0C0NEE'S GREAT MARBLE QUARRY.
EXTRA FINE WHITE MARBLE COVERS
TWO THOUSAND ACRES.

The completion of the Blue Ridge
railroad across the mountains will
mean much to the country through
which it will pass. Besides the vast
amount of timbered country which
will be opened up, there are many
mines and quarries on and about the
mountains which can also be de-
veloped by having the railroad.
There is one mine or quarry in
particular that is bound to prove a
paying proposition when the road is
completed, and that is the rich mar
bic deposit on the south side of Poor
Mountain. There are more than two
thousand acres of this white, extra
fine marble, and the mineralogists
who have examined samples taken
from the quarry, pronounce it of the
best found in this country, and a
match to the well.known Georgia
white marble.
Although this quarry was discov-
cred years ago, it was not until re-
Gently that it was ascertained that
the marble was of such a valuable
kind. Samples were collected and
sent to DR.. George P. Merrell, of the
National Museum in Washington,
and L. w. Page, who is in charge of
the Office of public roads at Wash.
ington, and these gentlemen say that
the marblel has the appearance of
being first in every respect. A
test is now being made of it for gov
/ lernmental use.
A sample of this marble was fur.
nished F. H. H. Calhoun, the mine
ralogist at Clemson College, and he
says that "The marble is almost a
pure calcium carbonate. 1t has a
small amount of magnesium, but not
sufficient to make it dolomite. 1t con-
tains no barium or strontian of iron.
The stone has specific gravity of 2.72,
which is about the average of good
building marble. 1t is not porus and
as far as the other physical tests 60,
would make first class building mate
rial. If the stone can be obtained
in large quantities and if the cost of
mining and transportation is not too
great, there is no reason why there
should not be good market for it..
The marble found on Poor Noun
tain is quite similar to the Georgia
white marble, but by comparison is
found toIbe of much finer crystals,
and the Georgia marble is used for
ornamental, . monumental building
and nearly all other purposes for
which first. class marble is used.
Some samples of this marble, af-
ter being polished, have been re-
ceived in this city, and they have at
traoted some attention. John Frank,
of Frank & Evans, has several sam
pies in his Office and they are worth
seeing. 1t is surprising to many
that this large deposit of fine marble
should have been undeloped up to
this time.--Anderson Mail.

FAKE CERTIFICATES
CAUSE ANNOYANCE

CHICAGO, Dec 4-(SpeciaD Up
on recommendation of the Clearing
House Association Mayor Busse took
steps today to suppress a vicious
form of burlesque currency that is
being circulated in imitation Of
clearinghouse checks. A number of
frauds have been perpetrated with the
spurious checks and it is the inten-
ton of the officials not only to put
a stop to their circulation, but to
prosecute persons who have used them
for swindling purposes.
Advertisements of a weekly paper
are printed on the back of some of
the fake" checks Endorsed by work
ers," etc. While not counterfeits or
forgeries, the checks" bear close
resemblance to the clearinghouse
checks now in use as currency
throughout the city. In number of
instances reported to the bankers
committee persons who failed to eX
anime the paper slips closely have
accepted them as money.
Members of the clearinghouse COM
mittee have been investigating these
alleged humorous checks for several
days. One banker found tobacco
mist who was willing to accept one
of them in payment for cigar and
who was rendering the change when
the banker pointed out the deception.
The headings of the checks select
ed at random are: National Clean
ing House Association" Bankers
Dream Association" American Lem
on House Association"
One style is printed in blue colors
closely resembling the true certifica
ties, with the square box at the left
containing such phrases as Free
pass, good at any depot to watch the
trains pull out" I'm God we trust;
in banks we bust" and This check
is good for $1,000 in your magma

SOCIETY WOMAN
TO BE DOG CATCHER
Love for CANNES Prompted
Mrs. Dunlap.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Dec. 4.-(Spe-
ciaD Mrs. Laura Comstock Dunlap
author and society woman, wants to
be made dog catcher for the city of
Memphis-no, not dog catcher
she objects to the name-but Col
hector of Dog Taxes"
the Legislative Council were amazed
when the application of the cultured
and pretty woman was filed. But they
soon learned that Mrs. Dunlap really
was in earnest, and as she is the
only candidate and offers to do the
work without cost to the city it is
quite likely the job will be hers.
1t is not dislike of the vagrant dog
that inspires Mrs. Dunlap No in
deed-she is a genuine lover of dogs.
Her reason for wanting the dog
catcher's job is fear that some one
less humane and gentle than herself
will be turned loose on the helpless
ours of Memphis streets.
The sum of $3.50 a month was APP
propriated to pay the dog catcher's
expenses, in return for which the
first dog catcher was expected to
keep the street clear of untagged
dogs. But it was charged that ours
seldom were molested, while the
blooded canines-the shepherds, the
collies, the bulldogs, the pointers
were being shipped to Louisville, St
Louis, Nashville and elsewhere and
sold by the first dog catcher. So he
was discharged.
His method of killing worthless
dogs was by drowning-a death, he
argued, which science had declared
to be most painless.

