EXPERT MINING
ENGINEER HERE
LOOKING OVER PROPERTY OF
THE NCO-AMERlCAN PHoS-
PLATE COMPANY.

A. B. Proal, Jr., expert mining en-
gineer, has been here for the past
few days looking over the property
of the Franco-American Consolidated
Phosphate Co. with a view OF deciding
what character of machinery will be
required for the economical mining OF
the property. Mr.. Proal will report
at once to the head Offices at Balti-
more and the present intention of the
company is to act promptly on his
report and begin active operations at
an early date.
Mr.. Proal was highly pleased with
the properties of the company. He is
not a phosphate man, but an all-reuno
mining expert, and he says that II the
rock can be sold at anything like the
prices claimed, it can be mined at a
large profit, for that with up-to-date
machinery and modern methods 1t can
be placed on the cars at small cost
per ton.

PADGETT'S VOTE
BEST ON RECORD
MAJORITY IN THE DISTRICT LAR
GEsT GIVEN DEMOCRAT IN
RECENT YEARS.
LOST BUF TWO OF THE COUNTIES
Democratic Candidates in All the Dis
tricts Had Reoord-5reaking
Majorities.

Congressman Padgetts majority in
the recent election exceeds all pre-
yious records being 6,4O2 in the dis
trict. In his first race eight years ago
his majority was only 1000, or less
than one-third of what. it was in the
recent contest. His vote in the dis
trict was not very far from double
that of his opponent, ]. S. Beasley.
Mr.. Padgett carried all but two coun-
ties of the district, losing Lawrence
by seyenty-one votes and Wayne coun-
ty by 91g. His majority in his home
county, Maury was almost 1900, the
largest that Democrat ever received
in the county.
In all of the Congressional districts
of the State which are represented by
Democrats the majorities were In
creased in the November election.
Judge Moons majority in the Third
District, which in the days of the
eighties and nineties regarded as
doubtful district was $685. In the
Fourth District Cordell Hull was re-
turned by a majority Of 2,774 as COM
pared with only 1000 two years ago.
Houston's majority in the Fifth Dis
trict was 1855 larger by 1000 than
il was in the last Presidential cleo
ton. But it is in the Sixth District
that the majority goes beyond all pre-
vious records. The Republicans made
no nomination and Joe Byrns' only
opponent was the Socialist, whom he
defeated by a plurality of 1924.
In the Eighth District, Congress
man Sims received a majority that
would tend to cast serious doubt on
the claim Of the Republicans that 1t is
a doubtful district His majority was
1880, as compared with only 1926 two
years ago. an increase of more than
1000, and all things considered the
hest showing made by any district In
the state. In the Ninth district FINS
Garrett defeated his Republican oppo-
nent by 9,107, and in the Tenth DIS
trict, where the Democratic candidate
was opposed by Socialist, Gen. Cor
don had 1890 majority
In the Second District the Demo
Gratis did not make a nomination for
Congress and Austin, Republican, de-
feated Hale, Republican, by the fol-
lowing vote: Austin, 1887; Haze,
14,528. Brownlow's majority in the
First District was 1892.
