THE PHOSPHATE lADItTRI.
It i> Rrportrd to Hr Muck Depressed
in Vnu' h Carolina.
Columbia, S. C-. Jan. I.—The phosphate
industry in this state is in a depressed :
condition, and no improvement appears in |
be in sight. During the year Just closed |
374.4U0 tons were mined, from which the |
state got a royalty of $87,209.
Phosphate Inspector Jones, is his re- j
port, gives a "most distressing account |
of the business.
The Carolina Company, owned by Brit- j
ish capital, has suspended, \\ith present j
prices it was impossible to mine at any
profit.
The Coosaw com pair, which did the !
largest business of all the companies. .
working with a force reduced to the min
imum and all other companies are doing
likewise. The reasons for this bad state
of affairs are stated to be the depressed :
condition of agriculture, both in this ;
country and Europe, which limits the de
mand for the crude phosphate rock. But I
a more potent cause is found in the open
ing of new mines, the product of which
come in tierce competition with the Car
olina product. The competition of the Al- j
gerian product creates the greatest un
easiness. Prom one district in that coun- |
try alone the shipments have increased j
from 6,000 tons in IMS to 53,000 tons In ISM, j
and for the tirst seven months of 1895 th>- '
shipments amounted to t'.T.sTo tons This I
rock analyzes 7o per cent, and is deliver
ed in England at a cost of 5 shillings
freight as against 14 and 13 shillings from
this country.
The Tennessee phosphates continue to
be moved actively and it needs no wash
ing or drying, as does the South Carolina
lock. It is largely used in Georgia and
Tennessee to the exclusion of rock of tills
■tate.
In speaking of the Florida rock. Inspec
tor Jones says: "The total shipments of
phosphate from Florida for the year 1895
aggregated 515,878 tons. Florida continues
to increase her production. Whilst a great
many of the companies there have ctased
operations, still enough have been left
to keep up a very large production.”
Quite recently phosphatlo deposits have
been found in the Somme district of
FTance, which analyses well and will lie a
strong competitor in England and on the
continent. Excellent rock has also been
found in Venezuela and large shipments
are already being made.
The state insjiectur recommends a re
duction of the royalty from 30 to 25 rents
per ton. The state has pledged $75,000
yearly of the royalty as a sinking fund
to pay the state debt and it will be seen
that the depressed condition of affairs is
a most serious concern to the state.
MANCHESTER'S MARKET.
A Distinctly Better Feeling and a
Fair Inquiry.
Manchester, Jan. I.—The Guardian, In
Its commercial article, says: "A distinct
ly better feeling is noticeable and there
has been a fair inquiry in several depart
ments, though a holiday temper is appa
rent. The eastern inquiry, especially that
for India, shows signs of broadening and
occasionally the limits have improved.
A moderate proportion of the'hlds are
workable, but sellers are firm and have
declined to repeat the business done at
the prices previously taken.
"A feature oft the market has been the
boom in American cotton. The movement
has enhanced the hope of an increased
business in 1896. The decline In the price
of silver and the homeward rates of ex
change with Calcutta is disappointing.
There has been a revival of the inquiry
for China in some quarters. Heavy sheet
ings and shirtings are generally unwork
able. There have been also moderate
offers from Japan, but tile prices are not
attractive. Indian offers for dhooties are
plentiful and business in Jaconets has been
placed at easy pricey.
"Bombay has taken a few lines of sta
ples, but the trade eiesewhere is scant.
Yarns have been steady, with a more
cheerful tone and a moderate business."
GOLD MINING IN VIRGINIA.
A Company Organized With $2,000,-
000 Capital.
Baltimore. Md., Jan. I.—A special dis
patch to the Manufacturers’ Record says
N. K. Fairbank, the millionaire lard re
finer of Chicago; E. K. Willard and L. D.
Hooper, bankers of New York; Gen. T.