Will Not Drown Dogs

ITO me the idea of drowning dog
is awful" says Mrs. Dunlap. "If
am made Collector of Dog Taxes

any dog, using a hypodermic syringe
and a quick poison.
| shall not attempt to do all the
work myself, but will employ negro
man to assist me. He will have the
title of Deputy Collector of Dog
Taxes. He will catch the dogs.
expect to pay the expenses of the
office from the sale of dog hides. l
do not care to make any profit"
Mrs. Dunlap is a dainty, thoroughly
feminine woman, PROMINENT in So
ciety circles, and of most refined
tastes The next meeting of the Leg
islative Council will be held the
first Tuesday in December, and the
people of Memphis-society people
and all others-are wondering if the
gifted authoress will be voted into
the Office of Collector of Dog Take"

FALLING OFF IN INSURANCE
NEW BUSINESS SHOWS 4 CON-
 SIDERABLE SLUMP.

Corresponding Retrenchment in Ex- penditure--Large New York Compa-
 nies Show Not Only Decrease fin
 the Business Written, but Also fin
 Amount of Insurance In Force. Hartford, April 29-There were thir- ty-one companies licensed to do life insurance business in this state on the level premium plan on December S1, 1906, according to part II of the forty second annual report of Insurance Commissioner Theron Upson, just made public. The report shows also that there are no assessed life companies do- ling business in the state. The report continues;
 ''The total premiums received show an increase of s6SO2, ,S5s.45 for 1906 over 1905. and the total income an increase of $6,S97, 7l6.66. The total amount paid to policy holders in 1906 was $20,6S4,- S44,99 more than in 1905, and the total disbursements $S,9SS,53995 less. The net reserve on the policies in force was $2, 2,210, ,515 166S SSin 1905 and $4,S6S, 1920, 7625S in 1906, showing an increase in the lat ter year of $152 S05,59615. The Connec- ticut companies issued 1S.16 per cent. of the total number of policies and 20,37 per cent. of the total amount of ordi- nary insurance issued in this state in 1906 The industrial policies issued in this state during the year were S445 per cent. in number and 44,SS per cent in amount of the totals.
 There were forty-one regular com panes licensed to do accident, casu- atty, fidelity surety and miscellaneous business in this state on the 31st of De- cember, 1906 On Connecticut business these forty-one companies received $732,525.97 in premiums and paid $2O6,- 33766 for losses during f906"
 Continuing the report says "The arl- nual statements of the life insurance companies for 1906 show in the aggre- gate large falling off in new business as compared with 1905, accompanied by corresponding retrenchment in ex- penditure As was to be expected the large New York companies show not merely falling off in amount of busi- ness written, but a considerable de-. crease in amount of insurance in force. The statements show a considerable in- crease in the amount of surrender values taken by policy holders. The casualty companies show large in- crease in business over 1905.
 Amid the excitement attending ln- surance legislation in many parts of the state, and the unrest produced by ill-advisel attempts to regulate the de- tails of business and to take away from directorates the responsibilities which properly belong to them, Connecticut maintains its habltual policy of con- servatism in matters of Insurance leg islation. Thus far no laws have been enacted which have not received the approval of both the public and the companies"

OPPOSE TARIFF ARRANGEMENT
Too Many Advantages to United States
 Think German Conservatives.

Think German Conservatives
 Berlin, April 2S-The provisional tar if arrangement between the United States and Germany will be disposed of by the federal council in a few days. It then goes to the reichstag, which will take up the matter and pass the bill prior to its adjournment, which has now definitely been fixed for the week before Whit Sunday The Lokal Anzeiger says 1t hears that there is considerable opposition developing among the conservative parties to the feature of the arrangement prolonging it tacitly if neither party denounces it. They fear this will mean an indefinite continuance of the provisional arrange ment giving the United States all the advantages of a good commercial trea- ty without any of the equivalents that she would have to give in order to get treaty. The conservatives add that this feature may postpone the conclu- sion of treaty to the distant future.
