Thomas Bean, the Texas million
aire; who died some y.ars sg),
leaving, it was thought, about
so, 900 acres Of land in that state.
So far oily about %, 900 acres have
been located, but the number OF
claimants to his estate multiply like
m ~ flies. The particular line Judge
Williams represents is on the side
of Tom Beams mother, who was
supposed to have been Winifred
Murray, sister of Tom Murray,
who was boss cooper at the Wash
ington navy yard in 1922. Several
Washington people are interested
in the estate, which promises to be
as fruitful of litigation as the case
! of Myra Clark Gaines against the
city of New Orleans. -W ashington

One of the interesting newspaper
events of the day is joint tariff
discussion in this weeks issue of
the Manufacturers Record; Mr..
Edward Atkinson, of Boston, max
ing vigorous and comprehensive
argument in favor of free trade, and
especially for free ore and free coal,
while Gen. Joseph Wheeler, lea 4.
ing Alabama congressman, re.
plies to Mr.. Atkinson, and
claims that free crude materials is
undemocratic doctrine, and that the
south would be seriously hurt by
such policy. The usual position
of the two sections on the tariff is
thus reversed in this discussion.
Some interesting facts bearing upon
this ore and coal question are also
brought out in special letter to
the Manufacturers Record de-
scribing the Bessemer.ore re-
sources of North Carolina,
in which it is claimed
that while free ore would hurt al
other Southern states, it would
prove of great advantage to North
Carolina, because, the writer claims,
that state has unlimited supplies of
Bessemer ores, and can, he says,
make steel at a lower cost than any
other place in the United States.
He describes in some detail the
great Bessemer.ore properties of the
state, and gives the dis
taHce that ores and coke now
have to be hauled to all of the
steelmsking centres of the country.
The Manufacturers Record of this
week, in addition to these articles,
presents a detailed list of the rail
road construction that has gone on
in the South during 1898, and
shows that, Notwithstanding the
great financial stringency, the
South has ad led over 100
miles to its railroad interests. MIR.
Il III. + imonds, the founder of the
Manufacturers Record, after
eighteen months of rest, has lately
resumed the editorial and genera
arrangement of that paper, which
will doubtless do even gre ter work
for the south in the future than i
