NOW after
THE FOURTH
NATIONAL

The latest move in local banking cir
cles is said 10 be a warm rivalry on the
part OF two large trust companies 10 Sc
cure control OF two-thirds OF the stock OF
the Fourth National Bank and add II 10
their present lists of banking institu-
tions absorbed and consolidated.
The trust companies mentioned are the
Industrial and the Manufacturers and
the officers OF both will neither affirm
nor deny the rumor which may be fully
verified before the close OF the month.
The lowest price at which Fourth Ma
tional stock has sold this year Is 127.
Last year IL ranged between 12oH and
12sh. II has been rising since June !, but
there were acoumulations OF the stock
previous TO that date. A public auction
sale on the board OF trade June 8
brought price OF 12slk per share. At
the present time 14i is bid on the local
exchange, but brokers are bidding as
high as 150 10 155.
The book value OF this stock Is alleged
to be about $40 per share. according to
the last official report, which showed
capital stock OF $685. .ooo. a surplus OF $780,
600 and undivided profits OF $3.50
There Is a dividend coming OF 50 per
share The prices that are being reported
on the stock show that the purchasers
are paying a premium above the actual
iiquidating value In order to absolutely
control this bank two-thirds OF the stock
and more must be acquired by either
party, and IL was sad among local
brokers today. that IL was suspected
that each OF two opposing interests had
acquired the necessary opposing third.
This would prevent entire control by
either side without tho approval OF the
other. but IL the two parties should unite
their interests I'm the matter IL would give
the combination the desired control.

A REAL YELLOW PERIL WASTES WIDE ACRES
WONDERFUL GOLD-MINING SHIPS
 DIG THEIR OWN SEAS,
Turning Fertile Valleys Into Gray Des- ert Places-RecOmDense,Y Yellow Grains No Eye Might
 Have Seen,

Harold Rolce in Booklovers Magazine.
 Fleets of strange vessels that sail on seas of their own creation are plough ing wide channels through the fertile valleys of the Pacific Coast, and are preparing to cruise in the same way across the plains of Asia. It Is a CO., lossal search for gold, and no quest was ever crowned with greater success. It Is the beginning of a revolution in mining. Plain after plain in Western America is being quietly purchased, and throughout the valleys of China path ways are being mapped for the coming Of the new American invasion.
 Every fact In regard to the big craft taxes credulity. The steel monsters dig their own seas, and these bodies of wa ter move across the country with the vessels they bear. Over the course they once take the big boats never return: there Is nothing to lure them back. They absorb the treasure as they pass. Operations never cease. Powerful cleo tric searchlights illumine the way bv night. Over the wide paths traversed by the new mining squadrons not a vine, tree, bush or a blade of grass will ever grow. They will remain for all ages as barren as a gigantic quarry or a street of cobblestones.
 A great steel ladder extends in front of the vessels, like an inverted bow spirit. Up and down the ladder march In endless procession bucket-shaped ploughs with mouths of forged man ganese steel. The chain that carries them will support a weight of 500 tons. These keen-edged scoops will cut through solid rock. marine engine drives them with irresistible force They delve into the banks ahead of the ships. literally eating up the land.
 Gorged with rock and sand. the buck cts mount the ladder again. and along & huge gantry are carried back to a TO- tattng cylindrical screen, into which they discharge their contents at the rate of thirteen buckets a minute. Each one of these steel carriers contains five cubic feet of earth, so that an amount of material equal to the contents of three city dump carts is poured every minute of the day and night into the whirling cylinder.
 Five thousand gallons of water a minute are simultaneously forced in- to the revolving mass. The screens make twenty revolutions every min ute. All the principles of mining employed in pans, cradles, long toms, sluices. grizzlies and amalgan plsiAs

 The funeral services were conducted from the Presbyterian Church Monday afternoon at 8 o'clock by Rev E. D. Patton, the pastor, and the remains inferred in the city cemetery, followed by d large cortege of relatives and friends and many negroes who he had also befriended. The bier was hidden from view hy beautiful floral offerings. Not in many years have Marion and Perry County felt so keenly the loss of 50 noble and valuable citizen. He leaves wife, two daughters and two sons, all of whom are grown. His youngest son is now seriously i'll with fever and in a critical condition.
 w. T. Middleton, a leading farmer of East Perry, died Friday last at the ripe old age of IS. He was buried Saturday with Masonic honors, he being a mem Der of PeTryvllle Lodge of that order He was leading and active member of the Baptist Church.

ticular husband to have been a bright man. And. indeed. husbands are often question than they seem.
 Shortcomings of American wives.
 I regret to say I am frequently friv- olous enough to read the questions of perplexed females and the answers thereto in the magazines and daily papers. One thing strikes me forcibly --the wall of the married woman, a wife for a year or more, who lanents that she does not possess her hus- bands love any longer. The reason remarkable to relate. doesn't seem to be some other woman, but the devotion of the head of the house to business, devotion ten times more engrossing according to the lady, than any other more romantic affection could be.
 Now, why is 1t that in this country the wife and husband so frequently drift apart after the first year or so of marriage. In Europe the natives are shocked to see the American woman travelling everywhere her husband Visitors to this country are like wise amazed to see her wrapped up in her clubs and social obligations They go home and praise the liberty the American woman enjoys-that Is. they praise the hard worked American man whose devotion to his wife Is so intense that he denies himself the

 The total expense in a day in the operation. of one of the great gold mining vessels is sometimes less than $30. The ships cost from S50.0o0 to $95,000, according to size. The first years criuse will pay for the monster itself, will pay the cost of the land, even at s5.Ooo the acre, will meet all expenses, including repairs and depre- citation of machinery. and still net the owner s100.o00.
 These are figures of actual opera tions and regarding land carrying a low proportion of gold.
 One of the gold ships will devour an acre of earth every month. AS there are now 100 vessels in the unique Pacific coast fleet 100 agricul- tural acres are being permanently de- stroyed every thirty days. In the val leys thus far prospected and pur- chased by the operators there Is an dSSui ante fOl dS ACdSt Ahtd yCoAS O@ mining activity, so that at the end of that period, even if no additional boats were launched in new sections. 60,000 fertile acres will have been der ducted from the tillable areas of Western America.
 Since the discovery of America. the amount of gold produced in the world has been less than eleven billion dol- lars.
 It is estimated that the small fleet of gold ships already in commission Is adding s36.000.oOO every twelve months to the worlds hoard.
 As these ships tear up alluvfal acres at a cost of three and four cents a ton, and can work at a profit, land that contains a very small proportion of yellow sands, it means that few valleys whose rivers rise in noun tains are safe from invasion. And so the Western States in America have reason to regard with grave serious ness the cruising of thoas semi-Huh- terranean squadrons, winch can gath. CT yellow particles so microscopic that the human eye cannot detect them. and in reaping this precious harvest can so metamorphose fertile domin- ions into perpetual desolatfons.
