Shook the Earth,

BUTTE, MONT. October 3.-A terrible
explosion of giant powder occurred at 7
o'clock last evening in the shaft house OF
the grand squirrel mine. About 500
pounds of the stuff went off. 1t was stor-
ed in the house and an incipient fire,
which was being extinguished at the
time, exploded it. All the buildings,
boilers, hosting machinery, etc., about
the mine were completely wrecked and
all houses in the vicinity, which are occu-
pied by the laboring classes, were mora
or less damaged. The shock produced
an effect like that of an earthquake, stop
ping clocks, closing doors, and was felt
all over the city. That any one ABOUT the
mine OF near the explosion escaped with
their lives seems miraculous. Mike Zept,
q miner at work in the bottom of the
shaft, ITO feet, was struck by the bucket
which fell from the surface and sustained
probably fatal injuries. Mrs. Povish was
hurt about the head and her 13- months-old
babe was also struck by the flying wreck
age. Mike Smith suffered a concussion
of the brain from the shock.

"Baldhead" Replies to "Joeberry.n

Mr.. EDITOR I have been asked by

to poor old "Joe," and I have always
done him all the good 1 could; 1 have
kept him out of trouble and treated him
like one of my children; I have gone fish

and bird threshing with him, and now he
falls out with me for writing the truth,
and tries to throw me in the ditch and
mud on the five notch road. Common
sense and law is mighty good thing on
a road. am glad every body can't see
everything alike. If they did, the County
Com missioner would not have said that
the road between his house and Cedar
Grove was one of the three best roads in
the County. l think it is two miles from
his house to Cedar Grove, and there are
five bitches across the road that were not

how does that sound2

A Word From an Old CarolInIan.

WlNNsBoRo, TEXAS, Oct. 7th, 1891.
Mr.. EDITOR: Being a constant reader
Of your valuable paper, and seeing you
have several correspondents, l thought it
not amiss to give you a few dots from the
"Lone Star Stats" We have fine crops
out here of every kind--wheat, oats, corn,
cotton, ribbon cane and potatoos-in fact,
nearly everything that can be raised by
the farmer is good. Now is the time to
come to Texas, everything is plentiful
and cheap, health is good, and weather
fine I might tell you Of several mar
riages aud accidents, but it would not in
terest your readers, as all are strangers.
I notice with particular interest your cor

as I have many relatives and old school.
mates at and around those places. [ was
born in South Carolina, and raised in ABB
beville and Anderson Counties (then Dis.
tricts); got my little education mostly in
Anderson, south of Beton three or four
miles, and when 7 was back in the old
State last winter l met many that never
expected to see again, which was great
pleasure to me. 7 visited your city on
Salesday in January last, and I must say
I was surprised. I saw more pistols sold
that day than ever saw in Texas all put
together. began to think that we were
more civilized than you were in that good
old State. think there were two or
three thousand people there that day, and
half of them wero black. am glad to
note You have good crops, and that you
are having some good revival meetings I
am also glad to see that Gov. Tillman is
standing square to the Democrats and

New Farmers Movement.

WILLIAMSON, S. c., October o.
Another movement among the farmers,
this time in tho right direction, We be-
lieve. One of the prominent men this
time is Col Lewis Z. Campbell, of Ander-
son lone of the tweDty-one conference
Another ono is Capt. S. j. Duckworth, OF
Williamson. The movement on foot is
to bring their land up to such high state
Of cultivation that they can make living
on few acres. Colonel Campbell will
get this year very large yield of cotton
and corn. Captain Duckworth will get at
least twenty-five bushels of corn per aero
from the same land where ho raised fif-
teen bushels of wheat per acre. Hurrah
for this movement. If the people gener-
ally would fall into line with this move
ment it would do moro good chan all the
'Tillman and Polk movements" Their
movement is for individuals. The Camp
bell and puckworth movement would be
for the benefit Of oil the people. Fall into

Obituary..

Another home circle has been broken |;
other hearts are torn and bleeding. Miss
Mary J. Robinson. oldest daughter Of
Capt. Fl. Robinson, of Level Land,
S. c., died on the morning of Octo-
Der 11th, 1891. Miss Mary bad been a
consistent member of the Little River
Baptist Church for more than twenty
years; had been member of the Wo-
mans Missionary Society from its organi:.
zatiop, and its efficient Secretary and
Treasurer for several yearo. She belonged
to the Kings Daughters at Little Riter.
She was from childhood member of the
Little River Sunday School, and had been
for years teacher of a very largo class OF
little girls and boys.
She will be missed in the home circle, in
Church and Sun day School work, but the
Master has seen proper to remove her
from our midst to Himself, so that she
may receive the recompense of her re-
ward. We'll may it be said of her that
"She hath done what she could. "Well
done thon good and faithful servant, en-
ter thou into the joys of thy Lord" We
do not sorrow as those who have no hope,
but expect to meet our sister again when
life's fitful fever is over. BROTHER

= The phrase, "NNorth its weight in
gold," no longer expresses the idsa which
it was intended to convey. For there
arc at least twenty tysubstanccs worth more
than gold. Berylium, for instance, is
worth ten times its weight in pure gold,
and vcnadium is five times as costly as
the precious metal. Iridium, also, is
moro than twice as costly as gold. The
text books used to say that platinum was
the only metal more valuable than gold,
but it now costs about the same.
