ORE RICH IN LEAD.
Find fin Calhoun County May Prove of
 Great Value.

Annist0n, July 15.-(Spec. al. IA sample of the lead ore recently discov- cred near Jacksonville on the property of Riley and owen Daniel of this city, has been left here. It is exceedingly rich and the vein is fourteen feet in thickness. It Is now learned that the mine was operated prior to and during the war. Great ingots of lead were shipped from that place to Nashville during the war and manufactured into Confederate bullets.
 Saltpeter, of which gunpowder was also made during the war, was mixed extensively four miles north of An niston. The iron of which rifles were made was also furnished by Calhoun County, coming from an old furnace near the present site of Morrisville. South. This furnace was destroyed by the Union men near the close of the war.
 So Calhoun County contributed the rife, the powder and the ball, besides hundreds of her gallant men to the | war between the States. This shows | the great variety of the undeveloped l resources of this section. These things exist in great quantity in the earth, and capital will some day develop | them.
 The trustees of the Synodical College | of the Presbyterian Church to be erect ed in Anniston will meet here for the | purpose of selecting a site for the pro posed institution. At the meeting the | location of the high school for train ing pupils for entrance to the college | will be settled. Several buildings have
 been suggested, but which will be se- | lected Is a matter of conjecture. There are also several sites for the college
 to be proposed, and from these a choice l will be made.

INSPECTED NEW DEVICE
CAPITALISTS CAME HERE TO SEE
 SMOKE CONSUMER.
Mayor Howell of Atlanta, in Party of Visitors Who Witnessed Opera- tions of a Montgomery
 Invention.

party of capitalists of Atlanta and Birmingham yesterday morning in- spected the Mooney smoke consumer and perfect combustion device. recently invented by employees of the Western Railway in Montgomery
 In the party were Hugh Innman, a large owner in the Kimball House of Atlanta, Evans P. Howell. Mayor of Atlanta; Walter H. Harrington. Chief Engineer of the Atlanta Terminal Com pany; Robert Jemison. General Mana ger of the Birmingham Light and Elec- tric Railway Company. and Frank Well l don, Editor of The Common Carrier, | of Atlanta.
 The smoke consumer, which the party came here to inspect. is q device in | which a number of employees of the | Western Railway have collaborated in constructing. The device is arranged l so that the heat units of coal are 50 thoroughly consumed that no smoke l arises and the quantity of fuel used | is thereby lessened.
 The party reached Montgomery yes- terday morning in tke private car or | President c. A. Wickersham of the
 Western Railway, They at once re-
 paired to the Western shops. where the device Is in operation. After thor
 oush inspection. the members of the
 party expressed the opinion that the device did all that was>caimed for 1t.
 The party left at 13o o'clock for At lanta.
 Superintendent w. N. Cox of the Western Railway. who Is one of the CO., inventors of the device, said:
 All I am at liberty to say Is that this party of capitalists came here un- solicited to inspect this machine. They spent some time in looking over 1t and expressed complete satisfaction. The machine. which we claim so thorough ly utiIIzes all of the heat units of coal that no smoke escapes, is the collab-
 orated effort of a number of the Mont gomery employees of the Western Rail- way. As no patent has yet been se- cured would not like to give out their
 names
 While Superintendent Cox did not di-
 vulge the reason of the visit of the Att lanta capitalists and the Mayor of the Gate City. it is understood that the visit is the outgrowth of an injunction arising from damages being done cer- | tain high buildings in Atlanta from the smoke of adjacent structures, and the Mooney device, being heard of by them, it was looked on as probable solution | of the trouble.

FEAR BRYAN HAS
 KNIFE CONCEALED.
Parker Managers in Illinois Intimate that Nebraskan's Help Is Not
 Desired.


 Chicago Special to New York Herald.
 With the return to Chicago of the new Democratic National Committee men comes the first intimation that William J. Bryan's help is not desired in the coming campaign and that steps will be taken to keep the former can didate off the stump. In the frst place 1t is likely that the Grand Ratification is being planned by Mayor Harrison, will be vetoed by the Parker managers. At least it will be stipulated that Bry- an shall not be one of the speakers,
 Party leaders in Illinois assert that Bryan's statement, given out at Lin coin, Neb., has convinced the Parker managers that the former leader would do more harm than good to the ticket if permitted to take the stump. His utterances in the interview are all more antagonistic than favorable to the can didate, whose nomination. he says, was "secured by crooked and indefensfble methods"
 Tt is evident" one authority asserts. that Bryan intends to stay in the party and knife the candidate. He proposes to even up scores with the gold Demo- crats who went out of the party in 1896 and by their bolt accomplished his defeat. Now he declines to bolt be- cause he knows he can knife the ticket more effectively by staying inside the party lines. The only thing that Is left for the Parker managers to do is to repudiate Bryan openly and officially cnd. in my opinion. that is what they N III do."
 When the attention of Mayor Harri- son was called to the report that Bry- ans help was not wanted and that the Parker managers might try to call of the Bryan performance he said:
 We invited MT. Bryan to our picnic because we wanted him to come. Do think he will help the ticket? I don't think anything about it. I know he will. I don't anticipate that any one by suggestion or hint will attempt tC interfere with our picnic or invitations for the same"
