FIRST GOLD
FOUND IN 1928
According to Statements of Old
est Residents of Lumpkin
County 1t Was Found Prior
to 1928

DAHLONEGA, Ca, Oct. 24.JGold,
that yellow metal which has been the
object of man since time immem-
orial, was first found in Georgia
prior to the date usually given for
its discovery.
According to the testimony of the
earlier residents of Lumpkin coun-
ty, it was found near here prior to
1928 when the metal was first seen
on Dukes Greek in White county.
The discovery of the precious metal
brought an thrush of settlers, many
of them adventures seeking their
fortunes, while others were substan-
tial miners, anxious to develop the
rich treasures hidden in the hills.
Among those falling into the lat
ter group was Reese Crisson, one of
the best known metallurgists of his
day, who came to Dahlonega in the
year gold was found. Another was
Joseph Edwards, a man who became
leading citizen of the community
in latter years.
The Indians were undoubtedly
aware of the existence Of gold de-
posits in the Cherokee county, but
were probably ignorant of its value.
They knew it by the name "Talone
ka" meaning yellow metal" From
this designation, Dahlonega takes its
similar sounding name,
The United States mint was estab-
lished in Dahlonega in 1886, and
skilled workmen were brought from
Philadelphia to place the mint in OPP
GRAFTON. Until recent years many of
the gold dollars in circulation
throughout the United States bore
the mark of this mint. 1t was dis

FEED POULTRY
WINTER GREEN
Hens Without Green Feed Will
Lay Only Half AS Many
Eggs, 1t Is Said

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 3D.
Hens without green feed will lay
only one half the eggs they should
lay during the winter months ac-
,cording to D. H. Hall, Extension
Poultry Husbandman, who says that
the winter supply of green feed is
an important problem that every
poultry keeper should consider.
Green feed is important both from
an egg production standpoint and
from health and vitality standing.
Hens are not particular about the
kind of green feed given them. Any
kind of green feed is good provided
it is tender and succulent. For win
ter green feed Mr.. Hall recommends
lettuce. cabbage, collards rape, rye
and oats. The rape, rye end oats are
especially good because they can be
grown in the field and the hens
themselves allowed access to the
greens.
The green feed should be plant
ed right away. Eggs will re high
this fall and winter. and the roultry
keeper who sells winter eggs from
his flock will have a profit at the
end of the year. Help the hens pay
this profit by giving them plenty OF
green feed during the winter.

CODE PLANNED
FOR NATIONAL
ROAD SIGNALS
Signals for Highwaya Of Country
Are Selected After Three
Years Study
BY ISRAEL KLEIN

Three years of intensive research
and study have finally yielded a
standard code of signals and signal
lights, to be recommended for gen
eral use throughout the country.
This code is now in the hands of
the American Engineering Stand
ards Committee, which is to sponsor
the movement for its nationwide
adoption.
Fifty national organizations are
represented on this committee and
three sponsors of national repute
are backing the recommendation
These are the U. S. Bureau of Stand
ards, the National Safety Council
and the American association of
State Highway Officials.
Those interested in this study in
Guided groups representing automo-
bile manufacturers and owners, au-
tomobile accessory makers, railroads
and the interstate Commerce Com
mission, insurance companies, scien-
tific and technical societies and 9TH
er organizations having an admins
trative interest in this work.
The scope of the study covered
the use of colored lights on high
ways, streets and at various cross
ings; their use for signals or rail-
roads; coordination of color form,
position and number of signals; col
ors fr non-luminous as distinguished
from luminous as Observation-Disclosures
from luminous signals and many
other forms of signaling
One committee in this research
work made complete study OF sig
nails and traffic control in cities of
more than 100000 population.
Another visibility of colored lights
now in use, going even so far as to
consider their visibility against GER
tain backgrounds and in various con-
ditions of atmosphere, dust, fog or
rain.
A third committee studied the
non-luminous signs and signals and
suggested appropriate colors, forms
ana SyulUOlS 1O1 val AONo 00SSs
Out of this thorough research
comes the new code for standard
signals. Standard signs for various
types of crossings have been devised
with standard colors for each. Colors
for headlights and tail lights, as well
as other forms of sional hits have
been established and are recon-
mended for genera adoption.
One of the most significant find
ings is that yellow is the proper col
or for tail lights, indicating caution
rather than stop, the signal supposed
to be indicated by red.
Red, however, is recommended
because of the color's general adopt
ton. If change is made, the COM
mittee suggests, it should be from
red to yellow.
In addition to a uniform code,
pased on Unese recommendations, the
committee sees the Importance of a
campaign to educate the public into
the propert knowledge and use OF the
standard signals.

I way The long polar nights arc already setting In, and a combina- ton of night and fog, not overlook ing tho terribly cold atmosphere, forms an enemy that man, even with the aid of airplancs and aston ishing preparations, cannot yet de- feat. The time may come when explorers can laugh at such im- impedimenta, but that time has not yet arrived.
 Happily. however, the expedition will not be hereft Of the opportunity to make scientific explorations clos CT to the base al Etah. These should prove even more valuable from a practical standpoint than exploring the regions closer 10 the pole, es- pecially at thls time. And 1t is prob able that the experiences gained in flying In the northland from this base will he of much practical bene- ft when the time is regarded more propitious for the polar flights.
 That the expedition ultimately will be successful in all its under takings there can scarcely be any doubt, The failure to explore polar regions with airplanes this year does not mean 1t will not be done next year or the year following. The de- cision to discard this part Of the program this year merely means that MacMiilan Is exercising due caution; in other words, he is play ing safe" The decision may be slightly disappointing, but will most assuredly lead to greater success later.
