Almost all of the gold used in American coins was mined in North Carolina and South Carolina until the California gold rush days. Kivett said gold was first discovered in North Carolina in 1799 near Concord when the Reid family found a brightly colored rock in a stream on their farm. The rock was used as a door stop for three years but a jeweler bought it from the farmer for three dollars, The rock contained 17 pounds of pure gold. In 1831, according to Kivett, Christopher Bectler, Sr., of Rutherfordton opened his own private mint and. started minting gold coins.

The earliest recorded history of a sizeable gold nugget took place right near the Cotton Patch Ming when a Stanly County farmer turned up a yel- low rock while plowing, This was a dozen years before the seventeen- pound nugget was found on the Reed property, And, for over two hundred years fatmers in this area occasionally found gold nuggets in their field after a rain, The Parker Mine is now abandoned like the Yellow Dog Mine, the Reed Mine, the Colossus Mine and several hundred other lesser known gold mings which once supplied millions in gold to the U.

Mint in Washington aud tater to the Charlotte Mint, Still Searching Last week while tourists panned for gold at the Cotton Patch Mine, a heli« copter circled in the sky nearby and men drilled where three veins of gold intersect in a potato patch, The copter cartying some sophisticated electronig gear is also looking for gold. Operated by a crew of Ohio gold prospectors, it has been surveying the area of the old Parker Mine and also the Reed Mine in Cabarrus County. The lure of gold is still strong in the North Carolina hills and over the years only the faces and equipment of the _Prospectors seem to change, y é “ J ee s” ~" Z 3 hl > er ey 7 ; ¥ yi sv o ‘ a , - 7 y 4 a r {% § a \ ii at aA i\ 4 ' we \e ‘ 9 Sey ye! ye 4 a! a ne x ie \ on oe \ yi | ‘ 4 \ Pott t yr ’ cy e es ¢ i oF an oo V " co i} yh V¥ : aye M2 oe é V' ag a \ co gu oop oe iY se a” ao” " . rs ’ ai 0 r os i yr ‘ net \) a. \ Ya qi) a \ ate on Ny a” ae po ie \, (0 iA \ ‘ ies ny? an av! h s E ‘ \ " ” ; j ay \s' ( \\\ \e . wh ©. ay v AY ; \ \i oa \ ore Or we 4) \ ee .

By 1849, it & estimated that more than §10 million in gold had been taken from the Reed property alone, Meanwhile, gold was discovered in Anson, Burke, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Rutherford, and other counties. A Tarborough newspaper in 1828 claimed that North Carolina had become known a8 the “golden state, from the great lumps of precious metal found there.”’ Professor Fletcher M.

Lee's first assignment following his graduation from West Point in 1829 was on the fort project, then being surveyed. Un- garrisoned until the War Between the States, it was seized by the Confederates on January 3, 1861, who held it until April 11, 1862. On. that date, the Union forces, in a 30 hour bombardment, successfully demonstrated for the first time the effectiveness of rifled cannon. agdinst masonry fortifications. Old Gold America’s first gold nugget was discovered in the Reed Mine in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, in 1799. It was several years, however, before its nature was known. The size was described as being equivalent to a ‘small smoothing iron.” Later a nugget was found weighing 28 pounds. Gold in limited quantities was found elsewhere including Dahlonega, Georgia.

But all who have attempted to extract it since Waiter George N@wman left in 1915 have failed to pe@duce a profit. And all of the ventures have ended in failure. On August 27, 1931, a newspaper headline proclaimed that work was again underway in the mines. Ten men had been employed. One pound of gold and two pounds of amaigam had been removed. Offices and equipment left by Walter George Newman would be removated and used by the new company. The newspaper story went on to Say that this operation was a ‘‘far cry from “she state 428€ incorporators were : H.

And once again the Gold Hill mines were abandoned. Senie of the old timers who had seen , the “good old days when mines were _ being worked” began to feel that it was _ hopeless. But then, found in North , barely nine years later, those who were left from the old days received another of hope. Seven months later, January 20, 1959 two men representing the Southeastern Diamond Drilling Company of Asheville moved into the area formerly operated by the old Union Copper Company. They began probing deep into the earth with a hallow shaft to determine what lay beneath the surface. The Asheville drilling company was hired by the Tennessee Copper Company to see if they could locate anything of interest with its diamond-edged drills. The two men were John Barlett of Asheville and Charles Umberger of Wytheville, Va. They planned to sink shafts at three different points on the property, points that were determined by a geological survey Whether the men found anything of interest is not recalled. But again picture faded.

