PROsPECTORs GETTING BUSY

Down in the extreme southeastern
corner OF Nevada a company ofNew
York capitalists are busy ex-
permenting" and boring with the
object Of uncovering a depo sit of
potash that will render this country
independent of Germany and
Austria. These latter countries
practically control the potash
deposits Of the world for they exist
in such enormous quantities that
they can be mined and shipped at a
fraction of what it would cost
other countries to produce.
Should Nevada come to the front
with one good mine it will
stimulate researches that may
bring other similar deposits tc the
attention of capitalists. In the
present instance exploration work
Is progressing IN Clark county, not
Tar from Las Vegas, on a tract of
land that abuts on, Hthe Clark rail-
road, which would *mean cheap
transportation. The men who are
backlog the proposition realize that
unless they strike steamshovel
proposition they cannot hope to
compete with the cheap carriage
of the foreign country, and are
going ahead with systemic develop
ment.
The most common use of potash
is a fertilizer to restore old farm
lands that have been robbed of
their most nutritive qualities by the
reckless and improvident methods
that have Obtained until recently.
One of the best buyers of potash
is the grower of citrus fruits in
southern California who finds it
necessary TO keep constantly
ratur ming to the soil some of the
elements that add to his revenue.
The United States genealogical
slrvey issued pamphlet expressing
the ballet that large deposits
wOlld eventually be found in the
arid cGun,ry which is so rich in
other Industrial minerals. This
bureau of the Interior department
has been hampered by constantly
dimionishing appropriations which
curtail the usefulness of the
division or the work of prosps CT
ing for potash would have received
mach greater stimulus than it has.
If congress provides the funds q
thorough exploration will be m ade.
Nevada i rich in salire lands while
the eastern end of Inyo county,
Calf ,rGia. abounds with borax,

A WORD PERSONAL.

During the past few days my name
has been used i'm the press of the State
in connection with the appointm to
the position of commissioner of agrl-
culture to succeed Col. E. ]. Watson.
One newspaper carried an editorial
stationg that two other gentlemen had
been mentioned in connection with the
position, and intimated that their
names had been used as a blind, and
that T was slated for the position.
In Justice ITO Governor Blease, Col.
Watson and myself, feel that should
say THAT I have no knowledge what
ever of Governor Blease's attitude in
this matter. That I do not know
whether he intends to ask Mr.. Wat
sons resignation or not, and that II
he does, or if Mr.. Watson should re-
sign, I have no knowledge as to whar
will be Governor Blease's attitude as
no his successor. I have had no con-
ference with him and have not discuss
ed the matter AIT all, have no knoWl-
edge Of what his intentions are, and
have not been an applicant for any
position.

A MARRIAGE LICENSE LAW.

Opposition to marriage license law
for South Carolina has been based
upon a nlisapprehension as to its pur-
pose and probable results. That at
last the legislature should have dis
regarded the objections which have
been raised against the enactment of
such statute is gratifying. The meas
ure now needs only the signature OF
Governor Blease to become law. We
do not recall whether or not the gov
ernor has expressed himself On this
subject, but it is ITO be hoped that he
will refrain from th'e exercise here OF
his power ito veto.-NeWs and Courier.
We are surprised THAT the News and
Courier does not recall the platform
upon which Governor Blease stood in
his campaign, and which was reiteraIt-
ed in his inaugural address only II
days ago. Mr.. Blease strongly urged
"either a marriage certificate, or the
registration of all marriages in the
Office of the clerk of court in the coun-
ty in which the marriage takes place, -
saying he had been advocating this
for some years."
We had thought, Judging by srhe
News and Couriers editorial upon the
inaugural address, that it had made a
stronger impression upon the News
and Courieris editorial mind.
We agree with the News and Courier
that the law is needed, and we have
been urging such law to the extent
OF our ability. We believe it will re-
suit dn great good to the State.

I was just thinking how few men
realize how big and strong and valu-
able and helpful is the ''streak O. fat'
they are getting when they persuade
some good woman to become a help
meet to them and to share the sorrows
and the joys of life. And then how true
it is that too often some big shouting
saint is willing to write down every
other fellow as a sinner or scoffer who
prefers to go 2?"-g q~ictly and attend
to his own business and help those
who need his help. Mos+ men buy a
gold mine O. a gold brick or some
thing like it at some time or other in
their lives, but SO few keep it and pay

of lest how big fool man can be an

We have not heard of any move

ask the Newberry delegation to pass
an act submitting to the people of the
county the question of turning over
the old court house for this purpose
upon the same conditions as were con-
tanned in the act last year, whic:1 was
of no effect because those charged with
the duty failed to order the election.
We believe if the matter were prop
erly presented to the people of the
county they would vote for such a dis
position Of the building. It ought to
be improved in some. way, Or torn

THE CASE OF REPRESENTATIVE

Florence Times, who is member OF
the lower house Of the general as
sembly, and who resigned his position
as trustee of the Industrial School for
BOYS at Florence shortly after Gov
ernor Blease's message asking for an
Investigation into the matter OF mem
bers of the general assembly holding
the Office of trustee of a State institu-
ton i'm violation of the Constitution,
says editorially in the Times:
<@Governor Blease has made a bad
mistake in removing Tom Miller from
the head of the State colored college.
He does not believe in negro education
and i'm Justice to his race Tom Miller
urged that Mr.. Blease was not the
man to be made governor. He was
forcib1y removed by the governor for
"permicious political activity" That
same charge would take many head
off that is in the power of the governor
to remove. He has already practical
" forced the resignation of every
member of a board of trustees OF State
institutions who holds any other Or
fee or appointment under the State,
which is another mistake. The last
constitution, which wanted to get
down to- business and correct every i'll
under the sun in it's provisions, erred
IN the clause, which Mr.. BleaSe draws
attention to, and the educational de-
partment and friends of education all
over the State have urged its repeal
in the interest of the educational IN
stitutions of the State and a bill is now
pending n the general assembly to
REPEAL the unfortunate mistake OF the
constitution Governor Blease says
THAT many of the men thus holding Two
Offices are his personal friends, but 1t
seems to US that they might all be
removed ON the same charge that Tom
Miller was "pernicious political actl-
vity.'' However, if there be am easier
way aud more polite ITO cut head OH
we do not blame the governor for TAX
ing that way. 1t looks better"
We have in very truth, fallen upon
strange tines if a member of the gen.
eraI assenbly-the law-making body
of South Carolina-may disregard a
clause in the fundamental law OF
South Carolina, the constitution. OF the
State, simply because he thinks that
clause IAN unfortunate mistake" and
upon even more unfortunate times II
the governor makes a ''mistake" when
he urges the enforcement of the con-
stitution, because, forsooth, those af-
fected think the clause which is being
violated is IAN unfortunate mistake" "
