AND NUGGETS.

Special to The Optic.
HILl.SBORO, ". M. Nov. 30.--The
excitement over the extraordinarily
rich ind OF placer gold in the Cebolla
mountains east Of HiIlsboro continues.
The new fields stretch up and down
Apache canyon for several miles. The
value Of the ind promises to DO
much greater than at first supposed.
A busy village has sprung up where
q week ago there was no sign Of life.
Men are pouring into the camp By
the hundred. The black earth seems
to be thoroughly permeated with
golden grains, which. In many places.
may be separated from the sand by

considerable size and value are en-
countered frequently. The wonder is
that the placer grounds remained 50
long undiscovered.

THE senate adjourns today by rea-
son of the expiration Of the constitu-
tional limit; but from the latest infor-
nation the probability Is that the pres
dent will lose no time in re-convenins
Il in extra session. The extra session
will be for the purpose Of disposing OF
the isthmian canal treaty. Senator
Morgan, who has never given his con-
sent to the substitution of the Panama
route for the Nicaragua route. has been
filibustering in executive session for
several weeks to prevent ratification Oh
the treaty now under consideration. He
got the floor on the subject and has
held It until the senators. were ready
to let it 90 over until another day, and
has continued the tactics. At one time
three other senators threatened to pro-
long consideration until Senator Morgan
concluded his speech; but the senator
gave them to understand that he would
hold the floor until he dropped IN his
tracks. and as many Of them were
afraid that they could not hold out ror
that development, they decided not To
make the attempt. AS to whether Sen
ator Morgan can accomplish anything
by filibustering except delay, remains
to be seen.

- The county registration board did
business Monday as usual in accord

registration, however.
People who have been accustomed
to calling it the Marrow; Gauge" can't

The advertisement in another COL
umn giving notice Of the opening OF

stock of the Yorkville Building and
Loan association Is a new event OF
more than ordinary local interest. 1t
is a fact that while but few local peo-
pie have ever made anything by In
vesting in a foreign building and loan
association, there is hardly case on
record in this state where home enter
prise of this character has failed to
make money for the shareholders. This
undertaking promises to have the best

fine opportunity for the. profitable in
vestment of spare savings Of our home

The proper production Of this play is
generally recognized as rather beyond
the capacity Of the average amateur
organization. The young ladies and
gentlemen participating were aware of
this fact and they took care to provide
for it with unusually careful and palms,
taking advance practice. They had
quite a large audience, and the general
verdict was that the play. as present.
ed, was complete success. The gross
proceeds amounted to about $50, all
of which over and above expenses will
go to the York County Confederate
Monument fund. .''.

THE Aldrich currency bill under dis
cussion in the senate provides for the
borrowing Of money from the govern
ment at Il per cent. interest on state
and county bonds coming up to GER
tain requirements as to unquestionaoie
stability of value. The Republicans "a
yor the bill; but the Democrats are
divided on it. Senator Bailey SAID ne
would vote for it on the ground that II
would tend to relieve the treasury OF
its surplus, while Senator Blackburn lie
afraid that a man like ]. P. Morgan
might thus be enabled to withdraw the
whole government surplus at will. The
proposition of Mr.. Aldrich has its ad-
vantages and its disadvantages; pu'
the principles involved in 1t are so rar-
reaching in their probable effects that
there will be no definite action for some
time yet.

AuNDER THE SOUTHERN CROSS.

There was a downpour of rain last
Friday night and the weather was
disagreeable otherwise; but neverthe-
less the ladies Of the Winnie Davis
Chapter U. D. c.. having in charge the
presentation Of the Southern Cross
drama, decided that the entertainment
be given in accordance with public
announcement, and in spite Of the
weather.
Under the Southern Cross" Is very
pretty love story of war times. The
scene is laid principally in North Caro-
lima. The Warringtons, who are the
leading characters, are loyal southern
ers; but they had neighbors, who were
moved from considerations of envy
jealousy, and hate to give lot of trou-
BILE and annoyance, and the story OF
the play Is woven out Of contending
interests of love, duty and patriot
ism. The cast of characters included
soldiers, citizens, spies, slaves. etc., and
was made up as follows:
General Dering, Mr.. Brooks 1nman;
Gordon Beverly. chief Of staff. Mr..
John R. Hart; Jack Warrington, COM
manding cavalry legion called War
ringtons Light Horse, Mr.. Paul Nc

