GRANVILLE COPPER BELT.
Recent Development of the Mines in NOrtl
Carolina

There has recently been considerable
development in copper mining in the
northeastern part of this State-in what
is known as the Granville copper belt
comprising the counties of Person, Gran
Vile and Halifax. In these three coun-
ties, eight mines are at work, and are
shipping out large quantities of ore which
averages nearly 80 per cent. The ores
are bormte and gray copper glance. Some
of the ores-select specimens-have as
sayed as high as 20 per cent, but the
average one shipped has reached only
about 80 per cent, which is considered
an exceedingly high grade for the entire
output of a mine Some $40 car loads OF
this material have been shipped from this
State.
Copper now commands price tina;

AouinaIdo's Address.

Aguinaldo, it should be remem- bered, is a Filipino, who understands neither English nor Spanish. He thinks and writes as Filipino in Malay dialect, and with a dash of Oriental exaggeration. The translation is on a that account little peculiar to Amer. jean, ears.
 But his sincerity need not on that account be doubted, nor need any one attempt to undervalue his influence. The struggle of the insurgents will soon be ended, and peace will come under "the glorious sovereign banner" ;" All that is needed now is sense and civil rule adapted to circumstances, and it is believed the Taft commission will supply both Between General Funston and the Taft commission we may consider the costly Philippine war as practically ended. General Chaffee will soon succeed General Macarthur, but he will not have much work to do beyond assisting the Taft commission to inaugurate the peace and the lib- critics that Aguinaldo so warmly and touchingly writes.

CRUDE OIL MAKES GOOD ROADS

Such of the inhabitants of Birmingham as were so fortunate as to live through yesterdays dust nightmare will be inter- ested in the following extract from the oil City Derrick.
 Recently an interview appeared in the the use of oil on the streets as a means of laying the dust. MT Davis said that this plan had been extensively used by the Pennsylvania Railroad on its tracks as means of laying dust and had been found to work admirably. It is also used in Los Angeles for the same purpose
 There is no question in the minds of Californians,'' says the Oil City Derrick, who have had experience with the use of crude oil for road making purposes as to it's practical value. In every instance where it has been properly applied, it has proved most decided success A correspondent of Santa Barbara paper writes as follows concerning it's use in the town of Carpinteria Take all the roads experimented on last year by Su- perintendent Deaderick and not a road pccdIHe uuSty III summer or muddy In winter, and this work was done experi- mentally, and consequently can be inn proved on very much.

In this valley, on the Casitas road. for instance, when the sandy and stony stretches of road have been so bat: even in the best of years, the application of the oil has kept the road together during the past season after three con secutive seasons of the worst road wealth CT on record, and the sudden change to the rutty. dusty, stony roadway, just be- yond the oiled portion, was almost un- endurable The question of cost is not at all serious one in localities in close proximity to the petroleum fields.

Hobson at Buffalo.

Alabama may not have large ex- hibit at thd Pan-American exposition,
 but one of her sons, Capt. Richard P Hobson, will be there, and no visitor will forget Alabama when he is pres ent for he will be one of the lions of the exposition.
 Captain Hobson will be put off at Buffalo in order that he may take charge of the exhibit of the Navy De- partment, and he is to remain until the close. of the exposition. This honor comes opportunely It comes when there is a general desire to see the hero of Santiago, and the young naval constructor will stand for his State throughout the course of the one great exposition of the opening year of the century. The truth is, Captain Hob- son Is a further instance of the fact that a hero as well as prophet is more honored abroad than at home. Few at home seem to appreciate the fact that the Greensboro lad has won in song and story a secure place, and that his heroism will be celebrated long after the statesmen and financiers of the hour are dead and forgotten.

