building has been built on scale
that will permit of turning out 100
or 200 tons day by an additional ex-
tension for vats and minor machinery
and perhaps heavier engine. of $2,
900 to $4,000.
The labor Of ten men al an average
of $500 per day, including superin
tendent and office force, and an ex.
pense of SIS for sulphuric acid, salt
and fuel, can reasonably be expected
to handle fifty tons Of ore day and
produce. on per cent basis, sixty
pounds of copper oxide 10 the ton. or
5000 pounds a day. The present quo.
tation on copper oxide Is lac which
would mean that the product OF a
days run would be worth upwards OF
$4O0. Assuming that the itents of ex-
pense quoted above are too small by
so per cent there would still be net
result Of $50 day on a basis OF fifty
tons.

were flying from every staff. and the

were bright with bunting.
Throughout the day the president
has been greeted with tumultuous
cheers at his every appearance. The
enthusiasm Of the greeting he rcceiv.
ed was worthy of the great Missis.
sippi valley and the president Of the
republic. President Roosevelt was
profoundly impressed with the magnl-
iude Of the demonstration. He said
M much in words and more In actions,
for he made no effort to conceal his
pleasure. From the time the special
bearing the distinguished guest was

|party left the exposition grounds lato
this afternoon Mr.. Roosevelt received
continual ovation.
It was few minutes before .
O'Clock when the gayly decorated
presidential special neared the expo.
sltion grounds. Despite the hour.
hundreds Of persons thronged the
Ineighborhood and greeted The appear
|nnce OF the train with shouts pro-
onged. The ateam whistles and bells
took up the acclaim and for few
minutes the air resounded with a
perfect medley of dlscordant sounds.
Tho members Of the reception com.
mittee had met The train before It
reached the city and President Fran
els and other representatives of the
exposition were on hand 10 welcome
the president as soon as the party
had finished breakfast
After the greetings had been ex-
changed the distinguished visitors

morning was devoted to tour OF
the exhibit palaces of the northern
tier, beginning with the transporta-
tion building and winding up at the
government building, where special
arrangements had been made for the

federal troops participated Luncheon
was served at | o'clock In the west
pavilion After luncheon the build
| ings on the south tier were visited, in
cludlng mines and metallurgy. educa-
tlon, electricity and machinery. An
hour was spent on the plateau Of
states and the president also found
time to visit the stadium where q
football game was in progress between
the Haskell Indians and the team
fro mthe Carlisle Indian school.
During the greater part Of the day
the president was escorted about the
grounds by q squad OF cavalry. But
all idea Of keeping the delighted peo-
pie at distance was abandoned be-
fore the presidential party had gone
far on their tour Of Inspection, and
as the party proceeded along the var.
ious avenues and walks Of the fair
grounds the acclaiming multitude
overran the lawns and good-natmedly
elbowed for room In which to raise
and wave flags and other emblens Of

The Advantages OF a Railroad.

We take pleasure and this oppor.
tunity in saying to the people through
whose lands the railroad will pass
from Neal Shoals, on Broad river to
Union, that the advantages they will
enjoy and fully realize are incalcula-
BILE. 1t is the history of every coun-
try through which railroad lines are
built, the value of the lands are en-
hanced from fifty to one hundred per
cent The facilities of transporta-
tion are so much greater, q saving to
farm stock. wagons and all other ve-
hicles; the opening Of market for
all sorts Of farm products, that other
wise might be lost; the encourage
ment to the farmers to diversity their
crops so as to meet the increased de-
mapds of an increasing population,
because railroads always bring in
more people. People naturally pre-
fer to own property and LIVE near a
railroad ,set least, all those who know
and app5 5feiate the advantages fur
nished bSirailroad facilities.
In MnFlborA Marion, Darlington,
Florence and several other counties
in the lower part of this State, since
the building Of the several railroads
wlthin the past ten n'years, lands that
could have been bought-for !S3 90 per
acre, now sell all the way from S. to
$25 PET acre. .:Cstton, tobacco and
truck farming are now the growing
industries of thet section, whereas,
before the railroaSAcame nothing but
cotton and corn were'grown.
The people need nottfear any dam
age which might accrue from the de-
structioh Of growing crops duringtke
construction Of the railroad, because
the railroad will enter into contract
and give bonds Of indem nity-to pay
all damages done. The assessed
damages frequently amount to more
than the farmer would realize if the
crops were fully harvested and sold.
The land owner need have no fears
that railroad company has any ad.
vantages over those guaranteed un.
| der the law to the land owner. TAX,
ing all things into consideration the
5t3Ahd owner has better protection un,
der the law, than that vouched safe
Jto the railroad company. All per
lssons who do not do what they can tc
tsecure railroad through the section
in which they live are simply stand
ing in their own light. We would
prefer to give the right of way rathe
than miss getting railroad, for il
the end the land owner is benefited
