THE METHODIST MEETING
Conducted by Rev. Price, an Able and
Consecrated Divine Has Much of
the Humor Of His Uncle. Governor
Vance.

A revival meeting was commenced at
the Methodist church last Sunday and
VIII probably continue through next
week. Services are held both morning
and night and it is very evident that
the Word, as delivered by that able
divine, Rev. Vance Price, of Tennes-
see, is having it's effect. There are
good congregations at nearly every
service. Mr.. Price is one of the most
consecrated men we have ever heard,
yet, like his illustrious uncle. Z. B.
Vance, little humor is seen through
all his discourses, which he uses to
good purpose.
In speaking to the Morganton chris
tians last night Mr.. Price said: Il
flnd you to be clever and intelligent,
with high sense of morality; but if
you have the spirit of God in you, you
have a poor way of showing it,
Again he said: Il have for wife
one of the best women in the world. If
it should be Gods will to take her to
himself and leave me to select another,
and I should retain my good looks
and he is anything else but handsome
l would select a christian and a do

BURKE SUPERIOR COURT.
The Fall Term is Now in Session
Judge Bowman Presiding.

The Fall term of Burke Superior
Court convened on Monday, Judge
Bowman, of Bakersville, presiding.
That Judge Bowman presides with
ability and administers the law inn
partially goes without saying, as he
is we'll known to be a man of that kind
of makeup.
The first two days of the term were
taken up with the trial of criminal
cases on appeal from the Criminal
Court, Solicitor Harshaw looking after
the States interest. The case against
Jim Avery, COL, occupied the greater
part of the two days. Avery was
found guilty and sentenced to six
months in Jail. Several minor cases
were disposed of.
The civil docket was taken up on
Wednesday. We will endeavor to give
the proceedings of the civil court in
our next issue.
The following visiting lawyers have
been here this week: F. II. Busbee.
Raleigh; Judge J. G. Bynum. Green's
boro: w. A. Self. E. B. Cline, Hick-

A Runaway.

Mr.. Lenoir Berry was returning
from town to his home in Linville on
Tuesday, He left his team standing
in the road near Linville Store while
he went to a house to warm. In the
meantime his horses took fright and
ran away. They ran about two miles
and pieces of the wagon were scattered
all along the road. The horses stopped
at the ford of Linville river just above
the Dickson place with only the tongue
and fore-axle of the wagon hitched to
them. The runaway no doubt caused
quite a little loss to Mr.. Berry.

merit that selling but it is impossible;
we are so busy that we haven't time to quote
prices in a spread-eage way and tell the peo-

We are here for business and we want

tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, if
no higher motive prompted us.
We have got the stock of all stocks in this

cover nearly everything sold in the town.
Our only object in writing each week is to
let the people know that are still in busi-

them to think that we had done busted; but
are here yet, and bigger than ever before.

its possibilities. Mr.. Schrader grew much
more enthusiastic than he showed him
self to be over the recently discovered
Koyukuk region. He estimates roughly
that there are seven or eight thousand
square miles of gold bearing territory In
the Nome region
II should advise man with small cap
ital. who is intent upon Alaska, to try the
Nome gold fields,'' said he. They are
essentially the poor mans country. For
forty miles the sands Of Bering sea
show gold, while the extent of the auri-
ferrous soil inland cannot be estimated.
When / left there everybody was making
big money.
"They are expecting anywhere from
twenty-five to fifty thousand miners in
the Nome region with the coming of
spring. The danger to life even in such
a rush as this will be less than If a far
smaller number attempted to make the
Koyukuk country. OF course there Is a
novelty and fascination about new gold
land such as that of the Koyukuk There
will be many miners in there In the spring
from the Klondike region and before a
twelvemonth has passed we will know
whether the ambitious claims of the Koy-
ukuk miners that they have made the
bonanza strike of Alaska will be borne
out in the product of yellow metal. While
/ shall make no predictions, sincerely
hope that they will prove good prophets"

are warranted in this am not able to say.
1t Is certain that they have discovered a
country of very considerable area and
of great richness, but so far as l was able
to see, they have only scratched it as yet,
and its possibilities as great gold mining
region remain to be told of in the future.

watch and observe personally the results
obtained by the only party that had gotten
into anything like working order. This
party consisted of number of Swedes
from Chicago and other portions of the
states, and was known as the Elsingon
party. They had erected a sluice on Slate
creek and were averaging each day from
$50 to $50 per man from the gold cleaned up
in this way. 1 left the Koyukuk region
on the Goth of August. During the two
weeks prior to that time the party had
taken out $4,000. Some of the other miners
were obtaining really remarkable results
from panning but almost the entire force
of the camp was either engaged In build
ing sluices or in preparing for winter.
1.-The gold In the Slate and Myrtle creek

and canyons but little exploration has

available claims now in sight are taken

of the surrounding country. Just now 1
do not see where any more men can be ac-
