Making Uncle Sans Money and
any one interested on the subject can

Uncle Sam keeps on hand in a large

Of seven hundred million dollars.
They tell you in passing the vault
that the old man keeps this money to

it would be if all of us could keep
a little reserve to fall back on. An
other interesting feature of the bu-
reau of engraving is the postage
stamp.
Forty million postage stamps are
manufactured daily and put into
packages ready for shipments to the
sixty thousand postoffices through
out the United States. In a highly
interesting and beautiful story of
the postage stamp by the Honorable
Joseph f. Ralph, who is also Direc-
tor of the Bureau, find this state
ment: This daily output of post
age stamps will cover approximately
eight acres of land if laid out flat,
or make a chain of stamps seven
hundred and three miles when laid
end to end.
During the fiscal year of 1915 the
Bureau of engraving printed and de-
livered 1,289,000,000 perfect post
age stamps, amounting to $221,875,-
600"
While observing these stamps as
they emerged from the various mach
ines, | could not help but think that
here we can best ascertain the pros
perity of the country and the stand
ard of intelligence of it's citizenship
in the amount of postage stamps 1t
consumes. Two things are newt
able as the country's intelligence cX-
pands, the use Of more postage, and
the increase Of rural routes.

Honorable Gordon Lee"'

Hon. Gordon Lee having made his
announcement for reelection to con-
gress, thus invites public attention
to his record as the representative Of
the seventh district of Georgia in the
congress of the United States
"This record has been one of
achievement. 1t is one concerning
which Mr.. lee has a right to be
proud. He has been a democrat and al
ways to be found fighting for the prin
ciples and policies of his party; he
has been a faithful public servant
and has not sought to dominate but
to reflect the will of his people; he
has been constructive and has given
the agricultural interests the best of
service and ability in providing
means by which the government can
foster and encourage the art and pur-
suit of farming; he has been atten
tive to every request made by con-
stituent and has devoted work and
intelligent zeal to the performance
of his duties.
Mr.. Lee has sustained and upheld
the hands of the democratic admin

he has become a valued and influen-

splendid service to his district. No

will also make the control of floods
possible.
THE first dam would be construct
ed on the Etowah river, where it
flows out of the mountains. This
site has. already been surveyed by an
expert government engineer. who
states in his official report that it
is the logical place for such a dam
the river at this point is three hhn-
d",d feet wide and the bottom Of the
banks are granite. This is about
three miles east of Gainesville. The
engineers state that this dam site"
is all that could be desired for a
dam Of any height up to 200 feet.
The land that would be submerg-
ed is not particularly valuable. 1t
is estimated that of the land flooded
by 200 foot dam at this place "a
bout three-fourths is either wooded
or IN very partial state of cultiya-
ton. This dam it is estimated,
would develop 100000 horse power.
Two auxiliary dams would be cor
structed, one on the Coosawatte rfy-
er at Carters and the other twenty
miles further north on the ConnasaU-
ga river. The first of these on he
Coosawatte would be built at the
old mill place on the Carter farm,
dam having granite foundation ala
a height of $50 feet This y lu.d
have an average drainage of AL
square miles and would furnish 1885,
600 horse power
The dam on the Connasauga riy-
er would also have a granite founda
ton and a drainage of S. square
miles, furnishing 100000 horse pow
er. This would bring the total horse
power up to 1000 horse power,
which is more than twice what the
government fixes as the minimum
necessary.
These figures have been careful
ly compiled by the government engi.

and have made a thorough iu yesti-
cation of every point of importance.

GOVERNMENT NITRATE PLANT.

Congress has passed a law pro-
viding for three government nitrate
plants to be located in different sec
tons of the country Presumably at
least one of these plants will be To-
Gated in the South
Senator 7. w. Hardin, who rep
resents the adjoining senatorial dis
trict has inaugurated a movement
to secure for Georgia, the location
of the twenty million dollar nitrate
plant soon to be constructed by the
United States government. Judge
Hardin has made a careful investiga-
ton of the whole problem for a
considerable time, and has reached
the conclusion that when the claim
of Georgia is presented to the au-
thorities at Washington, the plant
will be located within this state.
Senator Hardin has introduced a
resolution in the Georgia state SEN
ate, the purport of which was to
call the attention of those in charge
of plans for the nitrate plant to the
ample water power in Northwest
'oI 2ia, which could be readily util-
lied in the manufacture of nitrate.
The logical place for the proposed
plant is near Gainesville. on the
