Mr.. Daniel. representing the Rich.
mond Phosphate Co., bought the
Jno. A. McMeen farm, on the Car
tpr's Creek pike in the Jameson
neighborhcod, last Tuesday, paying
therefor $l850O in spot cash when
the deed WAS delivered. The place
contains 1856 acres Of good land and
is fairly we'll improved, but it
brought the price it did on the sup
position that it has phosphate on 1t.
However, the purchaser took the
place entirely on surface indica
tions, Mr.. McMeen declining to al
low hole to be dug or to give a
days option He priced the place
at 500 per acre, and stood pat.
From appearances the purchasers
have not made bad bargain; but
this buying on surface indications Is
rather hazardous, and we caution
our home dealers against 1t.
The interest in the Mt. Pleasant
Phosphate industry continues as
lively as ever, and during the past
week another phosphate company
has been organized with Mr.. Chas.
s. Jackson, of this place, president.
and Mr.. CRANBERRY Jackson, secre-
tary and general manager. The
company will mine the phosphate
lands south of town on the Jackson
farms. and the Ed. Hill place, re-
Gently purchased in the Frierson
neighborhood. A spur track from
the main line of the n. f. & s. r. r.. =,
will be put in on the lower farm at
once, large drying sheds, etc., erect
ed at the forks Of the Summertown
and Military roads. The new COM
pauy will do general business of
mining, buying and shipping Of
phosphate rock.-Mt. Pleasant
Chronicle.
w. j. Webster sold the 8. II. Will
liams place this week to the Ameri.
can Phosphate Company. The farm
is on the Santa Fe pike and contains
about 80 acres, and was sold for
so 1000.
Another big deal was consummat-
company, of which Smith Bros, of
Birmingham are at the head, of the
mining privileges on the w. J..
Howard farm on the Mt. Pleasant
pike. This is thought to be perhaps
the richest farm in that famously
rich section. 1t has been carefully
prOspected and is thought to con
tain three or four hundred thousand
tons. The lease is for six years, with
the privilege of renewing it, and the
royalty to be paid is 81 20 per ton.
Messrs. Smith Bros. have some six
or eight associates in Maury county ;
they will organize stock company
with paid up cash capital of $780,
900 for operating expenses. They
estimate that they can market their
rock at a cost not to exceed $3.50; it
is very high grade rock, and it Is
rumored that they have been offered
81 per ton for their output for the
next three years; that would leave a
net profit of $3.50 per ton; they cal
culated that they can handle at least
one hundred thousand tons in the
three years, which would give them
one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars profit. Very valuable stock,
this; so valuable that none of it is
liable to change hands very soon
The Company will be know as the
Howard Phosphate Co.

Here is what Horace Greeley once
said, and the advice is as good to
follow today as it was then. "When
you want an article inserted in news
paper to subserve some purpose other
than the public good you should offer
to pay for it. 1t is not just that You
should solicit the use of columns not
your own to promote your own or your
friends private interests without offer
ing to pay for them. The fact that
YOU are subscriber gives you no
right in this respect; il the paper is
not worth its price, don't take it.
True, you may often crowd an article
in, through the editor's com
placehoy, that you ought to pay for,
but he sets you down as sponge
and is generally right II you wish to
use the columns of any journal to
promote your own or some other per-
sons private interests, offer to Ray for
it; there is no other honest way"

AURrCULAR CONFESSION.
Bishop coleman Expresses His Views IN

Bishop Coleman Expresses MS views III
Communication TO "A New York Paper.
The New York Tribune on Friday
printed the following:
To the editor of the Tribune-Sir:
You ask me two questions:
First-Is or is not the doctrine of the
mass, as held by the advanced Catholic
party of the English Church, in
harmony with the teaching of the
Episcopal Church?
IL is difficult to answer this question
without appearing to do so evasively,
else doing Injustice to those whom you
especially name.
II YOU had formulated what you
understood as the doctrine Of the mass
as thus held, it would have been easy
to give categorical reply.
But theologians arc too often accused
OF holding doctrines which they 40 not
hold for me to be willing to express an
opinion upon so general q statement as
that contained in your inquiry.
This is especially SO when such
subtle and yet crucial distinctions are
| involved in terms appertaining to so
mysterious subject as that of the
Blessed Sacrament of the altar.
l will only add in this connection
| that there cannot be anything truly
| Catholic held concerning it by any
one anywhere that is not in harmony
with the teaching of one branch OF the
| Catholic Church.
| IL had before me any authoritative
statement Of teaching upon tho subject,
d more definite reply could be made.
Second What is the attitude OF the
| Episcopal Church toward tho doctrine
Of auricular confession, either enforced
or voluntary?
1 This inquiry admits of an easy and
precise reply. The church allows,
and in some instances recommends,
auricular confession. In no instance
does she compel it, except as in a
general way she makes it condition
necessarily precedent to absolution.
If one do not caro- for absolution,
one cannot be compelled to confess
but If one, for the ,quieting of ones
conscience, desires dissolution, this, OF
course, presupposes and compels con
fession.
The attitude Of tho church in this
respect Is simply this: No priest has
any right to oblige man to confession,
however much he may in certain in
stances exhort him to it.
Neither should priest refuse tt
hear one's confession who is in earnes
in desiring to make it and to receive
dissolution.
May | add word or two in general
/ am by no means an old man, but
havo already lived through a humble
of ecclesiastical crises. In fact,
living church is hardly ever free from
II crisis.
There never has been q time whel
the Church If England was more aliv
than she is today, and more strongl
intrenched in the confidence Of tn
nation ut large.
Therefore her friends in this countr.
noed not be alarmed about her. He
Divine Head will guide her safel
through this present crisis, as He ha
done many time during her long an
/ eyentful history.
