One uC Uiq mlneralogtoal expert* of a
Urge milling company baa just returned
to New York after an extended trip
through the South in the Interest of
hia urganlxaltou, and, In spanking
about the mineral resource* In the
Southern States, said:
' 1 have passed through nearly *11
the mining sections of ths South to ex
amine the mineral products In the In
tercut of a number of capitalist*, and,
after a oareful survey of the Held, It la
my honest belief that the future min
ing oporatlous of this country will be
in the South Instead of the West, I
found tho Appalachian range particu
larly rich in all the auriferous and
argentiferous urea, not only In Vir
ginia, but throughout the wlvolo length
into Alabama. In Ueurgia the rich
deposit* are. well known, and compan
ies are now rapidly organlrlng to mine
the various ore*. In South Carolina
• tho deiKUila of mnnaait* have been
found so valuable that a big Industry
has been built up in the Piedmont sec
tion. It is estimated that this Indus
try is now valued at several millions of
dollar*, although it is only a fow yean
old. When 1 visited tho holds every
body was lnokiug for monaxltc, and
the buslnrsa will bring in at least
$100,000 to tlm people of tbe Piedmont
section this year. Owner* of apparent
ly worthies* laud havo let It oat to
contraoton* at tbe rate of BAA) an acre,
sud these miners make big profits be
sides. A fen years ago Uie owners
would have linen glad to have received
fcl or £t per acre tor Lhlt land.
"Thao is more gold iu the South
tintu auy usu ever imagined. Traoes
of It crop up in the most unexpected
places, sad there must be some valu
able veins bid away iu the mountains
that will some day be discovered and
startle the country. Cripple Creek
will bn nothing to the Southern gold
Oelds alter Urey have once bees located
It seems strange. but the fact is nevsr
tbeloss true, that the South has sever
been thoroughly examined for miuoral
aad gold products. Before the war
everybody wet-.l West to And gold, and
the South was given over to cotton,
tobacco, sugar and rice. After the
war closed noth log was done for a
long time to develop the Industries of
the S'Mitheru States, but now we are
begluuing to realiwt that a great, un
developed Held spreads out before us.
There are scores nl gold prospectors
traveling lliruegh the mouotalua of the
South, looking Tor treasures that are
•uro to come to light soma day. Peo
ple apeak about tho future supply of
gold being being found lu*Afrioa!
Why, more gold is burled in the Ap
pslsuhltn ruuge of mountains than
they will Out! in Africa In tbs next
100 years. Bui tho mountains are so
vast, and the region so little known,
that it will take time to locate the
best tolues even after the prospectors
have Wn attracted to the ulaoe.
“Another tiling about the Southern
mines Is that many of the most pre
cious stones ha vo beeu picked up at
various p lints, aud where such jewels
are spread out on lbs surface yon esu
rest assured that there axe others fur
ther down noder the ground. For In
stance, at Corundum Hill some beauti
ful sapphires ha vo been found. Here
are some that 1 secured from a ratuer.
They were not ix>inuig fur sapphires,
but happened to piok them up while
mluing tor ores. Over 100 sapphires
