BUFFERS LETTER

loyal claimant to the throne the High
landers met destruction. The sur.
vivors we're banished to America, af-
ter taking the oath Of allegiance to
the British crown.
More than a century and a half
ago they settled in the vicinity Of
Fayetteville, and from there spread
over the upper Cape Fear Country.
When the Revolutionary War broke
out, being faithful to their imposed
oath, they we're largely loyal to the
crown, and as their loyalty to the
Scottish crown had cost them so
dearly in 1749, so their loyalty to
the British crown served them in
1776. The cause which the Cape
Fear Scotch supported the lost, and
the years that followed the Revolu.
ton we're extremely unhappy. The
Republicans were bitter against the
royalists Of this section, and many
we're driven away by cruelties and
prosecutions.
This went on until the var Of
1912, in which there was sufficient
opportunity for the descendants Of
the older stock to show enthusiastic
devotion to the cause Of the Union,
and from that date the extreme Of
the bitterness in the Cape Fear Coun-
try wore away, and the Wing and the
Tory that had been buried their diff
.%rGrences. Still the War Of 1912 was
not a war to enlist a great popular
feeling, and the memories Of the past
were not wholly eclipsed.
Then came the Civil War, and as
In the past, SO the Scots were on the
side that met defeat. Their warm
loyalty to their country would have
kept them in line with the Union,
but they could not accept Lincoln's
call for troops from North Carolina
TO fight those other North Carolina
people who had voted to secede, and
from their loyalty to their State the
Cape Fear Scotch we're again on the
losing side.
There the resemblance to the man
In Nevada ends. Four or five gen
erations have been born now since
the banished Highlanders came from
Aberdeen and Inverness, and all
traditions Of loyalty which has al.
ways been a Scotch attribute incline
these people to warm devotion to the
land Of their nativity, which for many
a generation has been the United
States. When the var with Spain
came on, the Cape Fear Country sent
its proportion Of volunteers to uphold
The integrity Of the flag, and the
khaki uniform was a common sight
here while the hostilltles we're in
progress. At last the Danished Nc
Donald was on the winning side. Two
centuries or more Of answering de-
votion to the ideals which he held to

be right, and which brought his dis.
comfture and disaster terminated with.
a triumph in which he could rejoice
that the country to which his ances.
try were driven, because they were
steadfast In their devotion to the
cause of their dethroned monarch,
had won a victory never before par.
allelled in the history of nations.
When the Cape Fear scotchman came
home from the Spanish war he came
from a campaign that gave to Spain
a quietus, setting the former mistress
of the world in a lowly place, and ex.
alting to a new station a country
which SPANS enterprise four cen
turtles ago created. No war has been
followed by such an absolute reversal
of conditions. No war that was ever
fought before achieved such results,
and no great war was ever fought
in which the victor suffered SO little
and inflicted SO great destruction on
the foe.
Whether the Nevada man ever
reached the place where he voted the
winning ticket, and thus Joined with.
forces Of victory, 1 do not know.
Perhaps not, for the mutation Of
politics in the campaign following the
defeat Of Blaine would have kept the
brightest minds guessing. At any
rate his period of playing the losing
game was brief when compared with
the long years that the Cape Fear
Scotch we're bearing their burden of
disappointment. But the Scotch is
game. He is a fighter, or he could
never be a Presbyterian, and he has
the everlasting virtue Of persistence.
Flora Mcdonald, who helped
Charles Edward to escape from the
English in 1G4G came to this section
a short time later. Here her hus'
band suffered in the Revolution, in
which he supported the English
cause, and his fortunes fell to SO low
an abb that they set sail for Eng,
land. In an encounter with a. French
ship of war Mrs. Mcdonald had her
arm broken. She remarked that she
had suffered from her devotion to
the House of Stuart and to the
House Of Hanover, and that in all
Of 1T she could see no good to her
self.
But in her loyalty she kept the
bed sheets in which Prince Charles
had slept during his fugitive flight,
and they were her shroud.
Yet so steadfast is the Scotch char
acter that 1 believe If Prince Charlie
or Cluny MACPHERSON or an Appin
stewart were to come forth in the
flesh today in the Cape Fear coun'
try he could be sent to the Legisla'
ture at the next election, and so power
full is tho influence Of neighborhood
enthusiasm that l would join the mill
tant Scot and vote for him.

