Coal Land Fight Over Clinchfield Holdings in South Plans
A Wall Street battle unfolds over control of the Clinchfield corporation, its 112,000 acres of Crane's Nest Coal lands, and associated railroad assets across Virginia Tennessee and North Carolina. The Southern Railway and Seaboard Air Line syndicates vie for majority stock, with Carter selling assets and later Seaboard directors moving to gain control. The case, rooted in the Union Trust receivership, could be settled in court as investors push for ownership and asset transfers.

Honest elections bill sparks Tennessee political debate
Nashville January 28 The Senate proposed a three member board of registration and election power to appoint county commissioners for two year terms with governor nomination and Senate confirmation. The act would place all counties under Dortch law, allow observation by a five member committee in polling places, set penalties for violations, and require poll tax payment as a voting condition. It also calls for publication of election officers and grants grand juries inquisitorial power over election offences.
