that is Just as rich, and probably a
little richer and better than the Occur
d'Aiene district, which made Spokane
what it is today
81 think, it is about time that the
people here were waking up. with
the agricultural land we have and
the mines right In our own county
we will have larger town than Spo-
kane.
There have been thousands of
dollars spent in the Gold Hfll coun-
try and at Dumping Lake mining dis
tricts with good results. There are
mines opened up which could ship a
trainload of ore each day, but we can
not afford to pack it out, it costs four
cents a. pound to take provisions into
the country, which is $50 ton, and
the ore would cost just about as
much to pack it out, besides the cost
of mining 1t, railroad transportation
to shelters and the smelling cost.
This would run the toal cost to yer
a hundred dollars ton, and that is
higher than the average mine will
run; not only in Gold Hill but in any
other mining district
The mining people here have
waited now for twelve years to get
q wagon road to their properties,
and since that time have spent thous-
ands Of dollars developing their
mines. There are hundreds of peo-
Pile in this county interested in Gold
Hill, and as the state only has to
build 16 miles more to get a road in
to- this mining district and to the end
of Yakima county, the legislature
could not surely appropriate sum
of $4,000 to better advantake than
to complete 1t. Two years after. the
road Is built there will be 500 men
at work In the hills, which would
mean a pay roll of something like
$50, 900 month, to come to North
Yakima. And this does not include
the profit to the people who hold
interests in these mines. If you have
your county at heart and want TO
boost your own business too, help
MS get this road, and urge the legis-
lators to give an appropriation for it.
1t means much to every business man
and every property holder in Yakima
county. lhis article is open for dis
nussion. am ready to answer ques.
tons on this subject.

Editor Herald: I have seen few

regarding the benefit of the road 10
Yakima county and to North Yaki-
ma.
81 am very glad to learn that the
people favor the road by way of the
Naches and American river and
through Bear gap. A good many
thousands of dollars have been spent
on that road and, with very little
more, the road would be completed
to the sound country. The road at
the present time is within &c miles
of Bear gap, which is in the north
west corner OF Yakima county. And
$1,000 a mile would finish it to that
point
"a lot of work has been done on
the west side of the mountains, and
the people in that section are very
anxious to finish the road, but they
seem to work for another purpose,
When the road is completed it will
open up one of the best mining coun-
tries in the northwest, and they are
after the business which will be of
great Importance.

To deepen his grief he was sudden

As the shadows of eventide set

length, Mr.. Beachey's mind wan
dered back to his first sweetheart
and his early love, and he deter

search of her, though he could never
again see her.
1t was bright spring morning
nearly two years ago, that blind Will
fiam Beachey alighted from train,
having Travelled two thousand miles
alone. His first inquiry was for his
sweetheart of early days. He was
directed to the same house where ne
had met her in years agone, and
there was a meeting of tears and
renewal of the old friendship.
Thus these two old persons have
lived; the twilight of life has settled
around them as benediction-just
for memories sake. But now the
romance ends most sadly in the sud
den arrangement of the old mans
mind.

Young Man and Woman.

Abbeville, S. c., May 7.--Hugh p.
McIllwain, a popular young man,
was killed as the result of all accl-
dent at Due West. Mr.. Mclllwain
had driven up to Due West, II miles,
to witness the baseball game between
Erskine and Wofford. During the

Morse were sitting in their buggy in
the ball park, when an automobile
behind them frightened their horse.
Miss Morse was thrown from the
buggy, but escaped without a
scratch. Mr.. McIllwain, however, in
attempting to get out of the buggy,
became entangled in the lines, and
was dragged a few feet and thrown
violently to the ground, receiving in
ternal injuries and a stunning blow
in the head.
Mr. McIllwain was carried to a
nearby house and medical aid was
summoned. Hemorrhage started,
and it was seen that there was very
slight hope for his recovery. Drs. l..
T. and J. P. Hill, of Abbeville, were
telephoned LOT, and they set out
promptly in an. automobile. On
reaching the injured man, however,
and consulting with Drs. Bell and
Wideman, of Due West, they saw
that a surgical operation was impos-
sible. Mr.. McIllwain died this morn
ing about 3 o'clock.
He was 26 years of age. He was
engaged in the grocery business here.
He had for some time been an usher
in the Presbyterian church. His
widowed mother and several sisters
survive him.
The body was brought to Abbeville

