developments, it appears they have real
ly relinquished claim to, $4,000. On all
these properties separate liens are of
course retained by the original vendors.
That the Cardiff Coal & Iron company
have been pretty hard pressed for funds
of late there can be no question; in fact,
such has been the experience of many
southern enterprises of similar nature.
Their creditors, am told, have been
presenting during the past three months
quite large number of bills for supplies
of various nature, amounting to about
$1,000, all of which, however, have been
met. While there are several suits pend
ing against the company yet, | am cred
itably informed there are none which
have been brought by any of the inves
tors of real estate at Cardiff. Mr.. Young
asserts that the company hold bills re
ceivable of a larger amount than any in
debtedness which still remains on the
property. ] can understand, of course,
how this can be, but are the bills collect
and third notes, given in partial payment
of lots, but as the Cardiff Coal Il Iron
company have been unable to fulfil the
many promises they made when the
property was purchased, can they obtain
Judgment in attempting to force the pay
ment of this paper? The third payments
are now about due a number of second
payments are still in arrears, but there is
less past due paper than had reason to
believe.
Commenting further on the financial
condition of the company, | wish to say
that all official salaries. clerk hire, attor-
neys' fees, ETC., have been cut down to a
minimum. There is, at present. no heavy
salaried officer in the company, in fact
there are no officers here that are now in
its employ. save Mr.. Henry c. Young,
the general manager, one clerk in the
office, and the superintendent at the
mines. Nearly all of those who have
been identified with the company during
the year have left the valley, or are
preparing to leave, in fact they might
just rs well have left months ago, Il,
there has been little for any of them tC
do for some time save hunt quail anC
wild turkey and go fishing. Among the
last to leave was the former general man
ager, VI. VI. Duncan, and X. L. Kelley
the assistant treasurer. Mr.. Young in
forms me that at their iron mines they
are employing about l25 men, that the,
are shipping daily to the lockwood and
Dayton furnaces about 200 tons of ore
and that the profit they derive from this
source defrays the present expense o
running the Cardiff company.

running the Cardiff company.
LANDS IN LITIGATION.
To satisfy rumor which had heard
to the effect that the Cardiff Coal Il Iron
Co. had Il large amount of their lands in
litigation pending settlement in the cir
cult courts, asked Mr. Young to give
me the facts in the matter, which briefly,
are as follows: The company holds IL
ties to 10000 acres of land. which it has
taken possession of, but of this amount
it only claims absolutely good and indie
feasible title to 10000 acres, or about 20
square miles. These lands consist of
tracts of from 300 to 800 acres. Mr..
Young asserts that all of the companv's
iron properties and town sites are abso-
lutcly clear, so far as titles are concerned.
As to Industries, there are, urfortun-
ately, none in the town, nor there never
has been any of any consequence what
ever The company, however, in the
person of Mr.. Young, have made strong
and earnest efforts to secure manufacture
ing plants, but without avail. 1t will be
remembered that it was announced last
July that force of men were busilv en-
ployed on the excavations for large fur
mace Immediately north of the town.
The trenches only, however, were laid for
the foundations. No foundation was
laid In November last. when | visited
Cardiff, strong effort was being made
to secure the removal to the town of the
South Tredegar iron works, of Chat:
tanooga, but this attempt was also fail
ure. The last endeavor on the part of
Mr.. Young to secure industries was that
of the building of factory for the man
ufacture of cotton ties, and he really has
not yet abandoned the hope that he may
be able still 10 accomplish his object.
only hope he will. Mr.. Young is GER
~ deserving of much credit in his sacri-
flee to duty in thus remaining, after all
have fed and continuing his efforts to
build up Cardiff, even in the midst of diff
ficulties seemingly of most insurmount-
able nature. He says it is not his pur-
pose to attempt TO conceal, in single
instance, any portion of the company's
affairs, and that their books are open to
the stockholders. He states it his inten-
ton to still bend all his efforts in the d.
rection of an industrial development and
that he believes, if he is favored with a
reasonable degree of success, that, after
all, Cardiff will "pulI through. His
watchward appears to be Spero meliora.
Is he hoping against hope?
A considerable amount of money has
been invested by real estate spectators
at Cardiff in business blocks, etc, which
is as good as buried unless an increase in
population is effected. If few indus
tries could be established at Cardiff, con-
dtions would be very much improved.
The stores would be occupied, the vacant
houses would receive tenants, property
would be worth at least something, and
