{ (Franklin Times. }

The editor of this paper met COM
mercial traveller few days ago who
said he met and made the acquaint-
ance of a gentleman in Salisbury who
had attended the late national Repub-
lican convention in Chicago as a deie-
gate from one of the western coun-
ties of this State He said he had
voted the Republican ticket ever since
he was cid enough to vote. He had
been great admrer of President
Roosevelt and went 80 the convention
with his whole heart and mind set on
doing his part for his nomination. and
demonstrating his love for great
leader He was near the platform in
the convention hall and saw the young
buck negro at the command of the
bosses lock his arm with a beautiful
white girl and parade the platform
carrying the flag. His head became
dizzy and staggering to his feet. he
made his way out of the convention
with a determination never to go into
another Republican convention. The
gentleman said he should spend the
remainder of his days doing everything
possible against the Republican party.

MINING IN UNION COUNTY.
New Activity I'm Field Which Prom
iseS to Bring Large Results.

Especial to News and Observer.)
Monroe, N. c., Sept. 24.-There is
considerable activity in mining in
Union county with very favorable re-
suits. The Colossus Mining CO. oper-
ating the HOWE and several adjoin-
ing properties about nine miles Wesa
of Monroe are installing a large cy--
anide plant to treat the ore from tho
immense vein they are now develop
ing. The ore body bids fair to rival
some of the larger Western mines
both in tonnage and richness. 1t IS
reasonable to expect that this plant
will be running early in November,
and will soon produce a magnificent
dividend to the enterprising men from
Pennsylvania who have invested their
money and time in developing this
wonderful property.
About two miles northwest of Mon
roe the Nichols Mining Co. operating
on part of the old Osborne estate
have opened up a vein of fine looking
ore some of which shows considerable
free gold but is rapidly developing
into a sulphuret ore showing consid-
erable copper. The shaft now at fifty
feet shows the vein to be somewhat
broken and about five feet wide, and
highly mineraliZed, and from all ap-
pearance will soon develop into a
large vein of good ore. In prospecting
the surface they have located num-
Der of parallel veins which seem ia
be coming together and indicate a
large body Of ore when greater depth
is obtained. The Nichols Mining Co
is operated by Baltimore people who
are fortunate and have shown good
judgment in having chosen a property
that is developing so satisfactorily
Work on the Brown Hill mine located
about. eight miles north OF Monroe is
being pushed by Massachusetts par
ties. They are doing considerable
work and at a depth of eighty-five
feet have drifted on the vein about
one hundred and thirty feet, and arc
now prosecuting to ascertain the
width of the vein, which. is of low
grade, but carrying number of large
shutes of very high grade ore. This
property is admirably located and
undoubtedly will well reward the
owner for their confidence in it a.
they have considerable good ore on the
dump now.
The Black Mine at Indian Trail ten
miles North of Monroe has been shut
down temporarily owing to the change
of ore from q freemilling and concen-
tratng ore to a good smelling ore
running high in copper and lead This
mine as greater depth is obtained will
make a good showing IN a very fine
smelling ore.
Besides the above are a number 81
other mines which are worked spa"
medically. Among which are the
Smart, Stewart, Long. Moore. Bonnie
Doone, Laney, Crump and Welsh
The most of which would make
good payers if worked on business
| basis. The Welsh mine deserves
special mention for the surface show
Ing giving fine results by panning.

ELEGANT OPERA HOUSE.
New Bern's Handsome Masonic Opera
House Opens With Eclat.

Especial to The News and Observer
New Bern n. c.. Sept. 24.-Friday
night marked an event that will last
our theatre-going people many years.
The occasion was the opening of the
new Masonic Opera House by Fred.
e. Faust's Minstrels. This play house
is modern, convenient and commodi-
Gus, and will compare with the best
in the State, when lighted presents a.
grand, brilliant display of electricity
from $50 incandescent lights. The
stage is roomy and can carry any
scenery used by all companies. The
entire house is being equipped with a
system of water works.
The lessees, Messrs. Craven Bros, of
Wilmington, n. c.. have booked us a
series Of shows that will satisfy all
lovers of amusements.
Local Manager f. +. Mathews will
look after all conveniences and see
that the patrons are protected In
case of fire five exits are on the bot
tom floor. while the balcony has two
and one fire escape. A fire panic is
impossible.
Too much praise cannot be given
to the Fred. e. Faust Minstrels, as
each artist stands at the head of his
profession. Their costumes were
gorgeous and scenery grand.
The acrobatic performance of the
Faust family was wonderful and be-
yond conception.

and whose names / could not dvulge.
The statement is true that Mr.. Bah
cock looks upon the Congressional
campaign as extremely critical for his
party He is not saying such things
merely to get money and stir up his
party He believes they are true and
that if something is not done in a few
weeks the House is lost. This opinion,
l know, is shared by one or two OF his
closest and abiest advisers. Now the
claim is made that while the House is
in danger the President ISIS safe. If
the House is lost the Presidency is al
most sure to go with it, It has been
SO in the past. 1t is likely always to be
the case in Presidential years The
same causes are operating. The very
thing which determines the wind of
the votes in the districts to go Demo-
crate for Congress determines them
to do so for the electoral ticket.
Roosevelt is no stronger than his par
ty. He is even-in some places weak
