Gold Mines.

The long dormant mineral resources
Of South Carolina seem to be attract
ing at this time a considerable share
Of attention abroad. Within the past
few weeks several gold prospects
have been sold to northern companies
at figures which would indicate that
said propositions are Of decidedly
captivating nature. The northern and
western sections Of this district offer
rare inducements, we are informed
for investing in gold mining adven-
lures. The Broad River boundaries
are pronounced to be rich in fine
specimines Of the yellow ore. The
owners Of this property cordially invite
those who have the means to come and
dig it out and pay a reasonable toll.
The YorkviIIe Female Academy.
The spring term of this institution
closed on Thursday, the 26th inst. In
the evening the large hall, decorated
with festoons and wreaths Of ever
greens, was filled with young people
and their friends-the faculty, clergy
and superintendent Of the Kings
Mountain institute, sitting on the plat
form, fanking two fine pianos. Rev
R. B. Anderson. president Of the COL
lege, regretted to inform the audience
that he had been disappointed in the
hope Of having an orator for the occa-
sion and that the faculty under the
circumstances, could only request the
young ladies to invite their friends to
an entertainment of music and to wit
ness the delivery Of prizes and d.
plomas.
Miss Emma Manigault. the accom-
| plisheG teacher of music, deserves
great praise for the brilliant success
of her pupils and the young ladies
will please accept our hearty thanks
for the refined enjoyment the enter
tainment afforded.
Mr.. Anderson, in bestowing the
prizes to the most distinguished
pupils, took occasion to thank his love-
ly pupils generally for the diligence
and good conduct they had exhibited

FEBRUARY BUSINESS
Failures SHOW Increase

The April business digest of the
National Bank OF Delaware says:
For the month of February, busi-
ness failures numbered 2.071 compar
ed with 1856 a year ago and the
total liabilities were 90 million dol
lars compared with only 81 millions a
year ago. The total assets of the
failed concerns We're. however, some-
what larger this year, totaling l6 mil
lion dollars compared with only IL
millions for the concerns falling in
February, 1914. The failure situa-
tiOn, when compared with a year ago,
looms large, but when compared with
December and January Just past, the
/ figures show a decided improvement.
Dividend and interest disburse-
ments for March are estimated at 120
million dollars compared with 115
millions a year ago. Almost 60 mill
lion of dollars Of this amount is divi-
| dends, and more than 60 million dol
/ lars is interest on 1906 million dol
lars of outstanding bonds and notes
Dividends paid will be 1854 million
dollars of stocks. The gain over last
year Is in interest payments. diyi-
dends being practically the same II
is q hopeful sign that dividends foI
