wonderful country this iat
Did yon ever know of two ri
vals to call at tbe same honae,
on the same night, to sec the
same girl, and both riding the
same horse, at the same time?
Now. these two boys go a court
ing that way when the weather
is good sod fine.
At this date on the Crowder's
the grass is getting green, and
the mockers begin to scream
love is intoxicating, but mar
riage is like bromo-seltser; it
sobers one up.

Spartanburg. S. C., June. 4.—
The Carolina Tin and Develop
ment Company, which owns
thousands of prospective mining
landa in Cherokee county, has
transferred 3.000 ecres of its
property to the United States
Steel Company at a stupendous
consideration, the exact figures
of which cannot be ascertained.
The former company, however,
retained a considerable amount
of the original landa. The pur
chasing concern is capitalised at
3200,000,000 and will, it is un
derstood, commence developing
its newly acquired landa within
the next thirty days. Expert
mining engineers have been no
tified to report at Gaffney at
once, and the bidden wealth of
that acctiou will be re ealed to
the world soon. The residents
of the section between Bessemer
City, N. C., and Gaffney, S. C.,
have conceived a erase for tin
and iron hooting that bids fair
to ccNpae any industrial and
commercial fever that has ever
struck this section of the coun
try. Reliable mining experts
hsve expressed the opinion that
the territory lying between the
placet mentioned has every in
dication of being capable of be
ing worked to an extent far in
excess of any other section of
the country.