have been found at this place, and
must of them are valued it $.">0 to $100
and upward. Oat sapphires are not
by any means the only precious stones
found in the fiouth. Genuine dia
monds liaeo been found In North Caro
lina, autl one miner secured s precious
Bern that sold for i?200. In Sooth Car
olina and Georgia fine specimens of
emeralds have also been taken from
(lie ore mines. In fact, wo have I wo
inlues that have recently been started
for the purpose of digging out tho
emeralds, for both the aquamarine and
tbe yellow beryl Are found. Id the
but live years nuurly fJO.GOO worth of
emeralds have been mined, and they
are atnoug tbe best ever discovered In
America. Garnets, of course, are
scattered all nver these rich sorlferoas
fields, sud wo pick np such large gen
uine specimens that prove very valu
able. Ordiuary email gamete are not
worth much, but when you can mine
llietu as bin as a bird's egg you 'are
sure to Dud a profitable market for
Uiera. lo Virginia garnets of wonder
ful slxs and brilliancy have been taken
and the coalfields of Alabama and
Trnuessr also nbouud In then* pro
ducts. Hinull spool mens of diamonds
huve boon found In Georgia, and there
Are undoubtedly whole districts that
could be profitably mined for tbsoa
precious stones.
•• 11m foot it Dial we have n country
capable <i( producing nil tbo precious
atones known to science, but so ouch
attention has been given to the mining
of iron, coal, oil, silver and gold that
tho more precious product! of the
rocks have been neglected l remem
ber distinctly in California, when the
gold fever was at its height, miners
threw up several fairly good specimens
of diamonds, hot In their erase Tor the
yellow met a I tliey paid no nttcntlon to
to the precious stone*. They knew all
abonl gold-ruining. bet nothing about
diamonds. Now that tba goldfield*
bavebmi exhausted. 1 gnem anny of
llietn wish they Lad stopped and
pocketed some of 'he precious stones
lhey threw away. If w« made aa thor
ough preparation for diamond mlolog
aa Uiriy do In Honth Africa, we would
find this country much richer In ma
terial* thin anybody anticipates. A
company bus recently been organised
to develop Mir mine* of precious stoats
to the Sooth, aod ll bus number of
agents In tba Said making examina
tion*. They will Include In tbelr work
all of the preeloue etonee—diamond*,
emeralds, sapphire*, beryl*, garnet*
and every other of any value. They
will be provided with tbe proper me*
ohlaery, and not with ooal aod gold
mining Implement* It is alt wrong
to sunposa that a ooal or gold miner
would unearth tbe precious stones If
they happened to be In the mountain*
Tbe precious atones ere not alwaye
found where tbe gold and ooalfitld*
are located. It need* distinct machin
ery aod methods, and tbl* Is the only
way that we oan ever hope to develop
Cbe gem resources nf this country. Tbe
company which 1 have been traveling
for bas already made negotiation* for
large tract* of tbe mineral land along
tbe Appalachian system, aod it will
make Immediate efforts to develop tbe
mine* I have no doubt that they
will strike many unexpected Helds of
precious gam*, aod tbe country will
gel a new idea of the resources of tbe
mines of tbe South. ”

