THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND REWS.
rf^Tt niMf. FEBnrAur 1*. i*?.
BIG DIVIDENDS—AN ABSOLUTELY
SAFE INVESTMENT
AN INTEREST IN A GRAPHITE MINE
IS BETTER IN EVERY WAY THAN
Bank Stock, a 4 ^Savings Account, or a Real Estate Investment
WHY?
Because it is safer, and will pay three or four times as much interest on the investment.
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 good
prices, it is absolutely safe and extraordinarily profitable to become a partner, with large or small holdings, in such an enterprise. This graphite cannot become value;
less, will not evaporate and can never depreciate in Value. j .,
Within 43 miles of Atlanta there is such a mine, at Emerson, Bartow county. A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OP GRAPHITE. 30 acres in extent, with millions of
tons of the valuable mineral, visible to the naked eye. The deposit is so enormous that it would take one hundred and fifty years of daily working to exhaust even half
of this deposit.
Tins mine is right here in Georgia, where investors can sec it for themselves. It is now the absolute property, without any encumbrances whatever, of some
prominent Atlanta businessmen, who are preparing to install machinery this month, to mine, manufacture and market this GRAPHITE.
WITHIN A MILE of this mine there is another graphite mine, with $100,000 capital, now manufacturing tons and tons of graphite every year, and earning
handsome profits.
THESE ATLANTA OWNERS ARE GOING TO TAKE SOME PARTNERS IN THEIR ENTERPRISE.
This is t.hn npporfmifry nf trme fnr pnoseryniive niv^toi-M. Tiw^ in iiothlng problematical about this mine. It is there. Intending investors can lee it
with their own eyes. • > . / " ~ ;—:
In this space Mondav will appear a full explanation of the chance to become n part owner in this Georgia mine, a property owned bvAtlanta people, which is AB
SOLUTELY SAFE and CERTAIN to become ENORMOUSLY PROFITABLE.
Look at this space Monday. We want to interest you. You will be in'

ISPALMETTO STATE MAN
SLATED TO HEAD CANAL?
Washington. Feb. 14.—Tlte manner In
which the appointment of Jackson
Smith. chief of the deiairtment of la
bor und quarters at Panama, to be a
member of the canal commission, was
announced from the white house yes
terday has given rise to the belief that
the president has singled him out to
he successor of Mr. Stevens, should the
latter deride to resign, ns he recently
suggested he might. Mr. Smith Is
South Carollnnn by birth. •
Changes of policy and plans come
so frequently on the part of the Roose
velt administration in relation to the
Panama canal that friends of Secretary
Taft, of the war department, fear that
tin* oresldent may ultimately place the
entire responsibility for the probable
sucres* or failure of the canal enter
prise on Taft. This makes him una
vailable aa a presidential candidate.
