A LARGE COMPANY.
To Work One of the Tin Mines Near
. King's Mountain. v
It is learned here that a company
with half a million 'dollars capital
will exploit a tin . mine' near King s
Mountain.
The new concern is being launched
by Virginia capitalists and promises
to become an important actor in the
mining interests of the state.
Capt. J. W. Foster, president of the
Virginia Scapstone Company at
Schuyler, Nelson county, Virginia,
and monied men of Lynchburg and
Leesburg, Virginia, are' the promoters
of ; the scheme. ' ' : -
The company will be known as the
Blue Ridge Tin Company of King's
Mountain, N. C, capital $500,000.
A careful survey of the King's
Mountain'' property has been made
and analysis shows that the ore pro
duces a larger percentage, of tin
than any inine in Australia or Wales,
and is at the same time the only tin
mine in America, as far as is known.'
. Already this mine is said .to be
yielding a handsome, daily output and
is paying handsomely. ' -. . '
The news of this development will
be received with evident - satisfaction
by! those interested in the industrial
growth of the state, and further de
velopments' will be watched with in

BEFORE THE RECORDER.
An Interesting Case Heard at Today's
Session of the Court. .
The principal case before the Re
corder this morning was that of Messrs
J. K. Wolfe and J.'M. Cross, the latter
haying - previously submitted before
magistrate Cobb," however, and been
fined $3.
Mr Wolfe first took the stand and
told the ' story of the encounter as fol
lows: v' ' v .-' . r,
"I was walking down South Tryon
when Mr. Cross joined me and ques
tioned me about some fertilizer that
I had sold him. Finally Mr. Cross said
to me 'Don't you . know I could indict
you?' -
"I replied, well go ahead, and indict
me."
Mr. Cross seemed to get angry and
he turned about and struck me sev
eral times."
Mr. Cross took the stand and- said
that. he and' Mr Wolfe were talking
about the fertilizer, and that they were
trying to . arrive 'at ah understanding
about it. when Mr. Wolfe said 'Oh,
'pshaw, Don't you know I can get more
for the stuff. Then he called me a dirty
cur or a dirty pimp? !: don't remember
which and I struck at him."
- Mr. Wolfe denied that he had called
Mr Cross anything, and the latter
spoke out in court and said "Well it's
just a matter of, difference of opinion."
The Recorder repliecT IcT Mr."" Cross
saying ' It is.not aquestion of differ
ence of opinion, it Is a question of
facts." i
Mr. WOlf e denied under path that he
he had called Mr. Cross by any oppro
brious epithet whatever, and then the
court announced that both were guilty
of an affray, but the judgment would
be suspended in the, case of Mr. Wolfe,
while Mr. Cross was dismissed having
had a, previous trial; before a magis
trate. "
, ,The trial drew a considerable num
ber of the two men's friends out 'to
hear,, the evidence. .
The case of Lee Davidson was again
called, he being charged with using a
pistol in snaking an attempted deadly
assault. On account of the defendent's
being too sick to' come to court, the
case was postponed until Friday.
Several other cases were called but
the defendants failed to appear.

OF
A' SPLENDID STRUCTURE.
New Iron Bridge Over Creek at Foot
of East Fourth Gtreet.
The new concrete and iron bridge
ever the creek on East Fourth street,
which has just been completed, is
one of the most improved and sub
stantial in the country. The bridge
is - a little different in construction
from the other ones and It,promiss
to be satisfactory in every particular.
Instead of constructing the bridge
of solid concrete arches as the ones
over the creek on Elizabeth Avenue
and Seventh street, it has concrete
abutemehts with a solid iron drive
way. The three abutments for the
bridge proper are built several feet
below the bed of the . creek, giving a
solid foundation. A ' ; -
The structure is 40 feet wide, giv
ing enough space for the passage of
five or six vehicles, and nearly 1U
feet long. Not a piece of wood was
UFed in its constructionr The floor
is laid with rock giving the appear
ance of an - unbroken macadamized
load. ..:';':! .;
. The straightening of Providence
road approac ig the bridge from Mr.
McD. Watkins residence lias been de
layed several weeks but will be re
sumed shortly. Upon .completion this
highway will be one of the finest ap
proaches to the city- It is, perhaps,
used more than any Other leading to
Charlotte.. It extends a distance of
about 12 miles and is used by citizens
of both Union and Anson counties; in
bringing - their products to tne Char
