The people of Oconee, South Caro-
lima, are greatly excited over the dis
cOvery of oil in the southwestern
part of the county on the farm of a
Mr.. J. b. McJunkin. The discovery
was made in Il rather peculiar man
ner. A tree growing near the house
was struck by lightning nearly every
time Il thunder storm visited the re-
giOn. Three weeks ago DIR. Boland,
a skilled mineralogist, representing
an extensive oil company in Phila-
delphia, happened to stop at Mr..
McJunkin's home, and his attention
was at once drawn to this tree. Af-
ter an investigation of the surround
ings the doctor told Mr.. McJunkin
that appearances indicated petro-
leum in abundance and insisted
upon immediate examination, which
was reluctantly granted.
State Senator John P. Moore of
Worcester Co., Md, tells of an ex-
perience he had with Mr.. John w.
Mackay the great millionaire who
died in London last week. "Last
September ! was in Paris with Gen.
Francis Waters and my son." said
Senator Moore. 1.-The boy was taken
with typhoid fever, and cabled his
mother to leave on the steamship
Etruria, which sailed from New
York on Saturday. 81 had but the
shortest possible margin to work on
before the steamer sailed. So [
called for the manager of the cable
company and explained to him how
anxious | was to get the message
through. He shook his head and
said. 81 am afraid it cannot be got
ten through in time "While was
talking | noticed a man sitting on q
box in the office. He had a cigar in
his hand and seemed to be waiting
for me to end my interview. Il
could not help hearing your CONVEX
sation," he said. Write your mes
sage. If that mothers boy is ill L
will get her the word that he is bet
ter. | know what will make moth
er's heart glad. "He turned to the
manager and said: stop all business,
clear the wire and have that mes
sage at the steamer. Before | could
collect myself he had left the office.
You can well imagine my surprise
when the manager said that was
Mr.. John w. Mackay. Later in the
day l received from Mr.. Mackay
note telling me that Mrs. Moore had
gotten the message and that the bill
was paid many times over by the
thoughts of the joy the mother felt.
| did not get to see Mr.. Mackay, al
though l made several attempts
during my stay. When | heard of
his death 1 cabled my sympathy to
his WIFE"
