FAMILY OF LEWISIS
ONE OF FINANCIERS,
Strength and Ability is Well
Illustrated
IN cAsEeR OF THIS FAMILY
gurooss of the Measure Passed in
the -Iouse Wednesda by Congress S.
WeiIknown Georgia Family.

That versatile editor, Mr.. Jno. Z.
Boifeuillet, writes in the Macon Tele-
graph the following interesting article
of the well known Lewis family
Americas claims intimate relationship
with this staunch and splendid stock
of Georgia people. Mrs. William A.
DOdson is sister of Congressman e. B.
Lewis, and Mrs. DIR. J. G. Dodson is
his niece. Miss Annie Council, one of
Americas most charming young
women, recently married Mr.. c.. J.
Lewis, of Montezpma, who is engaged
IN the banking business with his uncle,
Hon. E. B. Lewis.
In reference to the bill. passed this
week in the House by Hon. e. B.
Lewis, permitting National banks to
make loans upon realty, Mr.. Boilfeufllet
writes thusly;
''Mr. w. M. Lewis, president of the
Fourth National Bank, Macon, is a
brother of Congressman II. B. Lewis,
of the Third Georgia District, and is
president of the First National Bank of
MOntezuma.
cit runs in the Lewis family to be
bankers. They are successful financiers.
This mention of the Lewis brothers at
this particular time has been called
forth by the fact that on Wednesday.
Congressman Lewis succeeded in hay
ing passed in the House his bill per-
hitting national banks to make loans
on farm lands as security.
Congressman Lewis has been great
ly Interested in this measure. He in
trOduced the bill last December.
1.-The bill proposes to allow national
banks to loan money on farm lands to
the extent of One-haif of the market
value. The time limit on such loans
is twelve months. Not more than rs
per cent Of the banks capital and
surplus can be SO invested, and appli-
cations for loans on farm lands must be
approved in writing by majority of
the banks directors.
There are two national banks in
Macon, the American National Bank,
and the Fourth National Bank. The
Lewis family seems partial to national
banks. Congressman Lewis thinks his
bill would be of considerable benefit to
the farmers. He feels confident that
his bill will pass the Senate.
THE tendency of the Lewis family
10 be bankers may or may not have
been the cause of one of Congressman
Lewis names. His full name is Elijah
Banks Lewis. His father made him
mis- partner in the banking business be-
fore his maturity, and he is still in this
business.
while Congressman Lewis is prac-
teal and successful business man he
also has a taste for politics. He was
State Senator in 1894-95. He was first
elected to Congress from the Third Dis
trict of Georgia in 1896, and was re-
elected in 1898, 1900. 1902, 1904 and
1906.
Besides being banker, he is large
iy engaged in the mercantile business,
and therefore is in position to judge
of the needs of the farmers. He GER
tainly should know whether or not his
bill which passed the House on We'd
nesdaY is calculated to help the farm
ing class

1t has always been the popular be-
lief that as soon as man invented
anything somebody else at once i'm
proved upon 1t and reaped the greater
benefit. A recent occurrence shows
that the reverse is sometimes the
case.
A young man in this city with a
knack for inventing mechanical appli-
ances recently patented an article
which, 1t was universally agreed,
would be of great benefit to railroads.
The agent of big corporation at once
entered into negotiations with the in
ventor, who fixed an upset price of
5000 for his idea. For days they
beat about the bush until finally the
young man agreed TO accept $1,000.
The money was paid over, the neces-
sary papers signed and the agent left
highly satisfied with his bargain.

from the mine. This matter involved
litigation, which was finally settled
about the outbreak of the revolution.
The kings side WON but the judg-
ment was never paid
Soon after Franklin visited the
mine the owners placed an order In
England for the pump AS English
law forbade the export of most kinds
of machinery to the colonies, and as
pumps we're on that list, the pump
parts were shipped as old metal.
With the engine came Josiah Horn
blower. who became a great light In
the engineering world Of the colonies
as well as patriot in and out Of
congress.
A year was spent in building the
engine plant. George Washington
was among the famous men who jour.
neyed to the mines to see HornbloweT
and the wonderful engine. AS soon
as the shafts were pumped clear min
ing began on a profitable basis. From
1775 until 1888 the troublous times
caused the shutting down of the
works.
In 1898 Nicholas ]. Roosevelt,
great granduncle of President Roose-
Welt, and he and. Hornblower and
some others organized the New Jer-
sey Copper Mining association to
work the mine and operate a smelter
and copper and brass rolling mill

The Oldest copper mine in America
Is the Schuyler of Arlington, N. j.,
which was opened 1870 years ago
Benjamin Franklin in 1749 advised
the owner to install steam engine
to pump the shafts free from water.
The working of this mine began In
TIA, when six tons of ore was sent
to BRISTOL Eng. for smelling. The
returns were large, and Immediately
project was set on foot to establish
smelling plant near the mine. in
which English coal would be used
and the product used for the copper
coins needed for the colonies Soon
shipped to Holland.
Gov Hunter OF New York and New
Jersey In the meantime advanced the
interests of the mine. but was stubbed
by the lords OF trade. who held to the
letter of the law that manufacturers
OF metals should not be permitted in
the colonies they held that all ores
mined hereabout should be sent to
England for smelling. That action
ruined the smelling and coming
project Thereafter the ore was sent
to England
AS the enterprise became profitable.
the attorney general for the colony
set forth that the mine was a part OF
the kings manor of East Greenwich.
and that therefore the king was en-
titled to certain share of the profits
