The friendly rivalry among ou1
farmer friends as to big potatoes
is a good sign and We are glad
to give prominence to anything
that advertises the fertility of

to williamsburg people have been
very modest about letting the
world know what they are capa-
hle of doing and while we would
not in any sense be a party to
an exaggerated story of the pro-
ductiveness of our soil and cll-

That the new law divorcinS
the court of general sessions from
the common pleas court IN VII
liamsburg couRty is impractical
and a useless expense has been
,conclusiyely demonstrated by the
last two terms of court held at
Kingstlee. Only a few weeks
ago We had the sessions court
lasting about five hours and on
Monday the common pleas court
exhausted itself in three hours.
Both terms of court, under the
old law, might have been held
the same week and all business
despatched IN two days with the
same set of jurors. The expert
ment at law making has cost the
county at least two hundred dol
lars at the outset of the opela-
ton of the new arrangement and
it seems to US the best thing
for our representatives in the
legislature to do is to put US
back under the old system as
speedily as possibly.

The meeting was a very inter

being that none of our honorary

hope this will not occur again,
as their presence is very much
desired by all the members.
The debate for the afternoon:-

be with US at our meetings we
learn that they think about
US often. We are also delight
ed to hear one of our "learned

very much interested in our So

him an opportunity of showing
this interest in deeds as we'll as

Gold Is Always Young

A S passed here and there in the mint found
4 some workm remelting Spanish silver, just re-
ceived from the Philippine Islands. The money was
hundred years old; but in a twinking in the
ca1dron the silver made bright and clean and
ready to be struck with the American eagle Presto!
this hundred-year-old silver had in moment re-
newed it's youth.
1t is the same with gold There is little doubt that
gold coin in circulation to-day contains reminted
presented by the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon.
In the museum of the mint saw lump of old
yellow gold, like large bean stamped on one side
with the rude outline of crowned archer. 1t is
Persian daric down from the time of Darius,
nearly three thousand years ago. For this daric
that escaped destruction, thousands of others be-
tuted for the archer the image of Nike, victory;
then PtOlemy, by violence and murder always
ciated with the history of gold this Alexandrne
gold hoard to the pot and had it stamped with
Ptolemy wearing the charmed agis, sacred arnor;
and the Romans in turn, made this gold of the East
the spoil of the West, to be restamped with the
heads of their greatest fighting men, Then the bar
barians sacked Rome for this gold, and King Harold
of the pieces for ornaments and others
were melted down for the Queens gold necklace.
Richard the Lion put out Jews eyes to make him
give of this stolen gold for Holy War as it was
called 1t lost for hundred years. but turned
up the prize of Dutch assassins and the piods Of
fering of Spanish pilgrims, who brought holy gold
cup to Rome.
To me- the lesson of the immortality of gold is the
lesson of the mint. And there is something fasci-
mating in the idea that these newest United States
gold coins, which fall in showers here present visible
evidence of rencarnation the old Buddhist doc
trine of progressive immortality for mankind. Re-
minted again and again, the old gold and the new
is shaken together, common plumber of the pot,
purified by raging fires, and endowed with the
spirit of immortal youth serving thus in turn one
generation after another, from Babylon to San
Francisco going forth into the world, and scatter
ing precious favors on this kind on that people.
Mans temples are leveled beside his tombs in the
dust of oblivion; but the gold of the tribe of the
children of Dan, and Hrams gold of Ophr, ard
the gold of the Hittites, and the gold of Judea,
generation after generation, spoil of the strong,
living to-day in the gray years of Abraham
gold always gold Yes, the old metal of Darius
and all the others may actually be part of the
twenty dollar gold coin that now hold in my hand.

A Temple That Tempts

WIHAT a temple this is! The desire for possession
w creeps into your heart What is this strange
psychology of mans relation to gold? The sheen of
gold illumines the at the gold pots, and their
forms become silhouettes marvelously touched with
the gold light against the outer darkness. So, no
matter how old grirny the alchemists may be,
sweating before the raging fires in this gold foundry,
the figures of the laborers figures of joy, more
than human it seems, making gold caressing it
with the long spoons, stirring with loving care,
Jealous of the slightest sparks that fall to the floor;
and from time to time during the year burning
their gloves their clothes, their Shoes and restoring
TO the metal pot something like fifteen thousand
dollars in what might be called the waste of
gold
l have watched that wrought wonderful
things in silks, in stone, BRASS in silver in ivory
but these precious gold ingots, each valued at
fourteen hundred dollars easily the most beat
tfu material in the world. Hammered, rolled and
FURNISHED by machines that eat gold all day long,
and every day in the year, the ingots after
other manufactured into magic golden ribbons,
each seven feet long, wide as your hand and the
thickness of wenty-dollar gold coin.
After nnumerabe tests for hardness, purity, and
perfection the ribbons of gold sealed in copper
vessels, and protected with potter's clay, heated
fourteen hundred degrees For gold, to be true
and firm, must be tried again and again by the
ordeal of fire; and the per cent of copper with
which it is fortified lend strength for the battles
of life.
And there will be need of fiber and sinew; for the
gold will put the pieces in his bag and sweat
coins pass from hand to hand year after year. little

CLOVIS with the true color of native gold.
This alchenst, one of many fellow workers, scoops
up lade of gold whose coruscaton from the heart
of the cup blinds the eye; and instant later,
leaving trail of golden sparks, the metal dis
appears inside an iron mold fourteen inches long
and as thick as your finger In this the ingots
cast to-day are reckoned at half a million dollars in
