FRUIT OF THE DIsPENSARY.
What the system Has Done for south

not matter greatly Iu estimating the In
fuence Of this institution upon the politi-
cal life of the State. That there has been
great deal of stealing We have not the
least doubt. that there have been many
defalcations IN the management Of the
dispeusarl-s the records viii show: that
the State has been engaged as q State
In d most disreputahle business there can
be no question. and that the people Of
the State have permitted this soCialistic
experiment 10 be made is 10 their shame
and modification. The question that
ought % concern all of us is the deca-
dence Of public morals ia South Carolina.

immensely in the seIf-respect Of its own

WOODLAND DAYS OUT WEST.

The trails We trod last summer time are buried now
in SNOW
Those mystic paths through woodland ways where
pine branches swung low.
And where the breeze from distant hills was soft
upou the brow;
But ah. the pines are draped in white-the breeze
is chilling now.
The stream that seemed TO laugh in gIes is silent
now and gdes
Beneath an icy covering the while cold moon
rides.
And dogu the moSsy sisles We knew there floats
tie wolts Wild cry.
And hecks upon the clsted Snow tell where the
deer went by.
The peaks that smiled upon as then are frownins
now and drear,
No smoke comes from the rangsrs lodge where We
found trallmeus cheer
But once again. in memory before a cheerful blaze
We live again dEeamegs Will the summers wood

A TdbuLe 70 Mn YIrslnl. Mes.n.

Mrs. Virginia McGary was
born Dec. 9TH, 1884 and died Dec.
23rd, 1908.
She professed faith in Christ
In early life and united with the
Methodist church. She was
married in 1852. She was the
mother of eight children, one of
whom together with her husband
preceded her to the better world.
She leaves seven children and a
host of friends to mourn their
loss.
Sister McGary was unassum-
ing and quiet. She had been a
great sufferer for months but in
all her sufferings she was patient
aud never murmured. Fl e r
church and her home were the
dearest places to her on earth.
She was a good woman aud filled
well all her stations in life. She
was so unselfish that she thought
more about the welfare of others
than her own, So she was ready
when the end came and sur
rounded by her sons and daught-
ers, who were devoted to her, she
quietly fell asleep on the night
of the 23rd. Her body sleeps
besides that Of her husband in
the Odd Fellows Cemetery at
Jacksonville and the spirit has
returned to God who gave it and
is reunited with the spirits of
the loved ones gone before.
May God bless the loved ones
who survive her, and may they
form an unbroken family ia
heaven. w. O. BRANDON.

Employment by the United
States Geological Survey, for
even a short time or in any ca
pacity, appears to have a COM
mercial value that is rated high.
Even the cooks and teamsters of
the field parties refer proudly to
their connection with the Sur
vey and reap the reward of popu-
lar credit attaches to their pub
lie service.
The advertisement of such
connection after it ceases how
ever, has sometimes been the
source of trouble or embarass-
ment to the Survey, especially
where it is used for the further
ance of doubtful mining schemes
and the Survey desires to give
emphasis and wide publicity to
the fact, now fairly well known,
that no member of its scientific
corps Is allowed to do profess
sional work in the United States
during the period of his employ
ment. The rules of the Survey
are indeed, so stringent, that no
one connected with it in any
capacity-whether as messenger,
laborer, clerk, or scientists
permitted to hold stock In any
mining company in the United
States. The public is warned to
look carefully into the state
ments and the standing of any
practiclng mining engineer who
advertises present connection
with the Survey.
The fact that the staff of the
Geological Survey is not COM
posed exclusively of biologists is
too often overlooked. OF the
twelve hundred or more persons
connected with it in 1908, not
more than 10 per cent are geolo-
gists, and not more than / per
cent are engaged in work whose
character implies ability to de-
termine the merits of a mining
prospect or enterprise.

Gold in the PHILIPPINES.

From a report on the produc-
tion of gold aud silver in 1907,
published by the United States
Geological Survey as an advance
chapter from "Mineral Resources
of the United States, Calendar
Year 1907" by Waldemar Lind.
gren and FL. d. AcCaskev, the
following extracts are made:
"For centuries the Igorots of
Lepanto and Benguet have been
mining gold, washing 1T from
the streams or recovering it by
impOunding water in the hills
and releasing it in floods over
decomposed surface material, in
this way procuring additional
auriferous gravel and at the
same time exposing the rich and
narrow VEINS, which they worked
to slight depths underground.
The rich vein material thus pro-
cured contained free gold, which
was recovered after the ore was
crushed in crude stone mortars
and washed by hand. The Ig-
orots and later the Spaniards
worked extensively the copper
ores at MancaYan, in southern
Lepanto, near the northern
boundary of Benguet. For a
number of years considerable
quantities of copper were recov-
cred, which did not add to the
output Of precious metals, al
though the ores, which are mixed
sulphides, arsenides, and anti
sometimes carry as
much as IS to the ton In gold,
particularly in the pyrite. Since
the American occupation pro-
inction Of gold by the Igorots
has continued.
