The Mining Industry in North
Carolina During 1907.

Prot. Joseph Hyue 1rdCI, OCdCe
geologist, gives out the following
information in regard to the
mining industry in this State
during last year:
notwithstanding the factthat
the last six months of the year
1907 were marked by financial
panic and general business de-,
preston, there was a decided
increase in the total value OF the !
production of minerals in North
Carolina during that year over
the previous one. There were
TWO mineral products, building
stones and clay products, that 1t
was expected would show a con-
siderable falling off in value, as
they are so dependent upon the
building industries, which were
seriously affected by the business
depression. Both these products,
! however, showed a decided in
crease in the value of their
production as compared with the
previous year. With the in
creased demand for timber and
the corresponding gradual but
constant advance in price for
this building material there is a
growing demand for other forms
Of structural material, as brick,
sand-line brick. granite, lime
stone, etc. This will cause an
additional increase in the pro-
duction of such materials in a
State beyond that ordinarily ex-
pected from the regular growth
of a State.
"Of the metallic minerals,
there was a slight increase in the
production of gold, silver and
= iron, but a decided decrease in
the production of copper. This
) latter decrease was due to the
) sharp decline in the price OF
, copper during the latter half OF
l 1907, which resulted in the clos
ing down of nearly all the copper
4 mines in the State.
: "Of the non-metallic minerals
I there was a slight increase in the
q production of mica, for which
a North Carolina is especially noted
q and in tale and soapstone. Thu
production of monazite, however
/ which had been steadily increas
s ing up to the past year, shove,
h a very large decrease, whicl
7. was due to the low value o
: thorium nitrate, which is tn
S commercial salt derived fror
J. monazite.
s ION the whole, however, tn
d results of 1907 show that tn
o mining and quarrying industrie
of the State are in a most pros
y porous condition and that, a
ID though some of them are de
y veloped to but a slight degree {
1t what they are capable, they al
yet in such a condition that sue
8. further development is practi,
able.
THE total value of the miners
production of North Carolir
e. during 1907 was So, 176, los {
n compared with So, 007, 60I in 1901
an increase of $168, 504. Tt
20 production of 1906 was also
. decided increase over that
49, 1905, amounting to $3.50, %
~ this making a total increase
10 mineral production for the tv
years of S736, 724."

Mrs. Cleveland's Romance.

The romance of President
Cleveland's marriage was one of
the most interesting in our pres
idential history, relates the Kan
sas City Times. 1t was the first
marriage of a President of the
United States while in office.
Mrs. Cleveland's father had been
a law partner of the President
and when he died his daughter,
then a young girl, became Mr..
Cleveland's ward. At the time
of the marriage the President
was forty-nine and his bride was
twenty-five. Such a disparity in
years is ordinarily frowned
upon, but the circumstances of
this were extraordinary. Mrs.
Cleveland became one of the
most charming mistresses the
White House ever had. She
bore herself with dignity, re-
serve and distinction, yet quite
as her station would justify her
in being. Her attitude toward
her husband was at all times
wholly exemplary. She exalted
him, but without ostentation and
without in the least belittling
herself. In private life she
maintained the reserve, the
even seclusion, that her dis.
tinguished husband sought,
Throughout Mr.. Cleveland's i'll
ness, in their common joys and
sorrows, in her husbands long
period of suffering and now in
her own bereavement she has
set an admirable example Of
wifely devotion, patience anc
dignity. Elk,

Made to See Through Rabbits
Eye.
Greensboro Record.

greensboro Record.
Rabbits are good for some
thing besides eating. An opera
ton has been performed on a
man blind since he was nine
years old whereby he can see to
get around alone. The press
dispatch giving an account of it,
says: After having been blind
from the time he was nine years
old, Hyman Cohen, a piano
tuner, has been made to see
through a rabbits eye. DR.
Henry R. Lesser performed the
rare and difficult operation. 1t
consisted of grating the cornea
from the eye of a rabbit upon
the eye of the patient. Cohen
is now able to count figures at a
distance of twelve inches, dis
tinguish color and go about un-
attended. The operation, al
though not unknown to optical
surgery, has seldom proved as
successful as in the present
case. The operation was per.
formed last May, and now the
graft is in perfect position.
Cohen's sight seems to be i'm.
proving every day."

Well, Mr.. Editor, | see in The
Fairmont Messenger a letter
from Mr.. D. W. Biggs, referring
to some article published in The

and growls when he thinks
things are going wrong, not
like some cats, stand around
"the ring" and wait for some
one to wink and then growl.
don't think these letters are
worth much notice, anyhow, as
they sent them off for publica-
ton.
