Tho tariff, to be sure, Is an Imporlnnt sub ject, but to my mind heart dlecase Is a more serious malady than stomach ache." had card In pocket with name C. L. Klnard; Sylvester., Do you know him? Please answer quick." A short while taler the following re ply was received: "C. L. Klnard Is eon,of J. F. Klnard, prominent farmer near here. Unmar ried." . Almost Immediately afterwards message came from the Sylvester Sup ply Co.,',of which the elder Klnard la the head, which read aa follows: Have wired Inman, Smith & Co. to look after remains of C. L. Klnard." Mr. John A. Smith of-Inman, Smith Co. received a telegram from the same source asking him to sec that the remains were prepared for burial and sent.to Sylvester.

Before the arrival of the remains at Sylvester preparations were made for rocctvlng them by the relatives pf Kl nard. The sorrowing relatives met the train on which the body had been sent and with tear-etalned cheeks awaited tho opening of the casket. Surprise took the place of grief in an Instant, for o glance at the mangled form told plainly that the dead man was not Kl nard. A telegram was later received at Syl-. vester from C. L.

When they returned from Lakewood Klnard and tho stranger separated'and he wns last seen by his former com panion going down Decatur street. Kl nard says that the man wns not In toxicated and the only way he can ec count for the accident is that ho lost his wur. Now that Klnard Is known to be alive, the mystery surrounding the dead man han Increased. The only due that may lead to hla Identity are mark, on his shirt collar. These marks were made at a laundry and are: "O. 2“ nnd “2*31."

ATLANTA, July 26.—News has reached th<* city of the richest soli discovery yet recorded In Georgia, or perhaps on this continent. -This Klon dike If located in Wilkes county. According to the statement of I. H. Oppenhelm, one of the owners of the property, this vein Is the richest ever discovered, not only In America, but in the known world. The property is now owned by the Columbia Mining Company and Walker D. Storey. The member® of the Co lumbia Mining Company are I. II. Op penhelm, A. Bluthenthal, M. L. Blckart and W. H. Fluker. The story of the discovery reads like a fairy tale. The property has been owned since the year 1869 by Hon; L. W. Latimer, at one time a member of the house of representatives. Mr. Latimer has al ways known there was gold bn the property, but never made any investi gations, and never even sunk a single shaft. An old deaf mute, who bas lived on the place for years, has for a long time sustained himself by panning the earth from different places. The old .man was supposed to be slightly half-witted, and would go from the farm houee to the stable, from the garden to the edge of the creek, schooplng his pan full of dirt and washing out the gold In primitive fashion. He has several times found nuggets of small value. The Columbia Mining Company, who were operating gold mines about twelva miles from Thomson, Oa.. heard of the luppofed richness of the property, and pent Walker D. Storey, a prospector, to Investigate, on the understanding that If a strike was made he was to receive a half Interest. Storey went on the place and began his Investigations, first securing an op tion on 600 acres of land. The object of hla search was to find the rich vein that had thrown off the Immense quan tities of surface ore. Selecting what he thought a suitable spot, ho commenced to sink a shaft. Within twelve feet of tho surface a vein of gold was struck, running ob liquely across the side of the shsft. After following the vein for a dis tance of some seven feet, Storey noti fied the company of his find and im mediately prepared for an assay of the ore. This part of the story Is best told by a series of affidavits now In the pos session of Mr. Oppenhelm. These re late. briefly, as follows: Mr. Latimer, the owner of the prop erty, weighed fifteen sacks of the ore taken from the mine by Storey, the gross weight being 1.407 pounds. Tn his wagon this ore was hauled to the mill of the Columbia company across the country for thirty miles nnd then milled. To the Intense dePght and as tonishment of the spectators, the sacks of ore yielded no less than 1,785 pen nyweights of puro gold, valed at about 81,700. W. H. Fluker. the superintendent of the Columbia Mining Company, then made nn assay of the ore, nnd makes affidavit that the sample showed a valtie of 822,640 to the ton. These facts were at once communi cated to Mr. Oppenhelm in Atlanta, and he and Mr. Blckart hurried Imme- dlntely tn the mines. Th* bargain wns closed, and the entire 600 acres purchas ed for 18.000. The little town of Thomson has gone wild over the discovery. Mr. T. A. Scott, the president of the local bank. Is being overwhelmed with letters of Inquiry from all directions. Mr. Oppenhelm said ibis morning that a new f company would be imme diately formed, consisting of the mem bers of the Columbia Company and Mr. Storey. The new company will be known as the Latimer Mining Com pany. On Mr. Oppenhelm’s desk In his of fice on Alabama street, lay n magnifi cent mass of gold. It was shaped not unlike a big squash, and little pin points of brightness glittered all over It. It wss the amalgam from tho fif teen sacks of ore. ’•You can fairly see the gold In every direction In th* shaft.” eatd Mr. Op penhelm. “The hanging* wall and the foot wall arc filled with It, In addition to the vein Itself. YVe have every rea son to believe that other and equally rich veins are in the neighborhood, and will at once begin to prospect (or them. Our superintendent. Mr. Fluker. Is authority for the statement that th* vein of gold is the richest ever dis covered.” The vsln Is described as about five Inches In breadth, some seven «r eight feet of It being now exposed. How much more there Is Is entirely s mat ter of conjecture, but the richness of neighboring soil has convinced Mr. Oppenhelm that his company has struck an Immensely valuable property.

Suits at Summer Prices. PITTSBURG. July 26.—The National Tube Works Company at McKeesport, has made an unexpected move intended to checkmate the Amalgamated Asso ciation. Their skilled workmen have been asked to sign individual contracts to practically repudiate any union la bor, and they have been given but a short time to think the matter over. It Is understood that should they’not sign the contracts they will find their positions vacant and the axe is ex pected to fall tomorrow. It transpired today that late on Thursday evening the €00 welders of the mills were paid off and then taken Into the office of the general superin tendent, where they were presented with individual contracts to be signed for at least a year. Some demurred, while others signed the contracts. This movement, fighting fire with five, carried consternation .Into the ran?.s? of the strikers. The welders are high ly skilled workmen, and with their co operation the big plant might be closed down. With them In line* the plant will probably keep on running as though nothing had happened. It was intimated tonight by friends of the welders that they would all fifeo the contracts. A telegram from McKeesport late to night says: "It was reported on good authority In McKeesport tonight that the em ployes of the Boston Iron and Steel Works and the National Rolling Mill at McKeesport, both plants of the Na tional Tube Company, will come out on strike tomorrow. It is rumored In Mc Keesport tonight that if the Boston plant and the National Rolling Mill punts—820.00 GOETTE, THE TAILOR, 12.T Cotton Are. Phone :U78. L. H. Burghard & Co.
