Farmers, Get Ready.

'.. rarInerS, UfC Itttuys
From all over South Carolina comes
inquiry about how to proceed to sc.
up a Farmers Union, and all about
the work of the Farmers Union?
In answer to all these questions
will say the first step is to get fifteen
good good farmers together ready to
be organized, then write to the State
Secretary, B. F. Earle, Anderson,
s. c., and get instructions as to how
to proceed to organize and when an
organizer can be sent to your section
of the State.
Do Not Forget This.
That at all places where Farmers
Union speakers are to address the
people, that the people at these places
are expected to advertise these meet.
ings and make all local arrangements
to suit themselves, and to meet the
speakers at the railroad.
In our travels over the State the
cheering sight of the finest corn crops
ever seen in the State greets the trav-
eler in nearly every section.
Fortified with fine corn and feed
crops and entrenched behind over one
thousand cotton warehouses and in
creasing our membership. at an aver
age of more than three thousand per
day, the Farmers Union justly feels
proud of its grand success. Farmers,
stand firm to your original principles
and guard against the influence of the
willy demagogue newspaper, and all
the cotton bears on earth cannot
climb over or dig under your fences.
The Farmers rally meeting of
Oconee county, South Carolina, to
come off at Oakway, near Seneca, on
the 21st of August bids fair to be the
largest gathering of farmers in that
section in years.
The speaker on that occasion will
be fresh from the field and in good
shape to tell the people about the
grand campaign of the farmers
Union all over the South, and
especially about what has been done
in South Carolina and Georgia.
Two of the worst enemies of the
Farmers Union that we are now up
to is the demagogue in our ranks and
some inconsistent newspaper men on
the outside that are at it all the while
warning the Farmers Union of the
dangerous demagogue and at the same
time advocating the importation of
low grade immigrants for the use of
cotton mills. Now it does look like
any man with even ordinary intelli-
gence should know that this low
grade immigrant class of people are
the very best supporters of dema-
goguery on the face of the earth.
Hence we warn the Union against
the influence of either the demagogue
newspaper men. One of these is as
dangerous leader as the other is.
There is some significance about
this continual harping about the
atfiliation of the Farmers Union with
the Federation of Labor and the
demagogue that smacks of pure rot
when it is known that these same
newspapers have always opposed
farmers organizations and catered to
the interest of corporations.

1000 acres of ground known as the Gold

1t Is generally conceded to be one Of

Several months ago, g. ]. Raddatz

a most gratifying future IN store,
1t is known, however, that the East
ern capitalists interested in the prop
erty, and of whom Mr.. W. II. Tobin is
the representative now in this city, have
also contributed not inconsiderably to
the clearing up of the atmosphere for
this organization, and their confidence
has never once been altered in their
possessions. Just who these Eastern
people are has not been determined,
but they are known to be powerful men
of money who have been connected with
mining interests of the west before.
In the past there has been much de
velopment done upon the Gold Standard
group, enough, in fact, to establish the
existence of sulphides by means of
shafts and tunnels, The company soon
to be placed in control of the ground
will begin a campaign of development
work at once, and enough is known of
the group to allow work to be started
upon the most logical point. The prop
erty adioins the Cumberland Ely on

GOLD IN RhoDESIA.
Interesting Data Given by the United
States Consul.

Consul John II. Snodgrass, of Pre-
toria. furnishes the following report
on the mining and industrial develop.
ment of the British African colony OF
Rhodesia:
The expansion of the gold industry
in Rhodesia to the annual prod9ctlon OF
SlO.O0O.000 of the metal has been ac-
complished by the small investor and IN
dividual effort rather than by means OF
capital. Small reefs have been discov-
cred in this territory, and many are
confidently predicting that Rhodesla III
a few years may perhaps excel the
Transvaal in the production Of the pre-
cious metals. Small operators with lit
tie capital by their own efforts have
of late been extracting nearly one
third of the total amount of gold found,
and their earnings have been spent
mostly in the colony, as consequence
of which there has been revival of
trade While such crops as tobacco,
cotton. and wool have been trying to
find their way into tho distant mar
kets, local demands for grain, fruits,
and fresh meats are being met more
and more by the Rhodesian agricult-
urists themselves.
Rhodesia IS output of other minerals
than gold has increased and several new
industries have come into life during
the year Pioneer settlers along the
Cape TO Cairo railroad have proved that
what could be done in South Africa
could also be done farther moth, and
some remarkable crops have been
grown The Kafue river, the bridging
Of which was an engineering feat only
second to that accomplished at the Vie
toria falls, afterward proved TO be n
useful waterway, for ii extends loo