L«la Hunt, (now Mn. Atklneoo)
the Georgia wonder whose magic
power mystified the world ton yean
ago bat written a book explaining bow
•be worked her Uicki, for mere tricks
•be now ooafsetee they were. In
■peaking of lire, Atkinson’* book tbe
Atlanta Journal aayt;
A doieo yean ago a Georgia girl sa
tanUbed the country with feats appar
reotly mirtculoua. she bad a strange
power which no one could resist and
none could explain. It wax exerted
seemingly through Inanimate object*
•ucb ■• eanea, billiard ooea, chain and
umbrella*. Strong men who tried to
bold a stick or t chair were sent flylug
over the etage when ber fingers were
laid lightly upon the objeot. At her
home tbe furniture behaved la the
most uuaccoantable manner. Bed
steads creaked omnlouily, liming tbe
noise so as to answer questions. Peo
ple who laughingly asked the bed to
tell tbe lime of day tented pale when
It cracked nine, and trembled when 11
cracked tbe number of minute* put
Uie boor. A lady of tba household
waa alarmed when ber garment* were
spirited sway, and almost terrified
when they floated beck Into tbe room
sad bung on a plot ore. Five men
piled In a cbalr were lifted by tbe girl
without even gripping the objoct. 3be
laid her band lightly oo tbe back of
Uie chair and tbe tnaa* trembled, tot
tered aud rote from tbe floor. Wbeo
this feat wu performed at the Smith
Ionian Institute she stood oo seal**,
Uie beam of which balanced rt twenty
pounds abort her weight. She laid
ber hands oo the back of a cbalr wltb
Ore men on It and the chair rose clear
off the floor. Sbt did not exert enough
muscular force to lift tbe extra twenty
pounds on the seals beam. Than, to
detect tbe presence of electricity, sbe
was plsoed oo an Insulated glam plate
without any change in tbe result. A
drop of Mood was drawn from ber arm
examined under tbe micro tops and
pronounced a perfect specimen.
A few days after this she went to
New York aod Professor Latin esme
on tbe stags with twenty strongmen
from the Athletic dob. Their united
streagtb was not aufflclent to foroe to
the floor a olialr on which ber hands
were lightly laid. The gnat audience
went wild and such a demonstration
soausd as btos New York seldom
witnesses.
All them feats sbe now undertakes
to explain as the result of well-known
laws of physics.
Lula Horst lias written a book, ex
plaining tbe wonderful phenomena
with which tbe astonished Uie oountry
a dosco year* ego. Sbe found tbe se
cret of it only after years of study and
experiment, hut now that it is known,
the explanation Is so simple that any
body can understand it.
One of tbe Important principles la the
deflection of foroe. A rifle ball shot
over tbe water at aa obtuse angle dots
not penetrate, bat skips over tbe sur
face. It may be deflected In the seme
way by a silk handkerchief. Very liL
lle resistance will deflect a powerful
force. Any book oo physics will ex
plain the principle of equilibrium of
forces, and of tbe resultant force
where several forces come together,
operating In different directions. Ap
plied to the human frame, with iu
great number of muscles, producing *
multitude of forces, operating la dtffisr
eat directions aud liable to be changed
in direction at any Instant by tlu
bending of a knae. an elbow, or even
tbe crooking of a linger, theme causes
produoe wonderful effects, well ealou
lated to astonish nod mystify an audi
ence, especially when It is wrought up
to a high pitch of excitement, and the
miudt of those present are dominated
by the Idea that something mysterious
Is about to happen.
Combined wltb the deflection of
Toroe Is • curious application of the
law of leverage.
Tba book tears tbe mask from SOper
atltlon and deals a (Uggsrlog Mow to
tbe pride of the human Intellect. It
show* that at this age of supposed en
llghtesimeut, wbeo euperstitlon is
thought to be a thing of the past,
when we thank God that we are not as
other men who burned witches, the
credulltv of mankind is as great as
ever sad se easily Imposed upon.
We do Dot burn wltohes now, but
only a duoen years ego scores of men
roes up Id a New York sudlenoe sod
ejected Dr. Forrest from the stage be
cause he tried to account for the phe
nomena which Mrs. Atkinson now
explains.

