Midsummer sales at Anderson
Bros. & Foster and J. Rosenthal Com
pany opened this morning with a
rush. The customers crowded the
stores all during the morning hours
and some good sales were made. The
excessively warm and dry weather
unquestionably kept many in the
country who otherwise would have
attended the sales, but as it was
there were many country ladies here
to take advantage of the rare bar
gains that were offered.
The crush at Anderson Bros. & Fos-
ter's to be among tho first ten to en-
ter tho store was something of a
sight to witness. Before Z o'clock
the crowd commenced to wait at the
doors and finally when the doors
were thrown apart there was a ire
mendous crush to get into the store.
These sales will last for the next two
weeks.

CASE COMMENCES
TWO BLAST EXPERTS FROM
NASHVILLE TESTIFIED ON
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
LOCAL MEN ON STAND TODAY
W. II. Jones Said That He Was at
Spring About Ten Minutes Before
Blast went OF, and That There
Was an Abundance of Water.

The taking Of testimony in the suit
OF Mrs. Virginia Brown against Hor.
ace Rainey and Andrew Dale for s2O,.
600 damages alleged to have been
done to her spring by blast on their
land and the consequent burning of
her residence some time later, was
begun at the afternoon session Of the
circuit court Wednesday.
The plaintiff was represented by
W. ]. Webster, Holding & Garner and
George T. Hughes, Sr. Employed as
counsel by the defendants were
Hatcher & Hatcher, H. P. Figuers
and W.. S. Fleming. There was a good
sized crowd present, and the interest
in the trial was intense.
Two experts testified at the after.
noon session of the court. r. T.
Creighton, of Nashville, an expert on
the effect of dynamite on springs,
stated that dynamiting about the
channel of spring was likely to di.
vert a stream 1870 of the times. c.
G. Foster, also of Nashville, through
whom the ram at the Brown spring
was put in, said that there was not
enough water in the spring at pres
ent to operate the ram.
At the session this morning the
deposition of DR.. w. P. WoldHdge
was read He stated that the stream
of water was not near SO strong now
as it once had been, and he estimat-
ed that the place was now worth less
by several thousand dollars than It
used to be. This was due to the
damage to the spring. He placed
the value OF the residence at $4,000.
Connor Akin, who was next called,
stated on the stand that there was ev-
idence of blast 51s feet from the
channel of the spring and of other
sblasts Is feet from the spring. The
overflow of water used to be more
than an inch, but now, he said. 1t was
about one-eighth of an inch, without
the ram running and covered only
about two-thirds of the space that ii
once did.
w. H. Jones, who was the last wit
ness before dinner, testified that he
had known of the spring for seven
years, and that there was an over
flow through the aperture Of two
inches when the ram ran before the
blast. He was present at the spring
about ten minutes before it went off
and said that at that time there was
an abundance Of water. Two or three
days, after the blast took place, he
said that the water supply had beer
greatly diminished and that It had
been so ever since

ons Why He Should Be Elected.

ing actively pushed by Col. Jos. f.
Brownlow, of the Maury National
Bank. He has mailed out today let.
tiers to 1875 Of the leading bankers and
fnanciers Of the state and South. He
asks their support on the ground that
Mr.. Howard, by reason Of the large
acquaintance that he has made
throughout the district and his thor
ough knowledge of banking affairs, is
eminently qualified for the position.
He is not an applicant for the posi-
ton, but will accept the post If it is
rendered to him.
The directorship Is OF banks that
have capital stocks between $4,000
and 100000. 1t is the stipulation that
the candidate must not be an active
bank official, but man who is con-
nected with financial affairs and has
a thorough understanding and knowl
edge Of them. These qualifications
Mr.. Howard possess in an unusual
degree, as he has been for life time
engaged in business and commercial
pursuits.
1t is stated that the only real op-
position to his candidacy will come
from ]. B. Legard, of Columbus, Ga.
Mr.. Towards friends, however, be-
lieye that he is winner, as he has
such wide acquaintance among the
but of the other five Southern states
in the district. He has bought mules,
traded, and had active business deal
ings in many of the cities in the dis
trict. This is regarded as a very
strong point in his favor.