Faulkner Tam very pleased to announce the promotion of John F. Faulkner to the position of Executive Vice President to assume the daily college ad- ministrative duties. He hag been as- sociated with the College for six years, the last four as Vice President for Development. Joseph C. Wenninges To further strengthen our working team, Joseph Wenninger has been advanced to the position of Vice President for Development and Pub- lic Affairs. In this move the two ar- eas have been combined under one head. He came to the College two years ago and has served during that time as Vice President for Public Affairs. The responsibilities of the presi- dent of a college are very broad in scope. It is, therefore, important for him to establish priorities in the utilization of time. He must be re- sponsible for the policy decisions that are made, for seeing that they are implemented, for selecting person- nel to carry out those decisions and also for communicating personally the College program. That is a big assignment. T am thankful that right within our present administrative staff, there are supporting individu- als, who can make possible more time for my personal contact with you, our PARTNERS in Christian education, I have confidence in the capabilities of these men in their new -responsi- bilities. This move will also provide more time for me to represent the College in educational circles I am looking forward to the Op- portunity to visit with you to tell you of God’s blessing on the LeTour- neau College campus, our plans for the future and how you can partici- pate in this work of the Lord.

Name NOW is the accepted time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation.” SEPTEMBER, 1971 (Il Cor. 6:2) BOY FINDS LARGE EMERALD |; One day a boy in North Caroli was digging in a mine in the f@ hills. About two feet below the face he picked up a rock; and ag Hie’ rubbed it, he saw the sun shiriig through! He realized it was not’ @m ordinary rock and after showing it around, he sold it for $700 The “rock” which turned out lis n emerald crystal, changed h tw. ce before it was bought by Tiffamy Comp ony of New York. Tittandi Vice Pr cident set the value of the . crystal at $100,000! if The finished gem is about as Wig as a thumb nail and about half'® inch deep. It is described as the | est emerald ever found in N America. We are confident that the Lord iis joys the beauty of the preci stones, for He created them; and emerald is mentioned a number of times in the Bible The garments of the priests fn Moses’ time were decorated with em eralds and also other precious stom@e. Also “all manner of precious stor@@” were used in decorating Solomemis temple. Also we are told that rowind about the throne in heaven therejia® a rainbow “‘in sight like unto an em- erald.” (Revelation 4:3) As believers dig into the Haly Scriptures, they soon discover p ious gems of divine truth. For stance, we learn that the Lord Je@gus is building a temple which is mate up of “living stones” in other words, people! (1 Peter 2:5). The Lord Jesus Himself is “the chief corner stone” of the building (Eph@ie ians 2:20-22), and He is also the im, dation (1 Corinthians 3:11). . Often we have heard of preci stones that were not recognize such. People who had them di§ discern that they were real gems. with the Lord Jesus! Many pe@ do not recognize Him. But all have learned to love Him feel Peter “Unto you therefore which be- is precious” or, aS one translation gives it “He ‘is’ the preciousness.” (1 Peter 2:7) Then, in His building, we may be as precious stones — precious to Him Can He say of us: ‘And they shall be mine in that day when I make up my jewels?” (Malachi 3:17) If we live as unto Him we will be letting the sun shine through us as it did through the boy’s emerald and. we may reflect a sparkling brilliance to His glory! lieve, He i GOOD NEWS! A man in Fair Oaks, had always been interested in news- papers and often read five or six papers a day. Gradually he came to realize that all this reading of the news was leaving him depressed be cause there was so much about war violence, accidents, disasters and death! He decided to publish his own newspaper and confine the news: to only the good news! He publishes births, not deaths. The stock market report lists only the stocks that are showing a profit! And he prints bed time stories for children in which no one is ever eaten or killed. We realize that one cannot be ob livious to facts even the bad or sad facts which are around us contin- ually. We shall not be like the: pro verbial ostrich which buries its head in the sand at the first sign of dis- aster. While we cannot disregard all the bad news, we agree with the edi tor of The Aquarian Times that con tinual occupation with the bad news is depressing. In his paper he empha- sizes the fact.that there are millions of U. S. citizens who did not commit criminal offenses last year. There over 4,000,000 college students were not involved in riots or demon- strations and also millions who did not use illegal drugs However, for really good news the best news of all we must turn to the Bible. When Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, the angel said to the shepherds: ‘Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