crafts have already been put on it. The

city for the Rand, aud RhodesIa is in
terested in this from the fact that it
is the intention 10 derive q vast amount
of that power from the Victoria falls.
In the return OF n general Rhodcsian
prosperity. IT is only natural that the
railways should play an, important part.
though they ihave suffered badly as
other lines of industry ON account of
the long.drawn-out depression that
overcast all South Africa. The report
of the Rhodesian railways for The year
1906 shows that the gross earnings for
the first tleveD months totaled $2,393,-
800 which is equal TO S2.66l 900 per
annum, as against S2.3l6,j 800 In 1905;
the net revenue was S9sS.50 as com
pared with 1854 600 in 1905, This rep
resents an annual gain of l2N per cent

mate of the traffic during the year puts

TAKE A DRIVE AND
SEE FOR YOURSELF
Salt Lake Citizen RejOices at
the Vegetation Near the
SmeIterS.

4 Salt Lakcr who has Just traversed
the so.called stricken smelter belt in
the Salt Lake valley states that instead
of the damage increasing on account
Of the operations of the smelters, the
contrary is plainly evident. He states
that with one or two exceptions one
can see the trees and vegetation green
and tlourishing as If there were no
smelters within radius OF scores of
miles. 1t is apparent. he states. that
what improvements the smelling com.
panies have made have relieved the
situation splendidly, and that very
small percentage Of the surrounding
farms show any damage whatever He
advises Salt Lave citizens 10 take a
drive through this belt and see for
themselves how hourishing nature is in
spite of the hated plants in the valley,
Throughout almost the entire area
that has suffered heretofore by reason
of the damaging material sent forth
from the stacks, there are at present
bur few isolated cases of dead trees
or vegetation, and those cases are ones
noticeably close TO the plants Aside
from the first damage to the Lucern
crop by the late and severe frosts, there
is no drawback at this time to the
same. He suggests that the earnest
effort that has been made by the smelt-
ers to relieve the situation has been
resultant of satisfac tory conditions, and
II the farmers would cease their war
fare against the plans and cooperate
in every way TO retain the interests so
close TO their welfare, that even the
most aggravated cases would soon yield
to the proper treatment. And he points
out that what he termed the most ag-
gravated cases were really productive
of very small unsatisfactory returns TO
the farmers.
Relatively few farms were damaged
at all during the most damaging years
of smelter operation. The smelters un-
doubtedly have been forced to pay out
great deal more than was due from
them, And 1t makes one with the in
terests Of the mining industry at heart
extremely happy TO find that all the
damaging effects OF smelter operation
have been minimized as they are at
this time. IT is well known that in the
vicinity of the smeters. and through
out other portions of the State not af-
fected in any way by the smelters, that
the fruits were badly damaged by the
frosts that occurred while the trees
and bushes were In bloom. This short
age, therefore, can not be laid at the
door of the smelters. But the gentle
men wished to emphasize how beauti-
fully the vegetation generally round
the affected belt was progressing, and
again urged that all who could should
go and see the conditions for them
selves.

LITTLE BELL DOING
DEVELOPMENT WORK
Company Makes Very Liberal
Shipments in Going to
New Territory.

While coniining the efforts of the
management to the upper levels in open
ing up new territory, the Little Bell
company of Park City is not leaving
the lower portion of its possessions un-
touched. The Little Bell is a very in
teresting property, and one that is pro-
ducing results of much merit, although
very little has been said by the officials
regarding the property and its progress.
General Manager Solon Spiro, when
asked about the mine Saturday, stated
that the company has been doing L
great deal of development work, deem
ing the Importance of opening up new
ground first of all to be considered.
The company Is doing much of its
work upon the third level. fully so per
cent of the activity IS centered there,
and in the work of going into this new
ground, the company is taking out con
siderable ore in the process Of develop
ment. Mr.. Spiro states that no stopping
the company being able TO maintain
shipments of from 100 TO $50 tons of
ore week from the work as above
stated. This rock will average round
90 ounces silver and GO per cent lead TO
the ton.
Mr.. Spiro states that the ore chutes
have been so opened up TO as far down
rs the 900foot level from the third
level that one is entirely within the
realms Of probability TO state that the
ore Will sbe found continuous for this
distance at least. The task of making
the various connections between these
points is being carried forward as
quickly as men can do the work.