out of his pocket under the circum-
stances, still we do not think that the
case calls for unusually severe punish
'ment. There was no element of mur-
der in the killing so far as we are able
to see, and we do not think that It
comes within the terms Of a strict de-
ffnition Of manslaughter for 1t Is prooa-
BILE that there was not even an instan-
taneous desire to infect serious injury.
The worst that can be said of the
teachers offense probably is that ne
was guilty of grave indiscretion, and
such punishment as may be inflicted
might very properly be measured out
on this basis.
Whatever may have been the cause
Of the tragedy, and whatever may be
the disposition Of the case In 80 far as
Teacher Pitts is concerned, it certainly
seems that from a development like
this there should be some practical
lessons. In our view, there are at least
two lessons that may be learned with
profit. One Is that there should be
greater care than customary in the Sc
lection of the teachers who are to be
vested with authority over the youth
in the public schools, and the other is
that the slightest assault on a school
teacher In a school room should be de-
fined by law as a most serious misde-
meanor, punishable by public f1ogging
or in such other way as might best en-
phasize the gravity Of the offense, and
increase the necessary authority Of the
teacher.

a coming storm. There are no signs
that the reforms have excited enthusi-
asm either in Macedonia or Bulgaria.
Public opinion in Bulgaria unanimously
condemns the proposed reforms for
Macedonia as entirely inadequate. The
Macedonians themselves declare they
will not accept the reforms. which,, even
liz much more extensive, would require
control to insure their being carried out.
The extremist newspapers denounce the
project as International eynicisn and
maintain that a Macedonian uprising
is now all the more certain. They de-
clare that the Macedonians should
break with Austria and Russia and
seek the support of other powers.

WRECKED By A STORM.

AS the result Of storm which
swept over Gastonia last Saturday
morning, a large section of the wall of
the Avon Cotton mill was blown down
and a number Of operatives were in
jured. Two Of the injured, girls IL and
Is years of age, were dangerously hurt
and may not recover. The mill was
damaged to the extent Of about $1,000.
Other less serious damages also result
ed. The correspondent Of the Char
lotte Observer tells the story as follows:
The storm, in It's greatest force,
struck the Avon Cotton mill, in the
eastern part Of the town. The oper-
atives, whose ears were filled by the
din of spindles and thunder OF looms,
were unaware Of the storm that ragged
without until 1t crushed the southern
wall Of the eastern half of the mill
and lifted one side Of the roof and
folded it over on the other half. The
destruction came in q moment. one
hundred and fifty feet Of the wall en-
closing the second story collapsed with
out warning and fell inward upon the
operatives and machinery, as the roof
with it's enormous rafters and beams,
went flying off like 80 much paper.
The water connections with the tank
In. the tower were torn and twisted
like green withes and torrents Of water
pouring in from above were added 10
the confusion of the awful wreck, the
darkness and the roaring storm.
Only four or five operatives were
hurt. OF these two little girls are dan
gerously injured and may not recover.
One Is Sadie, the 12-year-old daughter
Of jeff Beatty, and the other Is BESSIE,
the 15-year-old daughter Of John Lay.
The little Beatty girl worked on the
shift and had just come In to clean up
her spinning frames. She was found
crushed against the frame by the fall
en- wall. Her hair was twisted on the
spools and blood was flowing In jets
from her nose, mouth and gashes on
her head. Miss Lays jaw and one
hand were broken and the back Of her
head was crushed. A little girl named
Smith and other operatives were hurt,
but none so seriously as the two named,
whose chances for life are painfully
slender. The reason more were not
caught in that fatal wall alley Is that
the mill was short Of night hands.
The. damage to the mill by wreck,
wind and water Is about $1,000 and 1t
will likely be six weeks before 1t Is run
ming to it's full capacity. The workmen
are removing the debris and the con-
tractors expect to put in time day and
night and Sunday until the exposed
machinery Is protected against harm
from the weather. Messrs. Gray and
Love, the chief owners, regard their
loss but lightly and with characteristic
ally humane feeling are mostly con-
cerned for those who were injured In
the wreck.
