The statement has been made
frequently that the negro race was
on the decline, while as a matter
of fact the figures of the decade
prove that it has increased. The
percentage of increase for all per-
sons of color is 17.S and out Of that
percentage the negroes may claim
all but a very small part. There
are now more than twice as many
of them in the country as there
were in the days of slavery, and
they constitute almost one-eighth of
the total population.

STORY OF THE ELK
MT. MINING DISTRICT
Contributed by E. L. N.

|
the first epoch we are compelled to
to place the mining industry of
Gunnison county under the head
of illegitimate. The industry as
found and conducted in the second
epoch, can be properly termed le-
gitimate. Of course we do not
mean to say, that in the beginning
of the industry, which promised so
much for the surrounding COM
munity, that all men and mines
We're dishonest, but that. speaking
from general principles, the bad
transactions were by far more nu-
merous than those that were honest
and legitimate. Neither can we
say that all investments that have
been made in recent years have
been strictly honest, and Legitimate
1t is to be regretted that the people
have ever turned away and refused
to expose all shady transactions
that were made in their midst, and
in which mining property was the
object used for inducing the un-
wary to invest their money in
worthless proposition. But the in
vestments made in recent years
have been, as a rule, made on
strict business principles. The
failure of many honest efforts can
not do so much harm to a miningl
community as the exposure of one
scheme whereby innocent people
have been robbed of their means
by INSCRIPTIONS mine promoters.
When the first boom came the
county was over-run by gamblers,
thugs and scalawags from all quar-
ters of the globe. and period of
crime and disorder was the natural
result of this bringing together of
the earth's scum. Then there were
the ever present mine promoters,
whose only capital was sleek
tongue and d reputation for being
crooked. Ten foot holes were sold
for sums that would today buy a
a well developed mine that could
be depended upon to pay reason
able profit on the investment.
Mills were built that could in no
way handle the ores that were pro-
duced by the local mines, and
thousands of dollars spent in diff
ferent schemes that could result in
nothing less than disaster to the
district. Political schemes were
inaugurated whereby the credit of
the county finally became involved,
and brought burdens upon the
citizens that must be borne for
years to come. The crash came at
last. The resources of the country
could not stand so much prosperity.
The latent wealth was here, but
the showing was all on the surface,
and no depth in the "diggings." "
AS the fall was unavoidable, the
sooner it came to pass the
better for the country. New men,
new money, and new ways of doing
business have taken the place of
old "harum scarum" style, and the
prosperity of the community is
assured. New structures are being
built on the site of the old mills,
and smelters are being erected
only where they can be made a
paying investment. The old work
J ings that have lain idle for SO
many years are being renovated,
and machinery installed wherever
there is sufficient showing to justi-
fly the expenditure. To sum up
the situation properly brief re-
view of each camp will not be
amiss, and the past as well rs the
present conditions under which
the work of development is going
on may be better understood. To
this end an individual history of
each camp, or section, will follow.

The situation of the railroad strike
remains unchanged, neither party
seems disposed to give iu and the
erd is rot iu sight The railroad
people are still trying to supply the
places of the strikers with non union

prevent this being done by moral sns

force. The men are hopeful Of ulti-

railroad people are just as confident
that they will win the fight, and SO it

After an illness extending over
period of months the pure spirit OF
Dr.. J. VIM. Stokes has winged
its everlasting fight to the God who
gave it. It was known for sometime
that DR.. Stokes was critically i'll, but
few realized that his illness would
terminate fatally, and hepce when
the news was received here last Sat
urday that he had that day died at
his home lear the town of Orange
burg, it was to many persons a pain
ful surprise and could scarcely be
credited. DIR. Stokes was deservedly
popular and universally beloved by
the people of this county as we'll as
by those throughout the entire dis
trict which he so faithfully and 50
ably represented in the lower house
of congress. DR.. Stokes was one OF
the ablest and most conscientious
men in public life at his time and bis
public and private life has been above
reproach His persistent Efforts for
the establishment of the rural free
delivery was successful and he has
done the rural districts Of the coun-
try service that will be of great ben-
eft to them in the years to come.
To the stricken wife and bereaved
relatives of the dead husband, states
man and Christian gentleman we
extend our warmest sympathles.

account of his death aud brief

from Delmar but they won't do it so
[ will tly.
Mr.. Lige Shealy & Co. beat liv-

gave satisfaction.
Mrs. Jane Caughman visited at

Mrs. G G Shirey and her SOP,
master Clarance, visited in Delmar
few days ago. They always find the
latch string outside when they come
as they have many friends and lela-
tives in town.
The grain crop turned out very
well except what was in the path OF

weather damaged a greatdeal in the
shock, es specially oats.

If the people were in possession of
everything which occurred in con-
nection with the life and labors of the
excellent man whose name graces
this page there would be little need
of any further history of Lexington.
Beginning his public life at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century he
was continuously in Office for more
than sixty years, and though under
the wa'cbful eyes of the people for
so long a period, well known writer
said after bis departure, that smong
the three or four men be had known
who were apparently without fault
was West Caughman.
The subjsct If this paper was born
on Hollow Creek, in Lexington, Sept.
1st, 1855. His opportunities for se-
curing an education were necessarily
limited. That now. prosperous and
progressive section was then wilder
ness and there were no schools
worthy of the name in bis reach.
When about eighteen he spent one
year in a good school near the Blue
church in the historic Dreher COM
munity, in the fork of the Broad and
Saluda rivers. He boarded while
there with Mr.. John Shuler and by
his high character and studious
habits aud rapid progress he won the
admiration of this good man who
proved himself true friend to the
end of his life, and willingly aided
him in his subsequent Efforts.
Being naturally talented and a
close student he became in the end
we'll educated and lived to occupy
with credit to himself and honor TO
his county many positions of public
trust. Solomon's admonition, Re
member thy Creator iu the days of
thy youtBN'' found ready response in
his life. He connected himself with
the Lutheran church at the age of
sixteen and throughout long life Of
eighty years was faithful servant Of
his Divine Master. When eighteen
years old be became au officer in the
Lexington Light Dragons. This
was his first office and he was ever
afterwards in the public service in
