His salary is said to be $4,000 per
year.
The Securities company was organ
ized by the leading mining and metal
lurgical engineers of the world, to pass
upon the value and deal in the highest
class securities in mining properties.
Lewis was their choice to determine
the value of the properties dealt in,
and to handle the executive machinery
in big transactions.
Lewis came to Colorado from Michi-
gan in his boyhood, about 81 years
ago. He has first hand knowledge
of mining, as well as a theoretical one,

mine, smelter and mill. He is mem

MANN THE NOMINEE.

Judge William Hodges Mann,
of NOttoway, has been nominated
for Governor by the Democratic
primary.
Harry St. George Tucker was
opposed by two powerful organiza-
tions, while he had practically no
organization of any kind behind
him and had to depend upon a
personal following for his strength.
Under the circumstances, the
. showing of Judge Mann is not
one which we would feel proud Of,
while the number of votes cast for
Tucker shows that the machine"
III Virginia not only can be beaten.
but will be overwhelmingly de-
feated ere long.
1t has been generally whispered
around the haunts o. the machine
supporters that if Mann was nomi-
mated. the candidate who would
receive the support of the machine
four years hence had already been
selected.
While We would he inclined to.
support that gentleman four years
hence because we like him person
ally, this framing up" of the
States future political destinies.
four years in advance, does not
commend itself.
Those who participated in the
primary in this section were
pledged to support the nominee,
and we do not think Judge Mann
will have cause to complain about |
our action after the November
ballots are counted

THE COUNTY COMMITTEB

The votes cast In opposition to
the members of the old County
Executive Committee who stood
for reelection shows TO the least
ObServant of politicians that the
action of that Committee in the
recent Legislative primary and
the succeeding contest was not
popular with any considerable
number of the voters, and was de-
cidcdlv disag,eable Go The majority.
In our opinion. the County
Executive Committee occupies the
same relative position asany elected
law-maker His power comes
from the support Of the people.
If he favors legislation. which is
not approved by his constituents,
they will take the first opportunity
to express their disapproval with
an adverse ballot.
In this particular instance. the
action of the Committee met with
little favor from any quarter. and
vote againt the old Committee
plainly showed it.
From sixty to seventy-fve per
cent of the voters of Clarke county
believe that Ralph Grigsby was
nominated for the Legislature over
N. II. Reardon. by u majority of
from four TO six votes. \ majority
of the County Committee probably
Just rs sincere as the minority
members took an opposite view.
The Judges returns indicated
that GrigSby's majority was four
votes. The subcommittee of the
County Committee reported that
Grigsby was nominated by six
votes. Then the whole Committee
took up the contested ballots and
voted on each one separately, and
d number we're thrown aside as
illegal.
After eliminating several con
tested votes. the majority of the
Committee declared that Reardon
had received 2I5 and Grigsby oh.
This writer has talked with
dozens of voters from all parts of
the County, and the almost unan-
imous opinion has been that the
vote as shown by the Judges re-
turns should have been accepted as
the true verdict of the peoples
will
And the vote against the old
Committee last Thursday bears out
the statements made to us by the
people.

time with dilated eyes began TO cry.
IN vain did the child's mother en-
dcavor TO calm the perturbed Juvenile.
The poor mother was in despair, and
as the shrieks grew more and more
piercing Arago felt bound to interfere
and see what he could do He said TO
the child:
What ais you, my deary"
Thus addressed, the child sobbed
out, Take of your nose"
Arago looked at the mother. who
grew very confused and said:
"Ah, monsieur, excuse me-excuse

But, madame" said Arago. what

The lady gave a pull at Arago's
nose, but it did not come off in her

"A thousand pardons," she said, ''but

SO Arago continued his journey with
his nose in his hat, and the chiIds

himself used TO tell the story with
much glee.
