statement to the congregation in which

were violating the Sabbath openly and
that the session acquiesced in it. He is-

''Stop right there. That is not true.

DIR. Law was not a bit abashed, and
went on to say that he spoke to the con-
gregation as whole, and, while he
wished to hurt no ono, he must say it.
After sharp colloquy there was confu-

DR.. Law warmed up and declared that
he would rather see the church closed

Nuggets Of Gold in North Carolina


Another surface gold mine has been
discovered in North Carolina. Several
weeks ago gold was located in Stanly
county on the property of w. s. IngraI
ham, who at once gave parties permission
to prospect for gold AS a result an ex-
traordinary rich find is reported, and
nugget weighing over 100 pennyweights
was picked up. A large number of
others weighing from one half penny
weight to sixty pennyweights were also
discovered. The property could have
been bought for $500 before the dis
covery, and the owner has since refused
S15, 900 forit. The oldfashioned "rockcr"
is the only means so far used in working
the mine, and the gold is generally easily
detected without the use of the rocker.
The mining of monozitc is also a new
industry in the gold belt of Rutherford
and Mcdowell counties, and the ore
brings 800 ton at the abroad station.