Russellville, Ala, May 9.-The
murder of Jim Ezell, Wednesday
night, has been cleared up by the
confession of Mrs. Waltrop, mother
in-law, and Mrs. Nora Ezell, wife OF
the murdered man. The shooting,
according to this confession, was
done by NJ. P. Notes, the women be-
ing privy to it and confessed to their
deed. AS a motive, Mrs. Waltrop,
now in Jail here, says she thought
Notes would be a better manager
and could do a better part than
jim She knew Notes was to kill
Jim and when the gun was fired, she
says she knew the plan had been car
ried out. She seems to hate more
than anything else the disgrace of
being in Jail. She is very feeble, a
small, hump-backed old lady nearly
70 years old.
Notes was carried back to the in
quest under strong guard as feeling
was high in the community.
Mrs. Ezell broke down at the
funeral of her husband yesterday.
She will be brought here and lodged
in Jail tomorrow.
All of the persons connected with

NEGRO LYNCHED IN FLORIDA.
Mob Wreaks Vengeance on Assailant
of Farmers Wife.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 9.-Mrs.
John Deas, wife of a well known
farmer, residing at Camden, fifteen
miles from Jacksonville, was crimi-
nally assaulted early last night by
an unknown negro, who was later
captured by mob of citizens and
lynched. Mrs. Deas was driving her
COWS home yesterday afternoon when
the negro sprang upon her, forced
her to the ground and accomplished
his fiendish purpose. Mrs. Deas's
screams attracted the attention of
her son, who came to her rescue, but
the negro had made his escape from
the scene. The sheriff, in this city,
was notified, but when he reached
the scene the mob had captured the
negro, Mrs. Deas had identified him
and his throat had been cut from
ear to ear, and his body riddled with
bullets. The sheriff could gain no
information as to the identity of the
mob and no one seems to know the
negro, claiming that he was strang-
er in those parts. The body was
brought to Jacksonville to-day.

Unusual Case in Anderson.

A very unusual case came under
the attention of DR.. J. c. Harris at
the hospital to-day. A negro named
Henry Butler was sent here from
Bolton yesterday afternoon suffering
from a peculiar illness, and was
placed in the hospital under the care
of DR.. Harris. An examination was
made and an operation decided upon.
This was performed to-day, and a
stone the size of guinea egg was
taken from the negro's bladder. The
strangest part of the case was that,
imbedded in the side of the stone
was a pistol ball. Upon being ques-
toned, the negro admitted that he
had been shot at a hot supper about
five years ago, and that The bullet
had not been removed. He is now
doing nicely and will soon be out

FLORENCE POSTMASTER PICKED
Reported that Black Horse will Get
the Office.

Washington, May 10.-It is learn
ed to-day, on what is believed to be
good authority, that all differences
existing as to the selection of post
master at Florence, to succeed Joseph
Wilson, have been settled, and that a
man who will be satisfactory to all
the patrons of the Florence postoffice
has already been picked, and that
during the next few days his name
will be promptly confirmed.
This information was obtained
from a source where there is no
doubt that the above plan will be
carried out, and for obvious reasons
the name of the man who will in all
probability be named to succeed Will
son is withheld for the present.
The solution of this vexing ques-
ton will undoubtedly be good news
to the people of Florence, who have
been eager to have some worthy citi-
zen appointed in Wilson's place, and
not resident of another State mere
ly sojourning in that town. 1t is be-
lieved that the whole matter will now
be arranged before the present ses-
sion of congress ends.

Meat Sent to Soap Plant.

Greenville, May S.-The ware
house full of meat belonging to
Swift & Co., which was recently con-

health authorities and the inspectors
seal placed on the car. The health
officer at Atlanta was notified of the
shipment and he wired DR.. Smith
that he would take care of the meat
when it got there and see that it was
