Unanimously Adopted In the Rail-
road Convention In Knoxville.
Apr. 8.
At the mass convention Ia Knox
vile April 3rd with representatives
from Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia
North and South Carolina, when
the Ohio River, Knoxville and
Tidewater Railroad was properly
begun, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, There is without
question necessity and a demand
for a line of railway extending from
the coal fields of Kentucky and
Tennessee TO Tidewater;
WHEREAS, This has been so clearly
recognized for the past fifty years
that various efforts have been
made to construct such a railway,
lines have been located and much
work has been done towards con-
struction;
WHEREAS, The reasons for fail
ure in each case, heretofore, have
been exceptional and in no way
implied any change in the con-
ditions demanding the road;
WHEREAS, These reasons being
now stronger than ever, from the
fact that the mineral and other
resources of the various States
through which the road should
pass have been developed,
and have been found to be richer
than ever anticipated, an unlimited
market for coal and timber awaits
the construction of this road at
Tidewater; and,
WHEREAS, The number OF enter.
prises that would absorb capital
with an assurance of absolute GER
tainty and profit are orr limited
than heretofore; therefore,
Resolved, That the time has
come to build this road, the con-
ditions being more favorable than
ever before.
Resooed, That this convention,
having heard the plan proposed by
Col. Albert E. Boone, cordially en-
dorse the same, believing that his
proposals are reasonable aud such
that promise success.
Resolved, That having investi-
gated the record of Col. Boone, we
believe he comes to this work flu ly
equipped by ability and large ex-
perince to carry to successful
issue his plans.
Resolped, That we for ourselves,
and the sections we represent,
pledge Col. Boone our enthusast ic
support, and that we recommend
the raising and expenditure of such
preliminary funds as may be neces
sary to put this road in a shape to
be considered as by the ctpi-
talists who will be asked to take Its
bonds.

A few weeks ago Maine young
man bought pair Of socks contain
ing note saying the writer was an
employe Of the Kenosha (Wis.) knit
ting works and wanted a good hus-
band. She gave her name, and re-
quested the buyer, if an unmarried
man, to write with view to matri-
mony. The young man who found
the note considered the matter in all
its phases, and decided to write to
the girl. He did. Awaiting the
answer with considerable anxiety, he
was at last rewarded with curt let
ter saying that the girl was now the
mother of two children and had been
married four years, and the letter he
had answered had been written ever
SO long ago. The young man hunted
for solution. He found it. The
merchant of whom he bought the
socks does not advertise.
| A romantic marriage occurred at
the residence of DR.. Warner, pastor
of the First M. E. Church, yesterday
afternoon. The contracting parties
were Miss Maggie Henry of Mary.
vile and Mr.. c. A. Davis of Ohio.
The bride who is the handsome young
daughter of Captain w. H. Henry, of
Maryville, had started to visit friends
in Jefferson county and her parents
were not aware when they put her on
the train that the handsome athletic
young man who caught hold Of the
rear platform was so soon to be her
husband. But the fates so decreed
and the tram had hardly got out o.

A NOTED CASE,
The Rockford Cotton Mil case de-
cided by the Court Of Appeals.

The Rockford Cotton Mil case de-
cided by the Court of Appeals.
Howard bank VS.. Rockford Cotton
mills ct al and w. c. Chumlea re.
ceiver VS.. F. P. Toof ct al. Modified
and remanded, Costs to be paid out OF
proceeds in the hands of clerk and
master. Opinion by Wilson; Judge
Barton dissenting.
This last case was of unusual interest
as It's decision is stated to practically
save the Gen. r. N. Hood estate
from ruin and also to save DR.. p. M.
Bartlett's financial condition from
being seriously injured. In fact when
the doctor was informed of the de-
cision ofthe court yesterday he is
said 10 have broken down and actuly
shed tears of joy.
Toof & Co. were carrying on the
Rockford cotton mill company
Toof hadn't the means to operate it
and it was proposed to issue first
mortgage bonds on the property.
Gen. Hood took charge of it and
drew up the bonds and the company
was made chartered institution.
These old mills have been on the
Little River about forty years.
when it was chartered it was Known
as the Rockford cotton mills; SIS, 900
in bonds were issued on the property,
valued at $3.50, 900. These bonds
were sold to raise funds to carry on
the business with. Toof owned all
the stock. Gen. Hood was presi-
dent, Dr. Bart ett was vice president
and Joe Burger secretary.
The company proceeded to raise
its money. Toof was informed by
New York parties that if the company
would make another certain number
of yarn which the mill could not then
make it would do more profitable
business.
| The necessary outfit for making
that yarn was secured. But other
mills made the same expensive
changes and when the Rockford
company was ready to put the yarn
on the market, it had become unprof-
table. Then the money that lad
been borrowed was demanded and it
was impossible to make the payment,
and individual securities had it to pay
and the mills were stopped run
ming.
The old creditors Of Toof & Co.
had been notified of the organization
of the stock company and had accepted
in lieu of the company's paper the
paper Of the stock company
Mr.. Howard of Gainesville, Ga.
has been furnishing cotton to this fac
tory over quarter of a century
He was told of the organization Of
the stock company and there was ow-
ing to him over $4,000, which the
company paid. He solicited the
company to buy cotton of him.
When it stopped work again it OWED
Mr.. Howard $I4, 900. He and 9th
er creditors endeavored in the court
to make the directors responsible fol
all the debt of the company. Eve
one Of the directors not only did no
make a dollar but lost by going into
the company.
The desision of the court is that thu
directors had done nothing at all t.
render them liable and that they were
wholly acquitted of any liability

