THE SUN HAS DOUBLE THE CIRCULATION OF ANY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN THE TENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, THESUN Has More Than Double The Circulation of Any Weekly Paper ia The Tenth Congres sional District, Comprising Thirteen Large Counties. Sunt. A VISIT TO RUTHERFORDTON. A Correspondent Finds Much To Interest Him On His Visit. (Correspondence of The Spartanburg Herald.) IN MAN, S. C. August 18. I am just ia from a tea days vaca tion and if 1 write anything at all at this time I must write about my re cent trip for I know nothing what ever about what has been doing here at home. On the fourth of August 1 left for Rutherfordton and Chimney Rock, N. C, traveling with Frank Metcalf in his new rubber tired buggy. We drove Frank's fine irou gray horse, ''Brooks," who it must be said, attracted more attention wherever we went than either of us, and only a few hours drive brought us to the capital ot old Rutherford county. It was near here that the writer "first saw the light" and here we tar ried for several days. From Ruther ford ton to Cnimney Rock we traveled the Hickory Nut Gap, one of the most, important highways in the county, and also about the roughest road we found on our entire trip. Chimney Rock is almost an ideal mountain re sort and if it could be reached by rail would be one of the most popular places of the kind in Western North Carolina. There are three hotels now open, the Logan House, the Mountain View Inn and the Esmerelda Inn, and all are full. To each the top of Chim ney Rock one must- climb for a dis tance of a mile and a half and on a hot August day it is certainly no small undertaking. But, accompanied by a guide, we succeeded in making the trip and fe't that we were well re paid for the effort for the view from the top of the chimney is grand and beautiful beyond description. One of the great attractions at Chimney Rock is the Falls, where a stream of water plunges over a rock precipice and falls a distance of over one thousand feet. Last year a lady who was summering at this resort fell or jumped from the preciuice near the falls and her mangled and lifeless body was not recovered until the fol lowing day. Since mv last visit a few years ago, I find that the farmers of Rutherford county have entirely gone out of the tnhacco business. Oi courseldo not mean that the men do not chew or that none of the girls -'dip," but 1 mean that they no longer raise tobac co. I saw only one or two tobacco patches in the county. Ihey raise cotton now up to the very foot of the mountains. But more people seem to be engaged in the lumber business than anythingelse and the town of Rutherfordton is the centre and ship ping point for this immense business. One of the oldest men in Ruther fordton county is Burton Metcalf, our uncle, whom we found well and hearty at the advanced acre of 95 years. We spent two nights at Green Hill with Mr. J . Webb Metcalf. who is a magistrate, township supervisor and United States postmaster and has a most interesting family of live bright boys and two lovely girls. The county of Rutherford has em braced prohibition, theoretically, and the lid is said to be on pretty tightly, but it is understood that those who thirst are supplied by express from Marion regularly twice a week, and thus the cash goes to a neighboring town which should be kept at home. Do we really want this brand of pro hibition in Spartanburg? It is cer tain that we will get no other during the life of the present generation, and possibly we may prefer the dispensary after all, when once the question is fully understood. The people of uutherfordton are very much interested in the proposed railroad from Spartanburg and it is believed that the road with a branch line running up Broad River to Chim ney Rock, will eventually be built. In Rutherford county a poll tax of 92.60 is levied, the road tax is $4.50, or six days work, and a license fee must be paid before one can get himself married: Thus it will be seen that genuine citizenship over in the old Vi-th st.at comes Dreutv hitrh when compared with the cost of the same here ia our own Spartanburg where poll tax is only one dollar, road tax one dollar and marriage is free. Everywhere we went we found kind, open hearted men and women and pretty young girls and of course we enjoyed our trip. Indeed it was with reluctance that we departed for our homes and both Frank and myself are already looking forward to the time when we can visit Rutherford county, U". C, again. Henrietta Happenings. (Special to The Sun.) HENRIETTA, August 21. Born to Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Wilkins last Tues day, a fine girl. Mr. Pink Lovelace visited in Spar tanburg last week. Mr. R. E. Haynes, of itutherfordton, was in town last Saturday on business. Maj. Holland and family visited at Mr. T. J. Wilkins' Sunday last. Mr. G. O. Doggett, of Charlotte, was in Henrietta last week. ; Mr. Ernest Carpenter left Saturday for Davie county, where he has secured a good position. Maj. L. A. Holland has bought the John Kennedy place near Henrietta, ad joining his land. The consideration, we understand, was about $2,000. Bar. B. M. Hamrick, our new Bap tist pastor, preached for us Sunday. Every man owes it to himself and his family to master a trade or profession.