M. Logan of Richmond, Va., and others
have organized at Richmond the Piedmont
Gold Belt Chartered Company, with a
capital stock of $2,000,000, for the purpose
of developing on an extensß-e scale large
gold mining properties, covering several
thousand acres in Buckingham county,
Virginia. These northern and western
capitalists,. It Is reported, nave made a
thorough Investigation of the gold-bear
ing ores of that territory and have found
such remarkably favorable conditions that
it is claimed that they have secured con
trol of the entire district and that their
operations will be very large. Investiga
tions of experts and analyses of the ores,
it is claimed, show thaj the average of
these ores gives a very much better per
centage of gold than either the South
African dr the Cripple Creek districts.

A Sailor Robbed of slso—Celebration
of Kinuucipution Day.
Brunswick, Ga., Jan. I.—A bold and
daring highway robbery is reported to
have occurred at the intersection of prom
inent business streets last night, the vic
tim being a sailor from a coasting vessel
and his assailants two unknown white
men as yet not apprehended. The sailor
lost $l3O. He was knocked senseless aria
when found by Officer Loflin was bleed
ing from the face, several of 'his teeth
were gone and he was bruised about the
head. The men worked the bunco racket
on him early in the evening, got him
drunk, discovered he had Just been paid
off and hail a large sum and they laid for
him with the results stated.
To-day has been a great one with the
colored iiopulatioii In their celebration of
Emancipation day. Charles Clark and
ids assistants have lieen working for
weeks to make it a success and suc
ceeded admirably. A feature was the pa
rade, embracing SUO colored people, thirty
live carriages, uniform rank Knights of
Pythias, and Odd Fellows, Masonic and
Longshoremen organizations, all under
the marshalship of C. A. Shaw. A pro
gramme of literary exercises embraced an
oration by Rev. L. B. Maxwell of Savan
nah on "The Present Status of the Race,"
which created a good impression.
City Attorney Whitfield's annual report
of legal business, involving Brunswick for
the year past, embraces these matters of
special and general interest: The tiling of
six suits against the bondsmen of De
faulting Clerk and Treasurer Nelson, now
pending In the superior court; an appeal to
the supreme court of Mrs. Tucker’s suit
fbr alleged damages from deficient drain
age, and the filing by Mrs. Tucker of a
suit for more damages from the same
cause, and a report that the suit of James
Calnan, et. al., attaching the city’s Issu
ance of bonds for sewerage had been dis
missed at the plaintiff's cost.
Chief Green’s annual report of fires and
losses shows fifty-live runs, of which fif
teen were to false alarms. In the forty
fires there was $29,400 insurance involved,
of which the department saved $16,000, or
about 60 percent, of the property involved.
Capt. Bartow of the steamship Rio
Grande has been docketed in the police
court on the charge of running the vessel
down the harbor at a rate of speed in
excess of that ullowed by city ordinance.
The ease is unusual, and was brought
out by the claim that in leaving port
Monday the swells caused by the high
speed caused the German bark Elise to
pitch and strain her hawser to such an
extent that she pulled down a portion
of the Bush dock.
MR. PLANT TO HE HANQI ETED.
The Card of Invitation Is a Work of
Art.
Ocala, Fla., Jan. I.—Several weeks ago
the Ocala Board of Trade suggested that
the association tender to Mr. H. B. Plant
a reception and banquet at such time as
would be convenient for him. Mr. C. H.
Campbell prepared the invitation. The
invitation card is black enameled board,
and contains the name of the committee
on invitation in gilt letters. The opposite
page represents the state of Florida in a
fireman’s reel, and Ocala as the hub of
the state. Folded between these leaves
is a silk book mark containing Mr. Plant's
portrait. The lining of the cabinet is with
prange-colored silk, the Plant system col
ors. The front page contains a cut of
the Ocala house. The outside page of the
book contains the Plant system coat of
arms, the well known maltese cross, sur
rounded with maniature flags. The left
hand corner of the book is silk, fringed
in yellow, bound with red silk cord and
tassels. The invitation is enclosed in
cabinet of maroon-colored plush: "The
Ocala Board of Trade's Welcome to 11.
B. Plant," in gold letters, uppears upon
the cabinet.
