MARBLE IN BENTON COUNTY,
"A LARGE QUANTITY NEAR CAMDEN.
Tho Source OF supply is Inexhaustible and
Equal TO the Best Tennessee,

Mr.. j. M. Lashlee left at The
CHRONICLE Office last Saturday
some excellent specimens Of Ben
ton county marble. In converse
ton with Mr.. Lashlee he informed
as that the specimens come from
Beaverdam Bluff, on his domain in
the tenth civil district, about4 miles
eastof Camden, where marble exists
in red, white, mauve and all varie-
gated colors. Some of the speci-
mems, are ered- mottled, and others
have fine lines running in curious
and devious waysaftera vernacular
style. The specimens have been
submitted to thorough practical
tests by competent biologists who
have pronounced them equal to the
best Tennessee marble from the
Knoxville euarries. All the vari-
cites which have been tested are
susceptible of as fine a polish and
finish and some of the colors are
deep and rich. The supply where
the specimens were procured is said
to be irexhaustible, and is eonven-
iently located within a mile of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis railroad.
yet MI. Lashlee has given lit
tie thought to the matter, but he
has been recently convinced of the
superior quality of the marble, and
may. be encouraged to organize a
company at once for the purpose of
developing a plant to quarry it.
Judging from the specimens before
us, we are confident that it would
readily find a market, and the de-
mand encourages the investment Of
capital.

AN ENTERPRIsING GENTLEMAN.

Mr.. James j. WHY will be Prepared to
Meet an Increase of Business.
Prompted by the demands of his
many patrons.in this and adjoining
counties and to be better enabled to
meet the exigencies Of small army
of customers, Mr.. James 8. WHY
informed a CHRoNIcLEreporter one
day this week that he contemplated
remodeling his business house to
conform with his own ideas of what
a model business house should be.
A little over twelve months ago
Mr.. WHY began business for him
self in a modest, quiet way, but by
an indomitable will and an untiring
energy, rapidly rose to the front
rank of Camden's most respected
and leading merchants. He has
been twelve years at,his-present To-
cation, which, though considered a
very large business house for Cam
den at the time of its construction,
his trade has grown to such an ex-
tent he is now planning for larg-
.er and more commodious quarters.
His stock of goods reflect great
credit upon his ability to supply the
large trade he has centered here,
and the fact that in 1891 he more
than trebled his annual sales, our
readers can infer the spirit Of en-
;terprise infused into every avenue
of his constantly increasing trade
He does an exclusive safe or cash
business, and has a uniform repu.
tation for fair dealing and liberal
terms to all alike. This had made
him deservedly popular with the
whole people, and his reliable bus
,iness methods justly entities hin
to the high regard and esteem ii
which be is held.

The point of this argument for the
tugbtiug Republican wool tariff is not
clear.
For several years the farmers have
been notified that the wool tariff was
designed 10 secure TO them protection"
and the home market for their wool aud
TO increase the demand for them. As
matter Of fact, wooden manufacturers
have shown that foreign wool is neces-
sary for purposes of admiXJure with DO
nestle wool 20 secure a durable class Of
goods and that the high tariff On wool
simply increased the use of adulterants
in WOODEN goods.

Wool Manufacturers Association, aud

a report which shows how much real
wool is used now aud was used ten years
ago ia so-caued WOODEN goods" in this
country. These are the figures:
