The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1890-09-16

Men of eminence are exposed to
censure on one hand and liable to fiat
terry on the other. If they receive
repfoaches which are not due to them
they likewise receive praise which
they do not deserve. In a word, the
man In high position is never viewed
with an indifferent eye, but is always
considered as friend or an enemy.
For this reason men in great stations
are seldom seen in their true charac
ters until after their eyes are closed in
death. Then personal enmities and
friendship cease and their virtues and
their faults have justice done them

he returned he went into partner

seen in Mr.. G. H. Hurd, The

Henry Ilin now has branch office in

OF course your readers have heard
something about the wonderful min
eral wealth recently brought to light
in this fair State, long supposed to te
coral reef-an aggregate OF sand,
swamp. alligators and ague. The
phosphate mineral deposits of this
State promise to outstrip in value the
gold and silver mines of California,
while iron ore, lead, zinc, copper, slate,
kaolin and many other valuable de-
posts are being brought to light. Al
ready several men have become mill
ionaires through speculation in phos-
pilates, and the business of discovery
and shipment of the valuable ma
terial has only just begun. Those in
position to know, are very certain
that greater fortunes are yet to be re-
allied. and that man who steps in
nor, with pluck, brains, and little
ready cash, can command his millions
in five years from to-day. There is no
end to the demand for phOsphates for
fertilzing material, but gold silver,
iron and other minerals may glut the

An Opening From Ottawa to the Deer
Park Coal Fields.
Mr.. B. +. Holland, well known in
former years as the manager of the
Utica Cement works, now of Spring
Valley, and a prominent contractor in
building and grading of railroads in
this state, was in the city Friday
holding consultation with Messrs. +.
L. Fiske, J. E. Scott, j. E. Porter and
Others, with regard to the building of
a railroad from Ottawa to the vicinity
'of Starved Rock, in view of opening
up the coal fields in that locality,
where it is generally known that coal
abOunds in large quantities. Mr..
Holland owns l60 acres In that local
ity, and says that from careful sur
vey, it is evident that a three-foot
vein of coal underlies the whole sur
face, or a greater portion of it, and
that only about forty feet win have
to be excavated to reach the coal: that
the coal is Of better quality, and can
be mined cheaper than that of any
ether coal in La Sale county. Mr.
Holland further says. that he will
take the contract for building a road
from Ottawa to these coal fields for

Another saloon Goes Up.

The saloon run by ThomasJ. Doolan
on Madison street, in this city, was
closed by the sheriff Wednesday after
noon at O'clock. In October, 1899,
Doolan & Davy, who were proprietors
of the place at that time, gave their
promissory note to James Il. Maher for
$l25, payable in 80 days. Recently,
Davy sold out his interest in the sa-
loon and DOOlan has been sole proprie-
tor about one month. Tuesday af-
ternOon Judge Snyder gave James Il.
Maher a judgment for Sl47.& and an
execution was issued. The sheriff lev
led and as stated closed the shop.
There is very little liquor in the
place and the fixtures amount to a
mere tritle. 1t is not thought the en-
tire bag of tricks will sell for more
than $35 or $50.
