PALMETTO POINTS
GIVEN IN BRIEF T
Mining Phosphate Rock.

The board Of phosphate commission
ers has acted unfavorably upon the
petition of the Beaufort board Of trade
for the reduction Of royalty upon phos-
phate rock mined In the waters Of the
stato. The petition vas presented by
tfe mayor, Capt. G: e: Townsend; and
by Mr.: W: j. Thomas, a prominent at
torney, who was a member Of the
Legislature from Hampton county a
few years ago. The members of the
board present were Governor ilesward,
Hon. U. x. Gunter, Attorney General;
\. w. Jones. Comptroller General, and
.Messrs. d. H. Tompkins, of Ninety-Six,
and. ): II; Manilihs; of Little Rock.
The mining OF phosphate III this
State is at. a low state, actording to
Representatives of the Beaufort. board
OF trade: The royalty on rock is now.
25 cents per- ton, and some time ago
the Central Phosphate Company re;
quested that the royalty be reduced to
121s ,cents,..as there is now no money
in the mining Of the rock with the
competition from other Points: This,
petition was refused as the money is
pledged to secure the State bonds, the
amount being fixed by law at $4,000.
Today the board of trade of Beaufort
stated that the closing Of the conf
pany's. works about .,nnished thq
business in this State, The board yes:
terday did not order the reduction be.
cause it felt that as the money is
pledged to the security Of the State
bonds the royalty now charged is lit
tie enough.
In 1903 the income from this source
was $237,00O aid the royalty was 81 per
ton: Slice thehs however, the royalty
has been Steadily reduced dnd, all EFF;
forts made to keep up the business has
been of little avail. AS result the
Stono Company is now the only one in
business, theirs being a little hand
picking affair and the income last year
was about s16,0U1.
