Officials of the treasury department
believe that the year 1898 has closed
with a record of the largest balance of
trade ever reached in favor of the Unit
ed States. The records SO far complet-
ed show that the exports during the
year will reach value of 81 $50, ,000, 600,
while the imports are not likely to ex-
ceed $64O, ,000,0 600. Only twice in our
history have the exports during a cal
endar year passed the billion-dollar
line, while the imports will be less than
that of any year since 1885, and fully
500, 900, 900 less than that of the year
1897. Exports during the month of NO
vember were valued at 1929, 1888 SIP, the
largest in any month in the history of
our commerce Our imports during the
month were valued at $50 JOG, $50,
slightly less than those of November,
1897, and less, with three exceptions,
than those of any November since 1885.
With the largest exports of merchan-
disc in our history and the smallest
imports in many years come the largest
importation of gold in any calendar
year. The gold imports for the eleven
months ending with November reached
n total of s149 ,396,37O, while no full
calendar year save 1896 ever reached
the hundred million-dollar line.
Leaders of society in Philadelphia

equally true that late hours seldom
conduce to wealth or wisdom.

BRECKENRIDGE AGAINST OWENS.

Lexington Herald, December a.
OF course. The Herald will not sup
port Hon. W. C. Owens for Congress;
and this was known before his nomina-
ton. When We were called upon to
know whether The Herald would sup
port Mr.. Owens, we frankly answered
that the manager of The Herald only
could answer that question; that he
alone controlled The Herald; but that
we would not support him-not because
of his opposition in the former contest,
nor for any utterance made by him in
that contest-but because of the means
used by him and with his knowledge
by which both his nomination and cleo
ton were secured. We have not united
with the Brown Democracy, we are not
Republican. have not Joined the Hon
est Election League, and have not par
ticipated il the conventions which
made this nomination; and have re-
manned free TO take such course as
seemed best after action was taken.
Our judgment was that the nomination
of a Republican was The most expedient
Tbs leaders of both the Republican
and Brown parties disagreed with this
judgment, and their action is now sub
mitted to the voters of the district
The very foolish and extreme action
of the Frankfort convention ought to
defeat Mr.. Gayle. We cannot under
stand how sensible and up right gentle
men-like Mr.. Rogers Clay and Capt.
John II. Carter could bring themselves
to sign the resolutions reported by the
committee of which they were men,
bers, nor how such a man as Col. Allen
could under any circumstances consent
to accept a nomination upon such a
platform. And the nomination by the
Brown Democrats and Republicans OF
an objectionable candidate, upon whom
all elements of opposition would unite,
might have been followed by the defeat
of Mr.. Gayle, which the nomination
Of Mr.. Owens makes certain.
lie who writes this has no attack to
make upon Mr.. Owens; he makes 10
crilism upon the action of the two con-
ventions which naminated him. He
simply announces that he cannot ac-
cept that nomination as in the interest
OF pure party government or honest
elections; not can he ask his friends to
support it. w. G. 2. BRECKINRIDGE.

RELIGIOUS.

Rev Kyle baptised fourteen persons
in J. NJ. hendren's pond, as a result of
two weeks preaching by Elder Wills.
Rev It. S. Hubert, lately of Rich
mond, is winning golden opinions at
Lawrenceburg, is shown by the Ander-
son News: "There will be preaching
at the Baptist church tomorrow morn
ing at IL O'clock by the Rev. I. 5 HUI
bert, pastor of the Methodist church.
Mr.. Hubert came here a few weeks ago
an entire stranger to our people but he
is rapidly growing IN favor, and he
will, doubtless, have good hearing.
Both by his eloquent and impressive
sermons and the elegant lecture which
be delivered here short time ago, he
is acquiring a reputation as an orator.
There will be no other preaching in
town tomorrow, all congregations
uniting in one Thanksgiving service"
The Union Thanksgiving service al
the First Presbyterian church last
Thursday was very largely attended.
Rev. H. q. Turner, of the Methodist
church, preached an unusually strong
sermon which was the subject of much
complimentary comment and hearty
indorsement by many who heard it.
The singing was by choir composed
of Mrs w. S. Oldham, Mrs. J V.
Logan, Mr.. J. V. Logan and Mr.. d
Flora. Tie latter and Mrs. Oldham
sang solos, Mr.. Flora singing in his old
time good voice, when as a "Kentucky
Colonel he charmed audiences with
his superb bass at Chautauquas
throughout the South and West. Mrs.
Oldham's voice seemed never SO sweet,
and those who know her best and love
her most, are never more pleased than
when she sings, as she always does,
with her voice, her heart. her soul

1t WAS a misfortune to the Wings, says

Rich mineral deposits Of Madison.
by Hon. G. L. searcY.l

Below is the paper prepared by Hon.
G. l.. Searcy, by request OF the COm-
missioner of Agriculture of the State,
upon the mineral resources of Madison
county. 1t is worth reading and pre-
serving, for it is valuable contribution
to the county's statistical literature to
which none is better able to contribute
than the distinguished citizen of Waco:
"While there are no present indica-
lions os finding any of the precious
metals in the county, there is certainly
an immense deposit Of very valuable
product if developed.
Excellent building stone in numer-
GUS places in large quantities. Near
Clay's Ferry owing TO the excellent
quality it is locally termed Kentucky
Marble. On Drowning creek there is a
large deposit of fire-proof building stone
that has been extensively used for
years throughout the county, and
stands the hottest fire without crumb-
ling. Coal is found near Big Hill but
not sufficient shipping facilities to mine
probably. In the eastern portion of
the county, near Waco, there is an in
exhaustible deposit of valuable CLAWS.
very rich in aluminium, and an i'm
mense deposit of white sand. The
white clay or KaOlin is onlo two or
three feet under the surface and veins
are from two to seven feet thick. 1t has
been repeatedly tested by experts and
manufacturers, and received medals for
excellehcy from U. 5. Government. If
developed it will make queensware and
works of art, while from the other val
liable clays pottery and good brick, and
innumerable articles of profit can be
made. There is large local demand
from builders for the sand. 1t has the
the reputation of being sharp and clear
of dirt. Will make good glass and
could he used extensively in the cities
by concrete manufactures. Autograph
ers and hundreds of other industries.
Salt was manufactured in this part of
the country at an early date. Every
indications shows there is oil and gas
in this section. Oil runs out of the
ground in hundreds of places, the sur
face rock is full of black oil andtlooks
like asphalt rock. A local company
struck black oil, in sinking wells, from
20 to 35 feet in a number of places. The
black oil is a natural printers ink of the
best quality-just rs il comes from the
ground. Considerable gas escaped from
broken down we'll for several weeks
until drowned out by water.
There are number of excellent min
eral springs in the county. All the
sulphur springs on Muddy Creek, tons
of sulphate ofiron, or ''fools gold" is inn
bedded in the rocks on the surface. On
ly the presence of capital and grit is
needed to convert these silent vaults Of
nature into beehives of industry giving
employment to idle capital and still
more idle labor.
