About a year ago John r.

OOA1CS, VI lIlS AutOl1O OiC CCfte'
pany, secured an option on the
property known as the Cuff mine
from Welcome Hyde and the
other fee.ow owners. A crew
of miners were employed fol:
several months in exploring the
property and considerable mon
ey was expended in the work
When Mr.. Jones desired to COM
ply with the condition of his
option and secure lease of the
property, Mr.. Hyde declined to
execute the same. Instead Mr..
Hyde has organized a mining
company, purchased a plant of
machinery and proposes to oper-
ate the property. This has lead
Mr.. Jones to commence suit
against Mr.. Hyde to enforce the
terms of his option, and the case
will be argued at the rext term
of the circuit ourt.-Range
Tribune.
The work of unwatering the
Michigan mine at Amasa, will
commence next week. It is
stated that the Illinois Steel Co.
has taken an option on the pro.
perty and that as soon as the
levels are freed of water an in
spection will be made by that
concern. The prospects for the
Michigan for an operative sea-
son are we'll nigh assuring. This
mine will be unwatered urder
the direction Of Superintendent
Gibson.
From letters sent by A. M.
Wiley, the Well-lznown Port Ar:
thur man, it is learned that he
fully believes THAT $4,000, 1000
worth of milling gold ore

mine at Lake Harold, between
Seine River and the Canadian
Pacific railroad. The ore runs
$50 to the ton and the owners OF
the property will shortly put in
a 40-stamp mill, The mine has
only been opened a year and has
a 5-stamp mill.
Capt. r. Florada was in the
city on Wednesday, and in res
ponse to an inquiry relative to
the Oliver for the coming season
stated that the mine would ship
as much or more ore this season
as was forwarded from the pro-
perty in 50. This means that
the property will be put in read
mess for active work at the OPEN
ing of the shipping season and
that q good force will be en-
pioyed throughout that period.
Capt. E. J. Gilbert, who is
conducting operations on 8, 53-
IS, on Petit & Robinson lands,

The Waters Subsidc.

Boston. March with the subsl-
dence of the waters, which during Sun
day night, Monday and Tuesday, over
whelmed greater part OF New Eng
land, figures Of losses sustained are
coming in. and from those received 1t
is apparent that the total damage IN
the section will be considerably more
than 81. 0O0,U00. This does not include
the wages of thousands Of laboring
men through suspension OF manufac-
turing and other industries. Six lives
have been lost. The main financial
loss is divided between the States Of
Maine. New Hamps hire and Massa-
chusetts. Maine bears about one-half.
New Hampshire has been swept from
one end to another, and heavy losses
at Manchester and Dover will bring
the total in that State closely up to a
million dollars. Massachusetts,. at
Lowell and Lawrence, and the Merrl-
mac River Valley, suffers heavily, but
$3.50. 900 will cover what she loses.

Joint Parade on.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The decis-
ion published by Gen. Walker, COM
mander of the Grand Army of the Re
public, in reference to the proposed
Joint parade in New York on July 4.
today, was called to the attention OF
Senator Gordon of Georgia, who has
been commander-in chief of the Uni
ted Confederate Veterans ever since
their organization, and he was asked
if he purposed to take action looking
to change of the date of the next an
nual meeting of the Confederates at
Richmond. June 30th and July 1st
and I'd. General Gordon replied:
This date was finally decided upon
in order to permit the Confederates
who came from further South to 60 TO
New York Immediately after the ad.
iournment and take part in the joint
parade, but see no reason for chang
ing the date of our reunion, which
was called to meet at Richmond by

federate Veterans camps and best
suited to the convenience of the peo-
pie of Richmond, who have been most
generous in making provisions for our
entertainment. It will readily seen
that no change can be contemplated
if it in. any measure incommodes our
host. the people of Richmond.
''Of course. it would now be entire
ly incompatible with our self.respect
as Confederates to take any part IN the
proposed JOINT parade do not wish,
however, to discuss the action of Gen.
Walker. It has been ny effort since
the war to cultivate the most cordial
relations between the soldiers OF the
two armies and between the people OF
the sections. I am glad to kno| that
I have had the cordial sympathy and
approval OF M old comrades in this
effort; and l wish also to add, IN this
connection, that ! have had the most

ment on the part OF the great body OF

VIII Rates go up?

