THESE figures may look high, but
they are reliable. A gentleman in
this county has been offered rs cents
a ton for the phosphate in one acre
of ground; the party making tile Of
fer proposing to be at all the ex-
pense, and obligating himself to
take out all the phosphate there !;
the owner of the land to be at no
expense, the phosphate to net him rs
cents per ton. This acre is thought
to be as rich in phosphate as the
land near it, some of which has al
ready been mined. Estimating from
this basis, supposing this land will
yield as much as land near it has
yielded, and it will pay its owner, at
the price named, over two thousand
dollars per acre. The owner of this
property has more than a hundred
acres of this land. One hundred
acres at two thousand dollars per
acre, would make his little farm
bring him the snug sum of two hun
dred thousand dollars.

their own kith and kin and COM

To OUR mind the most preposter-
Gus proposition that was ever sub
mitted to an intelligent, patriotic
and proud people, was Mr.. McKin-
ley's suggestion that the care of the
graves of the Confederate dead
should be undertaken by the Federal
Government. And yet we find the
matter being seriously considered
by the Charleston reunion. We
cannot imagine a meaner desecra-
ton than to turn those sacredmounds
over to the cold charity of a govern
ment whose sympathies and theories
are and forever must be utterly an
tagonistic to the principles and
cause for which these heroes died.

THE smallpox scare is about over.
That is, the smallpox may not be
quite over, but the scare is. There
has only been one case in Columbia,
and four or five in West End, near
Columbia, and they are all traceable
directly to the negro Tolbert Walker,
who came here from the Carpenter
mines near Mt. Pleasant. This negro
has been in the pest-house now more
than a week, and those who were
exposed to him before he went there
have had time to develop the disease
If they had caught it. His sister,
brother and niece have developed it,
and are now either in the pest-house
with him, or under quarantine else
where, and there the contagion
promises to stop and wear itself out.
There may be a few more sporadic
cases, but no fear can be reasonably
entertained of general epidemic.
1t is in an exceedingly mild type ;
perhaps the mildest ever known
certainly the mildest, DIR. Harrison
says, that he ever saw, and he has
perhaps had more experience with
this disease than any of the Column
bia physicians. SO il the worst
comes to the worst and it hits you,
it won't hurt you much. There is
absolutely no excitement in COlum
bia about 1t, and no interference
with business.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-05-12

COLUMBIA jealous of Mt. Pleasant!
That's joke. If Mt. Pleasant could
grow large enough to have Column
bia as a residential suburb, it would
be all the better for Columbia. We
Columbians will hail with delight
the census which shows Mt. Pleas
ant to be the largest city in the
state. And stranger things than
that have happened, too. But what
does make us tired, is for Nashville
to claim to be headquarters for the
phosphate business in Tennessee.
Nashville had better get newspa-
per and more than one railroad,
before it claims to be headquarters
for anything except May pole dances
by seedy politicians.

If the phosphate holds out there
is no computing the wealth of
Maury County ten or twenty years
from now. Millionaries will be
thick in Maury in less time than
that. And this increase of .popula-
ton and increase of wealth, will en-
nance the value of every foot of land
in this county, whether it has phos-
phate on it or not. A young man is
foolish to leave this county to go
anywhere, and capitalists can find
no better place to invest their dol
lars.

The Maury National Bank officials
have given their old vault, which
has been replaced by new
and better one, to the county, to be
placed in the court house for the
purpose of storing the county
records IN. The county has long
been in need of a good fire-proof
vault, as nearly all the valuable
records there are totally unprotect-
ed, and the bank officials have the
thanks of everyone for their dOna-
ton. The vault will be placed in
Register Latta's office, and at the
next session of the county court an

preparation TO extend the vault walls
into the Clerk & Masters office and
have an additional door there. The
next thing is a new courthouse.

IN a test case before him this
week Chancellor Mcconnell of
Chattanooga decided the 10 o'clock
saloon closing law to be constitu-
tional. Now if it is constitutional
to close at 10 o'clock, why not at
eight? And if it is a good thing to
give towns under 1000 inhabitants
the benefit of the four mile law,
why not give the same blessing to
larger towns and more people?
Why protect the smaller towns from
the curse of the open saloon, and
leave the temptation before the boys
of the cities? That policy seems to
be to make the laws for the greatest
good to the fewest number. The
temperance advocates ought to tax e
these laws up and stretch them to
their utmost limit.

AN article copied in the Nashville
American from the Chicago Record,
quotes Governor Benton McMillin
as "favoring the adoption of a plat
form (by the next national demo-
cratic convention) which will be ac-
ceptable in the East as we'll as in the
South and West" The inference to
to be drawn from the article is that
Mr.. McMillin favors some sort of a
straddle of the currency question
His record is not that way, however,
and We do not believe he has been
correctly reported. If he has, he
had as well retire now from the
Senatorial race; for the man who
succeeds Senator Turley will be a

the courage of his convictions, and
writes his platforms accordingly,

Natural Ga. well. Run Dry

Ten years ago the daily capacity of
the natural gas wells in the Findlay
(O.) fields was 100000, 900 feet. Now il
is down to few million feet, and the
pressure is so low that the supply is
almost useless. This year will mark
the passing of natural gas as fuel in
all of northwestern Ohio. The big pipe
lines which carried gas to Toledo, Tif.
fin, Sandusky, Norwalk and many
smaller places are fast being abandoned
and the pipes taken up. The pump sta
tions of the Northwestern Natural Gas
company are shut down, as are those of
the city of Toledo. which cost the mu-
nicipnlity $1,5O0,o00. The gas would
have lasted many years longer II in the
early years of its discovery 1t had not
been wasted. The famous Krag well,
probably the greatest gas producer ever
opened up, was allowed to burn uncon-
fined for months at time, millions of
feet going to waste daily. All through
the natural gas belt. in the early days OF
the craze, the streets were lit by great
torches, the flames from which some
times fiared up 80 feet into the air.