The question that many members of the Southern Presbyterian Church ate asking these days is this, “why do we have a Plan of Union before out Church for study when we have never decided if it would be wise, or that we could do a more fruitful work in the building of the Kingdom of God. by yoing into an organic -upion with the Northern Presbyterian Church, UNDER ANY KIND OF A PLAN.” [t is the responsibility @f the pro-union group in our Church to answer this question and explain why our Church has been presented with a wedding cere mony (the Plan of Union) before the have been viven good reasons, WITH SUPPORTIN¢ EVIDENCE, to show that or Church would benefit by such a union, or before there has been a decision by the members of our Church, that they want ti enter into such an orgafiie union UNDER ANY KIND OF A PLAN, members From all indications amd evidence this wedding ceremony (the Plan of Umion) has been forced up on our Church by a small but influential group of ministers, by using their influence in the General Assemblies and using the Committee on Cooperation and Union to spearhead the whole Union move ment, and using the funds of the Church to finance their activities, which is gertainly resented by all the members of our Chuteh who think such a Union is unwise, that part of their gifts are being used in this manner, At least 90% of the membership of the Committee on Cooperation and Union is com posed of some of the strongest leaders of the pro union movement: in our Church There has never been im the past, nor is there now, any spontaneous desire for union among the members of our Church at large. It has all been FORCED UPON OUR CHURCH FROM THE TOP. To support this statement | would like to quote from an article in the Greensboro Record covering the October 22nd meeting of Orange Presbytery in which the issues'of Union were discussed. The ar- ticle states, ‘‘many representatives (elders and min isters attending the meeting of Presbytery) took the unofficial position that while a plan of union was being considered, few if amy, had a clear idea as to the purpose, or the results that might follow the merger.” This is true over the entire Assembly. The mental state of any person who arranged a wedding ceremony between two people who had never decided to get matied would be -seriously questioned. Does this wedding ceremony (Plan of Union) that has been arranged between the South ern and Northern Presbyterian Churches appear to be in order when the average member of our Church is completely uninformed as ‘to the real issues that _are involved in this proposed plan of organic union PAGE 8 Perspective Because of sin man lost his perspective, Fyon that day: to this, this all-important quality has > through faith i been regained other that and suf render to Ggod and His Christ What is spiritual perspe to see things in their right other and to God Fimself Spiritual perspective enable is to see. time proper relationship to eternity. ‘The man without this spiritual insight looks at the world around him in terms of what he can vet out of life for himself his own enjoyment his own idvantaye He mat even. look at life and the great social inequalities and IN pUstices all around him ind try to solve them so that this will be a better world in which to live Certainly this is'a much higher motive for life than one spent for self.

More than 6,000 persons from all walks of life packed into a small amphitheater in Freedom Park to honor Graham ag “‘one of the world's great religious leaders” and “the world's greatest. preacher."’ “This has been a memorable occasion,” said the evangelist in response to tributes from the President, U. §. Senators, en- | ; tertainers, social, business and | | religious leaders. “But all the glory, praise and honor I will accept temporarily because someday I am going to give it all to the One who deserves ii— the Lord Jesus Christ.” In farther response, Graham said there were three problems that science had never been able to overcome in this world. He described them as the prob- lems of the human heart, of hu- man suffering and of death. Emphasizing that God could solve all the problems through His Gospel, he said he would “declare dere tonight that I will continue to proclaim this Gospel as long as God gives me breath because this is the only hope for this generation and this world.” A tribute to the 49 - year - old evangelist from President John- on was among the accolades, “T am humble and heartened to join with Charlotte to salute &@ man, who by his birth belongs to you, but who by his endeay ors belongs to the. world,” telegram read in part.

