Owners and drivers of auto.

now in course of preparation is
adopted 10y the council. The
ordinance is drastic affair
aud will go a long way towards
diminishing the number OF nc.
cidents aud will completely
eliminate the class of operators
and drivers who reyel in the
name Of speeders. The ordi-
nance provides for Jail term
of not less than thirty days for
any person who shall drive n
machine faster than ten miles
an hour in the business and
residential sections of the city.
No person under the age Of
eighteen years is to operate a
machine under any circum-
stances Owners and drivers
are held jointly responsible for
all damages that may follow
from "a machine operated or
owned by them They are to
be shut out at all times and un-
der all conditions from using
the parks of the city for any
purpose, aud the driver and
owner are Jointly to hear the
burden of proving innocence
when any accident shall occur
while they are in charge of u
machine.
The enforcement of the Jail
sentence is compulsory and the
police, justice or magistrate is
given no choice in the matter,
the jail term being in addition
to the fines now provided by
law The shutting OF of driv-
ers from using the parks of the
city is because tile drivers have
a habit of running at any and
all speeds through the parks,
where at times hundreds of
children are playing, subiecting
them to the danger of being
run over by the drivers. And

continent, according to Bulle

Geological Survey entitled
Reconnaissance of Some Cola
and Tin Deposits OF the South
ern Appalachians, by l.. c.

When the early Spanish ex
plorers came to America they
were shown by the Indians rich
nuggets aud ornaments Of gold
whi5h came from the Southern
Appalachian region. Later. in
the seventeenth century. the
Spanish mined for gold in
Georgia During the eigh.
teenth century very little at
tention was given to mining
anywhere in the Appalochians,
although it was supposed by
some that gold was found in
North Carolina before the
Revolutionary war.
Just at the close of that cen.
fury placer gold was discovered
in Cabarrus County, n. g..
and after that prospecting was
carried on with considerable
yigor. The first reported pro
duction from South Carolina
mines was in 1929 and the gold
produced was said to be worth
$4,000 From that time until
the civil war mining was an
important industry of the re-
gion and although the rich
fields of California lured many
from these deposits of lower
grade, the indirect result of the
California excitement was a
stimulation of mining activity
in the East. During the wal
and for several years after lit
tie gold mining was done in
this section, but in the seven
ties, eighties, and nineties the
condition of the industry i'm
proved. At the present tim,
gold mining in the central por
ton of the Carolinas is no

decreasing supply of free mill
ing ore and.inability to extract
the gold from the lower grad,
sulphide ore at a profit. Pro
duction win probably continue

~
as now laid out aud surveyed
will cost practically the whole
of the seyen hundred thousand
dollar bond issue, and that very
little, if anything, will be left
for macadamizing the same;
and, whereas, it is our under
standing that it is the intention
of the Board OF Supervisors to
spend the whole of said fund
if necessary, in grading said
roads, and to only expend the
balance of the money left. ifI
any, after grading the same in
macadamizing; Now, there
fore, be it resolved as follows:
First: That it is our firm
conviction that it would be a
mistake and very disasterous to
the interest of the county to
grade said roads without mae.
adamizing the same, or at least
the principal thoroughfares of
the county, on which there is
or will be the greatest travel.
Second: That rather than
do this, it is our opinion that III
would be best to cut down the
width of the grading to say
sixteen feet, and the width of
the macadam to say ten feet,
except ON the very most import.
ant roads, and then all of them
should be graded and the prin
cipal roads macadamized, aud
the other less important roads
should be macadamized as far
as the remaining funds will
permit, commencing at or near
railroad points and extending
back therefrom as far as pos.
sible
"Third That these reaola
tions are not intended in any
manner as reflection on or
criticism OF the Board of super
visors; that on the contrary wei
think the Board has given theI
subject patient and faithful
consideration and has done
what seemed to it at the time
best for the whole county The
fact ia that the cost of the roads,
as located and surveyed. s III
aoo APPEARS, is so enormously
above what was anticipated
that the Board as well as the
whole county has been at sea as
to what is the best thing to be
done; and we now believe that
the best thing to be done is that
the Board carefully consider the
new bids which may be put in,
and then cut the widths of
grading and inacadam to such
figures as will enable all the
roads to be graded and the
principal roads to be macadam-
lied from end to end, and then
use the balance OF the money in
matchmaking the less import
ant roads, commencing at or
near railroad points and extend
ing as far as the funds will go,
and that no further contracts
be let for grading until the
whole matter is thoroughly
considered in the light of the
new bids, nor until all the roads
which are to be macadanized
are determined on

Now Drury EX-Studcnt Is Trying
to Have the Penalty Modified.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo.--Backed by
petition from the student body,
Percy Lodge of Linn Greek, Mo-, for
n erly member of the class of 1912.
appealed to the faculty o! Drury Col
lege today to have modified the Or
der by which he was dismissed from
the college without honor last June
for hanging human skeleton in
Stone chapel just before the arrival
of the senior class for the baccalau-
reate sermon.
Lodge was the only one who ad-
mitted his part in the prank. Lodge
was dismissed, losing all his credit
at Drury and his right to enter any
other school in the Missouri college
union. 1t is believed the faculty will
rescind its action by giving him his
credits and permitting his entrance
in another school.
