Major Greer Receives a Significant In
quiry From the War Department.
Major John E. Greer, Command
ant in charge of the Columbia Arse
nal, received telegram yesterday
from the War Department at Wash
ington, asking if he was prepared to
manufacture for the government on
short notice, infantry equipments,
cavalry equipments, horse equip
ments and artillery harness. The
Major replied that this Arsenal was
not equipped for that work right now
but that upon short notice and with a
comparatively small outlay of money
he could have himself in readi-
ness for the work. 1t would be quite
a boom to Columbia if this Arsenal
should have added to it a manufac-
turing supply department., and Major
Greer will give his influence in that
direction. The inquiry is very sig
niflcant, implying, as it unmistaka-
bly, does, that this government is not
only preparing for war, but prepar-
ing in a hurry, by using the wire in
stead of the mail.

Elsewhere in this issue OF the
HERALD will be found a statement
of the condition of the Phoenix
Bank. The statement is an excel
lent one and speaks well for the
management of that institution. 1t
shows that it now has on deposit
$4,000 more money than was SHOWN
in the statement made about THIS
time last year; it also shows the
insignificant sum in overdrafts OF
only $543. Another commemorate
feature of the Phoenix is that OF the
loans, amounting to $4,000, the
directors have carefully inspecte9
them all and found none that coulo
be questioned.
