THE AMERIOUS DAILY T1MES-RECOE DER: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1 U 1891.
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!
RATHER POSSIBLE.
MAY ARISE FROM A STRATA OF MAO
NETIC ORE.
A DUcorcpy at the Central Railroad Arte-
elan trail Which It at Least Worthy of
Investigation—The Water May Percolate
Through Magnetic Ore.
Ur. J. F. Harris, of tho S. A. & U.
railroad, yesterday afternoon went to
the drinking spout of the artesian well at
the Central depot and in handling the
block tin dipper attached for drinking
purposes was surprised to And that it
adhered to the pipe through which the
water flowed. An Investigation proved
that the pipe was highly magnetired, as
after a slight friction with it the small
knife o» Mr. Harris showed great ad-
hesivo capacity, lifting almost any small
metallic article will) which it was
brought in contact. Mr. Harris deeming
the matter worthy of research questioned
the Central tail road attendant and learn
ed that he had been noticing the fact
for only a few weeks. There nre several
deductions to be drawn. Either the
pieco of iron pipe, when rolled was
magnetic d, which to any the least of it
is unusual, magnetic ore being almost
alwaya recognized and devoted to higher
uses (and furthermore, tho pipe having
been long iu its present position, it
would seem suro to have before display
ed its peculiar properties), or the water
in its upward eourso forces its way
through a layer of magnetic mineral
Water, magnetic in itaelf la probably
unknown to science, but it may be
readily seen that the minute particles of
the magnetized mineral could be easily
transferred and deposited by the liquid
in its flow through the spont which in
time would transmit to the iron its
mineral properties.
At least it la worthy of test as to
whether it Is simply a ease of iron pipe
magnetized through production or water
impregnated by percolation through a
stratum of magnetic mineral, and the
teat suggested by Ur. Harris U a good
and effective one: that the short length
of iron pipe now in use be removed, and
in its places be substituted a new length
already proven non-magnetlo; that the
new spout be left on fear a reasonable
time, and then, If showing evidence of
magnetlo impregnation It will prove un
doubtedly that the water runs through
a layer of this valuable ore, bow exten
sive can be thereafter demonstrated by
experiment
A ROMANCE
Of the Old Court Douse—An Old Vow la
Fulfilled.
C All that composed the old court house
of Sumter county thst has stood for
many years In the center of the public
square, has atlsst been torn away, and
nothing now remains but the rubbish
thereof.
Shortly after the eketch written by
Judge Filsbury was published in Tag
Times-Kioobdib, an old gentleman ar
rived in the city, and at once proceeded
to the site where the bniiding bad
stood.
For several moments bo stood silent
and meditative, at length he spoke to a
citizen, who was standing near by, as
follows:
•‘Thirty-five years ago, 1 was a citizen
of tills county, and a well-to-do farmer,
living In the now Fifteenth district. I
loved and married one of my neighbor’s
daughter*, and fora slior time life was
worth livlus; f was supremely happy,
and thanked our heavenly Father for the
many blessings that be bestowed upon
me and mine.”
Here the old mail pulled Ids handker
chief from his pocket and wiped away
the tears that came trickling down his
cheeks.

Work For the Street Committer.
' The Times Recorder would respect
fully call the attention of tboee in ziv
thority to the almoit impassable condi
tion of the sidewalk in front of the new
Hotel Windsor on Jackson street, es
pecially about the Lamar street corner.
There hae been much complaint of late
concerning the great piles of slate and
other bniiding material stacked at this
point, and ladles wishing to visit the
new stores jtut opened in the Windsor
are often compelled to cross the street
from the middle of the Barlow Block.
This obstructing material, If there Is
no storage place off the street for It,
might easily be moved to the sooth tide
of the bniiding on Lamor, thereby clear
ing the more crowded thoroughfare and
doing justice to the merchants whose
business Is Injured by Ite present posi
tion.
Another matter to whleb the street
committee might with great advantage
to the publlo give Ite attention. Is the
dilapidated condition of the sidewalk on
Lamar street In (root of Schmidt’s Read
ing Room and the People’s National
Bank. It Is onsafe upon a dark night,
and uncomfortable walking at any time.

But the court could not see things ns t ; latiug to a call of a few citizens at my

1 left tho court house, vowing that I
would neverimarry until the courthouse
was either burned down or torn away.
That vow I have kept; though it was
hard to do. 1 left my wifo, plantation
and all, wandered over the west; fought
through the war and courted death
Af’er tiie war was oves I settled in Ter

At this time the old man's face bright

going to do. Said he: . “I have kept my
vow, and as the old honse has been torn
away, I will be married next Sunday

really gone. Yes, sir, I will marry next

Mb. Editor: It Is np oasy matter to
call names, more especially hard ones.
It Is essy to charge citizens at being
alggerdly, who will not throw awsy
their hard earned money at thebeok and
call of a few speculators.
Some three yean ago the citizens of
Amerious subscribed 85,000 dollon to
the street railway. This past summer
they were sold out, end when some com
plained of the the railroad track being In
tbewsy, the "retort, not courteous,"
was given. "You no longer have any
Interest in the matter." But now they
come with fair speech; for they want
more money. Bnt the proposition Is
like an Ill-roasted egg, "ell on one side."
All for the bond-holden, end nothing
for the people, whom they propose to
dnpe by bach meretricious allurements,
for they do not even so mnch ss make
any promises or pledget how long they
will run the ears, but forthwith say that
they will give the money book for the
time they do not ran the care.
Some days ago Mr. Kenney called a
meeting, or bad It called, of a few of
the citizens of Americas; snd suggested
that If they would pledge $3,000 a year
for fi le years that he thongbt ’the bond
holders might pnt the ears In motion
again. He would not promise anything;
bnt would suggest only. The money
was enbeoribed and he went his way. A
few day* ago he returns and says he
wants $6,000 for the first year end $2,000
each for the other four years. History
tells us when the enemy of Rome had
her prostrate, the general commanding
said to the citizens of Rome: "Pay ns so
mnch ransom or I will sack the city."
The citizens brought the gold snd laid
It at hla feet. He commanded it weighed
and threw his sword In the scalss thst
the snm might be the more and the run-
tom the greater. N. Speer.