The hinges and clasp of the book are of
silver. Many have seen the design and
pronounce it one of the most originul and
pleasing things of its kind ever devised,
it is thought the reception and banquet
will take place some time during this
month.
John W. Marlow, the most successful
farmer, trucker and orange grower of

H. Reynolds in this city last night, were

.IMAGE GRIGGS RESIGNS.
He Will Enter tIW Race for ( iia(rr
in the Seeond District.
Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. L—Judge Janies
Griggs of the Rataula circuit, has chosen
as his New Year’s resolution the deter
mination to succeed Congressman Ben
Russell as the representative of the Sec
ond district of Georgia in the next na
tional House of Representatives. His
resignation from the bench was received
at the executive office to-day and accepted
by Gov. Atkinson. It Is quite well un
derstood that the case of Judge Griggs’
resignation is his intention to be a candi
date for congi*-ss. It has been known
for some time that he contemplated such
a step but he would probably have held
on to the ermfne a little longer had it not
been for Congressman Russell’s recent
announcement that he will not be a can
didate for re-election. This announce
ment made the possible field of candidates
a good deal larger than it might other
wise have been, and Judge Griggs wanted
to be one of the first at the |K>st. bo
- r ;„ however, he has only Coi. Hammond
of Thomasville at his side.
The fact that Judge Griggs’ resignation
was expected caused Gov. Atkinson to
tuke trine by the forelock in the matter
of filling his place on the bench, and con
sequently, wnen the resignation reached
him to-day, it was the work of hut a
short time to accept it, declare a vacancy,
and then appoint his successor. The new
jy'ig’ appointed is Solicitor General 11.
C. Sheffield of the Palaula circuit, and the
new solicitor general who takes his place
until the legislature meets is John R.
Irwin of Fort Gaines, both appointments
being marie at the same time this morning.
Judge Sheffield and Solicitor Irwin are
both men of high standing and their ap
pointment, which was one of the quickest
pieces of work of the kind ever done In
the executive office, will doubtless meet
cult ,hfc a| ' proval ° r the people of the cir-
THE EMORY COLLEGE LIBRARY.
It Ha* Been Enriched by Two Nota
ble Donation*.
Oxford, Ga., Jan. I.—The library of Dr.
W. H. Harrison, who died some time ago,
has been purchased for the Emory College
library, and is now on its shelves. It will
be rtmmfccred that Dr. Harrison, who
was a vdfy learned and scholarly man,
spent almost his whole life in collecting
this valuable library. It is especially rich
In theological works, having, besides En
glish commentaries on the Bible in the
greatest profusion, many volumes in Latin
and Greek, and the different versions of
the_ Bible in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, San
skrit, Syrian and other languages. The
departments of sacred history and biog
raphy are also very full.
But while these departments are so
full, the departments of general literature
are far from being wanting. The classics
from the most ancient to those of the
present day, are very complete, in both
the original text and in translations. Be
sides these and the other general lines,
this library Includes the Bohn library
complete.
It contained between 9,000 and 10,000 vol
umes, and cost the collector more than
$23,000. With this added to Emorv’s orig
inal library, which consists of about
9,000 volumes, the Emory College library
can claim at least the second, if not the
first place, among the libraries of the
south.
Miss Mary Lyle of Athens and Miss
Sophie Morton of Brunswick, two belles
of their respective cities, who have for
some lime been the guests of Prof, and
Mrs. H. H. Stone, have gone to Athens.
HOLIDAY CASUALTIES.
They Were Unite Numerous In
Screven County.
Syivania, Ga., Jan. I.—The holidays cas
ualties among the colored folks in this
county have been quite numerous and
lively, and there are several trees yet
to be heard from.
At Horse Creek colored church there was
some disagreement among the brethren
about the presents on the Christmas tree,
and as a result, two were killed and an
other is said to be dying from the effects
of a wound. Albert Jackson has been ar
rested, charged with shooting Dave Ber
rien, one of the two who were killed, and
has been committed to the superior court
for trial.
