A True Indictment

A good friend of ours, once a
resident of Gafney and there
fore an admirer Of her people
and the people of the South in
general, who now lives in Phila-
delphia, sent US the other day a
clipping from the Philadelphia
Inquirer, which, in our ludg-
ment. hits the nail on the head;
Our friend evidently is aroused
over the matter, as his letter IN
dicates that he does not agree
with the sentiments expressed
in the article, but we are here to
admit that the indictment is
true-every' word of it. We
are really ashamed of our peo-
pIe that they should plead with
the people of other sections tor
aid in the manner in which
they have when there is no ne
cessity to do so. Cotton has
sold for a less price than is be-
inc offered for it today and we
did not beg and whine to be
taken care Of. We have been
in a thousand times worse shape
financially and otherwise than
we are today and we scorned to
ask our friends in the North and
East to come to our rescue. AS
a matter of fact The Ledger de-
sires that the farmers of the
South obtain every penny they
can for their cotton crop, but
we want them to obtain it in a
manly manner and not be de-
pendent upon any one. Our
people are too proud and self
reliant to appeal to the people of
any other section of this great
country of ours for help unless
some real calamity overtakes
US, and this has not been the
case as yet. We submit the re-
marks of the Inquirer:
Appeals from all parts of the
South have come to the North
and many a Philadelphia ask
ing that cotton be bought for
ten cents a pound and held for
a rise while planters e making
their annual settlements. Other
wise we are assured the South
will be bankrupt.
When we consider that for
generations the South has had
the best cash crop in the world
and that for ten years cotton
has been raised at a great profit,
the impotence of Southern
financial institutions to care for
the crop is significant. Itshows
that the South has not well con-
served it's resources. The West
has not sent appeals for help in
caring for it's wheat and corn
crops because the thrifty farm
ers have managed to get into
good position, and Western
financial institutions rival those
of the East in banking power.
The South has ever lived on the
come easy go easy plan and
never has accumulated sur
plus for emergencies.
1T is quite true that wheat is
up and cotton is down on &C
count of the war, but it is,
nevertheless, no credit to the
South that it is in such poor
strategic position. All the time
the Southern statesmen have
been railing at the financial in
stitutions of the East and con-
demning Wall street to perdi-
ton, there has been no effort to
do anything but raise cotton.
Now the South can raise almost
everything that grows, has coal
and iron and plenty of natural
resources. The plain truth is
that the average Southerner is
not constructive financier.
Now he appeals to the formerly
derided financial centres for aid
not in the ordinary manner, but
begs, hat in hand, for dribs of
monev from individuals. y

above high tide level. Neither the APP
pearance of the mass nor its geologic
relations and structure offer very clear
suggestions as TO its nature or origin,
but it is supposed to represent the res
idlIal portion of large vein of barite,
extending parallel to the schistosity of
the rock in the adjacent island, which
is composed mainly of schist.
The barite, where fresh. is for the
most part a finely crystalline, grayish-
white rock with thin grayish- blue veins
and thin black streaks. A little of the
barite is coarsely crystalline and white
in color, and some white quartz is pres
ent in thin seams and small segrega-
tions of dark minerals, among which are
galena, sphalerite, magnetic, and graph
lite. On weathered surfaces the material
is stained with iron rust resulting from
the oxidation of the iron pyrites. The
powdered barite is grayish white in col
or and under lens shows many parti-
Giles of metallic sulphides.
Assays show percentages of precious
metals too low to classify the barite as
a metalliferous ore, and therefore its
commercial value will depend on the
quality and marketability of the metal
itself.

IT'S A MISTAKE
Made by Many Barre Residents

Many people in a misguided
effort to get rid of kidney back
ache, rely on plasters, liniments
and other makeshifts. The right
treatment is kidney treatment,
and a remarkably recommended
kidney medicine is Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Barre is no exception.
The proof is at your very door.
The following is an experience
typical of the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills in Barre.
Mrs. May Bond, So Elm street,
Barre, VT, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills were first brought to
my attention when | read in the
local paper how citizens of Barre
had been cured of kidney trou-
BILE by them. At the time l had
sharp twinges of pain across the
small of my back. | knew that
these were caused by weak kid
neys, so | got Doan's Kidney
Pills and used them as directed.
From the first they did me good
and soon | was cured"

DISCOVERY OF BARITE.
Deposit of Heavy Spar" Found in
Southeastern Alaska.

An interesting deposit of barite, or
"heavy spar" was discovered by Ernest
F. Burchard, of the geological survey,
while searching for marble deposits in
southeastern Alaska in September, 1918.
This barite is situated on one of the
Castle islands, in Duncan canal, long,
narrow bay three to ten miles west of
the well known Wrangell Narrows, and
is, by navigable waterways, about 40
miles northwest of the town of Wran-
CELL. There is little in the appearance
of the deposit to suggest that it is other
than cliff of weather beat ten, fractured
limestone, and it is probable that fisher
men have sailed past it or have anchored
their boats in its lee for more than
generation. never suspecting that it is
composed almost wholly of barium sui
phate, a mineral that is very useful but
is much less common than those that
make up the bulk of rock masses. At
any rate there was no evidence that
the deposit had ever been prospected
prior to the visit of the survey party.
The material must be handled to be APP
preciated. 1t is little softer than lime
stone but about 2-3 times as heavy.
The rock mass formed by the barite
stands as block connected with one of
the islands by low, narrow neck, about
300 feet long, that is covered by water
to depth of to 10 feet at high tide.
The top of this barite CUTLER stands
about IS feet above hightide level, and
the mass is possibly at the maximum IS
feet wide and 200 feet long. According
to rough calculation based on measure
ments by pacing, there should be more
than 10000 short tons of barite available
