A New Mineral of Great value,

Among the scientific papers read at a recent meeting of the Royal society in London wRs one by Professor Dun stan and q. L. Blake. which. according to the London Standard, described. a mineral lately found in Ceylon which possesses radio active properties. Its crystals are more or less cubical in shape, black, rather lighter than sil- yer and about as hard as rock crystal. As the mineral. called thorianite, con tains 80 per cent of thorium oxide, it has considerable commercial value. The remainder is chiefly uranium OK ide, with a little of two other rare earths and lead. Thorianite is helium radio active and when dissolved evolves helium. into which one of the emanations from radium, now almost priceless, has been proved to change, so its presence may be significant.

Meeting OF County Board OF Commits
SiOnefS.

The county commissioners
met in the Office of the county
supervisor in regular monthly
meeting last Monday, and trans
acted some important business.
The business of most interest
before the board was the matter
of fixing the amount of the
license for buying seed cotton
and unpacked lint. The general
assembly at it's last session
passed a new law on the subject
and fixed the license at from 81. 90
to $500 and left it to
the commissioners Of each coun-
ty to decide the amount for
their county. The board decid-
ed the matter for this county
Monday and put the license at
$50. SO hereafter, all dealers
in seed cotton between Au-
gust 18th and December goth of
each year will have to take out
a license of $40 FROM the clerk
of court in order to do business
and keep within the law.
Another important matter de-
cided by the board was the
question of public cotton
weigher for this place: There
were several good applicants
for the position, but the plum
went to Mr. Isaiah Tisdale, who
hereafter will tip the beam for
the boys.

New Bank Organized.

Kingstree is to have a new
bank. The books of subscrip-
ton to the Bank of Williams
burg were opened Monday at
the office of Stoll & Stoll. The
corporators are Chas W Stoll,
w l Nexsen, T A Blakeley and
E B Rhodus, and the capital
stock will oe $4,000, divided
into $50 shares of 500 each. At
the meeting Monday, the entire
capital stock of the newsbank
was over-subscribed, but We un-
derstand that the policy of the
management is to restrict the
holdings so as to distribute the
stock among representative
business men all over the coun-
ty and to that end few shares
have been reserved for late .ap.
plicants.
A meeting of all the stock
holders will be called early in
September when a president
and a board of directors will be
chosen.

else they will make it. Let Mr
Cause tell the people bow the State
can prohibi. the people from making
whiskey in smuggled way, or send
ing out of the State for 1t. The
legislature can't prohibit anyone from
ha ing whiskey shipped to them, or
watch everybody who are disposed to
make it at night. We al! know the
State has Il right to make laws to
prohibit murder and other crimes
but enforcing the laws against muir
der and other crimes are not like
whiskey, because so few will betrav
anyone for handling whiskey in al
unlawful way. | will agree with
Mr. Cause about the evils of whiskey,
they are endless, when MAN macs
up his mind to do anything wrong
he can't be stopped. He can be pun
ished after he does wrong, but can't
be prevented from doing wrong.
Is Mr. Cause one Of the old
Straight-out faction who is chronic
kicker and wantseverything undone
that was done by the reform party?
If SO, l cannot account for him be-
ing such Prohibltionist.
Yours respectfully,