Up near Boscom, another Christmas I
tree was brilliantly lighted, and under
math the Hare of the candles, Andrew
Sanders, a colored youth, saw his sweet
heart talking and flirting with another
fellow. Mad with jealousy, he drew his
pistol and shot her dead, and then flad
the county.
Down near Buck creek, al lthe colored
youth and beauty were gathered around
the holly tree for a general jubilee, when
a quarrel arose, and in less time than it
could be told a dozen razors were flashing
in the air and pistols were shooting. A
regular battle ensued, and the girls and
boys did not wait to receive their pres
ents. Several were shot and cut, but
none have died thus far.
FUNERAL OF DR. POWELL.
The Remains Taken From Atlanta to
S|rtn for Burial.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. I.—The funeral servi
ces of the late Dr. T. S. Powell, founder
and president of the Southern Medical
College for sixteen years, were held this
morning at Trinity Methodist church,
Rev. Dr. Roberts, the pastor, assisted by
Drs. Kendall and Strlckler, of
ficiating.
After the ceremonies, which were at
tended largely, the body was
taken to Sparta on a spe
cial train over the Georgia rail
road, where the Interment occurred this
afternoon. The funeral train carried be
sides the relatives, a large delegation of
the friends of the deceased, who had prac
ticed medicine in this city for nearly half
a century. The faculty of the Southern
Medical College, with the students and
a number of the alumni, attended in a
body. The pall-bearers were the most
prominent members of the medical pro
fession of the city, and the honorary es
cort was headed by Gov. Atkinson.
W ESTERN AND ATLANTIC.
The Governor Names the Men to Sur
vey the Property.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. I.—Gov. Atkinson to
day appointed the commissioners to make
an official survey of the Western and At
lantic railroad, as authorized by an act
of the last legislature, D. Leo. Wardroper
of Gainesville, and T. P. Stanley of Athens.
The commissioners will begin the work
the first of February and will complete
it in about about six or eight months.
They will start at Atlanta and survey the
entire line to Chattanooga, making accu
rate maps of the route, which will be sub
mitted to the attorney of the Western
and Atlantic, NY. A. Wimbish, and ap
proved by the governor.
It was considered necessary that the line
he re-sur.veycd so that all questions of
right of way and land, to which the state
claims title, might be definitely settled.
A CONDUCTOR IN A CELL.
He is Accused of Stealing; Fare*
From an Atlanta Road.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. I.—J. E. Foley, a con
ductor on the Consolidated line, who in
"knocking down” fares is said to be one
of the most accomplished that ever struck
the town, was sent to jail to-day in de
fault of bond, for robbing the Consoli
dated. Foley is alleged to have pocketed
fares by the hundred, and even thousands
during the exposition, and so shrewd was
his manipulation of the cash register that
he probably would never have been caught
but for his betrayal by a motorman, to
whom he offered *5 as a take-out on one
occasion, when he felt overburdened with
cash. Foley came to Atlanta from Chi
cago. where he was a conductor.
BRINGING MWS EXPENSES
A good way to begin the
new year. If money saving
be the spirit of the household
the children’s clothes ought
not only to be carefully
bought but also well cared
for to prolong their service.
These Children’s Knee Pro
tectors are a great saving on
the little fellows’ clothes.
They serve a triple purpose.
They protect the clothes,
the youngsters’ knees and
help to keep out the cold.
Protectors with r u bber
straps 25c a pair. Protec
tors that fit nicely over the
knees 40c.

The Lo*a of *thc Company Ucllcvcd to

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. I.—The work of
breaking up the exposition began this
morning. The exhibitors were busy pack
ing. All the buildings remained open,
however, except that of the government.
Fifty-nine Chinamen left this afternoon
for San Francisco. The Chinese women
went away some time ago. Mr. Leon, the
concessionaire, says the C hinese village
lost money.
Thirty bull fighters left to-day for
Mexico. They had an unprofitable en
gagement, too, beause the exposition
would not allow them to give exhibitions
of bull fighting.
The exposition's receipts will hardly
meet the expenses, but the deficit Is
small. The exact amount has not been
ascertained.
