one need doubt that the property
will be developed, and it is more
than likely that the promoters know
what they are doing. 1t takes money
to develop such properties, but if the
development is undertaken with suf-
ficieut means, intclligently and on
the scientific assurance that there is
merit in the properties, success is at
least as certain as in any other bust

full of opportunities in mineral de-

u KAOLIN VEIN.

The people of Abbeville have in.
dulged in some wild talk concerning
the kaolin vein discovered on the
edge of the city and running through
the very centre Of the city.
The facts are that a Northern CAPT
talist who has been mining for mics
near Iva, Anderson county, became
interested in a kaolin vein in the city
through the agency Of Mr.. ]. F. Ed
monds. The properties on which
the find was located were bought fol
a chicken farm, dairying purposes OF
under some other ruse. Analysis o
the kaolin shows it to be as good az
the best in the South and it IS est
mated that there are more than
million tons. Some of the ore is suit
able for making fine chinaware and
much of it is suitable for fire bricks
An operating company has beer
chartered with a capital of $4,000
Beside the commissions paid Messrs
R. S. Link and J. F. Edmunds or
the sale of the property, Mr.. Ed
munds is to get a deed to a nice house
and lot located on part of the prop
erty and two per cent. on the output
