8 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.

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.

It has been asserted that Mr. Kenny called, or had called, that meet ing above referred to. That assertion is untrue. Mr. Kenny camo to Americus In the Interest of the bondholders of ths Americus street railroad, they having become the owners after forecloture of mortgage and purchase at rtceiver’s sale.