She wa* not as attractive women; far
from iL But ahe wae strong, healthy,
and endowed with tbe awful quality
of Keeping ber own oounael. Her hus
band died when aha bad been married
but a few moatbi, and aha weot to
live with eoiao relative* wbo kept a
little Hummer cottage at a near-by re
sort on lb* Jersey abort 8b# wa* not
well enough eduoated to sera a living
exoept at boose work, and tbe relatives
ebe lived with paid ber aa much for
tbat aa anybody alee would. That
wae twenty-two year* ago.
One night a mao, lafftrlng from

tage ebe lived la. Hi* coachman said
tbat b* would pay liberally for a week
or two of careful ettsotloo, bet that
Ida identity moat remain werst. Tbe
people la the cottage were loath to
undertake tbe work, bat tbe reward
waa high, and they turned tbe man
over to the care of the widow. In lee*
Umio a week she bad him all right, lie
paid ber liberally, but did not tell her
lilt name.
A (aw dsya later later site received a
requaat to eooo to tbla city and call on
a lawyer. He mad* bar a proposition
whleb aba aooepted. She was told that
the millionaire alia bad attended was
pleeaed with the manner with wlileb
abe had pat bias on bit feet, and wanted
to engage her permanently. It was ex
plained that waadertnge of the nature
*b* had witnessed were not unoemmon
with him, and that bit suffering*, even
after tb* allgbtaat lapse, required care
ful noratng. She was to take a bone*
np town, and tba reut, a* well ea the
household bills, would be paid by the
lawyer. If she chose to let rooms In
the booae to add to her Income aba waa
at liberty to do to.
The conditions were that the should
never betray the name of her employer,
never allow him to leave tba booae
when under bar cars until the lawyer
ealled for him, and that no one else In
the house ahoald he allowed to tee him.
Furthermore, alia waa outer to leave
the houae without leaving word where
alie wee. nor go where aha could not be
tent for at a couple of bourn’ notice.
It waa a buaiseas enangtmeot out
and out, aad aba undertook It. Her
Mends asked her In vain to whom abe
wee indebted Tor her eamptuona borne.
8h* never betrayed bar employer’s oon
Meoca. Da never went near ber house
unless hit coachman took him there.
Sometimes abe did not tee him for
month*, but when the cell did ooma It
was always unexpected. Mo matter
how important the business that re
quired attention, the lawyer never al
lowed the millionaire to be disturbed
whUe he area at tbla retreat. Hu fami

The question of eehool hlstorlae Is

with the book* published, called
“eohooj histories,” for better a ease,
aod the public sod preas have Ukeo

are driven nearly to distraction by the

It le baldly reaaoosble to expect onr

Is equally unfair to deemed that tbe

*»* **»ai Ibe war ended somehow.
80-calied hlttorians are trying to Im
prove on tbe {ecu of tbe war, at least
tf*T, make the mistake, to put It
mildly; of bolding tbe email end of
the telescope to toe eye la locking at
tbe leaden 00 one aide sod then re
verae tbe Instrument to elm up lead
er* of the other side.
It It probable that tbe hbtorlee, to
far as Uwy treat of the war, are made
np of garbled statements written for
tbe newspaper* by "war oorreapob
deote.”
Those who served in the arm Ira
know lutt bow muob three oorrespon
doote know or tbe facts about which
they wrote.
War correspondents did aot seek
glory and martyrdom by roeblng Into
tbe thickest of tbe flgkt. although
their letter* would lead to tbU con
clusion.
Tbo very heat sad most trathful war
letters were written by the soldier* to
their loved one* at hones. They gave
facte and Incident* joit a* they se
cured. They were telling Uie story of
tbo war as seen by actors and partici
pants. And right here there Is a rich
and useful fend from which to drew
sad it is ttranie that the historian
neglect* so valuable a means of learn
ing the troth. In every boeM, North
and South, bidden away la some old
trunk or bureau drawer, are bundles of
totters written on bettlt&elds and by
light of camp fire, from which a nan
of comet Information can be ob
tained.
Tbe men who served In tbe armies
have made Ibeir rati mate of tbe lead
ers. The Federal soldier la boocet In
believing that hLa commanding officer
was great-greater than tbe Confederate.
And so, also, tbe Confederate loyally
loves bta.old oommaoder and stick* to
It that be was greater than any op
posing officer.
Coming generations will know tba
great Captains only through tbe Be
dlam of bistory; they will know the
causes which lead up to tlie war
throngb the mine medium, and these
are tbe rresooa why history ihould
give facta and be frea from partisan
treatment. The Southern part of the
history of tbe war was mede during
the war—the cease* leading to the war

We must band down to oar oh|ldrea
tbe story covering the period from
1861 to 1865, not written Id a sectional
spirit, but with unwavering devotion
to truth.
That will be the kind of history to
give oor children.
It Is useless. It is folly to oomplstn

