cast by tho Democracy on tho 3Oth of
August last and to DECLARE tho result.
The committee have completed thoir
duties and adjourned. Tho result rs
declared is that no ono has boon nomi-
mated for GovernoS and w. II. Ellerbe
and @. G.. Featherstone must run tho race
ogcr on tho 18th instant. .'}E,.
Tho issue this time is clear-cut and
positive, Governor Ellerbe advocating
and Mr. Featherstone opposing the dis
pensary systom. Those who favor the
dispensary' will vote for Ellcrbo and
those opposing it will vote for Feather
stone. There arc many voters in tho
upper tier of counties Of the State who
are bitterly opposed to tho State whis-
koy machine, and will, therefore, .yoto
for Mr., Feathcrstona.
1t is now just as it should bc-a square
issuo-and tho people will decide the
question of whiskey. However this
election may go, tho opposition to the
sale of whiskoy as beverage will not

MICA MINES OF INDIA.
The Methods of Hundreds of Yeas
Ago stu In Use.

The Methods of Hundreds of Years
Ago sim In Use.
The mica mines Of India are in the
interior Of the country and very inaooess-
ible. The Abruker mine, 1t is stated,
produces the finest mica that has ever
been mined, both for lamination and
color. ID has been sunk about 400 feet,
following the pitch Of the vein, and all
this mica and refuse have been raised
and carried away by the natives. No
machinery Of any kind except drill and
hammers is used In their mining opera
lions.
The refuse snd the mica are placed
in baskets each holding ten pounds, the
baskets being passed up from hand to
hand by women, who stand in line on
ladders. The contents Of the baskets are
deposited at the top, and the baskets are
returned down the ladder in the same
manner as they went up, but by anoth-
er line of women. Water is taken out
Of the mines by means Of jugs. 1t is
supposed that this method of operation
has been carried on for many hundreds
VI years, SAOopb tuaL luoIo 10 hOLS OoL0
to protect the miners
After the crude mica is taken from
the mines it is first roughly trimmed
and then sorted into different grades
according to sizes and quality. 1t is
then taken to the mica workers, who
split it up and scribe out the size for it
to be cut into by the shearers, the cut
pieces then being cleaned, weighed and
packed ready for shipment, The mica
is then transported to general ware
houses in baskets on the backs of bull
locks and in bullock carts. In this way
it is carried hundreds of miles to ship
ping points at a speed of about ten
miles day.
The mica can be split down to .0003
Of an inch in thickness. Being both
fireproof and transparent, it is very USE
full for many purposes in the arts, be-
sides being an excellent lnsulator.-

sailors Warned by Them of n Conn
ing storm.
While a British brig was gliding
smoothly along before good breeze in
the south Pacific flock of small birds
about the size, shape and color of par.
rakeets settled down in the rigging and
passed an hour or more of resting. The
second mate was so anxious to find out
the species to which the visiting stIan.
gers belonged that he tried to entrap a
specimen, but the birds were too shy to
be thus caught and too spry to be seized
by the quick hands OF the sailors. At
the end of about an hour the birds took
the briggs course and disappeared, but
toward nightfall they came back and
passed the night in the maintop.
The next morning the birds few off
again, and when they returned at noon
the sailors scattered some food about
the decks. By this time the birds had
become so tame that they hoped about
the decks, picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing happen
cd. The flock came flying swiftly to.
ward the brig. Every bird seemed to be
piping as il pursued by some little in
visible enemy on wings, and they at
once huddled down behind the deck
house. The superstitious sailors at once
called the captain of the brig, who rub
bed his eyes and looked at the barome-
ter A glance showed that something
was wrong with the elements, and the
brig was put in sLApe to outride a
storm.
The storm came about 90 minutes
after the birds had reached the vessel,
For few minutes the sky was like the
waterless bottom of lake-a vast arch
of yellowish midland torrents of rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard no
one knows, but on reaching port two
days later the captain learned that a
great tornado had swept across that part
of the sea. The birds left the vessel on
the morning after the storm and were
not seen again.-Maryland Bulletin.

THE PHILIPPINES

cause Spain Wants Them.

The refusal of the Spanish Govern
ment to concede the demands of the
United States Commissioners for the
cession---or the purchase--of the Phil.
ippines will unquestionahly strength.
en- the hands of the imperialists here
at home. Such is the perversity of
human nature, when we are told we
cannot have thing we do not want,
we at once begin to think that per
haps we do want 1t, alter all. The
very fact that Spain refuses to give
up the Philippines will tend to in
spire wish to get them.
1t would be very unfortunate, how
ever, If sentiment OF this kind were
to prevail against the sober, patriotic
sense of the American people, which
is clearly opposed to the mad policy
OF "expansion" to which this Admin
istration has committed itself, and we
do not believe that even the refusal OF
Spain will carry the American people
off their feet. The Philippines are no
more desirable for US because Spain
declines to part with them. The
principles OF constitutional govern
ment on which this republic is found
ed are no less precious because of this
disagreement among the Commission
ers at Paris.
In fact, the opportunity is now
offered for the Administration to
withdraw demand which the Amer
lean people do not heartily sustain,
and to end this perious venture in
imperialism. The United States can
honorably and consistently recede
| from the false position in which the
President has placed this country,
Mr.. Mckinley ought to have the
moral courage, as well as the patri-
otto sense to do it Boston Post.
