BIG BUSINESS
FIRST MONDAY
COLUMBIA MERCHANTS HAD AN
UNUSUALLY GOOD TRADE
ON YESTERDAY.
LARGE CROWD BOUGHT GOODS
Some Stores Report Heaviest Sales
Ever known For Any Day
in April.

There was no evidence that hard
times Or financial stringency had ever
been thought of in Maury county man
ifested here Monday. The crowd that
came to town on that day was the
largest that has been in the city on
any day this year and one of the
largest that ever came to the city.
The only extraordinary attraction was
the horse display and yet the number
of people on the streets and in the
places of business was as large or
larger than have been here on great
political days when some star attrac-
ton of the political arena was to hold
forth.
The crowd yesterday came to attend
to business; it was not here merely
to look on or to talk politics, but it
was here to buy and sell, principally
to buy with the result that the bus
mess houses did an immense business.
Especially was this true of the dry
spring dresses and spring goods of all
kinds were passed over the counters
Monday in almost wholesale lots and
some of the stores report that the
sales were larger than for any day in
April that has ever been known.
But the dry goods and department
stores did not do all the business by
any means; the hardware and the
grocery stores did big business,
much farming machinery was pur-
chased and in fact all lines of busi-
ness profited by the crowds that were
here on Monday. The banks did a
big business, but part of 1t was due
to the fact that they had been closed
on Saturday on account of the pri-
mary, hence there was sort of ac-
emulation of business.
Altogether the day was satisfactory
from business standpoint beyond all
expectations. 1t proved that the panic
did no serious injury to Maury county
and that it's effects are very fast dis
appearing. 1t will not be long until
every evidence of the panic will have
disappeared so far as this section is
concerned, and with fine crops this
season the years business will no
doubt equal, if it does not exceed that
Of 1907 or 1906.

J. A. SKELLY AND G. W. NICHOLS ACQUIRE
NEARLY 1000 ACRES OF ROCK IN
TAYLOR COUNTY, FLORIDA
ESTIMATED THAT PROPERTY CONTAINING ONE

oOo-sTocK COMPANY TO FORMED
DEVELOPMENT.

A thirty thousand dollar phosphate
deal was consuamated this week when
]. A. Sicily and G. w. Nichols of
Columbia and Eugene VOORHEES, of Mt.
Pleasant, secured 92O acres of phos-
plate lands in Taylor County, Fla,
estimated to contain 100000 tons of
the very finest export rock. The land
was purchased from a brother of j..
NJ. Parker, of Columbia, who makes
his home in Memphis.
This deal has been pending several
months. Mr.. Shelley went to Florida
the first of the year and made thor
ough investigation of the lands. The
phosphate is in boulder formation and
thousands CT tons are to be seen in
one solid mass running for hundreds
of yards and Analysing eighty-one per
cent. Mr. Nichols also made an inves-
tigation of part of the land and de-
cided that there was enough phos-
plate in what he saw to justify the
investment.

BRAKEMAN HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
n. E. cLUxToN FALLS FROM TOP
OF CAR AND SUSTAiNS Sc
RIoUs INJURIES.

H. E. Cluxton, a brakeman on the
NJ, F. & S. division of the l.. & N.
Railroad, was painfully injured in the
north yards Monday evening and had
a narrow escape from death. Clux-
ton was on the top of freight car and
in some way fell off, though the train
was running at only about ten miles
an hour. The fireman on the engine
happened to be looking back at the
time and saw Cluxton's lantern fall
to the ground. He had the train stop
and go back and Cluxton was found
lying in an unconscious condition
across the rails of a parallel track.
He was picked up and placed in the
caboose of his train and minute af-
forwards a freight dashed in on the
track across which he had been lying.
Cluxton was taken to the home OF
his brother in South Columbia and
remained in an unconscious condition
for some hours. He was badly bruised
and shocked and had several cuts
about his face and on his arms, but
suffered no broken bones.

vestigated the enterprise pronounce II
one of the best they know of and say
the investors have big thing. The
land is near dead water with small
freight expense, and has a new rail-
road running into the lands. The
rock can be mined at small expense
and there should be large profits in
mining.
The purchasers will leave next week
for the property and will at once
begin operations and will remain per-
sonally on the grounds. In the fall
Messrs. Nichols and Shelley will
move their families to Florida and
make that state their home.
1t is possible that after the property
is well opened up and operations are
under way, stock company will be
formed and outside investors will be
given an opportunity to get share
of the good thing. The purchasers
have already had a number of requests
for a share by wou!d-be investors, but
are not ready yet to take in any out
side investors

Every Quarter Shows Gain De-
spite the Panic, Except

ished.

PRESIDENT OPEN
To CONVICTION
ACTION IN WITHDRAWN JACK
SONS NOMINATION WAS NOT
FINAL, SAYS FRAZIER.
Friends of Postmaster Hope to Move
Mr.. Roosevelt to Recon-
slider Matter.

Friends of Postmaster John W.
Jackson are very much encouraged
over he situation as reported to
them from washington. Thursday
afternoon and this morning several
friends here who wired the Senators
have received most encouraging re-
ports and the belief is growing that
there is yet hope that the President
can be induced to change his mind
and send again to the Senate the NOM
nation of Mr.. Jackson. Senator
Frazier and Senator Taylor have both
wired to friends that the action OF
the President was not final. 1t Is
presumed that they did not take this
course until after having an inter-
view with the President, and if this
is the case there is little reason to
doubt that the action of the friends
of Mr.. Jackson here will have a de-
cided influence in he matter.
These reports all indicate that the
President is open to conviction. This
is all that Mr.. Jackson or his friends
had hoped for or expected, and this
being the case they believe that when
the President receives the assurances
from the patrons of the office that
they desire no change he will recon
slider his action and send the nomina-
ton again to the Senate. If the Pres
idet is really open to conviction it
looks like the action of the mass meet
ing and the petition of more than 300
of the leading business and profess
sional men of the city would convince
him that the change ought not to be
made.

greatest, If not the greatest, Ameri-
can play ever written, 1.-THE Lion and
the Mouse by Charles Klein. The
play will be produced under the direc-

probability prove the dramatic as well
as social event of the present season.
The success of this drama is so well
known to all classes of people through
out the country owing to It's phenom-
email runs in both Chicago and New
York, that it Is scarcely necessary to
make further statements relative to
the merits of the play. Mr.. Klein has
used as his theme the money interests
OF the country against social problems
which cannot fail but to appeal most
keenIy to all theater goers.
