A COTTON MILLIONAIRE GOING
INTO COAL AND IRON.
From the New York cotton, August 6

The negotiation which has been
pending in Nashville for sale Of the
Tennessee Coal & Railway Company
and Sewanee Iron Furnaces have
been concluded Gentlemen repre-
senting combination Of New York,
Boston. and Nashville capitalists
have purchased the entire property,
including the Mountain railway, 25
miles in length, the mines and coal
bed embracing over 10000 acres Of
solid coal running with a thickness Of
from four to eight feet together with
the iron furnaces and over 400 coke
ovens now in operation. The fur
mace is a new one, admirably con-
structed and now turning out seventy
five tons of iron daily. The coal
mines are yielding a daily average
of goo tons per day, and sold as
rapidly as can be delivered, The
fixed improvement on the property,
aside from the coal-bed, cost cOnsid-
erably over a million dollars. The
coal is mined with great facility and
cheapness and is regarded the very
best in the Southern country for
coke-making and for steam purposes.
Competent judges and practical ex-
perts have always pronounced it to
be the finest property of the kind
south of the Ohio river.
An active, able management is
provided for, and it is to be extern
sively developed and conducted on
strictly business principles.
The directory is expected to con-
tain such names as c. G. Baldwin,
President of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railway Company; John H.
Inman, of Inman, Swami & Co.,
New York ex-Gov. Jas. d. Porter,
President Nashville, Chattanooga &
st. Louis Railway; Nathaniel Bax-
ter, President First National Bank
of Nashville; J. C. Warner ofRising
Fawn Furnace Company Thomas
O'Conner, of Cherry, O'Conner &
Co., Nashville; e. W. Cole, President
East Tennessee, Virginia q Georgia
Railroad B. r. Smith, of New York,
and Col. Arthur S. CoIyar, of Nash
vile. Nathaniel Baxter, President
of one Of the largest banking insti-
buttons in the South, has agreed to
accept the presidency of the new
company and devote his especial at
tention to the enterprise.
In brains, capital and standing
the organization is one of undOubt-
ed solidity. The assured success of
the enterprise on far more extern
sive scale than heretofore is amply
indicated in the perSonnelof the dlrec-
tory and in the willingness Of as
Ievel-hcaded and well-fxed a bust
ness man az Mr.. Baxter, to devote
himself heartily to the development
of this important home industry 1t
is a singuIarly fvrtuitous combination
OF mining, manufacturing, transpor-
tation and banking alliances, backed
by almost unlimited capital. One Of
the New York capitalists, Mr., John
H Inman, represents in his individ-
ual person a capital Of two million
dollars. This is his first departure
from the line of his legitimate COM
mercial field of cotton with an indus
trial venture towards the develop
ment Of his native State and section,
in whose advancement and pros
perity he takes a lively and sincere
and pride.

Major Benyaurd, Of New Orleans,
while at the mouth of Red river the
other day, made observations which
satisfied him that the Mississippi is
cutting for itself a channel to the
gulf through the Atchafalaya river,
which will in the near future be-
come its outlet and leave New Or
leans on a shallow stream. With a
single exception the New Orleans
papers attach but little importance
to Major Benyaurd's evil prognosti-
cation.

The drought continues through
out the country. Reports from Vir-
ginia and North Carolina are of a
distressing character. Reliable in
formation is that the tobacco and pea
nut crops and corn crops are almost
a total failure. Many farmers are
selling stock for want of forage.

feel your appetite failing and a heavy,
Oppressed feeling in the stomach, take a

once. A stitch in time saves nine.

Regulate the Secretions.

In our endeavOrs to preserve health
it is of the utmost Importance that we
keep the secretOry system in perfect
condition. The well-known remedy
Kidney-WOrt, has specific action on
the kidneys, liver and bowels. Use il
instead of dosing with vile bItters or
drastic pill. It is purely vegetable, and
is prompt but mild in action. 1t is
prepared in both dry and liquid form
and sold by druggists everywhere

The supply of water to the Tired

The supply of water to the Tired
egar Works, GalleSo Flour Mills,
and several other establishments, in
Richmond, Va, was cut off by order
of the Mayor, and the water turned
into the dam in James river, from
which the city water works obtain
a supply. This act makes neces-
sary the suspension of these works,
and great loss will result, as it throws
thousands out of employment.

A duel was fought near Warren
ton, Va, on the 18th, between Jas.
G. Scott and Robert B. Campbell,
young lawyers Of that place. Scott
used an English "bull dog" and
Campbell went in with a Colts ar
my. Scott was shot through the left
hand and demanded another shot,
which Campbell acceded to, but
the second took the pistols from the
combatants and fired them in the air.
Campbell is the son-in-law of Col.
John S. Mosby, and is the readjust-
er candidate for the House of Dele
gates from Fauquier. The duel grew
out of insulting language used in a
political dispute.

There is general disposition to
laugh at Governor Hawkins attempt
to prepare for the Presidents funer-
al in advance Of his death. The
Charleston NelCS and Courier, which
has taken an intense interest in Mr..
Garield's case and manifested great
sOlicitude for his recovery, thus hits
the general sentiment:
Governor Hawkins has made a fool
OF himself very successfully, without
good reason and without excuse. He
Is not an undertaken nor a journalist
There was no obligation upon him tG
call for a national funeral, and he only
did it TO advertise himself at the public
{ Expense at a moment Of general sorrow.
He IS advertised, but not in the way he
expected"
