From the Providence Visitor.l
THE EVENING TRIBUNE has passed into
the possession of Messrs. Gill q Lee who
have introduced changes and increased
the staff to maintain the efficiency of the
paper. During the campaign the TRIBUNE
was pronounced single standard organ,
and its editorial opinions were of char
acter to stamp it as one of the most Wig
orous political papers of the State. The
new proprietors of the TRIBUNE have
swung it round to be more I'm harmony
with the Democratic ideas OF the present
time.
From the Gazette and Chronicle.
THE EVENING TRIBUNE was recently
purchased by Messrs. Isaac Gill and Hugh
j. Lee, and it appeared under its new

Some IS Natalians formed syndi-
cate to exploit" this country on their
own account. Some were storekeep-
ers In the colony, some wagon traders
and some merely walters on fortune.
Only II of them had any money, and
they supplied the wherewithal for the
other four, who were sent up to PROS
pect and dig. After six months of
fruitless toll the money was all gone.
and word was sent to the four that
no more aid could be sent to them.
They were down on their luck" when.
as they returned to camp on what was
intended to be their last evening there
one Edwin Bray savagely dug his pick
into the rock as they walked gloomily
along. But with the one swing he
made came turn in the fortunes of
the band and of the land, for he
Knocked off bit of quartz SO richly
velned with gold as to betoken the ex-
lstence of something superexcellent in
the way of reef" All now turned ON
the rock with passionate eagerness, and
in very short time pegged out what
was destined to be known as "Bray's
golden hole"
But tha syndicate was by this time
pretty well cleaned out and capitai
vas needed to work the reef and pro-
'lde machinery, etc. So small COM
'any was formed in Natal under the
lame of the Sheba Reef Gold Mining
company, divided into $4,000 shares of
ne pound each, the capital of e15.Ooo
elng equitably allotted among the Is
1embers of the syndicate. Upon these
hares they raised enough money ON
oan to pay for the crushing of 200 tons
I quartz, which yielded eight ounces
| gold to the ton and at once pro-
ded them with working capital. With
a very few months the mine welded
LOCO ounces of gold, and the original
lares of one pound each ran up bv
APPS and bounds until they were eager
competed for at 6 100 each. Within
year the small share-capital e15,O00l
the original syndicate was worth in
e market 6 100000. This wonder
success led to the floating of a num-
r OF hopeless or bogus enterprises.
q worthless properties were landed

at fabulous prices. Yet, surrounded

THE BENEFIT oFGooDRoADs.

@ Through the kindness Of Hon. G. S.
\ Mccall we have received copy Of the
Houston, Texas, Post with 4 full re-
port Of the Good Roads Convention"
Of that State, held at Galveston on the
10th and / 11th. From the discussion
reported and the various letters read,
we take it that Texas is now wide
awake on the subject Of good roads
Two years ago the fever for good roads
in South Carolina warmed UP to a
call for State convention and there
1t ended. While all admit the benefit
8to3bc derived in the wear and tear Of
Sehiclsles and saving Of horse flesh
there is no concert Of action and the
whole matter is thrown upon the shoul
ders Of The county supervisors who are
expected, without even fair co.ope.
ration on the part Of the land oW ners
to aid them, to keep up the roads.
This is all wrong and 4 remedy has
been suggested by one of our public
spirited men and All enthusiast Oh this
burning question Of Importance to the
people Of Marlboro. It is this, that a
county convention of delegates from
each township desiring better roads to
meet at Benncttsville and organize for
cooperation with the supervisor in
putting every road ia the county in
good condition. The suggestion COM
mends itself, and with such an organ>
ization complaints against the plowing
in the roads or placing obstiuctions
would cease. The supervisor would
feel he had power, with the co.opera-
tion Of the people to back him, to go
to work and give lis better roads every.
where. 1t cannot be done without
public co. operation. Talk it up and
issue the call at once.
We shall have more to say next
week.
