ARKANSAS GOLD FIND.

Camden, Aug. 14.-Messrs. Reece Guess, the owner and operator of a sawmill near this place, and Arthur Weiss, jeweler in the employ of Messrs. Stinson & Berg of this city, are the owners of what may prove to be very rich gold mine. They have sent some of the ore to an assayer, who pronounces it to be valuable. It is manifest that it is heavily charged with gold, and is found in rock on and near the surface of the earth.
 The land on which the ore is found lies north of this city near where the present Ouachita coal mines are loca- ted. Two capitalists who have already had some experience in the mining business have made Messrs. Guess and Weiss a proposition to furnish $1O0, 900 toward developing the mines. This proposition has not been accept ed yet, and will not be until further developments.

ICE MEN RETALIATE.

Articles of incorporation of the h. dependent Grocery and Market Con- pany were filed with the county clerk of Pulaski county Thursday. It is capitalized at $24, 1000. Shares are $25 each. Three thousand dollars has al- ready been paid in. The corporators are F. L. Riggs, R. W. Walker, L. w. Cherry, Hull & Fox and c. L. Kraft. They will buy and sell groceries, in- cluding meats and vegetables, at wholesale and retail F. L. Riggs has been elected president of the com- pany and c. L. Kraft and R. w. Walker are directors.
 The incorporation of this company, it is understood is the beginning of a fight on the Retail Grocers' Associa- tion which recently formed a com pany for the manufacture of 25- cent ice in opposition to what is termed the Ice Trust. It has been decided to combat the retail grocers of the city on their own ground as the retail grocers are about to do with the ice manufacturers. All the incorporators of the Independent Grocery and Mar ket Company are either owners of ice factories or holders in ice stock.

have often heard that it's right
good plan to measure man by his own
ward stick, and so it is. Mr.. William
Johnson has out yard stick represent
ing his general line of hardware, and
this yard stick measures fully 36 inches.
While Mr. Johnson don't measure out
his plows, hoes and all other farming
implements by the yard, they are sold
YOU with full 16 ounces to the pound
which is on the same principle, and II
Christianity means anything at all it
mean honesty in business transactions.
The young folks had musical enter
tainment at Mr.. L. Feagle's last Sat-
urday night. Mr. Feagle's daughter,
who is teaching at Saluda Old Town,
was down on visit to her parents.
Mr.. Editor, have been in favor of a
special road tax for considerable
while, and ia one or more of my articles
I recommended that we take the dis
pensary profits for this purpose instead
of applying them to the public school
funds, as so many seemed to dislike the
plan of educating the children with
liuuor profits But it's right bad idea
to look for any general good to be de-
rived from liquor.
The subject of good roads is grow
ing issue, and the only way to have
good roads is to work them on the con-
tract system. Let the communication
tax stand at one dollar, give us a spe-
cial levy of one mill, and make it COM
pulsory for every man liable to road
duty to pay his ccmmutation tax, and
this will give us plenty of money to
keep up our roads in apple pie order,
without issuing bonds. 1 am opposed
to the issuing of bonds. It's imposing
a taxation upon the people OF too long
standing. Let US hear from some OF
our candidates who are seeking to be-
come our lawmakers on this subject.
Prof D. A. Quattlebaum, who has
been teaching at Delmar, Saluda County,
| came home about two weeks ago sick
from an attack of measles which
stopped his school few weeks earlier
than he intended. We are sorry to say
he is still in lingering health.
Mr.. Jefferson Quattlebaum is also un-
able to work from the effects OF running
a thorn in his foot. We sympathize
with Mr.. QuattIebaum. 1t is partlcu-
lar hard on a man to be stopped out Of
his farm at this time Of year.

