THE THINKERS.
THa FARMBR IN POLITICS.

Members OF the grange, and all farm
eFs, should turn out to the csucuees OF
their respective parties and zee to it
that none but good men, with rigid
bsckbones, r either no minated for
local Ulcers or sent as delegates to con
ventions TO construct platforms and
nominate candidates for the higher
Offices. Too frequently the same little
couerie of plant delegates are sent year
in and ouS to represent the township
in the county convention. These are
manipula aed by the loaf-and-6s fish mem
bers of the party, aud state and ma
tiOnal conventions are run on the same
system. So it comes TO pass that this
is not a government by the people at
all, bus rather a government OF the
people, by the party bosses. for who
ever will advance said bosses interes g
the most.
The average farmer considered his
whole duty doae when he goes to the
polls on election day and votes q
yht party ticket. And If his par
ticular party wins. he chimes his elated
crow in along with those Of the bos 1893
who have manipulated him, just as if
it mean a victory for him toe. Tae
truth of the matter is that the wRy
politics has ben conducted for q good
many years-it doesn'E matter which
party wins-there is little cause for re-
joiclng by the farmer, for the wealthy
corporation, the stock gamblers and
the liquor interests r the power be-
hind the throne. Whichever party
they think they can use to the best ad-
vantage for the time being is the mi
that will win.
The late Jay Gould, when before a
G 0ngre esional investigating committee,
testified that when out along his rail
road lin republican countit 8 he was a
republican, and in democratic counties
q democrat, but wherever be was, he
was always az Erie railroad man"
The saying that every man has bis
price," is all bosh. There are good,
honest, reliable men in all parties, and
as farmers are the largest single class
Of voters, and the ones most neglected
and deeced by legislation, they should
see to it that these best men r
brought to the front for Cmce. regard
less of party, and the self-made candi-
dates, the ward heelers, blu miners,
party bosses, nose counters and steer
ing committees are retired to the rear
and to permanent oblivion.-K 8. B

RACE HATRED.

It is not right, nor is it wise, to en-
gender race hatred. Il is a sin before
the God who created the races. It is a
menance to the Commonwealth. con-
stituted of races. M )si OF the OF
the past have been conceived in rae =
hatred, and nations not a few have
passed into the night of history because
men OF one race could not live at peace
with men of another But the larger
reason is the q 81 given-that it is q
Gin before Ct ID to hate or despise a maj

therefore, with as much gentIeness a.
possible, to plead here and now that
the political leaders will go into the
coming campaign with right hearts

leaders, especially politicians, who de-

to visit the punishment they deserve

plead that, no matter what the readers
views may be upon the amend ment
to be voted upon, he will not let
political papers with wild words and
daring headlines, or hair Drained
stump-speakers hungry for omce,
carry him into hatred OF the negro
Much might be pleaded in the

IN RsrRR CAROLINA.


A NORTH CAROLINA GOLD NINE.
Some years ago, go says the story
teller, q wild turkey hunter listening
for turkeys one morning when the sun
rose, found come shining particles o.
rock on the south east side OF Mills
River, Forge Mountain. This proved
to be gold and was the beginning OF
the interest which led to the establish
ment of the BoS ston gold mine, which
was worked several years in the COS.
The mining company became in
volved in some way and work at the
mine was discontinued.
B 3cently, through some changes In
ownership this mine has been re-
opened; a shaft 1000 feet long is being
opened up belo p the site Of the old
works, while the strike Of the gold
bearing outcrop is being opentd for
nearly one mile above.
At one point in the reopened ditch
the old decayed timbers OF the shaft
of the first wOAks a be s9en. At this
point a shaft is said to have been To-
Gated and tunnels radiated therefrOm.
The mine fell into the hands OF some
Hsndersonville gentlemen who So
cured the CO operati n of The Canada
Southern Company, which company ls
nos opening the works and plIlng up
ore in anticipation Of the erection OF a
thirty. stump mill. There are several
hundred ions of ore now piled up
waiting on the machinery, ten a
loads of which are expected 5000.
Oar visit was made to this mine in the
latter part Of March. The tunnel was
then perhaps $50 feet long.
The Canada southern Company sold
the mine to another, but no payment
having been made the sale was de-
clared eff and a bona 1de sale has been
made to the Ball Hanscom Mine Com
pany which will shortly take posses
sion.
It is freely expressed by some of the
native psople thst this mine will pay
for working it in gold or in a specula
tive.
IRON AND LIME ROCK
exists in this nslghborhood too. Years
ago these deposits were worked for
the fine iron which was turned out,
but the iron beds have been for a long
time deserted, and the lime rock is
used only in a small way for building
and agricultural purposes. A pecu
liarity Of one OF these deposits is that il
burns out Of a blush cast, hence can
not be used for finishing in building.
We are indebted to Mr.. Wilson Al
len for the infor nation about the iron
mined here. and for many al interest
ing anecdote OF early and late times.
Mr.. Aliens knowledge Of the iron
comes fro n a twenty seven yearsexpe
rience as a working blacksmith and
over eighty-one years. residence in
this locality. Mr.. Allen looks after
his farm at Horseshoe and occasionally
forgets his age and allows his zeal to
overcome his Judgment in yer work.
