. His wife died during the year
1877. He then married Miss Nancy
Hill, of Laureps County. By her ne has
had four children.
Brother Ducket joined the church dur
ing the var, and was baptized by Rev.
William May6eld When freedom
came he assisted in organizing the Flint
Hill Baptist Church. Rev. W. Boyd
was chosen as the first pastor. Under
the pastorate Of Rev. Alfred Reeder,
Benjamin Byrd and himself were chosen
and ordained deacons. This position he
has filled acceptably to the church for
more than 81 years He is member OF
the Board of Managers of the State Con.
vention, having filled this position ever
since its organization.

commend the life of Deacon Ducket as
worthy of imitation.-Raptist Herald.

Report that Interested Democrats
and Farmers Alliance Hen.

Hon. E. b. Wade, Secretary Of the
Tennessee State Democratic Executive
Committee, and holding similar posi-
ton in the Farmers Alliance of that,
State, who was delegate to the Ocala
Florida, convention of the Farmers Al
lance, in an interview yesterday at
Nashville, Tenn, said that he has been
grossly and unjustly misrepresented in
the dispatches from California in regard
to an alleged resolution binding every
member OF the Alliance to subscribe to
the platform of the order and support no
man for Office who does not subscribe to
these principles. He says no such reso-
luton was offered by himself or eny other
delegate to the convention. Tie report
has created great interest among. the
Democrats and Alliance men of this and
adjoining States.
Mr.. Wade said: $50 far as my indi-
vidual views are concerned they amount
to little, but I have been placed before
the country in false attitude, and the
press generally have selected me as a
target. I deemed it due myself to say
that my views have undergone no change
relative to the demands of the Alliance.

Speaking for the order, | want to say
that it is nou-partisan. Our first declar-
alton is to labor for the education of the

nomical government in strictly non.
partisan spirit, aud to bring about more
perfect union of said classes We bind
no member to vote for men or measures,
but leave each individual to act as his
conscience dictates on all political ques-
tions and politics.
"The Tennessee delegation at the Oca-
Ia meeting, which was composed of Gov
ernor-elect Buchanan, J. H. Mcdowell,
W. @. Lightfoot and myself, endeavored
by all honorable means to have the ma
tional organization adopta broad, liberal,
conservative policy, so that we could 60

All and Special Favors to None We
we're all unalterably opposed to any third
party movement, aud agreed among our
selves that if this issue was forced we
would retire from the body. However,
no attempt was made looking to this end.
Whatever action was taken by the social.
ed reform press after the adjournment of
the National Alliance cute no figure as far
as the great mass Of the order is concern
ed, and I Iapprehend that no member will
consider for moment that the action in
the members of the press will be binding
in the remotest degree on other individ-
ual actions on public questions.

Goyernor-elect Buchanan in denouncing
