SOUTHERN IRON.
Important Information Upon the Sub
1ect by Colonel George II. Lewis, of
Cost of Pro-
dUctiOn. Etc.

Below we pres ent al interesting eX-
tract nom the letter of Colonel George L.
Lewis, OF M'Minnville. Tennessee, 10 Ex-
Governor Patton, OF Alabama, and other Cen
tenntal commissioners, of Alabam ,, Tennessee
and Georgia, relative TO the cost of manufac-
ture of southern iron. Colonel Lewis is one of
the most estimable and Intelligent enttemea
in our State, and whatever he w.Ites can be
relied upon Us true aud practical. Hence we
so much value The following from his pen:
81 stated in letter, which has been eX-
tensively published, addressed 10 :. ID, Nor
gan, Esq, OF Nashville, In Sep'emb T, 1856 D.
that these states, Tennessee, Georgia and
Alabama, would in time become the Wales OF
America, in the manufacture Of irCn, in con-
sequence of its low cost of production and
est! t!mated that IL could be made in tness
States then at sixteen dollars aud ninety cents
n ton. That statement has been verified :
what was then estimated cast is now reailfv
Iron has be- en-, and is now, made in all these
and will be made here aud ,eIivered
in the valley of the Ohio at a
cost, all told, of sixteen dollars and
thirty-three cents ton. know, gentlemen,
whereof 1 speak, having made estimates late
Iy with great care for a company OF the cost
of erecting four furnaces, with all the modern
improvements in Alabama, and estima es of
the cost Of irOn-ore, coke, lines, one, Superins
tendence, LABOR, etc. ! could itemize the cost,
as did IT in my estimates, down to the wear
and tear OF harness for mules, but that would
make this letter too long. And, gentleman,
now repeat with emphasis what said in a
letter TO the representatives in congress from
4SuhSDoCCl NCOiBlo a ldDdllld, htnluCky ana
Virginia, in January, 1874. These southern
iron States can make and transpor iron TO the
principal markets of the north and east and
sell ii at the cost of production thefe, and real
iZe a tair profit; and | reiterate, too, what l
have stated before, that Pennsylvania, the
great irOn-producng State of the Union,
whose manufacturers have been nursed, and
petted, and tostered by the people Tor several
decades cannot now produce pig-iron at less
than double the cost Of production in these
states, and for the simple reason that Penn
sylvania transports her coal iron ore
from Missouri, Michigan, New Jersey ana
Canada at cost OF from eight to twelve dol
lars a ton, while these states have within
their borders four hundred miles OF iron ore,
coal and Limestone, continuous and persist
ent, and forests Of timber unequaled IN ex-
tent. The cost of iron here is less than the
cost Of the ore in ton of iron there"

There is q ring at the courthouse dealing

EDITORS APPEAL-Tha recent an

in that city she took the yellow-fever. Hear
ing OF this her mother and sister imme lately
departed from tuis city 10 see her. DR.. NJ Meal
was also taken with toe fever, aud II is said
that, shortly after arriving at Memphis, Mrs.
Bgley and her daughter, Miss Bigley, were
seized win the disease too. The latter three
cases have proved 10 be light attacks, although
they have not yet recovered; but the case OF
Mrs. Dr. M'Heal has proved fatal. Friends
here we're surprised Al the intelligence for
when she left here but few weeks ince she
was in perfect health. her body viii arrive
in TINS city at seven O'Clock this morning,
coming on the Panhandle road.
Dr.. r w. Mitchell and l attended
that lady in her last illness, and both
certified to our secretary of the board of
health, and be go published in his Sun
day mornings report, that the cause
producing Mrs. M'Meal's death was in
no wise general, but purely individual
in its character, and had the editor
Of the LeGdsT been little more careful
in gathering his information, dare say
he could have learned from the deceased
lady's father, prominent citizen Of
Pittsburg, both the predisposing and inn
mediate causes Of her death, and thus
al least have spared a sister city SO uneu-
visble a reputation. We have not had
even the remotest resemblance to yel.
low fever for two years, Ind our mOrtu-
aIy record, as reported in the New York
SGnitdrjdn, exhibits a healthier ratio
than Pittsburg, and compares fsvOrably
with the first cites Of the Union.

BAVIS-Died, in Chelsea, Sunday, october
10, 1915, MARY SUSIE, daughter OF J. c. aud
Mary T. Davis, aged thirteen years, four
months and two days.
BY the death of this lovely child brilliant
light has been extinguished, and a night OF
sorrow has crept into a home before bright
and happy on account Of her presence there.
Hers was truly an admirable characteristic
diHiR6nt stadent, the obeiient and loving
de ghtey, fii,3 at1setionate and eyer-oblging
sister, the sincere friend, and above all the
meek, humble and consistent Christian. This
last element in her character is the eXplsna-
tion of all the rest. 1t was because she was a
true Christian tBat she was true and faithful
In everything else. at the age of ten years
she gave her heart to her Lord, and united
with the First Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in this city, in the communion of
which she lived a consistent Christian, snd
exemplited in her short life the doctrines Of
God our Savior" Although in her last illness
she was a great sufferer, yet her faith wavered
not, and Size died calmly and peacefully, in
the hope of the resurrection OF the lust"
To the afflicted household We extend our
heartfelt sympathy, and commend them for
consolation to the grace of him who wept
with Mary and Martha at the grave OF their
brother. A FRIEND.
