A Million Dollar Gold Mine
Concern.
The State, 14th inst.

The secretary of state vester-
day morning Issued II commission
to concern which seems to he a
pioneer in the matter of the devel-
upment of the south. 1t Is To he
known as the Palmetto Gold Min
ing company and is to have cap
ital stock Of $1,000, 900. The
headquarters of the COMPANY are
to he SPnrtanburg, and it is the
purpose to mine, gold. silver,
copper, etc.
The c0rpurators are l. E. Cannon
OF Spartan burg, and Henry Kurtz
and Lucius & Emhree of Prince-
ton, Indiana.
This company i, to develop and
operate the West Springs gold
mine near West Springs in the
northwestern corner of Union
county, about four miles from
Glenn Springs, in Spartsnburg
county.
Mr.. kurtz came down himself
to secure the commission. He
is n practical miner and talked
most interestingly of the purposes
of his company. He SAYS that
already two shafts have been sun,
ken, each thus far haviog reached
$50 feet. They are to 90 sew
eral hundred feet deeper At
present alb ut 80 PEOPLE are being
employed and 20 stamp mill is
being operated He says they
have seven parallel veins in n
strip Of land about 600 feet wide,
the veins being about 50 feet
apart. 1t is believed that they
will widen the deeper the shafts
60. He says they propose to fit
the plant with automatic machin-
cry for handling the quartz, and
it Is now costing about 81. 80 n
ton to get out the stuff, which
nets an average of SIS per ton.

We note that the Gaffney Led
ger has decided to increase its
subscription price from S1.OO to
$50 per year. The Ledger is
one of the best semi weekly
papers published in the State, and,
as we have often said before, a
paper that is worth anything at
all Is worth a great deal more
than 81. 90 year. Tho Ledger,
for instance, sends out 1O4 issues
during the year, and at the for,
mer subscription price the value
of each issue would be loss than
one cent. Since the increase in
price of paper, what little profit
there has been in the publication
of weekly and semi. weekly papers
is greatly reduced, and we think
1T would be wise move on the
part Of other contemporaries
similarly situated to follaw the
example of the Gaffney Ledger.
Their subscribers should be will
ing to pay what the papers are
worth. The State.

ialtn III bryan. here Is AN edl-
torial from its columns:
"Of course it is nothing to us
that MIR. Bryan's followers in
Charleston do not contribute gen.
erously to the campaign fund, so
sorel y needed to assist his election,
but we cannot help feeling rat er
ashamed for them that they have
been able to raise but IS toward
what they profess to consider a
holy use. This muniicent
amount is contributed by two
men. Now, we have personal
acquaintance with three Bryanites
IN Charleston and have suspicious
of two more. The three parti-
sans are not only Outspoken but
voclferous in their support of tho
free silver candidate. They pro-
fess to believe that the defeat of
the Nenraskan will not only mark
the end OF Republican institutions
in the United States, but will de-
stroy the individual liberty of
every citizen Of the republic,
particularly their own, of course.
Now, what are they doing to avert
the pending calamity Talking
with all their might, just as their
leader is doing, but to smaller
audiences, consisting chiefly of
themselves. 1t seems to us, from
an anti-Bryan view point, that
were we persuaded our personal
liberty was threatened we should
make some other than vocal ex.
ertlon to escape the clanking
chains, but the Bryanites seem to
figure other wise. If we felt "a

money as we could to give to tho
cause, just as We might pay =

ence to going to prison. OF course
we do not expect the Bryanites to
be as free with their silver rs thew
want the government to be with
everybody's, but they might chip
In fifty cont piece or so. At
least they should raise the con-
trlbution from Charleston to an

ton can, with slight changes, be
truthfulIy said of practically every
other county in South Carolina. As
the Democrats of this state are
not stingy, the unanimous indiffer-
ence to the call for funds to help
elect Bryan must he attributed to
an apathy caused by feeling of
indifference to his chances of
success. South Carolina will vote
for him because he is the Dem
ocratic nominee, and it looks as if
that is about all South Carolina will
do for him. Indeed, The Record
has been informed that a number
or people approached for con,
tributiOns to the Bryan fund have
said they would vote for Bryan,
but were not enough interested in
the result to spend any money
