LARGEST CIRCULATION IN
EDGEFIELD COUNTY.

County Democratic Convention

The county Democratic conven-
tion met Monday with 1Oosdelegates
present, all Of the 20 clubs being
fully represented The convention
was formally organized by the elec-
ton of b. f. Nicholson as presi.
dent and !. l.. Minis and S. ]. Wat
son secretaries. Resolutions were
adopted endorsing S. T. Carter,
State treasurer, and J. Z. Swearin-
gen. State sup rintendent OF educa-
ton. and Commenting them for
their faitEfulness as servants of the
people. The following delegates
were elected to the State conven-
tion: B. E. Nicholson, ]. A. Lott,
]. IL. Allen, B. K. Tlllman, B. d.
lIitchings aud !. P. DeLaughter.
The Edgetieid delegation was in.
s,ructed to vote as a unit in lha
state convention. A. +. Padgett
was elected member Of the State
executive committee.
The length Of the supervisors
term of office. Thether two or four
years, was generally discussed and
the sentiment of the convention was
strongly in favor Of making the
term four years. Supervisor A. a.
Edmunds was present and gave his
reasons for conteGdinG for four
years, reading letters from the at
torney general giving the law bear
ing upon the matter. While no
definite action was taken by the
convention relative to placing this
office in the primary it is practical
)y certain that there will be no elec
tion for county supervisor until
1916. Mr.. Edmunds will hold the
office for two more years. In this
connection it is but proper to state
. that the ;aw fixes the term Of office
for the county commissioners the
same as that for supervisor, their
term then being four years al this
county.
The convention was altogether
harmonious. Immediately after the
convention adjourned meeting of
the executive committee was held,
being presided over by :. +. Mich
olson, the county chairman, w. L.
Lott was elected secretary and A.
+. Padgett treasurer. The office
Of magistrate was placed in the pri-
mary and 4 resolution adopted TO
the effect that no ballots will be
counted in thesprimary Cor ma@is-
trate unless cast III the district in
which the voter resides. Ballots
for magistrate must also he cast in
a separate box. A subsequent meet
in% Of the executive committee will
he called to arrange the campaign
meetings, fl x the assessments OF
candidates and appoint the election
managers.

GRAPHITE IN OUR INDUSTRIES

Graphite or plumbago, next to dia-
mond the most refractory of all va
rieties of carbon, is a mineral of
great and increasing industrial i'm
portance. The island Of Ceylon, of
the coast of India, is the worlds
greatest graphite producing center,
and the United States absorbs about
one-half of its product. other far
off countries that contribute graphite
to our industries are Korea, in west
ern Asia, and the French island of
Madagascar, off the east coast of
Africa, and in spite of political up
heavals northern Mexico has con
tinued to contribute important sup
plies. These large drafts on foreign
sources, amounting in 1913 to 49,
$40 short tons, valued at $2,109,791,
are in marked contrast to the small
domestic production of natural
graphite, which in 1913 was only
4,775 tons, valued at $293,756, ac-
cording to a statement by the Unit
ed States geological survey. AS it
has been fully demonstrated that
natural graphite occurs in our coun-
try in practically inexhaustible
quantities, the qeustion arises, why
should our industries be so depend
ent on foreign supplies? The reason
lies in the mechanical difficulty in
concentrating the American product.
Most of the graphite found in this
country occur as small flakes in
banded rocks known as schists. The
graphite forms only 5 to 10 per cent
by weight of the rock, and the crush
ing of the rock and clean separation
of the graphite flakes have proved
commercially successful only in a
few favored places. A number of
new methods are now being tried,
which it is hoped will prove more eff
ficient-notably the e~lectrostatic pro-
cess that has been applied with so
much success to the treatment OF
zinc ores.

Charlie Huber, associated with

ty, is in Reno attending the celebra-
ton. Mr.. Huber stated hal all the
properties at Rand, which have been
at all developed were in line to be-
come producers; in fact, nearly all
of them had commercial ore in sight
with excellent prospects of uncover
ing material of higher grade. There
are about thirty men in camp, most
of whom are developing their own
claims.
On the Lost Hope the values are
increasing as depth is attained and

THAT HERCULES
NINE WILL BE WORKED

The Record-Courier is informed
that word was received at Marklee-
Vile a few days ago that the owners
of the Hercules mine are about to be-
gin work on their property near
Loope. Some years ago this COM
pany was organized and the prop
erty then known as the Colorado
mine was purchased and consider
able one was expended in open
ing up and equipping the mine, to-
gether with the erection of an cleo
trio plant and dam. Work on the
property continued for some time,
but with very little success, due, 1T
is said. to the laundering of the man
placed in charge. Those who are
acquainted with the old Colorado
mine and it's early day record are
sure that with proper management
it will again become a producer.
The people of the upper section
are anxious to see the property work
ed, and while there is nothing au-
thentic about the report that the
mine is again to be worked. it is be-
lieved that the rumor bears ear
marks of truthfulness. = Gardner

suited are dependent on the purity
and physical character of the mate
rial. The fiaky and ibrous graphite
from Ceylon finds it's principal use in
the manufacture of graphite cruel
bles used in the steel, bronze and
similar industries. The fiaky graph
lite from Madagascar Is also used
mainly in crucibles, but the earthly
graphite from Mexico is used prin-
cipally in paints. for ~lubricating, and
in pencil manufacture and is not
adapted for crucibles.
The percentages of the worlds pro-
duction of graphite used for various
purposes have been estimated as fol-
lows: Crucibles, So per cent; stove
polish, 10 per cent; foundry facings,
10 per cent; lead pencils, 5 per cent;
paint, 5 per cent; lubricants, 5 per
cent; all other uses, 5 per cent.
The shortcomings of the United
States in the production of natural
graphite are in part atoned for by
the large amounts of graphite pro-
duced in the electric furnaces at Nj
agara Falls. From its commercial
inception in 1897 the industry of
manufacturing graphite has grown
rapidly until in 1913 the output was
valued at nearly a million dollars.
The various grades of manufactured
graphite are adapted to practically
all the uses to which graphite has
been applied, except crucible making.

the production of graphite in 1913,
just issued by the United States geo.

ties. uses and origin of graphite. re-
