SAND WORTH $500 A TON
Black Stuff In Bed of Catawba River
Rich In Gold.

Rich In Gold.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., June 17.-The gold
miners who have been operating a by.
draulio plant in the Oatawba river have
made the discovery that the black sand
in the bed of the river is rich with gold.
An assay of quantity of this sand re.
Gently made shows yield of $500 per
ton. This is an extraordinary rich yield
and If all the sand in the company s
workings hold up to it, the result will
be veritable bonanza.
Old gold miners have always claimed
that there Is gold in the sand Of the
streams in this section, and back In the
fifties the sand was worked with good
results by the primitive system of pam
ming.
j. s. Spencer, president of the Com
mercial National bank, relates that
when he was in business in the Uwharie
section as member of the firm of
Smitherman & Spencer a great proper
tion of his business was with people who
paid for their goods in gold dust, OBJ
tanned by panning the sand in the wv
harie river and its tributary streams.
The bed of that river Is as rlch now
as 1t was then, and with improved
methods of securing the gold, offers a
profitable field for the prospector.

OCALA, Fla, June 1.-THE oil excite

what led to its discovery. The follow

4t seems that near the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Vogt ia pond. Mrs. Vogt
noticed for a long time that neither
horses, dogs nor cattle would drink the
water. She called Mr.. Vogt's attention
to the fact, so one day when they were
passing by the pond he got down and
put his arm up to his elbow into the
water, and discovered an oily substance
clingtng to the same, which had the
smell of kerosene.
When the excitement of the oil
gushes at Beaumont were filing the
newspapers, Mr. and Mrs. Vogt instant.
ly thought Of the pond near them, and
an analysis Of the water followed, which
showed prevalence Of oil, and the dis.
covery gradually found its way into the
newspapers.

sault with intent to kill. On Feb. 8

at him with a revolver. Barker says he

One of the bullets fired by Barker went
through Keller's facial bone from the
right side, destroyed the sight of the
right eye, and after tearing through the
nasal bone buried itself beneath the

cBy their fruits ye shall know them"
The way to Judge of the value of any
medicine is by its cures. Apply that
test to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and it is at once lifted high above all
other put up medicines designed for
the cure of womanly diseases. Chronic
forms of disease which local physicians
have failed to cure, and which have
yielded to no other treatment, have been
perfectly and permanently cured by the
use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t establishes monthly regularity. It
dries debilitating drains. 1t heals in
hammation and liberation and cures
female weakness.
Mrs, Shropshire, of Ballou, Shelby Co., Ohio,
writes "My mother had an ovarian tumor
which we thought would result i'll her death,
but we had read your advertisements and we
commenced using your Favorte Prescription
We got one dozen bottles to commence with,
and before she had taken three bottles She
began to improve she is living to-day and we
have given your medicine the credit My

Defendants Story.


According to Barker's story. Mrs.
Barker told him shortly before the shoot.
ing that about IS months previously Mr..
Keller called on her while she was alone
in the house and made an improper
proposal. When she repulsed him, &C.
cord1ng to the story told by Barker, the
minister attacked her violently, and she
tainted.
Barker further said his wife had been
afraid to tell him the story of the as
sault because she knew that if she did
he would kill the minister For some
days before the alleged confession Mrs.
Barker had been III a very nervous con-
dition.
Mr.. Keller denounced the whole story
as utterly false. He declared that his
whole life was refutation of the charge.

A Smart American Idea.

The novelty-loving women derive in
finite satisfaction from their postil-
ion belts that happily can adorn
waists of all ages and sizes. A smart,
American idea this position girdle
is, and the strap that encircles the
middle is wide or narrow, as the pur--
chaser may select. A black silk or
satin band, stitched to a state of de-
sirable stiffness, edged with gilt OF
silver gimp, fastened in front with
stitched tongue and buckle, become
a jaunty position by the simple de-
vice of fastening in the back a long
or short, fat or fluffy, tail, made of
the same goods as the belt itself.
Sometimes the tail is trimmed with
gimp to match the belt, but just as
often it is left quite plain, save for
a chaste design worked out in small
gilt buttons.
