GREAT INDUSTRY FOR GEORGIA
Assured in the Development OF Beds
KaoIin.

The discovery and sale recently OF
extensive beds ofkaoIin near Americas
to parties who propose to develop this
valuable property means the establish
ment of a great enterprise here, no
doubt, as well as directing attention to
other fine deposits in this state.
For kaolin' mines in middle Georgia
are being worked already.
A careful investigation is now beiug
made Of the white clay belt, which ex-
tends entirely across the state from
Augusta, on the east, to Columbus on
the west, with Macon about it's center.
This, work is being done by the state
geological department.
1t has been placed, especially, in the
hands of Assistant GeoIogist Otto
Veatch, who is devoting all of his time
to this particular work.
Already something like 80, 900 tons OF
kaolin are being shipped annually from
Georgia to other states, most of which
is being used by the northern paper
manufacturers as a filler.
A quantity of this kaolin is shipped to
Ohio and New Jersey potteries, where
some the finest grades of china are
manufactured. Ohio is the greatest
pottery center in the United States, and
yet not one pound of white clay has
been found there.
The Georgia geological department
believes that this industry can be built
up right here at home-that we can
establish successful potteries for the
manufacture of all grades of china,
even approaching the finest, practically
right at the site of the mines.
The work is being done with this
hope and this end in view.

BUILDING WILL BEGIN SHORTLY
Upon col'egs for Third Conqre sion
al District

1t is confidently expected that build
ing operations will be started shortly
upon the boys dormitory and academic
department of the Third district agri-
cultural college. When the contract
was let in Americas two or three weeka
ago it was announced that building op-
erations would be inaugurated by
March LIST, and there has been no other
announcement to the contrary. Several
minor contracts have since been given
out in Americas, and when once the
work of brick-laying is stated the
buildings will be pushed rapidly to
completion. Americas will have as
handsome and commodious college
building as any of the eleven districts
in the state.

EXPECT TO RAISE THE AMOUNT
Fifteen Thousand is Necessary tc
Get Fair.

While Sumter county will probably
have no exhibit at the State Fair, lots
of Americas people, as usual, will at
tend the Atlanta show, If she raises the
money and gets the fair. With $3.50
already pledged, it is thought that the
guarantee fund of Sl5, zoe, necessary for
the state fair, will be raised by the time
of the annual meeting of the fair asso-
citation March II, when it will be de-
cided whether or not the fair can be
held in Atlanta. 1t is believed that the
subscriptions will be increased to over
81, 900 within the next few days in
view of the fact that although the no.
tells and clothing houses are included
in the IS, 10 that has been subscribed,
they will increase their donations. The
hotels will in all probability add $4,000
more and the clothing houses 81, 900 or
more. The committees, which will
have the subscriptions in charge, will
do all in their power to secure the nee
essary fund by March II. The success
of the subscription committee will de-
termine whether the fair shall, be held
in Atlanta or not, as the offer made was
conditioned on raising the necessary
SIS, 600.

IN INTEREST OF THE RAILROAD
Promoters of the Enterprise Co to
New York.

Messrs. Crawford WheatIey, Sey-
mour Byron ana P. S.~Loveioy, the
two latter gentlemen representing in
terests in Dooly and Pulaski counties
respectively, left yesterday for New
York where they go in the interest of
the proposed Western 81 Gulf Railway
These gentlemen are inhuentialin their
respective communities and have done
valiant service in promoting the inter-
ests of the railway. There will be no
difficulty in financing the enterprise
and, with the subscriptions in hand, it
is expected that the actual work of con-
struction will be entered upon in short
while. The building of the Western &
Gulf Railway, sixty miles, Americas to
Hawkinsville, means a vast deal for
the development of this city and the
splendid country through which the
road will run. Messrs. Wheatley Byr-
ON and Lovejoy will be in New York
for week, al least, in the interest of
the enterprise.

FARMERS ALL WELL ADVANCED
Work in All Lines Well Up. For
Season,

Farming operations about Americas
are well advanced for the season, and
not few farmers are ready to pitch
their crops. Some have planted corn
already, though not to any considerable
extent. The weather since Christmas
week has been very fine for doing farm
work. In fact, it is not often that the
weather is half so good as it has been
this year. The only drawback that the
farmers have had about their work in
preparing for another crop has been the
scarcity of labor. Some of them have
not secured as many hands as they de-
sire, and this has interfered with their
preparations for the crop this year.
