GOLD MINING IN YORK.

Very few people are aware that there
is any active interest in York county
gold mining just at this time; but such
is the case nevertheless, and there is
good prospects of considerable devel-
opment in the immediate future.
Several months ago, in May, Mr.. E.
w. Long, the Southern's Yorkville
agent, and Mr.. w. l.. Horn of Smyrna.
a practical miner, secured the right to
take a carload of ore from a prospect
on the Darwin place near the Cherokee
county line These gentleman got out
the carload of ore and shipped 1t from
Smyrna to a smelter at West Nor
folk, Va, for reduction.
Several weeks interviewed between
the date of shipment of the car Of ore
and the receipt of the report Of the as
say. When the report was received 1t
was very encouraging, as the return
from the car of ore amounted to about
ssO0-or something like $40 a ton.
Messrs. Long and Horn had endeavored
TO get an option on the mine, but fail
ed and in the interval between the date
Of shipment and the receipt of the as
savers report, the mineral and INNINGS
rights of this property had been sold,
II Is claimed, to northern capitalists
for $4,000. Mining operations at this
mine are now being pushed vigorously

WITHIN THE TOWN.

THE Ladies' Auxiliary society OF
the Yorkville Cemetery association
wants roses.
The market has been pretty well
glutted with watermelons during the
past week or ten days.
The Southern's new freight house
is about ready for use, and 1t appears
to be adequate for present needs.
There was a good rain Sunday
night and it was very acceptable as
the ground had already commenced to
grow dry and hard.
There is a lot Of building to be
done in Yorkville during the next few
months, and there is more in sight for
next spring.
Rev. w. c. Ewart announced last
Sunday that there would be no further
preaching service in the Associate Re
formed church until after the second
Sunday in September.
- Mr.. Arch M. Jackson has purchas-
ed from the estate Of L. M. Grtst,
through Mr.. ]. C. Wilborn, the Tomlin-
son house on West Madison street.
The purchase price was $3.50.
The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Gem
etery association Is in need of funds.
Quite a number Of people have sub
scribed more or less literally; but as
vet no case has been reported where
anybody has hurt himself. The ladies
can make use Of five times as much
money as has yet been made available
and they can do 1t without extraVa-
gance. They will make a showing for
every dollar they get. Give them the
money
There was quite an electrical storm
passed over this place last evening
about dark. Some people who were
waiting on the belated c. & NV. train
say that simultaneously with a loud
report they saw a shower Of sparks ny
from the railroad track opposite the
residence of DR.. ]. L. Stokes. The elec-
trio lights went out all over town at the
same instant. Shortly afterward the
lights came on again but they were
extinguished a half hour later, and the
understanding is that the power house
has been out of business since. The
Neely and Tavora mills have been Idle
during this morning.

THE COTTON SITUATION.

The steady decline of cotton during
the past fourteen days, has been a
subject Of very particular interest
throughout this section and there is
anxious inquiry on all sides as to
whether or not there is any real good
reason to believe that there will be
a substantial recovery before the next
crop comes in.
There are at least thousand bales
of cotton yet in the hands Of the far
mers of York county, and only sixteen
days to the official opening Of the next
cotton season, although more than a
month, perhaps, before the cotton of
this particular section will begin find
ing its way to the market.
1t would be mighty nice thing to
be able to tell the people who are hold
ing cotton, with reasonable certainty
what they should do; but 1t will have
to be confessed that with the specula-
tive element in consideration, that is
next to impossible. There Is not q
great deal on which to base an intel
ligent opinion.
On being asked yesterday what, In
his opinion, was the cause Of the pres
ent depression in the price Of cotton,
one of the best informed cotton men
Of this section, expressed himself about
like this:
"The people who have been holding
cotton all year have become uneasy and
have commenced selling. The mills
were hungry at the beginning Of the
month and were paying a premium
The cotton holders rushed to sell and
as soon as the mills got supplies suffi-
cient for present needs, they dropped
the premium they were Offering"
do you see any hope Of better
prices soon?" the reporter asked.
II do not see what there Is to bring
better prices right away" the cotton
man replied. 1.-THE mills Of this section
have no big stocks; but it is now only
short time until the next season
opens, and unless 1t shall develop that
the present crop is shorter than now
appears, there is not much reason to
hope that prices will continue good"
We have seen nothing in any Of the
market letters to encourage better
prices; but 1t is quite general opin-
lon that the element Of speculation is
largely figuring In the present situa-
tiOn

and the prospects for good returns are

and the prospects for good returns are
very bright.
Messrs Long and Horn have been
prospecting for some time in Bethel
township and have secured options for
the mineral and mining rights on lands
Of Messrs. R. ]. Davis, G. L. Riddle
and others.
Mr.. Long said to the reporter a day
or two ago: II have sent specimens Of
the ore from the mine on Mr.. Davis's
place to the parties who purchased the
mine on the Darwin place and one or
two of the parties will be here this
week to go out and inspect our various
prospects. We have taken out about
a carload Of ore from the Davis mine
and will ship 1t from Bowling Green
to West Norfolk this week. The vein
Of this mine Is from three to six feet
wide and Is unquestionably the richest
that has been found in the county
The specimens sent to the prospective
buyers were not picked specimens, but
were about an average Of the car OF
ore taken out for shipment to the
smelter, and are good enough to make
mining man sit UP and take notice
| 1 guess 1t will only take a very few
weeks to get a report from the stamp
ing mill at West Norfolk and then we
will know for certain what we have"
Mr.. Long says that the other pros
poets in Bethel township are good
enough to merit close investigation
and he and Mr.. Horn will see to 1t thai
they get 1t with very little delay.

COMMISSIONER of immigration Wat
son sails for Europe today or tomorrow
for the purpose of trying to see what
he can to induce immigrants to come
to this section. He carries with him
an idea that will mean much for South
Carolina If it is only carried out. 1t
is his purpose to do what he can to
get one >or more of the big steamship
companies to make Charleston port
of CALL That will solve the whole i'm
migration problem so far as the south
is concerned. During the past all the
influence that could be brought to bear
around Castle Garden and other points
where immigrants usually land, has
been against the south and in favor of
the west The south has been pic
tured as land Of savages, sickly and
inhospitable and the impression pro-
duced on the immigrants has been cal
culated to keep them as far away from
this section as possible. AS a matter
of fact, in the old days. Charleston was
the principal immigrant port of Amer
ica Hundreds of thousands, IL not
millions of the best people living in
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Tennessee, Texas and North
Carolina account for their presence
here by tracing their families back to
the time when their ancestors landed
at Charleston. The people who are
reading DR.. Lathan's history are fa-
miliar with the story. Many hundred
thousand immigrants have landed at
Charleston even since the Revolution
airy war, and 1t was not until the be-
ginning of the civil war that Charles
ton finally lost her standing as desir-
able port of entry for immigrants.
There is no insuperable difficulty in
restoring old conditions We can do
it with half the labor and expense to
which the first cOmers subjected them
selves in bringing such a large pro-
portion Of the present population here.
And that is not all. With the stream
Of immigration started toward Charles
ton again, this old state will again be-
gin to take the lead over all the states
in the Union in the matters of COM
mercial Industrial, agricultural and
intellectual development.