And in addition a tent was erected on the court- house equare in downtown Shreveport where noonday were conducted by Grady Wilson. ‘Several hundred decisions were re corded in these services, some of them in the jails to which the services were piped through loud speakers. Besides, all the churches were requested to have special prayers for the meetings in every group gath- ering of each week.

Graham magnified the Bible as the Word of God. He called for a show of Bibles at every service and in his instructions to those who came forward he insisted that Bible reading and memorizing was the first law of spiritual growth, As & result the local Baptist Book Store reported a 800 per cent increase in Bible gales during the mectings. . Liquor dealers complained that their sales fell. off so heavily that if the meetings continued very long they would be thrown into bank- ruptey, It sae most inspiring and heartwarming to see people by the hundreds streaming, out of the ‘grandstands and across the playing’ ( dat each service in response to the iuvis . tation to “make their calling and. election sure” aud to dedicate their all to the Sa* viour, The secretaries have the namesand. addresses of 8,940 who made some such de cision, mbuy of them first decisions for Christ.

Theron Rankin Executive Secretary The Orient China: ‘‘Contrary to a statement in a recent issue of Time magazine, all Protestant mission boards have not urged all their mis- sionaries to leave China,” Dr. M. Theron Rankin, executive secretary of the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board, told. the Board in its.regular monthly meeting, May 10. “The Board has urged our missionaries to exercise their own judgment in making their own decisions. The Board has repeatedly assured the missionaries that unqualified support would be given any decision to re- main or to leave. “The Board has assumed that the mission- aries would remain in China as long as they Judged their presence helpful. The time has now come when the missionaries themselves, in light of actual experience under the Com- munists, have concluded that their presence is a hindrance and a source of vital danger to, Chinese Christians.” Southern Baptists have only four mission- aries left in China. They are Ruth Byerley Hayes, Wuchow; Ruth Pettigrew, Kwetyang ; Addie Estelle Cox, Shanton; arfd Pearl John- son, Tsingtao.

It is most interesting and I had not cleared the location of the Hugh Graham land any further than when we last discussed it by correspondence. I have been wanting to get up your way to make some on the ground investigations as to land location, but have not had the-opportunity. I have been 80 bucy in the area around Raleigh, for the past several months, that I have not been to Iredell, except I do get by the courthouse sometime. Perhaps when the ground gets dry again, we can scout around a little. I would like to see the David Caldwell locatipn, as it would give me a good base from which to judge other locations. One must know at least one definite base in each locality in order to locate any given tract of land. I will be/glad to have the exact location of the HUGH GRAHAM tract, and deeply appreciate your help and your continued interest in this connection. Plegse give my regards to Mrs. Swann, and I hope that you both are enjoying good health, I am feeling O.K., and have been in good shape as far as I know, With best wishes, 1 am, ‘-Aincerely yours y BHO yy be 4 f 2333 NEBRASKA AVENUE WASHINGTON 16, D. c, Leer Mr. @wann: New thet Christmas is over one endesvc normal an@overtake some things that did not get I think year sugrestion about removing the Robe} Lewis GreWeyerd is a good one.

You may be sure that I will be back shortly. I have copied some of my notes on the land of Rev. Jom Thompson along Fifth Creek, and some other items that wil] interest you. I did net take time to go to the Court Hou: to check on the amount of land that Kev. Thompson. It seem he had two tracts, but it ia hard to tell whether he had or whether it was just the 640 acres. However, -one deed or grant states that it was along the line of his "upper survey," indicating that he had an upper tract. Then the deeds when it was sold by his heirs, may have been to make certain corrections. The heirs made two deeds instead of one, as the usual custom. I will look further into this when I am at the Court H.use. This is just for our "amusement" so no harm done. However, it does make an interesting record. Next time I come up, we will visit the old Lewis graveyard y. if it is not too mch of a walk and not too hil has made me quit climbing hills Or too many steps.

I was mainly interested in knowing if there were otjers there beside him, and also the location of his plaktation. I did not know about Mr. Brawley's series in your paper. I read one entitled the HISTORY OF IREDELL COUNTY, but did not see any @thars on Iredell. I saw this one in our Salisbury paper. I am like you, I believe in accuracy in all historical statements.
