THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 1-. WKDNX8DAY, YIBUUABT U. HOI. t: r* AN INTEREST IN A GRAPHITE MINE Is Better Than Bank Stocks, a 4 Per Cent Savings Account, or Real Estate Investments— .... , WHY? Because it is safer, and will pay three or four times as much interest on the in vestment. Bank stock may become, valueless, savings accounts often evaporate and real estate is liable to depreciate in value. But where nature deposits in the ground millions and millions of tons of GRAPHITE, in plain sight, for which there is an ever-increasing market at very profitable prices, it is absolutely safe and extraordinarily profitable to become a partner, large or small, in such an enterprise. Within 43 miles of Atlanta, there is such a mine, at Emerson, Bartow county. A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OF GRAPHITE, 30 acres in extent, with millions of tons of GRAPHITE, visible to the naked eye. The deposit is so enormous that it would take one hundred and fifty years of daily mining to exhaust even half of this de posit. This mine is right here in Georgia, where investors can see it for .themselves, is now the absolute property, without any encumbrances whatever, of some promi nent Atlanta business men, who are preparing to install machinery this month, to mine, manufacture and market this GRAPHITE. THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE IN SOME PARTNERS IN THEIR EN TERPRISE. In this .space will soon appear a full explanation of the chance to become a partner in this Atlanta enterprise, owned by Atlanta people, which is ABSOLUTE LY, SAFE and CERTAIN to become ENORMOUSLY PROFITABLE.

Secretary Logan talked Interestingly on the aubject to the commissioners and showed them the wisdom of auch an Innovation. He told what had been accomplished along the probation line In other places and asked that a new system for dealing with this class of unfortunates be Inaugurated In At lanta. The plan la to treat each cate ap pearing In police rourt Individually, and Instead of punishing a victim In a manner which tends to sink him lower, to give him a lift and get him on hla feet. FI ret offenders will be allowed to go and the probation officer will then keep an eye on them and endeavor to see that their environment la euch as not to again cause them to get In the clutchee of the police for the offense.

Another feature of the system le lo photograph every habitual drunkard coming to police court and than this picture will be sent 'o the barroom* of the city, together with a letter request ing that no drinks oe sold to the man.

That chorea Is responsible for the killing of Stanford White by Harry Thaw Is the opinion of Dr. George U.

Dr. Dowkontt was a close personal friend of the Thaw family, and often called upon Mrs. Thaw for aid In the work In which he has been engaged. In regard to the sanity of Harry Thaw.

IJ.—The taw. which haa no sense of humor, take# alienists seriously. It even aake the poor, pro,' pectlve Juror If he has any objection to them, and If he would live to their tea tlmony the same consideration that he would to any other evidence, and It he says frankly that he does not believe In tl|em he pels excused from performing almighty unpleasant duty. To the Irreverent lay mind, however, the advent of the paid apeclallet Into a case Is the Introduction of th* comedy element Into the play! Nowadays it Is the fashion lo simply festoon experts around fevery sort of a case, and It's a particularly poor murder trial that Is nut hedged In with wise and solemn looking gentlemen, sitting around on both aTdas of th* bar, and drawing big ree* for disproving each other'* asser- tlona. Considering what it costa and the time It consumes, If does look a* If (he alienist* were a sort of a grim and expensive legal Joke. In the trial of Harry Thaw, whoa* defense Is emotional Insanity, still an other alienist Is to testify, and then will come one who will give an un learned opinion that will carry more weight with It than the views of a hundred scientists, and that Is Thaw's mother. She will trace her sou's his tory. as only a mother can. who re members every detail of a child's life, from the days of babyhood up lo the prssent time. Perhaps It was her hopea of hls sal vation Unit she gave her content to the marriage wllh the butterfly chorus rlrl; the hope that ahe would amuse. Interest and aave him from hlmseir. When the doctors disagree, aa the two opposing camps of alienist* will, It Is th* mother who will furnish the convincing proof gf whether Harry Thaw was mentally unbalanced or not on the night when he slew the man who had wronged hls wife.

Feb. 11.—Rapra- sentatlve Adamson, of Georgia, says tha Interview going the rounds Impute to him touching living expense* In Wash- Ington, while creditable to the creative, genius of th, reporter, 1, a most fra* and liberal translation of anything ha ever said on the subject. He was neyag conscious of an lntsrvlaw for publica tion. Tha only possible foundation, la fact, la that one of his reason* for op posing the salary Increase was that. In hls opinion. It would not afford the ex pected relief from financial shortaga. By exerclae o. moral courag* mem bers might regulate the method and prices of living and make candid re- pll -e to outside demands which would curtail tha call for contributions to Ivlo, religious and charitable cause*.
