. A Hunt That; Never Ends.
P-fotimore American. :
Long before Jason started out in
search of the golden fleece it is pro
bable that expectations were formed
to hunt for traditional money pots,
supposed to have been buried in the
earth or sunk in the waters by some
earlier pirate or laud robber A.nd
since Jason's day and up to and in
to this twenieih 'century treasure-
hunting expeditions have, been con
tinuously fitted out. It is not in the
records that many of these search
enterprises have succeeded. The
fabuious golden store which Captain
Kidd is supposed t have concealed
either under the water or along the
shore has been searched for from the
coast of Newfoundland to the north
efn shore of South America, and
doubtless generations unborn will
7
keep up the hunt.
The searching expedition which
is being fitted up in this city is not
to start onthat ancient wild-goose
chase after the Captain, Kidd treas
ure. - The prize, however, consist
ing of $1,000,000 iu gold and about
$500,000 in diamonds; which Lord
Curu wells in his direful mind im
mediately preceeding the surrender
at Yorktown is supposed to have
dropped in the York River and
never to have returned for is worth
koine after.' That is, it would bej
worth going after if it were-ieally
there.
Without pausing to inquire why
the British1 general was so sumptu
ously stocked with diamonds, it may
be remarked; that if that copper box
of treasure was really dropped over
board ; preceding the surrender, ft
was probably afterward surreptiti
ously fishecl up or otherwise it would
long ago have been brought to the
surface by v some lucky oystermen
But, anyhow, the York River is not
far to seek, and .Corn wall is is quite
as likely to have dropped a box of
goldcoinslnto the water as Captain
Kidd.

MR. WHITE RESIGNS FROM
HIGHWAY COMMISSION:
To the Board of Commissioners of
Alamance Countv: .
Atter the bond--issuev to improve
t he roads : of our- County had been
voted you : honored . me by electing
me as-one of the' li. igh way Comm is
sioners of Alamance Countyi Upon
the organization of that Commission,
"was" ejected secretary; and tae du
ties ot this position, and as a mem-
ber of the Commission I have en
deavored to do mv full duty, and.
-
in th? endea or I have spared neith
er time nor thought. From recent
happenings I am convinced that I
can no longer be of any use to ray
Couuty, and its people by longer
continuing on the Highway Com
mission, as my views are so at. vari
ance "with the majority of the Com
mission. To remain on the Com
mission and to continueHo insist on
my views, would cause endless fric-
tiouand as an honest man; I cannot
remain without so iusistiug, and so
under the -..circumstances-. I believe
that I should" resign, nd therefore,
I hereby tender rnyjresignation as a
member of the : Highway Commis-.
sioir to take . effect immediately.
As I have above called attention
to the fact that 1" was . elected and
have acted as Secretary to the Com
mission, I want to further state, that
while my labors as Secretary were
heavyV yet I received only the. com
pensation paid to every other mem
ber of th" Commission. ; .- :
Very respectfu)ly,
