convince any one that that is the last

looking for "dead town. Indeed,

there are as many people in the place
now as there were four years ago, or
tnat as much phosphate rock Is being
mined. But the conditions have
changed. In 1898 and 1899, the place
WAS on Wild unnatural boom The
vnornity of the phosphate deposits and
their value had just become known,
and there was great stampede OF

numbeIless smaller mires which had

mines owned by companies, whose
managers were wise enough to cut
down their production. In the course
of a couple of years conditions began
to adjust themselves. Prices began to
rise. And for the past twelve months
they have been good ana tlrm and the
demand better than for months

Today Mt. Pleasant is enjoying the
most solid prosperity 1t has ever had.
The mines are running full crews OF
men, and the town has better trade
than ever. A prominent merchant of
the phosphate city, one of its most
business men, who, by
the way, went to the place half a
dozen years ago with small pack of
goods on his back, told me that he
was getting more trade and better
trade than ever. The explanation of
the matter is, that while there are not
80 many mines there as four and five
years ago the town no longer rests for
support upon them alone, and has
reached out and Is now drawing trade
from Lawrence and Lewis counties,
and from ali the northwestern part of
Maury. This is a substantial trade

by the price OF phosphate. Its the
trade of farmers, timber men, etc. 1t

Mr.. Conner stated to Herald

be built, but every detail would have
to be perfected before the necessary
ca pital would taKe hold of the road
and put it through He said that was
the purpose of the partys visit Fri

There has been an impression among
many of our citizens that the Inter

that that was out of the question;
that the electric railroad could not
possibly be built along any pike IN
use, and that it would go through the

Comma Was Worth $4,000.

A dispatch to the Chicago Inter
ocean under date OF Columt u'. Ind,
October 10. says: :,
The Beatty will case, involving the
ON ission from the instrument OF a
comma, which, had it been inserted,
would have been worth S45 900 to Johu
Beatty, was decided against the latter
today by Judge Hord. The punctua'
ton mark which was omitted Is the
cause of the suit.
THE court said that comma neces-
sary to the easy construction OF the
will had been omitted; that, had IT
been placed in the will, it would have
settled the intention OF the instrument,
ara bis ruling was made upon the
presumption that the comma was
purposely omitted, or, rather that
the intention of the testaoor was that
the comma shoulc Da left out.
The case will be appealed to the su-
preme court.

FOOT BALL GAME
Today's Struggle at River
side Park Between Bran
ham Il Hughes aud Nor
gan Teams Accusing Much
Interest.

Interest in the Thanksgiving foot
ball game between the Branham d
Hughes tea n of Spring Hill and the
Morgan team from Fayetteville, has
grown rapidly, and there Will be
great crowd to witness the struggle
to day All of Spring Hill
will be here, including nearly all
the two hundred students OF the
Branham e. Hughes school, and a
special train will probably come over
from Fayetteville with the Morgan
boys, and The city Will be running
over with partlsans of the two teams,
with the school colors futterlng every
where. The B. & II. colors are purple
and white, and the Morgan colors are
the same as Vanderbllt-Old gold and
black
Both teams are in good condition
and are worsing at hard practice every
day. A telephone MESSAGE from
Spring Hill to the Herald this morn
ing says that the b. & Il. boys are all
ready In fine fettle and promise to give
their antagonists the fight OF their
lives. Two of the regular team
Thompson al center, ard Woolard rs
right guard, will not be in the game
on account of sickness. This is
to b. q II. rootsrs,
because both of these men were good,
headv players. ana gave strength to
the team. However, their places nave
been we'll taken by substitutes who
are fast rounding into strong men, and
it is believed that Thompson and
Woolard s absence will not be felt by
the time the Gay for the battle arrives.
The game will be called at 2;3O
O clock. Arthur Watkins, of Frank
lin, an old Vanderbilt boy, who once
played with the Commodores, has been
selected as one of the officials. The
other has not yet been chosen.
