yesterday morning and continued
through the day, appears to be
pretty general. 1t is fine on corn

farmers who have ripe wheat

it can be harvested. However,
the rain was badly needed and the

GOLD MINING IN THE SOUTH.

Probably no one in the South is
more familiar with the goldmin-
ing interests of that section than
Mr. Wilkes, of the Mecklenburg
Iron Works, of Charlotte. This
company has for years made a
speciality of gold-mining machin-
cry, and controls the Thesis
chlorination system, which has
proved such success at the Halle
mine and elsewhere. The careful
conservatism of Mr.. Wilkes in
regard to gold matters adds value
to an interview in the Atlanta
Constitution, in which he said:
We have had more inquiries in
the last few months than ever
before. There IS no question
about the interest in Georgia
gold properties, and we look for
great development in that line.
Prospectors are dropping in
all the time. A great many have
come here from Cripple Greek
in the last few months, and all
declare that if some of theseGeor-
gia properties were in the West,
they would be valued at millions.
All that is needed to bring the
North Georgia mines to the at
tention of the world is plenty OF
capital to work them and show
that they pay. The pay ore il
here in the ground in abundant
quantities, enough to keep the
largest plants busy for 200 years
In the case of many property
owners, they have not the money
to do any thing more than to &C
down a few feet. From $1,000 te
10000 ought to be spent in de-
veloping mine. Then if the
pay ore is there in quantity the
owner can command a good price
for it.
| These statements are confi1 met
by many others, and it does lool
as though the South is about t.
have very marked increase il

CAN THE SOUTH COMPETE WITH ENG
LAND.

One of the highest mctallurgi-
cal authorities of England, Mr..
Jeremiah Head, who visited the
South in 1890 and again in 1894,
has Just made a report on the
''Iron Industry of Birmingham,
A Ia, with special reference to a
possible competition thercfrom in
British markets. to the British
Iron and Steel Institute. The
main points of this report
present a very strong showing for
the South. Mr.. Head admits the
ability of Alabama to produce
iron at a much lower cost than
England, and that, notwith>
standing all that has been accom-
plished, the iron trade of the
Southern States is yet in its in>
fancy as compared with its fu
ture. He believes that there is
great prosperity in store for the
iron and steel interest of the
South, but lie thinks that the
growth of this business will more
likely injure the Northern and
Western iron trade than create
serious competition with Eng
land. It is striking commen-
tary upon the South's position
that the British Iron and Steel
Institute should find it necessary
TO secure such report and to
carefully discuss the possible
danger of Southern competition.

Much of the solid silver
ware used in Honolulu is
bought in San Francisco by
people visiting there because
it is cheaper.
Twenty-Five per cent,'duty
is a great deal toos much to
pay and it tempts' people to
make purchases while they
are where they. may buy it
cheaper. There is nothing
criminal inss the transaction,
just a bit Impractical econ
omy. There would have been
no necessity for these buyers
to go abroad, if dealers were
willing to divide with their
customers. The profit is large
enough on solid ware to cut
off the twenty-five per cent.
and sell it at a margin salts
factory to every one. People
do not buy when they are
abroad because they can get
better goods, but because
they can get it cheaper.
The selections made by us
are from three Of the largest
factories in theTStates, We
buy for cash and get the ar
ticles cheap and will sell them
at twenty-five per cent, or
exactly the Same as is charged
in San Francisco.
We have child's sets at $6.75
and full tea sets for a great
deal more; the quality has
never been surpassed in this
country and the prices have
never been equalled.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1896.

In sudden fret over cable the Ad-
vertiser wildly inquiries for Col. Spald-
ing. As to his personal whereabouts,
the reply might be Washington, New
York. Paris or London. The first
place might as well be omitted for it
is desolate just now and will continue
unattractive till Congress convenes
again. Taking up Col Spalding and
his Hawaiian cable project, it may be
ventured by The Star that the gentle
man is leaving nothing undone that
would contribute in any degree to the
success of cherished plans. Few men
have undertaken an enterprise of such
magnitude. Few men with a business
of any sort in hand have faced the
tremendous opposition and the noun
famous obstacles that have confronted
Col Spalding. But, equipped with
''an arm as strong and a purse as long
as the men he has to grapple with"
reliance may be expressed in the ulti-
mate success, in one way or another,
of Col. Spalding's determination to
provide Hawaii with cable. He is
not the man who surrenders or who
becomes discouraged or inactive.

DILEMMAS.

Very quietly in all countries from
time immemorial economic forces
have led up to the flame test. Indus
trial discomfort brews the frenzy
which eliminates in gigantic tragedy
or astonishing transformation. The
fuse connecting to the explosion has
oft times been stamped out and
thrown away and the disaster avoided.
But it has been too frequently that the
master minds have been Indifferent
and have permitted drifting. Now
shall Hawaii drift or will there be an
awakening and an undivided and
supreme effort to gain to the country
that assurance of security and serenity
pledged in the constitutional declara-
ton for "closer political union with
the United States. II is too late bv
many months TO waste time i'm the
discussion of minor points, in senti-
mental debate or quibbling. Independ-
ent Statehood in Hawaii means no one
can say just what. Annexation holds
most conservative among the doubt
ers. There are those conscientiously
for a return to monarchy, but it is
sufficient under that head TO remind
that the good old times never repeat
any more than does youth itself.
There are those who prize the Repub-
lie. 1t is very dear to many and has
peculiar inherent strength. It might
be maintained indefinitely. 1t is the
fixed purpose of its sponsors to main
tain it until "closer political union
with the United States is achieved
as a reality. The one great danger is
the threat of the flood from Asia. the
clouds and freshets of which are al
ready upon the land. They have eN-
tended beyond this region and reached
over to the western coast of America