Combined with the breathing exor
cise* mow be bead bending move monte
aud etde and float tweep aim mova
meaU, practiced either outdoor! or
beror* eu open window.
There ore four separate exercise* for
the bead:
1. Bend the bead slowly but flrmly
forward, without lattice**, until tbe
chin nearly touche* the nook, thou
slowly raise the head to Ua normal
position; repeat them movement* 15 or
SO time* at least and taka long deep
breathe. A deep breath should be
held aa long as possible and thru slow
ly sxbtltd, Mldlng tbs air a few seconds
la tbs throat.
9. Bond the bead book wards as far
as possible and then raise to Its normal
position.
U. Bond the heed tideways, 10 times
to tbe right aad aa many to the ML
4. Roll the bead slowly to tho right,
backward to left and thso forward.
Tor the aide sweep arm movements,
stood perfectly erect, with tbs arms at
thosMea. then lift them up vertically,
inflating tho longs as tho anas ascend.
With tbe arms la vortleal position raise
up oa tbe tiptoe*, aad throw the head ,
book, teaching at the same time the'
bsoks of tho hands overhead. Ac tho
arms slowly deooeod exhale from tho ,!
mop. |
For tbo front sweep Inlet* se raw
bring yoor arise to a vertical position; 1
look ap and rales oo tba tiptoes; keep
tin eioows straight and touch the 1
mamba when tbo anas are ralaad shore
tho head. Exhale as ths hands are re
turned to the sides of the thigh*. Then 1
alternate the front sweep and the side.
For ths next movement draw the 1
arms from the front boriaontally palms ,
up. until Urn elbows are ss far past the 1
sides as possible, but kept down clone '
to the body. Indate as the arms are '
drawn back, exhale aa you return to
poaitloo. Hepeat these movements
three or four tlmss. The last time,
when tba elbows era book, beat the '
chart lightly sad quickly 15 or HO times. <
Repeat these movemeoU several times. ]
Every alternate day Uie eras sweep
exerciser should be practiced, lying
flat on the back, with the knees bent, 1
and remember that the movements 1
must be fahsn slowly and dvlibrmtely, ]
with the breaths as deep and fall aa ,
possible. Not only Is tbs neck, and all
its muscles benefited by these exercises,
but one acquires at the mow tins an
erect and graceful carriage. A word
about deep braatlilog. Not one person
la a thousand habitually breathes to
his full capacity, and consequently
lacks strength and vigor of body ana
mind. Enough eeonot be said of the
benefits of full, deep breathing. If
you would prove Its benefits, practice
It dally, and you will increase the cir
culation, purify the blood and send It
rich and warm to make lips ruby red
and to plant roses in ths cheeks.

A noeut bulletin of the X. C. Ex
periment Station which ta now bring
distributed, la No. 133 entitled "Some
new foliage, fiber and ntlier useful
plants." Thin bulb-tin describes a
variety of new plants which have been
tested and llielr value la reported.
Among the mors important of the
kinds tbst an promising and worthy
of Boors general use, are tha cowpeua of
the. "Unknown" and "Red Ripper”
varieties, hagy, a new Japanese legu
mUe recently Imported, allied ta
Japan clover, tlie Canada Held pea, and
vetch. Among the plants that ham
recently bean advertised that do not
promise well and are not recommended,
are the Uaggar Weed, no much pleated
in Florida; the Horae llean; Saoealisa;
tlis Flat Pom, and Canal gre. The Ut
ter plant ia grown In tlie arid climates
of the middle lower section of the
United Suita, Arizona and adjoining ;
States, for use for tnonlo sold. Ho far |
It haa not been Mend of value hi this
KUte. Promising fiber plants are
ramie and Jute, tlie former eapeetelly,
and some of the roots are being dis
tributed for 00-operative touting In lira
assure section of the Stale, where it
proaiaoa to oa of considersUe value lu
rich lowlands and In (lu rice growing
districts. The only drawback hereto
fore baa been that proper machinery
for preparing the fiber for market hat
not hoeu known, but recently machin
ery haa bean effected which makes It
mors east to accomplish this. Far
mers of too State one Immense quanti
ties of cotton begging, bugging fertili
zers, ete., and It the material for this
purpose should be grown and inauufao
turad Imre, It would add another wry
Important Industry and would bs the
saving of a large amount of money.
A summary uf the ooutenU of the
bulletin ia given in it so that busy
readers can ascertain Uiu various sub
jects treated. It will be amt to ap
St cants In North Carolina Who apply
