The following? from the Green ville News of recent date seems to indicate that something in the mineral line w’orth working luis at last been discovered in the Blue Ridge mountains. This sec tion has long been known as the “sample chest,’’ for all known metals, but nothing has ever yet been found of sufficient quantity and quality to warrant the intro duction of machinery to w’ork it. We sincerely hope that this vein may prove all that its discoverers hope for it, because its develop ment will be of vast benefit to this county—not alone in added business but in the development of various mineral leads which are known to exist here. We shall watch with interest the fu ture of this “tind:” * * Fcjurteen miles of iron ore. an alyzing from G3 to G9 per cent, in the mountains above Greenville! And the best part of the find is that there seems to be no ifs tied to the future development of these deposits which appear to be the richest of their kind in the United States, and second only to a pocket mine in Spain which shows a slightly higher analysis. When developed this city^is the logical site for headquarters of the company, and it is not too much to hope for a big smelting plant. A railway to the moun tains and across the ridges to the coal fields of the Central West would appear to be an incident to the development of the iron prop erty. The stoi-y seems too great to be ti’ue. It promises so much for G reenville and South Caroli na that the reader is apt to feel like taking it with a little salt. And yet the ore is there. It has been analyzed by conservative chemists in Philadelphia, and of the several samples tested the figures are those mentioned, proving the ore to be of the best in the w’orld. Only the report of an expert on iron mining is re quired to make the future cer tain. Col. R. E. Johnstone, now a resident of Greenville, and one of the biggest lumber dealers in the South, discovered the deposits of ore on the side of a mountain road some months ago, while inspect ing some of the vast tracts of timber in which he is interested. At first he paid little attention to the ore, Lut finding that the veins seemed to extend on indefinitely, he decided to follow up the de posits, with the result that the (jre has been traced for fourteen miles. It is of two qualities. The first is very heavy and high ly magnetic, while the other is non-m igneticand of alight brown color, known as brown hematite ore. The specimens analyzed in Philadelphia several days ago were taken from different parts of the mountain. There was no material difference in the per centage of iron secured, the ore from the deeper stratas showing up slightly better than that pick ed up on the surface. If the exhamination made by the mining experts pans out as experienced iron miners believe it will, there is no telling what the developments of the property will mean for Greenville. Al ready it has been hinted by cer tain steel officials in Pennsylvania that J^5,000,000 would be given for the property as it stood, but Colonel Johnstone and his associ ates did not show any desire to sell and there is no telling how’ many millions of dollars may be hidden beneath the crest of the mountain. W^hen it is remem bered that iron ore analyzing as high as 45 and 50 per cent is con sidered worth working, the lay man gets an idea of what this property in the Blue Ridge moun tains may mean in the iron and steel business. In all respects the property is favorably situated for develop ment. WHiile Colonel Johnstone, for business reasons, preferred not to tell just where the ore could be found, he intimated that the output would probably find its w’ay dow’n the mountains over a railway to this city. The con struction of such a !ine would be a mere incident. Both coal anti lime are needed in smelting iron (n’e, and these are w’ithin com par atively easy reach of the proper ty, coal fields not being more than one hundred miles distant. Lime occurs in the form of stone in tlie vicinity of the iron veins. The expert isex))ected to come down from Philadelphia in the course of a few days, and will be taken to the iron mountain b^\ Colonel Johnstone. There ht will pitch his camp and the inves tigation will begin. The idea ol this expert’s visit is to ascertain the extent of the ore veins and their position This will be done by boring and pits, wiiich will be sunk at intervals across the mountain. Colonel Johnstone has no doubt but that the property will be de veloped. The only question seems to be, by w’hom. This de pends on the offers the present owners get from the steel com pany. If the lump sum made' for the property is large enough, there may be a sale, or on the other hand the development may be done on the royalty plan, or by a company organized by Colo nel Johnstone and his associates. Unless the ore lies differently from that found in Alabama or anywhere else, there are millions of tons in the mountains end it means the biggest th'ng that could happen for Greenville.

