A CAPITAL OF S75,OOO,OOO
VIII BE Behind This New Giant
Guano Trust. / Georgia Com
Germ Is in Ii.

A New York dispatch says it is
reported that the biggest deal in the
history of the fertilizer trade IS be-
ing arranged, and it is expected that
an official announcement viii he
made shortly by the banking house
which is working out the details.
The new company, which will be
capitalized at s75,000.O0O, will take
over the fertilizer business of the
Armour and Wire Packing Compa-
MES. The Armour Company has two
large plants in Baltimore, while the
Wire works are located in Whining
ton, Del. and Atlanta, Ga
Details of the proposed merger are
very meagre, but it is understood that
some Of the larger interests have al
ready signed up and that others have
promised to join the combination
later.
The new company, it is.added. has
entered into contract with the Ten
uessee Copper Company for the pur-
chase of several hundred thousand
tons Of su,phuric acid, one of the
properties which enter into the man
ufacture of Fertilizers
It is understood that as soon as
the promoters corral the larger indie
pendent fertilizer manufacturers of
the. country it will enter into nego-
tiations with the smaller concerns
either to buy them outright or in
duce them to join the new combina-
ton on mutually satisfactory terms.

A PERFECT FLOOD OF GOLD

Pouring From Africa's Mines.
$500 Each Second.
Take your watch, hold it to your
ear and listen to the ticks, writes
Frank G. Carpenter in a graphic ac-
count of the marvellous Rand gold
mine, South Africa. For every one
of them four dollars worth of yellow
gold is now coming out of the great
mines That is the measure of the
stream and it goes on second after
second, minute after minute, hour
after hour, day and night, all the
year through. The steady output of
the gold mines of the Rand is now
81 per second, $240 per minute.
more than 1000 per hour and over
100000 per day. In 1907 the prod
uct was more than $13V,000,O00. or
more than eleven million dollars
worth of the yellow metal every
month
In all history there has been no
such golden flood as that which is
now pouring forth from the Trans
yaal. The mines of India, of Croe-
sus and of Solomon were as nothing
beside it. The treasures of Mexico
and Peru in the times of Cortez and
Plzarro dWindle in comparison and
Australia, Alaska and California
have had nothing like unto this. The
mines OF the Rand are now produc.
ing more than one-fourth of all the
new gold in the world. They We're
discovered only a little more than 20
years ago and they have already

been proved for a length of more
than 60 miles, and experts say that

lions i'm the South.
Individual enterprise is far from
dead, even if this be the age of the
syndicate and the trust. There are
number of striking examples in
this country today of where one man
is doing what is only expected of a
corporation.
Henry H. Rogers, who is a part
ner of Mr.. Rockefeller in the oil bus
mess, has taken $31,000,000 from
his own pocket to build personally
a railroad through the Virginias.
This is nearly four times the fortune
which Girard bequeathed to Phila-
delphia for his great college.
Another partner of the Standard
OILS father is also a railroad build
err. Henry NJ. Flagler, among his
other huge undertakings, is at work
on the only saltwater" railroad in
the world. His remarkable road
over the Florida keys is monument
to his energy, as well as a triumph
of engineering. His various lines
have cost $25, 100000.
David Moffett is one of the big
figures of the west. Having accum-
ulated a vast fortune he is spending
a large part of it in building a rail
road from Denver across the Rocky
Mountains.
These men and others like them,
although less notable, have the crav-
ing to do a monumental work as in
dividuals. could there be a better
proof that such far-sighted individ
uals have unbOunded faith in the flu
ture of their country than the risk
of their personal fortunes on new
railroads ?-Philadelphia Press.

chasers, sponge baths. dishwashing
once daily, instead of thrice; feeding
of pumpkins to stock to allay thirst,
the carting of spring water miles in

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-The parting
Of the ways between Col. Duncan B.
Cooper and the late ex-senator Car
mack, who died with his boots on,
and whose tragic end has torn the
south, came three years ago, when
the latter was a candidate for re-
election to the senate. Ex-Gov. Bob
Taylor opposed him for the demo-
cratic nomination before the prima-
Ties and Cooper supported Taylor for
the alleged reason that Carmack was
building up machine the like of
which Tennessee had never seen be-
fore
The senator denied the charge We
bemently and questioned the sin
cerity of Coopers attitude, both in
the press and on the stump. The
latter had long since lost control of
the Nashville American, which he is
said to have owned no less than half
dozen times, but he was still a con-
siderable figure in the politics of the
state,

Senator Taylor, who supported him
against Patterson. tried to act as
peacemaker, as did other influential
friends in Tennessee, but to all Car

proposition that meant even the con-
sideration Of Cooper in any way
whatsoever
"Carmack place is in the sane

with friends in Washington a few
weeks ago. There he is more bril-
liant even than Watterson. If he
were to continue in politics he would

In both of his most recent cam
paigns Carmack was an ardent pro-
hibitionist, and many who had
known him best and longest ques-
toned his sincerity. He was never
known as a total abstainer, and had
the reputation of taking a few more
than the temperance limit whenever
he felt so disposed That is one rea-
son why he was so often called in
sincere.
Cooper Very Prominent.
Col. Duncan b. Cooper, father of
Robin Cooper and enemy Of Carmack,
has for years been one of the best
known men in Tennessee. He was
an officer in the confederate army,
and afterward one of Gen. Forests
chief lieutenants in the Ku Klux
movement His brother, the late
Henry Cooper defeated Andrew
Johnson for the United States senate
upon the latter's retirement from the
presidency. Col. Cooper often tells
how in the height Of that campaign
his brother would recite a little coup
let and put into practice the philoso-
ply it contained. He taught it to
Carmack, and that statesman recited
it many times to his friends. 1t is
as follows
No matter what you sing or say
The world rolls on the same old way,

The platform is a silent rep, lation

The platform begins with an eulogy
