OIL MAY BE BORED FOR IN
BEN HILL by SYNDICATE

Encouraged by government
surveys and outward indications
two syndicates have been formed
IN the city, which may probably
lead to boring one if not two deep
wells, in the hope of securing oil.
A careful survey of the evidence
IN the shape of maps made by the
government leads the promoters
to believe that oil is in the coun-
ty. The oil and gas survey shows
that within the county there is
what geologist call an "antieline"
covering large part Of the coun-
ty, which is said to be the scien-
tho sign of an oil deposit.
A plan is on foot to secure the
necessary cooperation of capital
to make the venture and we are
informed that leading fnanciers
have gfven the proposition favor
able consideration. 1t is well
known, that in no section where
oil has been found in the past.
have more outward signs been in
evidence and no oil wells have
ever voluntarily sprung from the
bowels of the earth or the sides
OF mountain. All of them had to
be bored for and all Of them were
purely speculative in the begin
ming. If the signs don't all fail
though some time they do, we
may look for oil to be found.

laborers from this point if you
want to-" said Mr.. w. E. Chris

ing.
There is Georgia law requir-
ing each agent soliciting labor to
be transported beyond the limits
OF the state to pay a license of
$500 for each and every county in
which he operates. This law also
makes it a misdemeanor to solicit
labor without paying this license.
If any of these agents have
been soliciting labor here to work
in another state, all your officers
have to do is to take out a war
rant for them and land them in
Jail. If the officer does not act,
any citizen can swear out the
warrant and stop the business at
once.

The Coney Island Side Show,
with its battling illusions and
feats OF magic has proven unus-

who enjoy the sensational ride
immensely, The Ferris Wheel

Average Of Scholarship

made by Dean Yeomans to the men,
bers Of Phi Beta Kappa today.
In the light Of the expulsion Of Gill
man. Boles and Enwright, three Of the
best football players in the Uni
versity. for low standing in studies,
this statement Is all the moro start
ling. Nearly so men besides the
prominent football players have been
asked by the faculty to leave for low
marks.
Various reasons have been attribut-
ed for the merciless welding Of the
axe. Undergraduates feel that a gen.
erar stiffening up Of the courses Is the
cause. But in the case Of the football
players, this is refuted. because the
administrative board before taking
final action on their cases, consulted
the professors as to the reason for the
low marks. In every case. 1t was
found that the men We're not having
trouble with their subjects but were

SERIOUS SHORTAGE
IN MATERIALS FOR
MAKING PAPER

Washington, March 1o.-The attention
Of the Department Of Commerce is called
by the president of a large paper manu-
featuring company to the fact that there
is a serious shortage of raw material for
the manufacture of paper, including
rags and old papers. He urges that the
department should make it known that
the collecting and saving Of rags and old
papers would greatly better existing con-
ditions for American manufacturers.
Something like 5000 tons Of different
kinds Of paper and paperboard are manu-
featured every day in the United States
and a large proportion of this after 1t
has served it's purpose could be used over
again in some class of paper. A large
part of it. however. Is either burned or
otherwise wasted. This. of course, has to
be replaced by new materials. In the
early history of the paper industry pub
licity was given to the importance of
saving rags. 1t is Of scarcely less i'm
portance now.
The Department Of Commerce is glad to
bring this matter to the attention Of the
public in the hope that practical results
may flow from it. A little attention to
the saving Of rags and old papers viii
mean genuine relief to our paper indus
