Relic. Of Gold Hunters.

While blowing TN his field near Eu-
faula recently Mr.. Charles Gibson un-
covered a large number Of weapons,
some Of which were rides Of an old
style, some btunderbusses, few old
time pistols and a couple Of swords.
All these weapons are tn fair state OF
preservation and are apparently OF
Spanish make.
According to Creek tradition, a party
Of adventurous Spaniards, numbering
fifty-four, In the year 1854 left New
Orleans on burros and went to the ter
ritory In search Of gold. They secured
all the precious metal they could car
~, and on their way back they were
beset by q band Of Shawnees near
Standing Rock, eight miles east OF
Eufaula, and great battle followed
The Spaniards, with the exception OF
two who escaped on a raft, were ami
hilated.
It is supposed that the weapons
plowed up on Mr.. Gibson's place are
the ones that were used by the Span
iards mentioned above.-Kansas CITY

from that meeting was CONFUSING
sense Of having been projected unex-
pectedly into the very midst Of heaven.
That impression, however, was not
lasting. Time revealed that If Miss
Aston vas a guiding star others be-
sides himself were looking, raising their
eyes to her and following where she
led.
Still he drew a sigh Of relief at the
thought that he had two rivals instead
Of one. Always in these matters there
was safety In numbers,
Keeping a watchful eye upon two
rivals Is wearing work even tor a
strong man. If Manice had been fas-
cinated by Betty Alston's face, at the
end Of two months it was lovelier to
him than ever, for the better he knew
her the more assured he became OF her
sweetness and womanlipess. Counted
by conventional standards, it was a
pitifully short time that they had
known each other, but he felt as II he
had been aware of her through all the
thirty-five years Of waiting.
Thus his love, like mighty wave,
whose crest, poised for a moment,
must inevitably spend itself In foam,
broke into words. Simple, manly
words they were.

We cannot understand why the people
Of Spartanburg should make themselves
ridiculous by inviting Roosevelt to visit
that city. We doubt very much in the
chamber of commerce represented q ma
jority of the people Of the city when they
extended the invitation. Let us hope
such was not the case at least.

We congratulate Sheriff Owens and
Governor Hayward on the capture o.

we do not believe Adams would hsvt

In Darlington's municipal election last
week the regular Democratic candidate
was defeated, an Independent being
elected. The primary system is getting
into baa repute in South Carolina, ano
we may expect it to receive other haro
iolts unless needed reforms are made. In
many instances it is now used as means
to further the designs of interested poll
ticisns, and it is little wonder that good
men refuse to be bound by it.

We can see no difference in the State
selling whiskey through its own agents
and its being sold by private parties oy
and with the consent of the government.
If a governmental system OF direct con-
troll of the liquor traffic could be relieved
Of the taj1s of fraud and corruption, we
would prefer it to having whiskey han
died by private individuals. If the State
must 90 out of the whiskey business it
will be because of the corruption devel-
oped and not for any sentimental reason.
~
Education is suggested as the remedy
for lawlessness, vice and crime. With
this we concur, provided it is the right
kind. Make education compulsory if you
will: that is all right, but it must be an
education which will inculcate the les
sons Of friendship, morality, and bEotherly
love. The Bible should be taught in every
school, and its principles of righteousness
and purity impressed upon every young
life. Teach them the religion of gentle
ness and kindness; to scorn lie and hate
q liar, and above all that order is heavens
first law.

Drifted 200 Miles in a Row boat.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. PA voyage OF
200 miles by oar, almost destitute of pro-
visions and water, and pursued by horde
of giant sharks that threatened momen-
tarily day and night to capsize the craft
and devour its occupants, was the expert
ence of Capt. Sam Harris and four South
Sea Islanders, who composed the crew Of
the little trading schooner Victor, wreck
ed on Apataki Island on November 80
Apataki is two hundred miles from Pa
peete, the port of Tahiti.
This is tale'os the sea brought here
by the liner Mariposa, just arrived, which
left Papeete on the day Captain Harris
and his men landed there, emaciated and
nearly crazed, but still alive. When the
Victor ended her career by striking the
reef the shipwrecked crew barely had
time to put off in the boat for their long
voyage, made without compass and no
sail, with one days provisions on board
and half dozen cocoanuts. The milk
of the latter was all they had to drink
during the eleven days it took to reach
Papeete.
The passage was enlivened by con-
stant-combat with the sharks. In verih-
cation of their story oars were shown
splintered and worn repelling the attacks
of the ferocious fish, which gave them no
rest. The Victor was trader among the
Friendly and Society Islanders.
