touches seem something like letting
your light shine"
wouldn't wonder if some of you
have come to the conclusion that
Aunt Madge is getting frivolous in
her old age, so | am going to quote
few sentences from Lectures on
Rhetoric" printed in 1918, and
written by Hugh Blair d. D. From
chapter on English tongue:
The English which was spoken after
the Norman Conquest, and continues
to be spoken now, is mixture of the
ancient Saxon and the Norman French,
together with such new and foreign
words as commerce and learning have
gradually introduced. Few languages
are more copious than the English.
In all grave subjects, especially
historical, critical, political and moral,
no complaint can justly be made of the
barrenness of our language.
Again, a speech from Colden's
History of the Five Indian Nations,
which was delivered by their chiefs,
when entering on q treaty OF peace
with us;
1--WE are happy in having buried un-
der ground the red axe, that has so
often been dyed in the blood of our
brethren. Now, in this fort, we inter
the axe and plant the tree of peace.
We plant a tree whose top Will reach
the sun: and it's branches spread
abroad so that it shall be seen afar off.
May it's growth never be stifled and
choked: but may it shade both your
country and ours with its leaves.
Let us make fast it's roots and extend
them to the utmost of your colonies.
If the French should come to shake
this tree we should know it by the
motion of it's roots reaching into our
country. May the Great Spirit allow
us to rest in tranquility upon our
mats, and never again dig up the axe
to cut down the tree of peace. Let
the earth be trodden hard over it
where it lies buried. Let a strong
stream run under the pit, to wash the
evil away out of our sight and remem-
brance The fire that has long burned
in Albany is extinguis ed. The bloody
bed is waShe ed clean, and the tears are
wiped from our eyes. We now renew
the covenant chain of friendship. Let
it be kept bright and clean as silver
and not suffered to contract any rust
Let not anyone pull away his arm from
it, +"

Dear NJ. b. Family:
I am much pleased to have this
word-painted poem to add to our
Original corner" and l want you
all to realize there is always room
for more. | am aware that there is
much talent among the writer's OF
our column | write the 'of' in the
last sentence advisedly; for it is
the writers who have made the
column what it is. No one person
could make it mutual proposition.
But to return to the subject Of
latent talent Like Esther, why not
get an inspiration from the changing
season, from the sunset glory, from
the evening stars, or the northern
glow which some clear nights just
illumines the sky? Don't let the fad
ing beauty of the foliage or the drip,
drip, of the autumn rain depress
you. I am always sorry for those
who allow bad weather to affect
them.

Dear NJ Rs:

Dear Nj. BIS:
Before it is too late to get the
berries l thought / would tell you of
a decoration | saw in a home | visited
on snowy day last winter. Between
the inside and the outside windows OF
the living room, at the sill, small
sprays of evergreen and red berries
were arranged to give delightful
brightness against the falling snow
outside. he hostess is away from
home often, and cannot always have
houseplants, and this decoration was
her substitute. of course | came home
and in rooms whore | had no plants,
| also placed in the windows some
evergreen and red berries of the
mountain ash, gathered in the fall
while on pleasant ride with Beth
and her husband. l enjoyed them all
winter. The red berries seen so fire.
quent1y by the roadside, are fine for
this purpose; also other winter deco
rations, like everlasting flowers
| tried two new recipes the other
day and found them so good | pass
them on.

One of the most active mines
at the present time in the state OF
Sonora is the Noche (Buena, nine
miles west Of Camou, and owned
by DR.. A. L. Gustetter, prominent
Nogales man. Camou is 1O9 miles
south Of Nogales.
The Noche Buena is a lead-sil-
yer property. At present it is
shipping only high grade shipping
ore, the milling ole being placed
on the dump at the mill awaiting
the summer rains IN order to sup
ply sufficient water to run the
mill "a hours a day. The mine is
averaging about two carloads of
high grade ore a month, besides
extracting lots Of milling ore.
There is now nearly 5000 tons of

Through the ages mining actl-
vities, as well as all other indus
tries, appear to wax and wane in
cycles of from five to ten years.
Periods of activity follow those
of depression. After the pro
longed period of depression,
caused by the late World War,
the pendulum seems swinging
toward revival in the copper mar
ket-certainly standard statistics
indicate an enormous increase IN
consumption of the red metal IN
Europe and elsewhere.
Despite croakings Of the per-
Genial pessimist copper is pre-
eminent in it's sphere. Moreover,
campaigns of publicity conducted
by various Copper Producers
Associations, during several years
last past, have increased marvel
lously per capita use of copper IN
such spheres as household utensils,
h1ic-aIbrac, shingles, etc.
Through centuries dreamers
have talked of substitutes for cop
per. However, none has been
found so far; and in spite of
chemical and mineralogical re-
search during the late war, the
present pre-eminent position of
copper in the industrial world is

COPPER CONTINUES PRE-EMINENT

the same as in 19O8-long before
the Kaiser's fiasco Of 1914. In
the former year, after a critical
and mastery discussion of copper
and it's possible substitutes,
Stevens, the great authority on
copper, closed his thesis, as fol-
lows:
apparently supremacy Of cop
per in it's leading fields is not
seriously threatened by aluminium
(its nearest rivaD which metal
will make a place for itself in the
industrial world, having certain
advantages which must extend
greatly it's present use; and cer-
tain limitations as we'll, which will
operate in all probability to pre-
vent it's becoming a dangerous
competitor of copper" (See Cop
per Handbook, Volume 8,1908,
page 1907.
sJust preceding the dictum quo
ted, Stevens wrote, also
"** ** aluminium would become
a competitor to be reckoned with
seriously by all other commercial
metals, but the brunt of the fight
would be borne by tin and copper;
and probably tin would be the
greater sufferer of the two - in
the long run"
Stevens died in 1912, two years
before the Great War, but his
summary Of the situation, as
quoted above, maintains its force
and vigor; and in it's sphere cop
per is still pre-erlinent, with no
probability whatever of displace-
ment by aluminium, or any other
metal.