of misdemeanor unless the drinker have license as a dram thinker about his person. He must be a licensed dram thinker, professional. so to speak. Possibly his license will be engraved on silver or alleged silver and will be worn on the breast, con cealed at times by the lapel of the coat. The shirtwaist man will have to wear his as a policeman does his star, and he will be known of all men and most women.
 Licensed dram drinkers will in the long run have their reunions or con gresses or bacchanalian festivals, and in the long run perhaps all will join the Noble Order of Buffaloes. How ever that may be, all who drink drams must have license in order to become dram drinkers. To drink becomes in other words State act, and the drinker cannot practice his art in Ar kansas without license, unless in deed he is ready to pay fine or serve term on the rock pile.
 It is now in order in some advanced state to join the Arkansas dram drinker scheme and the South Carolina dispensary system together, driving them tandem as it were, and giving the blind tiger a severe tussle for ex- istence. The State would then gather in not only license fees, but all the profits of the sale or lAe ardent. The State would reek in wealth, and the dram drinker would begin to consider this world very unkind to the thirsty and unstimulated Lists of licensed dram drinkers would be posted in all the public places, and they would soon become class by themselves.

Close Oi the CampaIun

The need of suffrage reform cannot ] be said to be an unconsidered subject Everybody knows that the basis of all rule in this State is in an unutterable condition. Everybody knows that the manipulators of the ballot against the negroes do not upon occasion hesitate to use like methods against white op- ponents. Everybody knows that much of the corruption which has become a feature of county and city govern ments and is marked characteristic of the State Legislature springs from ballot box irregularities and manipu- lation. Everybody, too, knows there is but one road out of all this, and that road is Constitutional Reform.
 When the voters know all this, it seems impossible that they will neg lect the election that occurs next Tues day. The ordinary State election is dwarfed by the event of next Tuesday. Perhaps not in a lifetime will an elee- tion occur in this State of equal mean ing and importance. Certainly not one very soon.
 The Age-Herald appeals to all voters to go to the polls on Tuesday next. Vote in favor of calling constitu- tional convention, no matter what your fears may be, because a conven- tion may lay before you a satisfactory solution of the difficult suffrage prob- lem, and at the same time it may put an end to the other evils in the public business of the State. There are no risks involved, because the instrument framed by the convention is to be sub- mitted to the people for ratification. It will be the peoples convention when it goes into effect. If it does not be- come the peoples constitution, it will not go into effect.
 Every man then should go to the polls on Tuesday next. A vote then will be vote to lift the ballot box above fraud and manipulation, and the public business above, corruption and general demoralization The pres ent condition of public affairs is lamentable, and vote on Tuesday in favor of a convention will be a vote in favor of better government all around.

Increasing Value of Timber

Tn Western New York, not far from Niagara Falls, is a district once GOV cred with white pine trees. Here and there some of these old-time grants are still standing, and Buffalo dis patch recently stated that the owners of 490 of them in a locality had sold them for $7500, or about $15 tree. These trees are expected to make 720.- 900 feet of lumber, worth at the mill Sbv 400 It will thus be seen that the buyers of the 490 trees knew what they were buying. These trees are about the last of their species in the local ity mentioned, the railroads and the papermakers as well as the sawmills having swept away natures magnifi- cent crop.
 The Age-Herald calls attention to this sale in order that its readers may begin to appreciate the yellow pine and the hardwoods of this section. What has occurred in Western New York vii, occur in this section, and the children of today will see good value in every tree. The trees in the South are accommodating value more rapidly than investments in other di- rections can well do, and the time will come when the larger trees in this section will, too. be worth fifteen dol lars apiece.

Annual Musical Festival.

The time approaches for the begin. ming of the third annual music festi val, and interest in it increases as the day comes nearer. The orchestra is to be the finest in the land; the solo. ists are carefully selected from those of high merit and rank, and the chorus is trained up to Professor Gucken. berger's standard, which is pretty high.
 The festival promises to be a very successful affair, musically and finan- cially, and nearly every seat will be taken before this week is ended. Bir- mingham does itself credit when it supports the annual festival. The more support the more talent in the future. But the approaching festival will not readily be exceeded. for the chorus full of enthusiasm, has been skillfully trained, and the Thomas or chestra Is known wherever there are lovers of music. It is much the finest orchestra in this country, if indeed it be equalled anywhere in the world.
 If good seats become scarce, let no one complain, for ample notice has been given, and all have had equal opportunity in the selection of seats. First come first served, is the rule in Birmingham's great musical event.