WANAMAKER AND HIS GUEST He Dined Booker Washington At Saratoga Last Week. (Charlotte Daily Observer.) The dining of Booker Washington by Mr. John Wanamaker at Saratoga last week seems to be exciting as much comment as the Roosevelt luncheon of a few years ago. To be sure, if either incident is important at all, this last is more than the first, since there was less occasion for it and no excuse at all, except well, the poet hath said de gustibus non est dis pucandum," which we might inter pret "It's disgusting, tnere's no dis puting it." But why all this stir? As we have already said, it is Mr. Wana maker's business, not ours, whom he shall have at his table, and if Mr. Wanamaker's daughter does not ob ject to walking into a public dining room with a uegro, why should we? If Mr. Wanamaker's daughter or any other Northern trirl wants to marry a negro, let her do that. We go further: if after marriage, the happy couple wish to come South and live, let them come and both be negroes together. Mr. Wanamaker's offence if either is an offence is, we say, greater than was Mr. Roosevelt's. Mr. Roosevelt was President of the United States. A negio is a citizen of the United States, and under the constitution and the law whether these be right or wrong is entitled to as much re spect and consideration as a white man, other things being equal. Other things are never equal, by the way, but that is not the question. Mr. Roosevelt says he is the "President of all the people" which isn't so. by the way again, but then he thinks so, this being also not the question. The guests entertained at the White House are political guests not social, and the only kind of equality such as a dining can indicate so for as the administration is concerned is a polit ical equality, which, as we have al ready said above, is guaranteed by the constitution Mr. Roosevelt has sworn to be governed by. Tnat din ing or luncheon involved no social equality either of the negro in gener al or of Booker Washington in partic ular. Mr. Roosevelt himself, stripped of his political and official insignia, may not pass as the social equal of uiauy people of this country, who now would be glad to dine with him. That is Mr. Roosevelt's view of it, now, not ours. All we say of it is, that it is plausible. It is more plausible than any excuse Mr. Wanamaker has. Mr. Wanamaker has made no excuse, by the way. Neither has the proprietor of the hotel at Saratoga where the ne gro dined: neither has Mr. Wanama ker's daughter. Mr. Wanamaker is a private citizen. There was nothing political or official or yet commercial about this dinner It was purely a social function and Booker Washington, a negro, was un mistakably on a social equality. But with whom was he on this plane of social equality? Mr. Wanamaker, his daughter, and his other guests. Nobody else. As for Booker Washington well, as they say in political campaigns in North Carolina, "it's the nigger in a nigger that makes a nigger a nigger." Don't blame him. He's a good negro. He's more than that; he's a great man. But it is too much to expect of any man, small or great, to decline an invitation to sit down at a table with the Chief Executive of the fore most nation in all the world, or to dine at one of the most elegant hotels at one of the most fashionable resorts with perhaps the foremost merchant in America and his daughter. It is bad. It will hurt Washington's in fluence, will hurt his cause, and lose him friends. Already one of his best friends in Alabama, former mayor of Birmingham, Mr. Drennen, has re signed from the Tuskeegee board on account of this incident, which he says, is going too far and many men in the South who have sympathized and co-operated with Washington in the Tuskeegee work have expressed their disgust. But, we say, it is too much. Mortal man! RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECTS. Resolutions Passed By Broad River Lodge No. 180 I. 0. 0. F.

Public school teachers, of the first grade variety, are not thriving in Rutherford county just now, owing to the reduction of sal ary to $26 per month. Many of our best teachers are seeking employment in pri vate schools and some are leaving the countv for other climes where salaries are more inviting. Prof, aud Mrs. J. M Alihands. who have been successful teachers in Rutherford county for sever al years, left recently for C lark county, Ind., where they will take up public school work September 1st. On their way they will stop over in Louisville, Cincinnati and Iudianapolis. w here they will'visit friends aud relatives. Rev. J. M. Hamrick, of Norfolk. Va has acceotea a call to the pastorate of Henrietta and Caroleen Baptist churches and will move his family here this week The first service of Mr. Hamrick held in the Henrietta church he received 28 members, as a result of the Glenu meet ings, recently held in the Methodist church.

