Special to the BONANZA


MANHATTAN. Nov. 5.-The Big
Four mine has easily three years ore
in sight for the new mill the com
pany is about to erect and this on a
basis of treating $50 tons a day In
fact, it looks more like there was
five years ore in sight than three.
AT present on one dump there are
800 tons of ore that will plate $50
a ton. On another there are $50
tons that will plate 500 a ton. Va

hoisted to 1900 tons or more.

Yesterdays Disturbance of Locsl
Origin.

Charleston. Sept. 6.-According to
statements given out at the local
weather Office last night. the weather
disturbance yesterday was of local
origin. and there is no serious atmos-
pheric disturbance OF any sort in
sight. Many people became alarmed
yesterday at the rumor which became
current In the city To the effect that
a storm was brewing. and many tele-
phone messages were received by The
News and Courier and by the weather
office for news of the storm"
There was high wind here yester-
day. the velocity at one time being
thirty-six miles an hour. The rain
fall from a. IN. to- s p. M was l.54
inches. the heaviest reported on the
South Atlantic coast. Temperatures
were below normal the greater part OF
the day.
Forecaster Scott said hast night that
he had examined the reports from
other cities on the coast thoroughly.
and could see no signs Of an APP
preaching disturban of any violence.
An Inquiry was made OF Capt. Staples.
OF the Clyde Liner Apache. which
came In yesterday, as to the weather
conditions outside. and Capt. Staples
ssid that. while there was some rough
weather. II was nothing out Of the
ordinary. Forecaster Scott said that
the disturbance yesterday was local
only.
The forecast for today Is a con-
unuance Of yesterdays rain weather
although II Is not expected that the
wind will be so high.

prouuct VIII experience great disap-
polntment in the near future, and
| tnlnk that the farmer who i going tn
| buy any old seed and treat them any
| ola way had better let the staple
| business alone.
On account of the great productive-
ness Of the new staple varieties and
the very high premiums which have
prevailed for the past year or two.
ana "hlch seem likely to prevail next
season, you may expect to see the
staple industry expand enormously
within the next few years in this sec
tlon. The greatly increased supply
which will probably be available
within the next two years will al
most surely bring down premiums to
very moderate figure; and I expect
that inferior, wasty staples will be
very hard to sell within a compara-
lively short time. l do not believe.
however, that the farmer who is care
iul 10 raise a uniform and high grade
product. will ever have any difficulty
IN dlsposing of it at profitable
premium over short cotton. But
cannot too strongly emphasize my be-
lief that only those exercising proper
care in the selection of their seed
and the handling of their product may
expect success with this industry.
There are several other varieties of
staples besides those mentioned by
the writer, which are planted to a
certain extent in different parts Of
the State, and the writer has heard
good reports Of several Of these. He
has had, however, no recent expert
ence with any of these except Burns
Long Staple which in our tests
last season TODD among the six high
est yielders of % varieties. but only
produced l 1-16 inch staple.
In closing, l wish TO say that the
buyer Of staple cotton has no cas-,
job. The handling of this product is
an entirely separate and distinct
business from the handling of short
cotton, and is far more difficult. The
actual labor of handling staple cot
ton is very great, and it cannot usual
ly be turned over daily like short
cotton. The farmers ought, there
fore, to.move the staple crop much
more slowly than they have been ac-
customed to moving the short crop,
for If staples are rushed to market in
great volume during a short period,

Twenty Years.

I"0nty Years.
People were greatly addicted to pat
ent medicines 100 years ago, and
case that was tried in 1917 in Eng
land gives some idea of the pill taking
proclivities of the time. An apothecary
sued one Samuel Jessup for payment
of a long standing account. The bill
extended to ffty-five closely written
columns and showed that in twenty
years he took 226.934 pills, beginning
with the modest number of twenty
nine a day and advancing by easy
stages to q daily consumption of sew
enty-eight. During the same period he
consumed 10000 bottles of mixtures,
besides juleps. electuaries and other
infallible specifics. The apothecary
won the day, but Jessup died soon
afterward at the age of sixty-fve. no
