Looks Like Gold Ore.

If a specimen of rock which
bore evidence of containing gold
that was exhibited on the streets
Tuesday by ]. j. Bales should
turn out to be the real article.
it would not be surprising to
see a veritable California gold
rush" to the Pleasant Valley sec
tion within a short time.
The discovery of supposedly
gold-bearing ore was made some
days ago while Mr.. Bales was
overseeing some work in a Sc
cluded part of his Valley farm.
Several pieces of the rock were
collected by Mr.. Bales and these
will be given expert eXamina-
tion to determine what, if any,
value they may have.
In the meantime, Mr.. Bales,
while not hunting a buyer, will
consider, in strictest confidence,
all bids for the purchase of his
Pleasant Valley farm.

THE Cotton BOND BILL

For some days The Intelligencer has
refrained from commenting on the
proposed bond bill, which originally
contemplated bond issue of $25.000,-
600 TO buy or lend on cotton This was
later changed to $4,000 900. and at
one time II seemed that this would be
passed. Now the latest amendment has
changed the issue to $24 900 900, and
this will doubtless be passed and sub
mitted TO the voters OF the State at
the general election next Tuesday
II is absurd to think that there is
any wisdom in submitting a matter
Of such grave concern to the voters
of the State after only four days of
notice. Not one half the people o. the
State are subscribers to the daily
newspapers, and nearly every county
newspaper in the State has been is
sued the last time before the lection
Tuesday. SO IL the legislature should
pass this bill. and IL should be sent
out to be voted on next Tuesday, there
will be thousands OF votes of unin-
formed voters cast either for or
against the measure.
The following editorials appeared
In The News and Courier and The
State:
LeglsIating Millions I'm Jigtime.
(The News and Courier)
This is Friday. Next Tuesday the
general election will be held. It is
stated that the people of South Caro-
lima will be called on at that time, four
days hence. including today-to vote
on the most important financial tran
sactfon which has never been before
them It is proposed to issue millions
Of dollars Of bonds. Just how many
millions nobody knows as yet. Just
how they are to be issued Is yet to be
determined. For what purpose they are
to be used Is another matter about
which we are still to be enlightened
The Senate wants to make Il S35, 5,000,-
600 and buy cotton outright at 10 cents
a pound. The House wants to make II
$24 100000 and lend money on cotton
at cents a pound There are q great
many details, OF course. The House
and the Senate are not agreed about
those either. Still, both bodies are
bent on doing something and doing
II quick. What's s11 100000 more or
less? What's cent a pound more or
less? What difference does II make
whether the State owns the cotton II
puts out its money for or is merely
gcing to hold II for an indefinite peri
od--say five years or ten years OF
twenty years or any other trifling per-
ioG OF time? The people are calling
for action, or some Of the Legislators
think they are. and SO they must have
1t, regardless Of cost. And the Gen.
eral Assembly has at least two whole
days in which to fix up the matter. The
voters to whom 1t is to be referred for
ratification will have at least anoths
er day in which to consider 1t. Who
said snap Judgment? Out with the lag
gard!
