ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
Tennessee Issues Now Only Part of
 Authorized New Stock.

The Wall Street Summary says
 At q meeting of the directors of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, held Friday, the resignation of F. s. Witherbee as a director and vice pres ident. and of s. l.. Shoemaker, as a director, were received and accepted, and George A Kessler, was elected as direc- tor. This leaves three vacancies in the board.
 The directors also authorized the issu- ance of circular to stockholders, offer ing to them the right to subscribe at par to the extent of 15 per cent of the hold ings for $3,a17,2 ,204 of new stock out of a total authorized issue of new stock of $675i. TOO. The balance of the new stock will be only issued as the company re- quires. The payment on the subscriptions will be 25 per cent at the time of sub scription, 25 per cent on July 16; 25 per cent on October 16 and the final % per cent on January IS. 1907 The subscrip- ton books will be opened some time dur ing the present month.
 At 16O the owner of 100 shares of Ten nessee Coal and Iron will get, with his
 
 rights, 115 shares at a cost of $175O0, or say 152 II per cent, Subtracting the stock "ex' from the present rate, Tennessee Coal and Iron rights are worth 7.S3 per cent, If the price is at 160. This price is complicated somewhat by the long terms of payments of the new stock, but this will make comparatively little difference with the cash value of the rights which can be quoted approximately 7s4@7Hs.
 The strength of Tennessee Coal and Iron stock is understood to be due to purchases by those having knowledge of what may be expected as a result of the expenditure of new capital on the com nessee Coal and Iron is producing about 5000 tons of pig iron a month, and is turning nearly 50 per cent of it into finish ed products, such as steel rails steel blooms, steel ingots, muck bar, bar iron, plate, etc. The company will now be en- abIed to convert more, if not all, of it's pig iron production into finished products. It will make cast iron pipe, steel wire and nails. It will also be enabled to in- crease its output of pig iron. It is esti- mated that the new capital, together with the accommodating surplus earnings. will enable the company to increase it's pig iron production in time to million tons per annum. and 1t is contemplated to turn all of this output into steel rails, steel ingots steel blooms, steel wire, plate, nails, muck bar. bar iron and other forms.

Rooney was greatly disappointed SaAr- day when the hearing was postponed, as he has continuously expressed his belief that he will be discharged as result of the proceedings.
 The prisoper is not in good health, nor has he been for some time. He Is said to be suffering with tuberculosis. Imme- diatey after being brought to Birming ham he was placed in a cell and was not given any opportunity to get exercise or fresh air until after a visit from pr. Me- Adory, the county physician, was made necessary because by the prisoners com plaints of ill health Then the physician made the suggestion that Rooney be given exercise, and since that time he has been allowed the freedom of the corridors in the jail two hours each morning, which, he said yesterday, had greatly benehtted

BOTH FOOD
 AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call Scott's Emulsion a food-medicine. It is a term that aptly describes the character and action of our Emulsion. More than a medicine-more than a food, yet combining the vital prin- Ciples of both. It is for this reason that Scott's Emulsion has a distinct and special value in all wasting diseases. There is nothing better to remedy the troubles of im- perfect growth and delicate health in children. The action of Scott's Emulsion is just as effective in treating weak ness and wasting in adults.

people when they heard of the Sheri-

out Captain Saunders, whose many
local friends have felt deeply for him.
The fact that another big steamer
should go absurdly into land without
the slightest apparent excuse, seemed
a confirmation of the notion that some

claim. on the contrary both at once
assumed all responsibility, lifting it

have had a part in causing the disas-
