LOCATION TO BE CHANGED.
Town Of Chappells to be Moved
Survey Made-New Brick Stores
to be Erected.

Some time ago The Herald and
News mentioned the fact that the
people Of Chappells in this county
were considering the alvisability Of
moving the location Of the town from
where it is now at the railroad sta
tion to the brow Of the hill about one
half mile from the railroad. This
movement is now about to take per-
mancnt shape, and just the other day
a surveyor was engaged and the
town was laid out with broad streets
and wide avenues and boulcvards, and
it is proposed to erect some ten or
fifteen brick or cement block stores
in the near future.
The site selected is q beautiful pla-
tcau overlooking the surrounding
country and will be healthy and will
make desirable location for the
town. 1t is also proposed to establish
a bank, which will be 4 great convcn-
ience to very large section Of very
fertile country in Ncwbcrry, Laurcns,
Greenwood and Saluda counties, all
of which corner very near this place.
Mr. Williams, Of the Southern rail
way, has agreed to run spur track
out to the new town, so that freight
will he delivered as conveniently "a
1t is now. OF course the passenger
station will in all probability remain
for the present. at least. whore II now
is.
This is a very good business point,
but down at the railroad where the
town has been built it so near the
river that it has not been healthy and
no one has undertaken to live there.
1t is expected that lots will be sold t,
very soon and the erection Of new
stores will begin at once.

Roosevelt started at O'Clock this

AT $50 the presidential train arrived
at Pedro Miguel, where some steam

in the cut the peculiar soil conditions

to the presidents attention. Presi-

the steam shove!s, taking a seat along
side Engineer Bray, whom he sub
jcctea to searching fire of questions
regarding the work.
President Roosevelt told Chief En-

Railroad Work Rushing.

Douglas Dispatch: While the Southern Pacific is rushing its new line from Guaymas to Douglas with all possible speed, the Phelps Dodge people are working with equal zest to reach Guaymas by way of Nacozari, Cumpas and Moctezuma. Whatever govern mental obstacles delayed this en- terprise have been removed and al- ready dirt is flying along the new route. A score of contracting out fits are on the grade and mucker, skinner, rockman and plowman are singing the right of way song. These outfits are scattered between Nacozari and Cumpas, the later being the first objective point of this important Nacozari extension. Both Col. Watts and Major Burn ham, who were here yesterday from the Nacozari district, con frmed the story of activity on the new road. More than 400 men are at work in the camps near Ma

Tin Mines.

Guadalajara Times: George Mitchell of New York, the well-known mining man, has denounced 421 rertenencias, or ap- proximately 1,040 acres, of mineral land in the municipality of Paso de Sotos, Jalisco. The land is traversed by several tin veins. The land denounced is in the same district as the Es- peranza tin mine, which was recently sold by w. A. Pratt, Car los Rettich and others of Aguas- calientes to the Pennsylvania X Cananea Copper Company,a Mitch ell corporation. As announced several weeks ago, the company will spend $25,000 in the erection of concentrating plant. It Is now stated that the Mitchell in- terests will undertake the develop ment of the tin properties on an extensive scale and that if the de- velopment proves successful a smelt- CT will be erected in that dis trict.

Journal Miner: With it's shafts and underground workings caved in. almost beyond repair, and after it's development has been aban- doned for many years, but withal having an enviable record as a gold producer, dating back thirty five years. the Emmet mine, in the Mineral Point district has changed hands, Henry V. Brown, gem eral manager of the Lucky Star mine, in the immediate vicinity, and Robert Burns having pur- chased it from R. c. Powers of Los Angeles, their intention being to equip it with hoisting and pump ing machinery, at an early date, and resume it's development on a larger scale than was ever attempt ed by it's former owner. Located on a flat in Lonesome Valley. at Che foot of the Black Hills, about four miles from Yaeger siding, on the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, its rich deposits of gold ore were explored and mined to water level by the early pioneers of the district who extracted its values by the arrastra process to good advantage. besides hauling hundreds of tons of its high grade ores almost 100 miles to Cave Creek for treatment, it even then paying them hand some profits, after the enormous expense of transportation by wagon was taken into consideration.

HISTORIC HALLOWEEN

APROPOS of Halloween, did you know that
~ among the ancients, in the days of the Celts
l. \ and their priests the Druids, it of
the three principal festivals of the year? These
priests maintained throughout the year immense
fires stone altars erected upon eminenCes, in
honor of the sun god which they wOrshiped, and
on the night of October 81 they assembled in white
robes to eXtnguish these fires and rekndle ones.
Fire, even among the Pagans, emblem of
immortality, typifying the ascent of the soul to
heaven. Among those of the Catholic faith fire
kindled to light souls out of purgatory. In many
places in the old countries fires lighted in
every village on Halloween. When they
sumed, the ashes carefully collected in the
form of a circle and one stone placed near the
circumference for every person in the several fam
lies interested. Whatever stone moved out of
its place or injured before the next morning the
person represented by the stone doomed to die
inside of twelve months.
As this druidc faith faded in the light of Chris
tianity the heather festivals lost much of their
grandeur and former significance, until in the
present age all that seem to remain of the weird
ceremonies which once characterized this important
celebration few fortune telling games.
Shaw, in his history of the Province of Moray,
seems to consider the festivities of this night a
sort of harvest home rejoicing He tells that a
solemnlty was kept on the of November as a
thanksgiving for the safe ngathering of the produce
of the fields. On the Isle of Lewes a sacrifice was
made to a god called Shony, to invoke his
blessing upon the next seasons crops The inhab-

of Atlantic navigation
This was the loss of the Allan liner Anglo-Saxon
April 27, 1868. She making in from sea for
Cape Race, through dense fog to deliver her des-
patches, when she struck in the early morning, at
Chance Cove, two miles north of the lighthouse.
She had four hundred persons aboard of whom two
hundred and thirtv-seven pershed. The news boats
crew rescued the one hundred and thirty survivors
and sustained them till steamers came from St.
Johns with provisions and clothing, and soldiers to
bury the dead who laid great trenches as the
sea washed them ashore. Chance Cove was then the
home of several families of isherfOlk; but they soon
after abandoned it, alleging that the ghosts OF the
drowned haunted the and their OF distress
made life unendurable 1t is a notable fact that the
place has never been settled since.
More than one other liner narrowly escaped the
same fate for so intense was the rivalry between
different flags that the grea.lSt risks were taken
