Desk Every Day.
Has Dropped Sport for Work and Now
Us a Potent Factor In New FORKS
Financial and CONNER
cial Circles.

Scarce turned 90 years of age, CIar-
ence H. Mackay now occupies one of the
most prominent positions in the bust
ness world as president of the Postal
Telegraph & Commercial Cable COM
panies. So many young men are being
placed In positions of large responsible
ity that this injection of young blood
into the large corporations of the coun-
try has come to be question of remark.
Mr.. Mackay is the youngest of these
young leaders of business and finance.
For that reason-because he feels his
youth-he is 10th to bring himself in
to prominence by talking about his af-
fairs. Mr.. Mackay occupies the promi-
nent position he holds as legacy from
his father. His rule for business sue
cess is to devote his attention strictly to
his task and to follow as closely as pos
sible in the footsteps of his father, John
w. Mackay.
The son had a careful schooling in or
der that he might fill acceptably the po-
sition Of the father. AS a director of
the Postal Telegraph company every
branch, every detail OF the plant and
service was passed before him. 1t was
his fathers aim in life to leave his son
prepared to carry on the work he had
begun in various directions, and the
son has accepted and is manfully full
filling his fathers wishes.
While the elder Mackay was engaged
in many enterprises. that of building a
cable to the orient was always his
pet hobby. According to the World 8 in
formant the mechanical obstacles did
not figure for a moment in this desire.
Congress, it is said. was the greatest
stumbling block to be encountered in
building the Pacific cable. The ques-
tons Of private ownership were tooth
some morsels for the opponents of the
cable. Government ownership was

In Charleston, S. c.. the colored
population increased In ten years from