We are glad to note that the attend
ance at the Charleston Exposition holds
MP. If it could only have been so for the
past several months the Exposition
would have been much greater success
financially. For the past several weeks
the CITY of Charleston has been full OF
Visitors to the great show, and they have
all enjoyed it very much. The rates have
been so low, and living in Charleston so
cheap, that there is scarcely any excuse
for any one not attending the Exposition.
The rates have been cheaper than ever
known before. Just think of riding from
Newberry to Charleston and return
nearly four hundred miles, for $3.50.
This rate has been on for several weeks
and will continue for the balance OF the
month, tickets on sale on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. Every South Carolinian who
has not been to this exposition should
make haste to go at once. Only two
more weeks remain. We are pleased to
know that so many of our OWE Newberry
people have taken advantage OF this op-
portuuity, but if there are any left they
should go at once. The Southern Rail
way has been giving us a special New
berry coach every Tuesday. We guar
antee that every one who will go will be
DELIGHTED and never regret the time or
the money spent.
The big day, however, is to be Wednes-
day of next week, 22d, known as Wagener
Day, so designated in honor of Capt
F. w. Wagner, who is president of the
exposition company, and who has been
pocketing most Of the loss. This should
be the banner day Of the exposition, and
we hope there will be large crowds IN at
tendance from all parts of the State.
Souvenir tickets have been placed on
sale in advance, and no doubt the at
tendance will be immense. 1t should be
so.
The railroads have done their part to
make the exposition by the low rates
they have given, without which the
attendance would have been very small.
No expositions have ever been hnan-
cial successes in the sense OF making
money for the promoters or yielding div
idends on the capital invested. But this
exposition is bound to do good II Char
lesion, the whole State and the entire
South. It's benefits will be lasting, and
all the people will share in the harvest.
There should be rejoicing that it has
been as successful financially as it has
been.

1t strikes us that the city council has
made the penalty in the splitting ordi-
nance out of proportion when the penalty
in the other ordinances published today
is considered. 1t is a good ordinance,
and can be easily enforced. The citizen
who expectorates will soon form the
habit of missing the sidewalk, but we, be-
lieve to have made the fine from one to
FIVE dollars would have had better ef-
feet That is the penalty fixed in similar
ordinance in the city of Columbia, and
the ordinance is rarely violated.

destroy the primary system ITSELF"
Some revision of the old plan should
be made. We believe limiting the
number of the meetings aud giving
more time to each speaker would &C.
complish the results desired; but if
this is not done, and we do not believe
it will be, then we favor two campaign
parties, starting on opposite sides OF
the State, which would give two cam
paign days in each county.
Even if this is done the daily news
papers will scarcely run two sets of re-
porters and the speeches and views of
the candidates will not get publicity
except as it is gotten from the spoken
speech.
The primary is all right for it gives
the people right to express their
views on public questions and the peo-
pie right to say by a majority vote
whom they want for the various Offices
and it takes a majority vote to elect,
but we do not want to load it down nor
tire the people with it.

Oh Merala aud Mews
NO MORE PLEDGES NEEDED.
(. H. AULL, EDlroh.

One of the most important questions
before theStateConvention, which meets
inColumbia Wednesday, lis the matter
of pledges to be required of candidates
and voters. Heretofore the only pledge
has been that they abide the result OF
the primary and support the nominees
of the Democratic party. This was sut-
6cient. Any white man protesting to
be Democrat could participate in the
primary, and the sole OBJECT Of the pri-
mary was to maintain the political su-
premacy of the white man. That pledge
is sufficient today. There is no use
whatever in requiring man to pledge
himself to the support OF platform
adopted several years ago. or any part
of that platform. If he goes before
the people in the primary and his
views do not appear to them to be
sound Democratic doctrine, they can
so say at the ballot box. 1t is the right
of the people to decide on such matters
for themselves. So long as white man
processes to be a Democrat and pledges
himself to abide the result OF the Dem
ocratic primary he should be allowed to
enter the primary; and so long as a
white man protesting to be Democrat
pledges himself to support the nomi-
nees of the party he should be allowed
to vote. This plan amounts TO nothing
more nor less than a scheme for the
continuance of a white mans govern
ment and places the whole responsible
ity upon the people, where as matter
of right and Justice it belongs.
