a dollar or two until the next day and

PHOSPHATE SUPPLY
NEARLY EXHAUSTED
SAYSUNCLE SAMUEL
GOVERNMENT FIGURES SHC"
THAT MAURY ROCK WILL SOON
BE IN DEMAND.
J. 2. BrownIow Writes For Actual
Facts And Receives a Prompt Re-
ply-Business Coming This Way
Before Great While.

A matter OF deep interest 10 all the
people Of Maury county is the future
of the phosphate industry of this sec
ton. Hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars are tied up at present in phos-
phate lands and mining equipment
and the question is frequently heard
''When will the phosphate business
again become as active as it was in
the early days of 1902"
The people of Maury county and
Tennessee are not along interested in
this question. Uncle Sam realizes
that it is an important matter and
has said to the people of the United
States that the phosphate deposit is
limited and that all of it is needed to
conserve and build up the exhausted
lands of the nation, and that the man
with good deposit of phosphate has
a fortune and has only to wait little
while to realize upon it.
Mr.. ]. F. Brownlow, who is interest
ed IN phosphate ldHuS Hlote " 'lA0
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington recently for some figures on
the phosphate deposit of the nation
and the figures he received are as
follows:
South Carolina ...... 100000 tons
Florida ...... ....... Io,OOV'UOV lohS
Tennessee ...... &c.. .103, 10000 tons
As over three million tons of phos-
phate rock at the present rate is used
each year, it can be easily seen that
within the course of few years min
ing will be confined to the Tennessee
field for the other fields will be ex-
hausted, but in a briefer time than
that mining will become active in
Tennessee fields, for while there may
be as much rock in the South caro-
lima and Florida fields as the Govern
ment reports states, much OF 1t is
difficult to mine or is distant from
Transportation facilities, and then as
the people of those states realize the
growing scarcity of phosphate, they
will raise prices.

A meeting was held on yesterday
between a committee OF our CONNER

nroposed new railroad into Mt. Pleas
ant. with nightly satisfactory results.
A definite proposition will be submit
ted probably today to the citizens OF
Wiliamsport, Cross Bridges, and Mt.
Pleasant and the land owners along
the line of the proposed road, Offering
to build, equip and operate an inde'
pendent line of railroad from Nash
VILE to Mt. Pleasant and connecting
with the Tennessee Central, II the
neople of the above sections will sub
scribe for 100000 of the capital stock
of the road. The stock not to be paid
for until the road is completed and in
operation.
This now puts 1t up to us. II a
new and Independent line of railroad
over the above route is not worth
thousand dollars to the region
through which it is proposed to be
built, then we don't know what they
could get that would be worth that
sum to them. Every farm passed
through or by would be increased in
value, and all the phosphate along
this route would be made available,
which is now valueless. AS soon as
the proposition was stated to the Com