Messrs. Gaffuey and Jenkins have sold their interest in the Henrietta and Caro leen Livery Company to Doggett Bros. & Roberson ; the later now own the en tire stock in the company. Mrs. E. C. Carpenter, of Lancaster, is the guest this week of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Haynes. RICH IN MONAZITE. Rutherford County Lands Worth As High As $600 Per Acre. Correspondence of Charlotte Observer.) LATTIMORE, August 19. To your readers in other sections it might be sur prising to know the amount of monazite mined in Cleveland and Rutherford counties. One merchant, Mr. R. E. Campbell, near Camp Call, has bought over 800 worth in the last week, and the back counties are yet to be heard from. Fifteen years ago the land around Casar and Carpenter's Knob, was rated at about $2 an acre and nobody buying much at that. Now some of it is sold for $600 per acre for the mineral wealth it contains. Near Elleuboro, Ruther ford county, almost fabulous prices have been paid for land, and the supply of sand seems inexhaustible. When L. A. Gettys, a poor public school-teacher, first began to find sand and develop the mines, no one dreamed that the busi ness would ever assume such propor tions. He represented the Weisback Company, of Philadelphia, and realized thousands of dollars by . close applica tion to business. Later, competiou came into the field, and now several compa nies are represented. Instead of mere ly following the bed of the branch, the whole surrounding low country is mined and is rich. As the timber has been pretty well used up, the mines and farms are our future hope. State Lecturer Chas. F. Branson, of Farmington, N. C, is with Campbell Call Lodge, and is doing fine work for Freemasonry. The big meeting season is still on, and Methodists aud Baptists claim to be reaping a bountiful harvest. Box Rent Instructions. Instructions have been sent out from the postmaster general in regard to a late order of the postoffice department concerning box rent, in which the fol lowing language is used: "No box can be assigned to the use of any individual, family, firm, corporation or public of ficial until rent thereon has been paid in advance for one quarter or the un expired portion of a quarter. If box renters do not renew their rights to boxes in use by them by the payment of rent before the 10th of January, April, July and October, you must close their boxes against them, place their mail in the general delivery and rent boxes formerly used by them. No exception to this rule will be permit ted." A New Grocery Business. Mr. F. B. Logan, of Chimney Rock, was here several days this and last week on business. His visit was for the pur pose of perfecting arrangements for the opening up of a "grocery store here about the first of October. Other parties. whose names we are not at liberty to give now, will be associated with him in the new business, which will be styled F. B. Logan & Co. Mr. Logan has rented the old Bartlett store room on the east side of Main street, now occupied by W. A. Carpenter's beef market, from Mr. M. L. Jnstice, who will remodel and improve the building for them. We are informed the new firm has ample capital and will put in a large and up-to-date lines of goods. AGONIZING BURNS are instantly relieved, and perfectly healed, by Bucklen's Arnica Salve. C. Rivenbark, Jr.; of Norfolk, Yar, writes: "I burnt my knee dreadfully; that it blistered all over. Bucklen's Arnica Salve stopped the pain, and healed it without a car." Also heals all wounds and sores. ?5o at drugriatf, PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Things The Sun Man Finds On His Rounds To Write About.

The Blue Ridge Club sold out its effects at auction Monday. We sup pose this means "closing out business." The business man who talks to the readers of a newspaper as he talks to the customers in his store is the one who wins. Mr. Geo.

Moore, but a slicker deal than he. -Rev. J. H. Tillinghast, of Columbia, S. C, who is visiting here, preached an interesting sermon in the Episcopal chapel Sunday night. 35 more negroes passed Rutherford ton over the Southern en route to the South & Western Railroad beyond Ma rion on Monday last.

Prickett, one of Rutherfordton's best citizens, died at his home in this town. The cause of his death was a complication of diseases. About nine or ten weeks ago he was taken ill with typhoid fever but from this disease he had about recovered, when other complica tions set in to which his already weakened condition was unable to withstand and was forced to sub comb. Mr. Prickett was a native of the State of Michigan and came South for the benefit of his health. He first moved to Norfolk, Va., ana after residing there for some time came to this town about eight years ago. He was very quiet and unassuming and has made a host of friends during his residence here, and will ever be remembered as a kind hearted and upright man. He was about 6o years of age and a member of the Baptist church for many years. He is survived by a wife, one son and a daughter, Mr. John Prickett, of Georgia,, and Miss Nina Prickett, of this place, who have the sympathy of our en tire people. The funeral was held at his late residence on North Washington street Tuesday evening at 4 o'clock, Rev. S. L. Cathey, of the Presby terian church and J. H. Tilling hast, of the Episcopal church, con ducting the services, after which the interment took place in the village cemetery. THE "BIG HUMP." New Subscriptions And Renewals Continue To Come In.