JESSE KNIGHT AT PARK.
Rumor Has It That He Secures the
American Group Of Claims.

Has HUncle' Jesse Knight, the
Wizard of TiDtic, determined upon en-
tering the Park City mining district
and inaugurating campaign of profit
able development and excitement over
hall forgotten properties there. as he
has done at Tintlc? This is the question
every one was asking Saturday on the
brokers row, and there were those
who gave an Affirmative answer. II is
stated that as an entering wedge, Mr..
Knight has secured the control of the
American group Of claims in the Park
City section, and that he would begin
IN his own successful manner the de-
velopment of this property. If the
report is true. he has secured what he
deems property worthy of his steel,
and while the consideration has not
been made known, il is thought that it
runs well into the upper attitudes
During the past week there has been
some inquiry for the American stock
and the name of Jesse Knight has been
connected with the property as an ac.
compartment to the inquiry. Mr.
Knight S name Also has been connected
with several Park City mines of late,
and there are those who think that he
is preparing big consolidation for nu-
merous pieces of ground in this great
Utah district. What Mr.. Knight has
touched In mining way during the
past year or more has turned towards
success, he has not met with failure
and his following has made many for.

BROKERS ARE SCATTERED.
Local Talent Takes to Tall Peaks Dur
ing Long Vacation

Thursday, Friday and Saturday were
very quiet days for the local brokers.
There was nothing doing. even on the
sly, for all but very few either struck
out for the various mining camps or
hurried out to some cool canyon where
they still remain. II was practically
impossible. therefore, TO secure any idea
as to how well the local stocks were
maintaining the splendid levels gained
during the past two weeks of boom
times. The governing board of the
exchange. 1T is stated, warned the
brokers that the vacation during the
past three days was for the purpose of
rest and absolute freedom from the
burden of stock dealings, and intimated
that the board would "sting" anyone
caught making a market for stocks
when the others were not there to
share. The promise is well kept, and
only very few could be found who
were even interested enough In the
Boston and New York stocks TO watch
the boards. Local circles expect the
trading upon the exchange to open
strong tomorrow morning. Each one
knows Just where he stands. There is
lower, and every reason why they
should remain firm The addition Of
the new Tintic dividend payers, and
the Newhouse initial profit distribution
have cleared the air of all doubt.
During the present week there will be
several dividends declared. The Col
orado, Beck Tunnel, Victoria, Silver
King Coalition Mines company, the

CLOSE IMPORTANT DEAL.
Local Talent Secures Good Ground in
Inyo County, Cal.

William II. TibbaIs, f. McCarrick,
and A. Hanauer, Jr., on the Fourth of
July closed an important deal on two
groups of claims, making thirteen in all,
in Inyo county, California. The first
money was paid Friday, and Mr.. Daniel
Mcleod. who was for many years con
nected with some of the big mines of
Bingham left at once for Keeler to
begin operations on the property, These
claims have considerable history as
some Of them were discovered as early
as 1874. and up to 1887, from shallow
workings only, in the nelghborhood of
$600.000 were taken. Selby IS smelter
return sheets for something over two
thousand lots or shipments in 1887
showed average value per ton of $3.50
to over $500. The values in the ores are
found principally in the lead and silver.
Many of the shipments carried from 10
ounces to $50 ounces silver, and from
"a per cent to Ga Is per cent lead
Three assays made the present month
gave values as follows: No. !, 14lS per
cent copper, 475 per cent lead, 1872
ounces silver and 60c gold; No 2, 5l,3
per cent lead 1864 ounces silver and
81 in gold; No. 3, 42.3 per cent lead,
22S ounces silver and 40c gold Those
who are interested in the deal feel very
confident that they will have paying
mine before the end of the year. They
are congratulating themselves on the
success of the deal, as it is important
and the terms are very favorable.
