vIRGiNlA'S ICE MINE.
1t Is One of the Greatest Wonders II
This Country.

1t Is One Of the Greatest Wonders In
This Country.
One of the greatest curiositics i'll tho
is the wonderful ledge of ice which ex.
lists, even in the midst of the hottest
summer, in Scott county, Va. This nat
ural icehouse is situated OIL the north
side Of StCne mountain and about six
miles from the mouth Of u small stream
known as Stony creek. The marvel is
said to have beep known to at least one
of the early settlers, u Mr.. Danridge,
who, it is alleged, discovered it while
deer hunting away back in 1880. Ow-
ing to the fact that the land OH which
it was situated could not be bought, Mr..
Danridge positively refused to tell Of
the whereabouts Of the ice ledge, and
only visited the place when it was alb.
solutely necessary to obtain a supply to
be used in case of sickness.
The old man died many years ago,
and from that time until 1898 the loca.
ton Of Danridge's ice mine was un.
known, the old gentleman having never
even taken his own family into the SO.
cret.
In the year last mentioned, however,
party Of herb diggers visited the un
~frequented region contiguous to Stone
mountain and were fortunate enough to
rediscover the lost ice mine.

FouST A FREE MAN.
This Defaulting Cashier of the Bank of
Salisbury Finished His Term of Ser

vice.
Isaac H. Foust is once more free
man This is not because of executive
eIemency, but for the simple reason
that he has served out his sentence.
Mr.. Foust was one of the most trust
ed and highly respected men in Sails
bury, was secretary of the cotton mills
and cashier of the First National Bank
of Salisbury. He became involved in
speculation, and took the banks funds
to pay margins" At last the ineyita-
bic came, and State bank examiner
discovered the deficiency, amounting
to several thousand dollars. When
brought face to face with his crime he
confessed. The Judge sentenced him
TO two years at hard labor in the State
prison. His people had position and
influence, and petition with hun
dreds of signatures was presented to
the Governor asking him to pardon the
embezzIer The Governor refused say
ing that he found no sufficient grounds
for interfering with the carrying out
Of the sentence.
So he has worked in the penitentia-
~ and worn the stripes of the convict
for twenty-one months; three months
were. for good behavior, deducted from
the term Of service.
Isaars Foust has paid the penalty Of
his crime, and once more takes up the
thread of life.
But the past is closed to him. He
will not return TO Salisbury, the scene
of his prosperity and his shame.
His family joined him here yester-
day, and he viii go out into the world
and make his home in another place.