THE

Ia.HL ..r..
Il happened to be my fate to live
N Nevada when Cleveland made his
inst campaign for President. In Car.
1m was an eccentric old fellow who
had come out to the Comstock from
West Virginia. He was an ardent
Democrat, yet withal something Of
i philosopher. He had voted for all.
the Democratic candidates for Pres
dent since Buchanan, not getting in
On the election that put Buchanan
a the chair. Now ne was a fellow
q serious purpose, and he came in
To the Office one day and said he had
been thinking the matter over, and
had concluded that the man who is
In the minority part Of the time may
be right, but that the mar who is in
The minority for twenty years in o
country Of intelligent people must
W out OF gear in some Of his taeo-
des, So he announced that he would
yote for Blaine, and for once be with
ne winners.
He voted for Blaine, and Cleye,
hnd won. Profane language is not
q to print, so that is all Of the story.
II any rate the Nevada tale is only
1 curtain raiser. The real story is the
scotch population Of the Cape Fear
Country, by whom the vicinity Of
Southern Pines is peopleL.
This is the credentials of the Scotch
native Of this section. A Yankee
nzident of Southern Pines bought
! dressed pig one day from a farmer.
me man brought the pig in and
aid 1t down on the purchasers kitch-
"a table. Scales stood close by. The
farmer saw them and proposed to
Neigh the pig.
Haven't you weighed it?" asked
he buyer.
~Yes," was the answer.
Then It does not need to be weigh
"a again, does it?"
II thought you might want to see
the weight"
mot when you weigh IT." respond.
"a the man from the North, l smiled
at that, for the Northern man is rath'
q cautious in a deal, and when the
farmer had gone l asked him where
fore.
because you can trust INT Of these
old Scotch farmers in any thing, and
athey appreciate 1t When you show
them that you ore aware of their in
tegrity." That does not include all
Of them, but it is a pretty fair illus
ration Of the way they are rated.
But the Scotch Of the Cape Fear
Country have been doing like the
Nevada man for over two centuries.
They began soon after King James
vas dethroned by the English, and
that was III 1859, nearly two hum
bred and twenty years ago. James
Y Stuart was the Scotch King Of Eng
and and Scotland. He vas deposed
BY the English people and succeeded
nv William Of Orange. William was
acknowledged King by the Scotch
convention at Edinburg, but Graham
Of CIaverhouse announced that crowns
we're to be broken ere King James
MnSa went down, and tho bonnets'
of Bounle Dundee made q place in
history. Graham, who was Vlscount
Dundee, was killed in a battle In
which his Highlanders defeated the

The naturalization of this
property is very extensive and
justifies considerable further de-

Among the tributaries of the
Upper Big Lost River some ex-
tensive mineral deposits occur
that are generally of the smelt-
ing varieties, consisting of zinc
lead-copper goldsilver combina-
lions.
At the Phia Kappa mine a
force of ten men are employed
in development work for a stong
syndicate of eastern capitalists.
This mine carries an immense
zone of concentrating mineral
that runs about $40 or $12 pei
ton in combined values.
The zone proper is $50 feet
wide and can be readily followed
along it's strike for mile and {
half in length. 1t consists of {
succession of veins Or. belts o.
gangue minerals richly impreg
mated with sulphides of lead
zinc, iron and copper. These ore
courses are 10 to Is feet wide
with intervening spaces of lime
stone which forms the loca
country rock and presents th'
possibility of developing into al
| immense resource of concentrat
ing mineral.
The ore carries very fair val
ues in gold and silver, as well a
the baser metals. 1t is beins
developed by drifting and sink
