There is plenty of gold in the Can oil;
mas, Georgia--and Alabama. though the
ore is mostly of very low grade, so low,
in fact, that there was no profit in.

ployed for extracting the metal. BY the

the business can he carried on very profit
ABLY. ~ good many people who have
sunk money in mining investments in
the South are very sore over their eXper-
fence, and do not believe that there is any
possibility of profitable mining in that

situation and practical knowledge, am
convinced that in the next ten years we

TYLER THE MAN.

1t Is now certain that Major !. Hoge
Tyler will be the nominee for Governor
by the Democratic State convention
which meets here in August, either by
reclamation or on the first ballot. His
canvass has been Il successful one from
the beginning, thereby discounting the
calculations OF mere politicians,
who sup posed, because Mr..
Eliyson was mt the head OF the
Democratic State committee that he
would be formidable rival to any man
aspiring to the gubernatorial nomina
ton. The fight, however, has been
squarely on the financial issue. and it
was Major Tyler's record on the question
OF the free coinage of silver, more than
any peculiar fitness on his spart for the
Office for governor, that insured his nom
ination as opposed to MIR. Ellyson, his
chief opponent before the people.
The last named gentleman has been
badly handicapped by .his record in favor
OF gold monometallism,. and the fact that
the Democratic voters of the State re-
fused to accept his remuneration of this
principle is II strong evidence of their de-
termination to take no chances in this
Important matter. Mr.. Ellyson's per-
sonal character warrants the belief that
he would, if nominal for Governor,
abide by the Chicago platform, but when
man with an unassailable record for
silver coinage was his opponent there
was no hesitation on the pnrt..of the peo-
pie as to their choice, and the result is
that MAJOR Tyler is already as good as
nominated for the highest Office in the
State. al
Now that the question as to the guber.
Material nomination has been settled, the
Democrats, if they are wise, will give
the nomination for Lieutenant Governor
to the Peoples party, and in that con-
nection the claims OF Major Richard
Gaines, OF Charlotte are deserving of
their serious consideration. He has
already been endorsed by the Democrats
of that county and is in every respect
well qualified TOR the position.
The Populist vote of the State is an i'm
portant matter mt this time, and, IL it is
secured to the Democracy, no combina.
lions of the Republicans can defeat the
ticket next fall. The support of the Pop
ul'sts last year added greatly to the vate
for Bryan, and any reasonable concession
should be made to them in this State this
year In order to insure the succ ess of
Democratic principles.

WILL HAVE A TICK EFT

Ex-Congressman w. +. Gaines, of Vir-
ginia, said at Chamberin's: ~ note Mr.
Hugh b. Miller, of Norfolk, who was the
Prohibition candidate or--city attorney
last year and was beaten by handsome
majority, and who opposed the regular
Republican nominee for Congress in the
Second Virginia district last fall, informs
your reporter that he does not think there
will be Republican ticket in the field
this fall. Mr.. Miller is mistaken. The
Republican voters Of Virginia intend to
have convention and ticket, and
Messrs. Bowdin and Waddill.if disposed,
cannot keep them from it" Washing

THE PROPOSED SCHOOL PURCHASE

We publish elsewhere the objections of
ga Pupil" tc the proposed purchase of
the Smith building on Salem avenue by
the city for school purposes. because
The Times always desires both sides of
every important question to have hear
ing.-The objections raised by ga Pupil"
however, when the real facts in the case
are considered, are, it seems to us, en-
tirely outweighed by the advantages--o of
the purchase. In the first place, the
price to be paid (S10,00U), is not over one
third of what the b-ilding and ground
originally cost, which is al important
matter to be considered in these times of
business depression and, then again. so
far as Earnest avenue and the nearest
bar-room is concerned, both of these are
too far away to be entered as an objec-
tion to the purchase of the building
The pupils to be taught there will be kept
closely confined to their studies, and
after they are dismissed would be no
more likely 20 go to bar-room than
from any other school in the city. Be-
sides at a little cost the building could
he admirably fitted up for school pur-
poses, while in the matter of accessibility
it could not be surpassed by any similar
institution in the-city. Again, so far AS
grounds for play and recreation of the
pupils are concerned, those who attend
the high school will be OF such an age
that these facilities will not be impera-
lively demanded. They will do much of
their studying at their homes, and when
school hours are over will be too glad to
get back to loaf in the vicinity of the
building. The fact that the upper part
Of he building has been used for the past
two years or more for school purposes,
without any complaint on the part of the
patrons, teachers or pupils,is also strong
evidence in favor of the purchase, which
is demanded both from the standpoint of
economy and convenience.
