PPoF. II. C. MOORE, of the Theolog-
ical Seminary, Rochester, N. l., Is
compiling a volume of North Caro-
lima poetry. We are glad he has
undertaken this work, as we think it
will be a healthful stimulus to native
literature. The first and only gem
eral collection of North Carolina
poetry was made by Mrs. Mary Bay
ard Clarke, of New Berne, in 1854,
and published in two volumes with
the title of "Word Notes or Caro-
lima Carols Prof. Moore has col
lection of eighty poems by twenty
eight writer's which he win soon issue
in q book of $50 pages. We urge
our literary readers to send their
names to him as subscribers to this
volume with promise to pay It's
price, 81, when it is ready for
delivery.

IT is curious to note what causes
sometimes influence certain men or
certain papers. The New York Re-
corder, the paper in which MIR. Duke,
of Durham, is said to be interested,
came out squarely for repeal of the
Sherman law. After a little while,
thinking it would be good adver-
tisement to declare the other way, it
wheeled around and blared against
repeal. The Recorder is said to be in
desperate straits to make it's income
meet expenses.

GOLD MINING.

The increased interest in the miner
al wealth-of North Carolina is due in
large part, we think, to the very
worthy exhibit made at the Worlds
Fair, On the record book for visitors
there we found expressions of opin-
ion from many competent people,
and we take pleasure in reproducing
a few of them: Mr.. W. II. Smeaton,
a pnining engineer of New York City
writes: "The best exhibit in the
building both as regards the beauty
of gems and number OF mineral
species.'' Mr.. Thos. W. Breaker also
of New York says: Having been IN
your State inspectingi it somewhat In
1891 and desiring it's continued pros
perity, and finding your exhibit SO
complete, I sincerely trust your peo-
pie will reap the reward of their de-
served efforts and enterprise" Mr.
F. w. Clark, Chief Chemist of the
United States Geological Survey,
gives this opinion: "The installation
of the North Carolina collection Is
yery good and effective. 1t is simple
and elegant; not over decorated
! The collection is very creditable. ="
This is endorsed by Mr.. Chas. ID.
| Walcott of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey. Prof. W. l.. Poteat, OF
Wake Forest, declared iU to be "a
comprehensive exhibit admirably
displayed"
| So we feel that a great deal of good
| has come of the exhibit at Chicago
and trust we may soon see the pros
perity that may perhaps await us.
In this State there are ten principal
counties in the collaborating belt
Guilford, Randolph, Moore, David
son, Stanley, Montgomery, Rowan,
Cabarrus, Union and Mecklenburg.
There are twenty more counties IN
which some gold is found In the
ten counties there are about twenty
five veins in each, a vein In Ran
dolph county at the depth of $50
feet is fourteen feet thick, and in one
township of Rowan county there are
said to be 200 miles of measured vein
matter, carrying gold, silver and
copper. There is good reason for
| believing that Western North Caro-
lima will produce a great deal oil
wealth in the next ten years. when
men from Colorado and other mining
States come into this State and
prospect for good mining properties
it would seem that a revival OF the
gold mining industry has already
begun.