MILLIONS IN GOLD OFTEN
MOVER OVER BUSY STREETS
Money Caravans Guarded by Police
And Armor in New York City.

Millions of dollars in gold move
through the streets of New York city
every now and then, fleets of trucks
carrying money from bank to bank.
And yet there have been very few at
tempts 10 rob one of these caravans.
That is because no precaution is too
small in the business of guarding
against bandits and gunner.
Men who drive the gold trucks new
er know the routes they will follow
until time to move. The trucks them
selves are huge armored affairs which
not even machine gun bullets can
penetrate.
Beside, scores of policemen keep
guard around the truck while the NOV
ing goes on. Motorcycle policemen
ride beside the truck with guns on
their hips in plain view 1t is a brist-
ling warning to thieves. AS a result
the gold trucks are only casual part
of the passing parade, and pedestrians
give them only a hurrying glance and
thought.

BANKS OF GEORGIA
AT NEW HIGH MARK
ASSETS SHOW DECIDED IN
CREASE OVER LAST YEAR.
DEPOSITS $685., 6o3, SSO12.

Georgia banks set new records for
assets and deposits at the close OF
1924, according to the annual report
of T. R. Bennett, superintendent OF
the state banking department. On Jam
uary /, 1925, the assets were $487,-
155S09.12, and the deposits were $751;
693,880.12.
State bank assets in 1924 showed a
substantial gain over the previous
year, according to the report, although
the merger of the Atlanta National
bank and Lowry bank, of Atlanta,
transferred $30,000,000 of assets into
the national bank jurisdiction and out
of the jurisdiction OF the state bank
ing department.
Assets of state banks in 1924 were
1921 1908, 80912,. and those of national
banks SOS, $4,000
On anuary /, 1924, there were $50
state banks in Georgia with forty-five
branches; eight new banks were char
tered during the year and four increas-
ed their capital stock.
Commenting on the results shown
by the report, Mr., Bennett expressed
the opinion that Georgia's banking
and financial situation is greatly i'm
proved, and that a steady gain is being
registered in the fundamental phases
OF development.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The eco
nomic importance of motor transpor-
tation is emphasized in report pre-
pared by the American committee on
highway transport for submission to
the third biennial conference of the
International Chamber of Commerce
at Brussels this month. As made pub
lie today by the Chamber Of Com
mcrce of the United States, the re-
port says Americans now spend 49,
000,000,000 annually in the purchase
and maintenance of automobiles, with
latest figures showing l7.500,000 pas
senger cars and trucks in use in the
United States, or one to every seven
inhabitants.
The widespread uses of the motor
car has contributed much to the in
crease OF billions of dollars in the
wealth and resources Of the country,
it finds. 1t points out especially the

portation.
Social Structure Involved.
"But as the development has pro-
ceeded it has become evident that mo-
tor transportation is a utility which
can render invaluable service not alone
in the definite additions which Il
makes in national wealth, but to the
more far-reaching effect which it has
upon the social structure and the
standards of living and natjona1ism.
1.-The motor car has performed a
significant function in eliminating sec
tional differences, and the manifold
uses OF modern highway transporta-
ton are welding the nation into a
homogeneous whole. The development
OF motor transportation which has ia
ken place in the United States will
inevitably come in other countries"

revolution this development has
wrought in the life of the farm.
The report states, however, that
mistakes have been made in the devel-
opment of motor transportation in the
United States.
Early Errors Pointed Out.
"The functions which it could best
serve and its relation to other trans
portation factors" it explains, were
not fully understood at the outset and
1t has taken much time and money to
rectify some OF the errors. Inferior
highways have been made to serve
where the cost of maintenance was
uneconomically high and traffic JUS
tilted their replacement with higher

BAN ON REALTY SALE
TO NEGROES UPHELD
COURT OF APPEALS AT WASH
INGTON RULES RESTRICT
I'VE DEED is LEGAL.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Provis-
ions placed in deeds conveying resi-
dental property, which prohibit trans
fer of the property subsequently to
negroes, are binding, the court of APP
pea1s of the District of Columbia has
held in affirming the decision OF the
supreme court of the District.
The case involves a residential sec
ton developed by a real estate con-
Germ. In each deed the real estate
company inserted restriction that
subject to the covenant that said lots
shall never be rented leased, sold,
transferred or conveyed unto any ne
gro, or colored person under penal
ty of $1,000, which shall be a lien
against said lot"
Mrs. Minnie E Torrey contracted
to sell her house to a negro, Serene s.
Ivy, but before she gave possession
suit was brought by several neighbors
and the supreme court issued a re-
straining order against the proposed
conveyance of the property.
THE citizen, whether he be black
or white the decision said, may re-
fuse to sell his property, or he may
sell it under such lawful restrictions
as he may see fit to impose. This right
of placing restriction upon the use OF
property is available alike to all citi-
zens, white or black, and covenant
thus placing restriction upon the
use OF property is enforcible in equity
against a member OF the excluded
race, whether the person particularly
excluded be white or black"