4 representative OF the Columbia
State approached a prominent insar-
auce agent of that city oa the subject
of the valued policy bill which was
recently enacted into Law by the SEN
ate. This bill is OF the greatest inter
est, not only to Insurance men
throughout the State and country, but
to the people of South Carolina gen.
orally. The agent, in reply to ques'
| ton regarding the effects OF the law
in this State, said:
There seems to be a great differ
ence Of opinion among insurance men
as to the action which the companies
will fake, now that this bill has become
law. It is known, however, that sew
eral companies now represented in
| South Carolina have notified their
agents in this State that they must re-
fuse to continue operations in this ter
ritory under the new Law. There
will be meeting of Insurance men
held in Atlanta, representatives from
each company being present. These
gentlemen will discuss the law from
all standpoints and plan will be sug-
gested whereby the companies can
continue in the State without loss to
themselves. In order that this may
be done, raise in insurance rates
will be impressive and aosolutely y
necessary for self protection.
The class of people who will be
more deeply affected by the enforce
ment of the law will be those livingin
the country and smaller towns. The
companies are prejudiced against writ
ing risk in such localities, AS there is
little or no profit resulting therefrom,
and the new law makes 1t practlcally y
imposs !ble for them TO secure protect
ion from fire in what consider re-
sponslble companies will, if the rates
are increased, received an extra
amount in premiums on SO polices
written to pay the loss on the huu-
dredth one, if it is reasonable aumnnt.
ITO snow that it is almost imposSl-
bic to defeat the insurance companies,
feel quite safe in saying that in case
of FIRE, their agents or adJusters eau
inspect the property and if a chl
is LETT standing, they can term

paid to him in this township, Of which
not one cent. was turned over to the
county.
The sheriff certainly ought to have
known that Bussey was not making a
proper settlement and should have re-
fused to accept his returns without in
vestigating the matter. We have
given thorough investigation of this
township and from it you can judge
Of the balance of the county.
December 5, 1893, the county com
missioners approved claim IN favor
of J. G. kinard for $40 for four
shovels. The claim was entered on
the book $34. February 20, 1894, a
check was given to J c. Kinard for
$34. We called Mr. kindard's atten-
ton to this matter during last summer,
and hoped that he would return the
money, but ne has failed to do so. We
recommend. that suit be brought
against Mr.. kinard for the money and
in case it can not be made out OF him
that suit be bought against the county
commissioners.
In our August report we called the
attention of the treasurer to seven
school certificates. amounting to $50,
which were forgeries. The present
treasurer never having been served
with such an order, has paid $50 to
the Farmers Bank for these forged
certificates, takingan indemnity bond
from the said bank. We recommend
that suit be entered at once against
the Farmers Bank for the recovery Of
this money.
Since our investigation commenced,
last July, we have found errors, ire:

ing $4,000; on this would be 500 to
500 dwelling houses for operatives on
as many distinct lots of say 100 by 300
feet. From past experiences with us
in twelve to fifteen years these town
lands would be worth as much more
than the cost of the plant, If indeed,
the lands were not worth t1e cost Of
the entire development and annual in
terest on the same added.
Think of purchasing land at S2 to
$40 per acre and building thereon
even a small Fall River or Lowell,
and while pocketing substantial an
nual profit, in the course Of a few
years owing to a townsite worth ia it
self more than the cost Of the whole.
Large manufacturing centres In
New England are generally surround
ed by the usual occurrence in that
clime-rocky, barren lands, and few, if
any cases. can be pointed out where
exceeding 10 to Is per cent. OF the sur,
rounding lands are arabic. Not so at
the South as few locations can be met
with where less than IS to 80 per cent.
of the surrounding lands are not only
arabic, but capable, with small outlay
for Improvements, OF being brought
up to high state Of cultivation and
production.
Food products, and especially in
the truck time, in New England must
be transported a great distance to the
consumers in factory towns, while at
the South all supplies needed can be
carted from the neighboring farms.
To reach the New England operatives,
to the cost of carting from the farm
must be added railroad freights to the
point of consumption. Taking les
sons from the past, the people who
tlild factories in future in the South
had first best as an investment pur-
chase literally of the surrounding
lands, and in! the end be benefited
by their own development.