The people of Old Fort are to be con gratulated upon securing the services of Prof. Rucker, for a better selection would have been indeed hard to have made. He is a teacher of well known ability and wide experience, having de voted the major part of his life to teach ing in this and adjoining counties, and that his efforts in his new field will be crowned with success, is a foregone conclusion. The loss to this county will be Old Fort's gain. Children's Day At Pleasant Hill. Children's Day at Pleasant Hill on last Sunday was a great success. There was a large attendance, being over four hundred people present. The exercises by the cuildren were varied and of a high order, and the program throughout, was well rendered, showing rare train ing and much pains on the part of the teachers and others in charge. Rev. J . F. Alexander, of Forest City, was also present and delivered an able and inter esting address in the afternoon. This is one of the largest, if not the largest, Sunday Schools in the Green River As sociation, and is doing a splendid work. A Card Of Thanks.

"Now good digestion waits on appe tite, and health on both." It it 40esntry Curdoc Blood Bitter MR. S. MITCHELL QUITE ILL A Successful Meeting Surveying Railroad Through The Cove. (Special to The Sun.) . OTTER CREEK, August 21. Mr. A. W. Hall, Sr., accompanied by his wife, has gone to Sulphur Springs, this coun ty, where hopes that his wife, who has been an invalid for many years, may re gain her health. We wish for them suc cess beyond their expectations. Mr. Sylvester Mitchell, who has been sick for some time, is still in very feeble health. His recovery is doubtful, still a strong determination may work won derful results. Rev. D. J. Hunt, assisted by Mr. A. H. Nanney, have just closed a very suc cessful meeting at tnis place. There were seventeen additions to the church and the community in general has been greatly revived. Mr. and Mrs Hosey Simmons, of Charleston. S. C, are visiting in this section. Many of the young folks, accompanied by some middle aged, met at the home of Mr. A. H. Nanney on Sunday even ing last and had a pleasant and profita singiug lesson. Mr. L. M. Stott, one of the few farm ers of this section who had the good luck not to have his watermelons de stroyed by the summer rains, has been hauling them to the markets of McDow ell county. He reports the prices good. "Montford's Cove off to the sea." This is the talk of many of our young people just now. Should they go on this excursion tour we are sure that they will use two eyes, a fond heart and a keen and eager mind. A fine sight and a good geographical lesson taught by natare herself will be well worth the trip. Mrs. S. R. Hall, who has been sick for the past fortnight, is now regaining her health. Mr. Editor, your editorial of last week was certainly not without foundation, taking the county in general ; yet our people, we are glad to say, are showing a different spirit, for on every hand is heard railroad talk that could not be construed in any other way than favor ble. The surveying corpse have their camps pitched nearby and are at work. But when we hear the sound of the pick and the shovel, followed by the laying of the ties and rails, and last of all, the tooting of the whistle, then there will be ample time to purchase a ticket. TO PREVENT APPENDICITIS. An English Physician Takes The Layman Into His Confidence. (Atlanta Constitution.) In a current magazine article an eminent English physician, Dr. Jos eph Kidd, takes the lay reader into his confidence and tells him all about the alleged facts concerning appendi citis. As to the origin of this rather com mon and perplexing disease, Dr. Kidd savs "the actual exciting cause" in most cases is a chill. 'Do not neglect chills," he warns us, "when heated by exercise, especially alter games on grass, or when much fatigued in mind or body." Also, we are cautioned to "masticate well, eat slowly, do not swallow any food that is not perfectly softened bv the teeth." If you are in a hurry, it is much better to eat half a meal well masticated than to bolt a heavy meal almost whole. Lastly and upon this special stress is laid "avoid aperient salts, water or pill?. For better to let nature do her own work, undisturbed by purgatives of any sort."- This authority goes on to say tnat the best guarantee against appendici is to take care of your general health. If the system be well nourished and the bodily forces well sustained, na ture will often work its own cure be fore the existence of appendicitis is suspected. If the digestive tract is vigorous, the abnormal conditions will often lie overcome by the effort which nature will make to restore normal conditions. Some physicians hold that probably no person reaches the age of 20 years without having had an attack of ap pendicitis, just as it is claimed that no one reaches middle life without at one time or several times, having tu berculosis present in some part of the system.
