Southern phosphate deposits ere
practically the only American deposits
of the kind of commercial value Even
they, though, have felt the impulse of
the new era, whether they be in the
older fields of Florida or in the newer
ones of Tennessee. With the destruct-
ion of the forests of the Middle West
and West, Southern lumber is becom-
ing dominating in its field and will be
the leader whenever the effort shall be
made to combine the lumber interests
of the country. In West Virginia and
Kentucky there are tendencies to-day
toward placing the coal-mining indus
try in closer touch with the bitumin-
Gus interests elsewhere, while some of
the fuel in the Alabama region has al.
ready been brought within the infu
ence of the power conferred at Pitts

number, and the Will provides that as
rapidly as the minors attain their ma
jority each is to receive one acre OF
land at the Cannon farm for building
site and 81, 900 in cash. The same pros
vision applies to the unmarried sons
and daughters, who have not yet re-
ce1ved the ground and money. Tt is
further provided that when the young
est child shall have attained its major
ity and the other purposes for which
the personal estate has been set aside
have been pIished, the property
shall be divided equally between the
children.
The youngest child is Georgeus Can
non, son of Mrs Caroline Y Cannon,
and Is years of age.
The remainder of the property is to
be transferred to the George G. Cannon
Association, the estimated value beng
S800,O0O This portion of the estate

cation stock, the big Mormon store,

citation are all members of the Cannon

ST. LOUIS, May IA special tele-
gram from Chester, Ills, states that
the steamer City of Paducah Of the St.
Louis and Tennessee River Packet
company, struck a snack while backing
out from Brunkhorn landing, between
here and Grand Tower, about 0 clock
last night, and it is repaired that one
passenger was drowned. that eight or
nine of the crew are missing, and that
the boat will be a total loss. The
steamer City of Clifton Of the same line
passed up shortly after the accident and
took on board the crew and passengers.
Captain Massengale, agent Of the
Packet line here, is in receipt of dis
patch from the clerk of the City Of Pa
ducah, but it simply notes the sinking
of the boat, without giving any details.
Captain Massengale states that the City
of Paducah had very few passengers
and was lightly loaded as TO freight.
This would indicate that the reports
sent out from towns several miles from
the river regarding heavy loss of life
cannot be true.

a CORPORATION WITH a SOUL.

There is much truth in the familiar
saying that corporations have no
souls, 'but it does not apply in the case
of the Illinois Central Railroad, which
has done much to better the condition
of It's army of employees, and the re-
suit Is the latter are loyal to the COM
pany and true to the trusts reposed In
them. Unlike the majority of corpora
tions, the Illinois Central Railroad Is
willing to share its prosperity with its
employees, and on the first day of the
present month made an advance of 5
per cent in the wages of the S,948 ma
chlnists and helpers employed in its
shops, thus increasing its pay roll $500,
600 year. To the credit of the COM
pany, it should be said that the advance
of wages was entirely voluntary on the
part of the management of the railroad
and had been agreed upon prior to the
demands of the machinists for an IN
crease of wages. The Illinois Central,
however, has done more than this to
show its appreciation of the services of
its employees Pursuant to the action
of the board of directors taken at
meeting last February,a system of pen
sions will go into effect on July next,
and employees of the road, from presi-
dent down to the man with the pick,
when retired from active service be-
cause of age or who have become inca
pacltated to properly discharge the
duties devolving upon him, will be
benefcIaries of the pension system.
Each retired employee who has been
ten years or more in the service will
receive a pension based on the average
salary received during the last ten
years

NARROWLY ESCAPED A MOB
Negro In a Carolina County Shows
His Innocence.

COLUMBIA s. c., May 13.-Willie
Wilson was acquitted Of the charge of
murder at Orangeburg yesterday. Three
months ago hundreds of men in that
county-perhaps some of those who
tried him-were trying to lynch him.
One evening while Mr.. and Mrs. j.
H. w. Hydrick were driving on a public
road, some months ago, their buggy was
driven into from the rear, they were
thrown out and Mr.. Hydrick so badly
injured that he died. Wilson, a negro,
claimed his horse was running away
and unmanageable, but others declared
he was drunk. To escape the 1ynchers
he was hustled out Of the Orangeburg
Jail and brought to the peniteatiary.
Deputies with Winchesters guarded
him during the trial, it being feared an
attempt might be made to kill him.

Conway Takes the First One.

In an exciting game, full of both errors and brilliant plays, the Con- way ball team defeated the hither- to unconquered South Ends of Lit tie Rock, Monday, 8 to 5.
 It was one of those old d-fashioned games, ill which the players used their jaws almost as much as their hands. A g eat deal of unnecessary kicking was done OH both sides. It began in the first inning when Martin, of Little Rock, who went in to umpire the game, made such a rank decision in favor of the South Ends that our captain re- fused to continue the game with him holding the indicator. Rob erts, of the college nine, was sub stituted, and his decisions seemed to be very fair.
 Both teams piled Up lot of CT TOTS, most of them inexcusable. Frauenthal, who generally plays like a professional at short, was up i'll the air and allowed several easy ones to get by him. Petterfer, whom the South Ends stationed at first, succeeding i'll accumulating five raw ones to his discredit, and the score would have been different if he had played the game that Bullion did for Conway. A re- dccmng play i'll the field was Moses sensational running catch i'll the ninth.
 Alexander's pitching was the feature, although his base work was amateurish i'll the extreme. He sent slow curve up around the necks of the South Finders and ten times they famed at three of them 10 no avail. Ferrell's work i'll the box was clever, but every Conwayite that faced him connect ed safely with his benders.
 The game was witnessed by the largest crowd that was ever on the ground before, nearly 1000 being present. Cow bells, horns, tin pans, everything that would make noise was used by the enthusias- tie rooters. About 50 Little Rock people were in attendance.
