rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain

feels the effect Of this acid poison and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.

GONE THROUGH.
Big Phosphate Consolidation an Ac-
cOmpIIshed Fact.
Messrs. Rogers and Gray Telegraph
the News. - Engineers Begin
Work Next Week. The Mag
nltude of the Deal,

The consolidation Of the Mt. Pleasant
Phosphate fielos seems to be an
accomplished fact. Information of u
most positive character has been re
ceived hele and at Mt Pleasant during
the last twenty-four hours which is of
such direct character that there seems
no longer to be any doubt that the Mt
Pleasant phosphate fields will be under
one management within a fortnight
Rnmors regarding the perfection of
the big deal commenced to fly late Wed
nesday afternoon, and yesterday a
Herald reporter straddied the rumors
and rode them down kilograms have
been received from Messrs. Rogers and
Gray, the Philadelphia parties who are
promoting the deals, and who are now in
New York, to the effect that the consoli.
dation has been formed and that engi
neers will arrive at Mt Pleasant next
week to begin the work of surv ying the
phosphate properties, making excaya-
tons, etc. 1t is said that this work will
require a large number of workmen,
probably more than are now engaged in
mining in the Mt Pleasant mines. Mr..
Henry Dotterer, assignee of the American
Phosphate Co., who has been in close
utilization with the promoters of the
combine, was summoned to Philadel
phia last night by Messrs. Rogers and
Gray and left at once for that city.
AS to who constitutes the power be
hind the throne-the man with the
check book-rumors conflict 1t is the
general opinion, however, that the Vir-
ginia Carolina Chemical Co., of Charles
ton, s. c., will be the purchaser. This
Company is immensely rich, being capt.
talized at something like Sl2,000.000,
and owning, already, extensive phos-
phate interests, it is more than likely
that it is the buyer. Still, there are ru-
mors of other prominent capitalists be.
ing interested in the deal whose names
have not been given to the public.
The consolidation embraces every
piece of phosphate land in the Mt. Pleas
ant field, with the exception of the Ten
nessee Phosphate Co, and few indi-
vidual properties Enormous interests
are at stake, something like 5000 acres
being involved The number of tons
of phosphate rock on this land is va
rionsly estimated at from three to ten
million tons. and the price, it is said
will be 81 100000 1t will be one of the
largest transactions ever recorded in the
State
1t is also said that all the phosphate
lands in Lewis, Hickman and Perry
counties will also be taken in by the con
solidation. The matter will be set.
tied within a few days, when all the de
tails will be published. When it is set
tied the HERALD will be here to give
the news Of it in its usual up to- date
fashion.
