In the show window of Maler

most costly works of art which th* skill
and Ingenuity of the metal worker can
davlea.
It la th* handsomely engraved gold
plate, made Of solid gold mined from
the soil of Georgia, which will be pro
sented by the people of Georgia to
President Theodore Roosevelt at a sou
venlr of Georgia Day, June 10, at the
Jamestpwn Exposition.
The gold plate le ten by elx Inches In
else, end Is made of pure gold taken
from the Franklin mine of the Creigh
ton Mining Company In Cherokee coun
ty. Tho plate bears n reproduction of
the house of President Roosevelt'#
mother at Roswell. In the upper left-
hand corner Is engraved the coat ot
arms of the Bulloch family and In the
upper right-hand corner Is the coat of
arm* of the etato of Georgia. Near the
bottom of tho plate tho following In
scrlptlon Is engraved: ■ .
"Theodore Roosevelt, president of th*
United States. Georgia Day, James
town Tar-centenary Exposition. June
10. 1*07. W. N. Mitchell, president
Georgia commlaelon. Joseph M. Ter
rell, governor of Georgia.”
Th# plate will be encased In a hand
some box made of Georgia wool and
lined with velvet and covered with
whit* satin. Th* lid of the box bear*
the United States coat of arms, hand
somely painted In gold and the colors
of th* United States, by Harry 8. Os

Representing the childhood horns of
tho president’s mother, In which he has
always taken an unbounded Interest,
the plate serves the double purpose of
Unking the heart of the chief executive
