ashington.-Uncle Sans financial
who hold prominent treasury positions
are most sought after material The
department of which Mr.. Cortelyou is
now the head, has developed into =
sort of breeding place for chieftains
of the great banks of the country.
From the time a man becomes sec
retary of the treasury or even gains
one of the assistant places, ne bs-
comes a marked man on part of the
big financial institutions.
Immediately they all want him, and
he must be literally supplied with
cash and patriotism TO refuse the kind
of offers they make. Salaries they ex-
tend far outclass the comparatively
modest payment that Uncle Sam a.
lows. 1t is small wonder, therefore,
that one by one they succumb and
quit Washington for New York, Chi
cagO and other financial centers.
The recent selection of George E.
Roberts, director of the mint, to be
president of the strong Commercial
bank of Chicago, is an instance of this
tendency. Perhaps the directors figur-
ed that if he were skillful enough to
make money for Uncle Sam, he ought
to know how to take care Of it for
them. Hence the election.
Despite his ability, MIR. Roberts
might never have come to this prefer
ment but for the prominence that po-
litical life gave him.
This is a good practical argument
for young man to get into politics,
and act honestly in the public service.

Richmond, Va.-October of the pres

tory of old Bruton Parish church, in
Williamsburg. Va, because of the an
nouncement made a year ago that
King Edward Of England will present
TO the church a Bible and President
Roosevelt a lectern in commemora-

October has been chosen as the
most appropriate month of the tercen-
tennial year for the presentation be-
cause the general Episcopal cOnven-
ton will be held in this city that
month. Dignitaries of the church will
journey to the old capital on October
5, when the presentation ceremonies
will take place.

presidency of the Commercial bank,
and he held the post to the time of his
death recently.
Another comptroller of the treasury,
EdwaTd S. Lacey, looked to Chicago
like tze kind of stuff to which finan-
ciers are made, and he was attracted
from Washington to assume control of
the Bankers National bank. This was

Frank A. Vanderlip, once a machin-
ist, later a newspaper man, who first
came into prominence as the business
associate of Lyman Gage, is another
example of a United States treasury
official taken from the public service
because a private corporation needed
his work
A place had to be especially created
for him in the National City Bank of
New York, famous as the institution
from which the Standard Oil company
handles its banking business. This
bank has a capital of S25 900, 900, and
its deposits are eight times as great,
which makes it the leading financial
institution of the United States. The
Office of vice president, formerly mere
ly an honorary title, was developed
into a place second only in power to
the president for Mr. Vanderlip.
In his change from Uncle Sam to a
private corporation as an employer Mt
Vanderlip followed the lead of his Old
chieftain, Lyman H. Gage, former sec
retary of the treasury.
Gage, when appointed to the place
by President Mckinley, was highly
rated in Illinois as a financier of first
rank, but the remainder of the coun-
try, while it knew his name, had never
ranked him among the giants.
But from the time he took hold Of
the nations finance he found himself a
much-sought for man, and eventually
he capitulated, and took the presi-
dency Of the United States Trust com
pany.
The man who came after Mr.. Gage

Iowa, had an experience much similar

come to be one Of the most talked
about men in the United States.
Long before Glenn got to be gov
enor, he learned how to fight. As he
grew older, however, his combative in
sdncts were limited to the court
room and the campaign. In both he
has been rarely a loser.
Incidentally. he served mis- present
foe, the Southern railway, as an assist
ant division counsel less than five
years ago. He also represented the
Nesturn Union Telegraph company
and other corporations. 1t was no Sc
clct at the time of his election, that
the Southern and the rest of the cor
pOratiOns rejOiced over his success.
They thought he was on their side.
Gov. Glenn was born in Rockingham
county, on Aug. Il, 1854. His father, a
farmer, well-to-do and sprung from an
old family, was killed in the civil
war. His mother, who was a woman OF

very like that by derivation. 1t is true
that Pliny considered "butyrum' to be
a Scythian word. but it seems clear
that it was really Greek-from "bous, :"
a COW. and ''turos,' cheese, and meant
literally "cow-cheese." "Buttery," by

That this will result was indicated

after the addresses at today's ses-

spiners by reason of poor methods of

Hon. w. T.. Lane, Americus, Ga.
Dear Sir-Your letter received.
Immediately inquired about the samp-
les of iron ore sent in by you and
both DR.. McCandless Gnd Prof. Nc
Callie stated that this ore contained
60 per cent. of Oxide of Iron or from
45 to so per cent, metallic iron.
Prof McCallie, who has had a
great deal of experience with ores of
this character, states that this is un-
questionably very valuable, provided
you have it in sufficient quantity to
make it profitable to work.
Now, it would seem that the best
thing would be to have some one to
make an examination to find out the
quantity of ore you have, and if you
desire l will undertake to have a
man go to your place and make the
examination for you. Let me here
from you. Yours truly,
T. G. HUDSON.
AS this ore is here in greatest
abundance, thousands of tons, no
doubt, Mr.. Snider will have good
thing in his ore deposits and will
proceed to develop them.

Few companies in the State service
can enlist So men, unless there is a
combination among them
On this point it may be stated that
conditions in Albany are almost as
bad as in Americus, at least from
the standpoint of military interest
The Albany company owes no debts,
but the enlistment, it is said, is far
from what it should be.
The Guards as we'll as the Light
Infantry need bolstering.
The Albany council appropriates
$3.50 annually to the support of its
military company, while an equal
amount is raised from the sale of
jury exemptions-a nucleus of 5000.
An Albany officer high in authority
suggests the consolidation of the Am
ericus and Albany commands after
January 1st as the best means of
retaining them in the service. This
suggestion meets with favor here as
well, and the course may be adopted
Something should be done by citi-
zens of both towns to keep up the
military commands. Once out of COM
mission, it would be difficult, if not
impossible, to restore them.

IRON DEPOSIT IS VALUABLE
AmeriCuS Man Is Assured of Great Wealth Covering
His Broad Acres.

Iron ore in greatest abundance
covers many broad acres on the Snid-
er plantation, six miles from Ameri-
Gus, and is found in quantities upon
other lands in that locality as. well.
The ore has been tested by the State
chemist, who pronounces it very val
liable, containing so per cent of pure
metallic iron.
Mr. Snider is very much elated
over the result of the test made of the
ore, which is found in abundance on
his farm.
Some time since he brought a wag-
on load of the ore to Americus, not
knowing fully what it was, though
satisfied that it was iron ore, as were
all others who examined it.
The ore is black, and large frag-
ments of it, weighing from 10 to 100
pounds, cover Mr.. Snider's fields in
every direction and is under the sur
face as well. For longe years he
has grown cotton over his iron dep
osits, little suspecting the values of
his possessions.
Col. W. T. Lane suggested send
ing particles of the ore to the de-
partment of agriculture for exami-
nation, and he has received the fol-
lowing statement from Commissioner
