MONEY HOARDE:D
FOR MANY YEARS
TURNED LOOSE BY GILES couN-
TY MAN STRICKEN WITH
SUDDEN FEAR.

PULASKI, Tenn, June 2.-Stricken
with the fear that he would be muir
dered for his money, Willis Smith, an
aged resident of the Fourth District,
has flooded the county with money
which he has been hiding for many
years. The money, amounting to fully
$50, 900, consists of half dollars and
quarters of the coinage of two genera
tions ago, and does not give evidence
of having been handled.
Smith, who is "a years old, kept his
money in fruit jars hidden about his
home, on the left prong of Shoal
creek. until some one told him that he
was running the risk of being muir
dered by keeping his money. He then
hurried, with it to a local bank, and
the flood of old coins followed.
Some time ago Smith put some
money in bank, but before he went
out some customer, handed the cash
Ter a check, which the latter paid
from the pile of bills Smith had just
deposited. Smith saw this, and with
drew his money saying he would not
do business with such a concern.
From that day until two weeks ago he
never patronized a bank, but kept his
money at home.

Harris to Columbia and locked him
up in jail Kitchen is said to have
been a rather dangerous character

kill him. A year or two since Kitchen
killed a white man near Mt. Pleasant
with pick handle. There was much
excitement and many rumors follow
ing the shooting.
Mr.. Harris was released on $2.5e0

Finally Pearson. becoming Disguised

wbo are all well known Atlantans(
The company. it is said, has an OPP
,;op on 10000 acres Of phosphate lands
in tennessee, and that the machinery
for the new phosphate mine has Al

The incorporators are: Ernest l.

Walter P. Andrews. 1t is proposed to
deal in phosphate and fertilizer prod
ucts.
II is related that the discovery OF
these immense phosphate fields was
made by an Albanian in purely acci-
dental way. He was summering in
the tennessee state, a confirmed MIN
rod and disciple of Sir Isaak Newton,
and while basking on the bank OF a
Iimpid stream-all streams are limpid
n a fsherman's eye-he picked up a
rock with a peculiar hue.
So struck was he with the sample
that he brought it home with him and
had it analysed. 1t proved to be phos-
nhate rock. A further investigation
was made and it was found that I'M
mense phosphate deposits abounded
in that region, and he returned to AT
lanta and confided the find to a few
Of his friends, with the result that the
million-dollar company was formed 10
work the vast bed nature had de-

The company asks the right in con-
nection with the phosphate operations
to engage also in real estate and lum-
Der. and it is probably the intention
of the company to market vast ton
nages of hardwood lumber.

STATEMENT FROM
MR.. MAYBERRY

Editor The Herald:
| appreciate the nice notice given to
our interurban in your paper OF May
3Oth but the statement that the enter
prise is being backed financially by
P. Hirsch & Co., of New York, does
an injustic both to Messrs Hirsch &
Co. and the Interurban Railway. Mr..
Hirsch is treasurer of the construction
company, styled the Interurban Com
pany. to which the Nashville Inter
urban Railway has let the contract for
the construction of its line The Nash
Vile Interurban Railway is financed
personally by the gentlemen you have
listed as owners, and not dollar OF
stock is owned by anyone else.
The only financing the road needed,
in addition to personal investments OF
the owners. was the sale of the ST.
500. 900 of bonds, which was made by
me through my New York connection,
I think it is but fair that the public
should understand this.
Enclosed find clipping of correction
in the Nashville American today
which is self-explanatory.
Yours truly,
H. H. MAYBERRY,
President.
