Special, Payable Out of This
Years Earnings, on
December 20.
$40, 900, 900 TO SURPLUS

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 17,-At a meet
ing of the directors of General Motors
Corporation, held yesterday, a special
dividend was declared of so cents per
share, payable out of this years earn
ings, on December 20, 1922, TO COM
mon stockholders of record at the close
of business November 81, 1922.
The net earnings of the corporation for

dividend of 30 cents per share, which
has been declared on the common stock,
the corporation will he enabled to carry
to surplus an amount in excess oi Si0,-
000000 at the end of the year.
The financial position of the corpora
ton is thoroughly satisfactory in other
respects. The corporation has ma
tcrially fortified its position and the out
look for 1923 is considered entirely salts
factory. 1t was decided, nevertheless,
to take no action at this time in the di-
rcction of placing the common stock on
a regular quarterly dividend basis, the
directors being of the opinion that, how
ever encouraging the outlook appears to
he for the future, the consideration of the
question of rcsuming regular dividends
on the common stock should be deferred
until the results and tho ccapital require
mcnts of future operations can he
satisfactorily asccrtained.

That The Clay
Deposits Sufficient
to Supply Needs
Of the Nation

That the Georgia clay deposits
are sufficient to supply the needs of
the nation for generations to came,
and that there are glowing opportu-
mites in he development of these
mineral resources. is the statement
of DIR. R. T. Stull, Chief Ceramist,
United States Bureau OF. Mines, who
is perhaps the leading ceramiomrm
expert of America. Dr. Stull is
quoted to this effect in a statement
by President Winburn of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway, published
elsewhere in this paper.
The Central of Georgia Railway
has been engaged for the past eigh-
teen months in a series of compre-
hensive tests of Georgia clays, in CO.
operation with the United States
government. The object of the rail-
way was to ascertain facts upon
which a program of development
might be based. The tests were con-
Quoted at the Ceramic Station of the
United States Bureau of Mines and
I'M rous manufacturing plants
and potteries. The work is still in
progress but enough hass been done
10 establish the fact tsat Georgia
kaolins can compete in the industries
with the English china clays, now so
largely imported
The availability of the bauxitic
clays in this section, for the manu-
facture of fire brick of high quality
has also been demonstrated. Large
deposits of these bauxitic clays have
recently been discovered. It is att
cipated that as the result of this in
vestigation production will be largely
increased.
The present value of GeOrgia's
mineral products is in excess of
$13, 900, 900 per annum, approximate
ly $50 of which is in brick and clay
products.
President Winburn says that the
Central of Georgia Railway is en-
gagged in his work in keeping with
it's policy of being "a good citizen
and a helpful neighbor", believing
that it has an obligation to aid in the
development of the country it ira
verses.
Pamphlets describing the govern
ment tests may be obtained by ap-
plication to ]. M. Mallory, General
Industrial Agent, Central of Geor-
gia Railway, Savannah, Georgia.

The Formation of Peach
County Has Been Defeated
Marks Unprecedented Vic
tory Over Constitutional
Amendment

With not yet all the counties
heard from late on Thursday
evening, there remaining yet a
few small counties from (which
returns cannot be gotten, the
fact is assured that the people of
Georgia, by popular vote, have
repudiated the act of the legisla-
ture by killing the Constitutional
Amendment which otherwise
would haye meant the formation
of Peach county from the terri
tory and citizenship Of Houston
and Macon counties.
Probably never before, in the
history of Georgia, was such a
fight waged, pro and con, and
the whole circumference CT the
state was stirred to an activity
that brought out a vote for and
against the measure that bespoke
a wide interest.
At this time a statewide count
of the votes of the counties heard
from gives an opposition against
the act of 5000 votes and the
victory is fully conceded, not
only by the state press at large,
but by the people of Fort Valley
and vicinity as well, who fought
so yaliantly and tirelessly for it's
passage.
Most gracefully have they ac7
cepted the defeat Of their pet
measure and most gracefully have
the people of Houston and Macon
counties taken their proffered
hands in in friendship with the
honest resolve Of all concerned
to live and love and labor as true
neighbors for a more pleasant,
prosperous and progressive COM
mon country.
1t was a bitter fight on both
sides and to the untiring efforts
of the good citizens of Houston
and Macon counties, men, wo-
men, boys and girls, is due the
victory that came out of seeming
chaos.
Quite a crowd Of Perry and
Houston county were in Monte
yuma and Oglethorpe on yester-
day evening, their cars decorat-
ed in bunting and flowers, flags
flying and sirens sounding, their
voices raised in ovation for the
help that had been accorded them
by Macon county.
Fort Valley has been heard
from and it is most probable, as
the arrangements, are in the
making, that two big barbecues
will be given, one by the people
of that place to which the citizen
ship of these two counties will be
invited and one Ivy these two
counties to which the citizenship
of Fort Valley and adjacent terri
tory will come as our guests OF
honor.
