Big OPTIONS ON
PHOSPHATE LAND.
Nashville Man Secures Options
On Places of Mrs. Clark
Taylor, Melvin Akin And
John Cox, Situated Near
Columbia. for 1915, 00O.-
Big Deal May Result.

1t is not improbable that gigantic
phosphate deal may be made here II
the next few weeks, which will rep
resent purchases amounting to nearl,
800, 900. The land is situated almos
within throwing distance OF Colum bic
lying on Bear Greek, near Beechland
about four miles from this city. There
are In all something over eleven hun
dred acres. and it is said that the lane
contains magnificent deposits of fine
phosphate rock.
Mr.. Robin Jones. well-knowr
phosphate dealer Of Nashville, was
here Friday. and the Herald learns
that he has secured an option on the
place of Mrs. Clark Taylor for $500, 600
containing 800 acres, 800 of which con.
tain large phosphate deposits. The
farm of Mr.. Melvin Akin was also op-
toned by Mr.. Jones for 500, 600. II
contains aoout 800 acres, and the rock
found there has been analysed anC
found to contain over so per cent bone
phosphate. Mr.. john Cox's place, con
tanning 800 acres, was also optioned al
S75, 900 by Mr.. Jones. The rock on
this place has also bsen analysed, and
Averages ONCI 10 per Cou1 JULIO Pnoo
phate. These farms ali JOIN each
other, and 1t is believed there Is one
large bed OF phosphate running under
all three of them. The land has been
prospected to slight extent, and the
sur face indications are that the de-
posits are bountiful.
Mr.. Jones, however, will put a force
of prospectors at work on the land at
once, and will thoroughly prospect all
three places.
Leading phosphate men here are OF
the opinion that these farms contain
rich deposits OF phosphate rock, and
that they will certainly be sold snort
ly, as the phosphate fields of Tennessee
which have hitherto been helping to
supply the market with rock are grad
ually being worked out. and new
fields will have to be found and opened
up.
The development of this fine bed OF
rock, If it proves to be as large as Is
now thought, so close to Columbia,
will mean great deal to this city.

THE INTERURBAN RAILROAD.
Attorney Frank Bond Says Work
Will Begin Before Aug. a5.

Special to the Herald.
Nashville, Aug 1.-The right of way
granted by the County Court to the
Columbia & Gallatin Interurban Rail.
road will expire on Aug. 10. The
original limit expired some time ago
but the April term of the County
Court granted an extension to Aug. IL
of this month.
The recent imbroglio of the promoters
and capitalists in the company caused
considerable speculation regarding the
building of the road, and by many it
has been believed that the project had
petered out.
Frank p Bond was seen Friday, but
was adverse to stating what would be
done regarding the expiration OF the
time limit. He was positive in his state
ments, however, that the company
would not forfeit the right.
1--WE could, ! suppose, rely on what
little has been DONE he said, "and re-
tain the franchise, but we do not intend
TO do so. We are going to work imme-
,diately and build the line, and you can
rest assured that when Aug. 10 rolls
around great deal of work will be
done, more than enough tt retain The
rights of way" Hsf
Mr.. Bond was asked II work would
be stopped on the road as soon as the
time limit was passed. and little work
accomplished, but he stated emphati-
cally that the building Of the road
would be pushed rapidly regardless OF
the time limit.
Mr.. Bond would not discuss the re-
cent 'unpleasantness" which obtained
among the prime movers 10 the enter
prise, and contented himself with stat
ing,that the road was going to be built.

the trial in Jackson, testified yesterday
that he saw Jett go into the court
house at signal from Tom White and