Shall tlie llnilrondH Continue to Con trol the Conntry f The reconinieiidatiou of President Roosevelt to cougres.s on the (luestiou of railroad rate regulation is not as strenuous as was expected, hut If con gress follows bis suggestions in the law it will pass enough power avIII he given the inters-tate cominer<‘o comniissioii to somewhat protect the peoi>le and ship pers from the w'orst evils that have grown up under corporate (loiniuatiou. The simple question to b(‘ settled hy congress is. Shall the p<‘0ple coutrol the corporations thcj' have crca'od or shall the corporations he allowc*d to continue without supervision? The sovereignty' of the i)oople must he restored, for It is an anomaly iu a dem ocratic repuhlic to continue to allow its creatures, the corporations, to he iude- j>endent of its control and poruiitted to continue to plunder the people who have unwittinglj* granted them the power. President lloosevelt has fol lowed the declarations of Democratic platforms iu his argument for control of the railroads, for he sajs: “The laws of the congress and of tlie several states hitherto as passed upon by the courts have resulted more often in showing that the states have no power in the matter than tliat the na tional government h.'ts power, so that there at i)resent exists a very unfortu nate condition of things, under vrhioh these great corporations doing an inter state business occupy the posii*on of subjects without a sovereign, neither any state government nor the national government having effective control over them. Our .‘Steady aim should ho by legislation, cautiously and carefully undertakpn. but resolutely persevered in. to assert the sovereignty of the na tional government by atTirmativo ac tion. "This is only in form an innovation. In substance it is merely .i restoration, for from the earliest time such regula tion of industrial activities has been recognized iu the action of the lawmak ing bodies, and all that I propose is to meet the changed conditions iu such manner as will prevent the conimon- vrealth abdicating the power it has al ways possessed not only in this couutrj'. but also in England Ix't’ore and since this country became a sei»arate nation." That is gaod solid I^emocratic ground, and its adoption by an independent jjresident is a hard nut for a Ilepub- lican congress to crack. That it dislikes to undertake it is certain, but it hard ly dares oppose it. The railroad corporations may (piib- ble and suggest a compromise on this paramount issue, but congress has the I*ower to protect the people, and noth ing less will satisfy the voters. The Ilepublican majority in congress is on trial, and if it compromises on any es sential [)oint and attempts to prevent the people from exercishig their full sovereignty over the corporal ions the isstie will be settled at the <*ongres- sional elections next fall. The voters by-that time will know who ;’.re to be trusted, and it is (-('rtain that the Dem ocrats will not found wanting. Look Out For Sqanl'tK. Look ahead for financial S(}ualls out of the present clear sky. If Tiussia should fail to pay the interest on her $2,000,000,000 of bonds held outside of liussia there will be a panic on the French and German bourses v.hicli would protmbly affect New York and London and make money tight for a lime. Pay your debts and don't incur any more at present. This K<*pti1>lican prosperity that they boast of so much is like a child’s balloon, and a pin prick will cause collapse. I'ufortunate- l.v, too, the foundation is rotten, for it rests on special privilege and frenzied finance, in Avhich the l>anks and trust companies and life insurance corpora tions are all combined with Republican politicians to plunder the people. Rennlt of Protection. In France the government is investi- gathig the cause of the decline of popu lation, and a report to the economic subcommittee declares that the policy of protection has rendered the t'ondi- tions of life harder. The figure's amass ed and analyzed shovr that "not 5 per cent” of the Frencli peo])Ie reap any advantage from the protective tariff, while all the rest pay tribute under it. It is estimated tliat on b.read and meat alone this “unseen” tax takes $10,000.- 000 a year from the people and a simi lar amount with most of the other nec essaries of life. Under such circum stances no wonder there is a reluctance to increase the number of mouths to be fed. Are we approaching like condi tions from the same causes? France intends to pat Castro on the wrist a few times before she slaps him in the face. New York “State officials” are not genuine now’ unless they bear the trade mark “Made in Wash ington.” If Senator Tillman fails to get one of those 10,000 invitations to the White House w'edding, he will feel snubbed. Pooltny Bigelow forgets that only Standard Oil magnates are l>rivileged to handle legal ques tions flippantly. A correspondent asks “Is there anything in palmistryy” Well, there is a pretty fair living in it for the palmists. If the Pcinama people dig into the Isthmus as hard as they have into Bigelow, thej’^ may do some thing toward a canal. If leader W^ill iams cannot cor ral the minority in the House of Representatives, it is no use for any other person to try it. It is tolerably safe to assume t hat 1 he attorney.s in the Green and Gaynor case, will not raise the question of taintetl money. Fairbanks still holds the Indi ana organization against Bever idge. “Ice’’ evidently cuts more of a figure than “talk” in Indiana. Arizona seems to prefer to be -roverned by W'ashington author ties, than to hav’e New’ Aloxico lo that stunt. Do you blame ler? Speaker Cannon need not (*x pect a complimary notice in the next issue of the “Arizona Kick er.” “Maud’’will look tame by ts side. “Of course Dr. Roosevelt didn’t lave any license” snys Mr. vSpooner, “but Santo Domingo vvas crying for a dose of soothing -^yrup. ” Tlie Liberal landslide in Eng- land ought to make the American Democrats take heart. It just "how’s what the “outs"’ can do vvhen the people get tired of the “ins” Tiiey are making a gcnxl deal »f fuss ovei- the fact that both Senators Platt and Dep^w ap peared in the Seniite on the same >iay, although there is nothing iti the record to show’ that they in terfered in ;my manner with the re^ruLir order of business. There is more Catarrh in this sec- rion of the couiiry than all other dis ease's put togetlier, and until the last tew years was supposed to be incur able. For a great mu ny years doctors pronounced it a loc.il disease and pres(‘rib<‘d h'cul remedies, and hy constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it ineurnble. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney it Co., Tt)ledo, Ohio, ! is the only constitutional cure on ; the market. It is t;>ken internally in dos'es from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood ami mucous surfMces of the system. They ofier one hundred dollars tor lanvcaseit fails to cure. .S<^nd for J • ' circulars and testimonials. Atldress: I F. J. Cmkxev &.
