Georsia's Mineral Wealth

Atlanta, Dec. 14.-V lluable de-
posits of soapstone AMI tale have
been discovered in sufficient guam
tites for mining in North Georgia, in
the vicinity of Commerce, Jefferson,
Chatsworth, according to the official
report Of State Geologist McCallie
just submitted to the state
geological board. Special reference
is also made to asbestos, which it is
said could be mined profitably in
this state.
Indeed it is believed that with
proper development Georgia could
become one of the great mining
states of the union. Not more than
a week ago, a North Georgia citizen
called at the capital with pocket
full Of gold nuggets which he had
found on his farm in the mountains.

Red Cross Seal Notes
SOME RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES

Few people have any conception
of the magnitude of the Red Cross
Christmas Seal Campaign. The fol-
lowing figures will show what 81
gantic movement this is. Already
85,000,00O seals have been printed,
and practically that entire number
distributed to agents. Probably Is,
100000 more will be needed. Ad-
vertising circulars, posters, cards, etc,
to the number of several million
have also been distributed. 1t is es-
timated that the army of paid and
volunteer workers engaged in selling
the seals will number over 100000.
The advertising and publicity do
mated to the campaign will amount
to several hundred thousand dollars
Every effort is being put forth to
sell 1O0,000,000 seals, or about one
for every man, woman, and child in
the United States.

Army Reforms Following
Governors Suggestion

Atlanta, Dec, 14,-If it be true
that imitation is the sincerest flat
terry, then Uncle Sam is preparing
to pay high compliment to the
state of Georgia.
The army appropriations bill
which will shortly be presented in
congress, contains provisions for pre-
cisely the same merging of offices
and simplifcation of army business
that was recently adopted by order
of Governor Hoke Smith in the
Georgia adjutant generals office.
In Georgia the office of quartermas-
ter general was abolished, its duties
merged with that of adjutant gener-
al, and the money previously paid
to the Quartermaster general devot-
ed to paying a more efficient cleri-
Cdl lOICC.
In the proposed United States ar
my change it is proposed to com
bine and consolidate in the same
way, merging the offices of adjutant
general and inspector general, and
consolidating them with the gener-
ais staff. The quartermaster and
comissary department will be COM
bined, in the same way if the bill
goes through.
These reforms are along lines
which have long been agitated for
Georgia by the leaders of the state
militia, and which have already
been partially put into effect, as
above explained, by order of Cover
nor Hoke Smith.
