Washington Reporter: If the Union
Point and White Plains Railroad is ex-
tended south to Davisboro on the Central
Railroad and north to Gainesville, it
would make another direct line through
Georgia to the sea, placing Union Point

WANTS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Statesboro Herald: The Agricultural
Club has another proposition to make
which it is hoped will meet the hearty
support of the people OF Statesboro. and
that is to extend an Invitation to the
State Agricultural Society to meet at this
place in 1852 Generally there are about
200 representative farmers from al over
the state who attend these meetings,
and should they be induced to come here
the advertising which they would Eve the
county would do her good. The town
could easily prepare accommodations for
that number CT visitors, and it Is thought
that the meeting can be secured for this
place If an effort is made.

WORCESTER MAN
DEAD AT ALTOONA

George w. Smith, formerly con-
tractor in Worcester, and until two
years ago a member of Iroquois Tribe
of Red Men, died Sunday night at the
Municipal Hospital in Altoona, Pa
Yesterday Chief of Police William j.
e. Stone received a letter from John
Bowser of 915 Lexington Avenue, Al
toona which read:
81 wish to inform you of the death Of
G. w. Smith, formerly contractor
in Worcester He was a member or
Iroquois Tribe of Red Men and has
mother and two children living in your
city He had in his possession a Red
Mems card signed by H. L. Jewell, r.
L. Jewell, w Thompson and A. Nc
Leod of your city. He died Sunday and
the body is now ready for burial /
would like to hear from you as quick
ly as possible so as to settle on the dis
position of the body"
The chief communicated with H. L..
Jewell and learned that Smith had a
wife working at the Blue Eagle Inn,
Whitinsville, an aged mother. Mrs
Nancy Smith on Ball Street, this city
and two small children who were liv-
ing with relatives.
The chief communicated with Smiths
wife but she is unable to care for the
body as also is his mother who is laid
up with a severe sickness at her home.
Chief Stone telegraphed the authorities
at Altoona to inter the body as II
would not be claimed by Smiths
friends. Smith at one time was well
to do but he became reckless and had
trouble with his wife and friends. He
has been away from Worcester two
years.

NEST OF GOLD COINS
IN AN OLD CHEST

Philadelphia, Dec. 25.-From the false
bottom of an old chest which had been
in his family for more than thirty
years, John Mcdonald, of No. 404 North
Twenty second Street, recovered old
English and American coins, valued
at upward at $4,000.
A few of the gold pieces were stamp
ed by the first coin presses set up in
this country but most of them are
English guineas, bearing on one side
the medallion head of George III, and
on the reverse side the English coat
of arms.
John McDonald's mother bought the
chest third of century agoin a Phila-
delpha second hand store. She paid
only few pennies for the plan lum-
Der box, and had it placed in the Gel
lar of her home, where it was used as
potato bin until recently.
McDonald's mother died a few weeks
ago and it was decided to get rid of
the old chest While breaking it up
for firewood Mcdonald made his ex-
traordinary find.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Volunteered to Resign But FL
naIIy Consented to Retain His
Portfolio
NEW SECRETARY OF
TREASURY WELL KNOWN
He Has Often Demonstrated a
Profound knowledge Of the
Theory and Mechanism Of Our
Banking and Currency Laws
IoWanS Well Pleased

Washington, Dec. 25.-It was an
nounced authoritatively this evening
that Gov. Leslie NJ. Shaw of Iowa will
be appointed secretary of the treasurS
to succeed Secretary Lyman }. Gage
There will be no change in the office
of secretary of agriculture, for Sec
rotary Wilson, also of Iowa, will con-
tinue to retain that portfolio.
The date Of the transfer Of the treas
ury department will depend on the mu-
tuaI convenience of the outgoing and
the incoming secretary, Mr.. Gage hav-
ing sfgnified an entire willingness to
remain at the head of his department
until such time as it may be agreeable
to his successor to take hold.
1t is supposed, however, that Gov.
Shaw will be indicted into his new
office some time in January. 1t has
been known for two or three days that
Gov. Shaw was slated for appointment
to succeed Secretary Gage, but it was
not until today that the Iowa executive
accepted the tender made to him.
The definite announcement of Gov
Shaws selection for the position OF
secretary of the treasury gave the
greatest qualification to the Iowans
resident here. They regard him as a
man well equipped for the place and
feel confident the appointment will
give general satisfaction.
Secretary Wilson voiced these senti-
ments when asked about Gov. Shaw to-
night, and added that the governor
was better known to the people east
of the Mississippi River than any man
in private life west Of the Mississippi
on questions of finance.
To Senator Dolliver of Iowa whose
relations with Gov. Shaw have been
very close, his selection for the treas
ury portfolio gave the greatest pleas
ure THE governor, he said, has
demonstrated by speeches delivered
before chambers of commerce and
banking associations in every import
ant city of the United States a pro-
found knowledge of the theory and
mechanism of our banking and cur
rency system.
He is not only a student Of these
questions but has been for many years
a successful banker. In selecting him
the President undoubtedly acted in a
great measure upon his personal IA
miliarity with Gov. Shaws abilities in
dealing with the special subjects that
belong to the treasury department. His
appointment will be especially crafty
ing to the people Of Iowa and indeed
the whole West, and I have no doubt
satisfactory to the great business and
commercial interests of the United
States"