SANFORD BOOMING.
The Lottery Company on Its Last
Legs.


Sanford, Fla, March. 14-No matter how
the freeze may affect other cities in this
state it is evident that Sanford, the Gate
City of South Florida" is not badly frost
bitten. The spring is opening up with
unusual signs of activity, and much de-
sired and valuable improvements are al
ready under way The old two-story
wooden building opposite the First Ma
tional Bank, formerly occupied by the
venerable, but now suspended, South
Florida Journal, has with its smaller COM
panions, been moved away to make
room on that valuable central corner
for a handsome brick block, to extend
over the adjoining vacant lot to the
Pico block, owned by the Plant system
This enterprise alone would indicate
continued confidence in Sanford's future
prosperity, but there are other similar
improvements starting up One of these
is a new brick block near the postoffice,
while a handsome new brick block is near
ly completed next to the Gate City Chron-
icle Office in the uptown section of the
city
Speaking of the "Pco Block" this use
of the initials of the Plant Investment
Company has multiplied and now we have
the "Pico Restaurant" and the "Pico
Dredge." But Col. B. w. Wrenn has
struck a new chord that is spreading
much enthusiasm. His west Coast Line"
pictures and advertisements have cap
tured the masses and thrown "Pico" and
PLANT System" into the shade for the
present, at least. 1t was a happy idea,
and the tourists who are captured by It
win certainly find that not one-half has
been told of the beauties and attrac-
tions Of the West Coast" Especially
is it the paradise for the sportsman and
the disciple of Walton.
The people Of Orange county quite agree
with the editorial comments of the Morn
ing News on Senator Calls lottery reso-
luton. 1t was simply intended to ac-
complish a personal object and not to
strangle a dying enterprise. When the
Louisiana lottery came TO Port Tampa
with its "Printery" the good people of
this county were the first to denounce il
and begin an organization to suppress its
baneful influences in this state as well
as elsewhere. And the work went glorl-
ously ahead until death, disaster ana the
firm grasp of the law put the enterprise
into a dying condition. The death of
Messrs. Morris and Conrad was fatal to
the success of the corporation, and il has
been losing money and power ever since
There is no need to keep up a useless
warfare against 1t when congress has
knocked out its last prop. In less than
two years its "Printery'' building at Port
Tampa win be turned into cigar factory
and the printers scattered broadcast.

relieved of the heavy responsibility that
attaches to the office of Watch Dog Of

Of the appropriations committee in the
Fifty-third congress, Gen. sayres declares
that it is almost impossible to imagine or
estimate the personal and political incon-

minority of the same committee in the
next congress, and he is curious to know
who is to be his successor in the chair
manship. He regards the contest as be
tween Representative Henderson of Iowa
and Cannon of Illinois. The indications
are favorable to the selection of the for
mer, as he is a closer friend to Mr.. Reed
than Mr.. Cannon. 1t is possible that Mr..
Reed has entirely different views on the
subject when the reorganization of the
House is at hand, which may induce him
to pass over both of the leading aspir-
ants for the place. and select a new man
to preside over the appropriations com

greater than IT WIS upon the retiring

supposed to be favorable to liberal ap-
preparations, as was demonstrated in the
Fifty-first congress. 1t is the opinion of
Gen. Sayres that the future chairman of
the appropriations committee has "A dis
agreeable task before him In the next
congress the ways and means committee
