The narrative claimed that in time far past Borne had hidden six thousand in gold coin and one thegand dollars north of gold dust. The hiding place described corresponded with the ledge in the face of Paint Jtock bluff, sixteen miles below Gun tersville. So the story goes that this Johu Inscor stopped and tapped face of the bluff two hundred feet above the water until on July 4th he struck a cemented recess, which soon yielded to the blows of his hammer and revealed a small sheet iron box containing the treasure as al'eged.The narrator claims that John Inscor left on the 6th for Asheville with the treasure.

"Vice-President Morrow is au thority for the statement that the first and most substantial wishes of tho company were to establish the industry in Hrvson City, but repeated efforts in that direction have proven so futile that the idea ot locating hero is almost aban doned. "Said Mr. Morrow yesterday, "all the owners of available pro perty have been asked and begged to sell us sufficient ground upon which to erect our plant, and to sell it upon terms Ilia t at least bear some Indications of reasona bleness, but the prices charged have been so very exorbitant that locating' where we have hoped to establish ourselves is now beyond reason " If a representative of this com pany comes to Marion he should offered such inducements that they cannot afford to go elsewhere. v'e have every advantage for such a plant, and if this company wants to locate at this point the land will be given them and other induce ments: offered.

No free silver in the Platform' A South Carolina judge 1 as set up a new standard of qualification for jury service. In his opinion disbelief in the wisdom or practicability of a law dis qualifies a citizen for serving on a jury when the enforcement of this particu lar law is at issue, no matter if the cit izen declare himself ready to accept the law as it stands and render verdicts un der it in accordance with its terms and the evidence.
