- r ■ -"I"' THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TUESDAY, JUNE !' EXPECTS TO FIND thinks cobalt is thick in NORTH CAROLINA. GEORGIA BANKERS WILL WORK FOR SUBTREASURY IN ATLANTA ED, STATE PRESIDENT Threatens to Revolutionize Auto Trade by Reducing Weight of Storage Batteries. By Private Lessed Wire. Asheville,, N. C.. June 12.—“If cobalt la aa thick and aa rich In North Caro- Una aa .1 believe, I will reduce the weight of storage batteries In automo biles 50 per cent and the coat of trafttc In cltlea 55 per cent.” This statement was made by Thomas A. Edison, who has arrived In the city after touring North Carolina In search of cobalt beds. He la thoroughly con vinced-that he has located enough of the mineral to startle the electrical world. He aays that he knew that the valuable ore existed' In these moun tains, but he did not expect to find It in such large quantities or so rich In quality. He said: “There l» a streak of cobalt running from a point Just east of Nashville. Tenn., Into this state, and I must add that some of the richest beds I have found have been in North Carolina. "When I can equip an automobile propolled by the cobalt eystem the weight- will be cut In half, thereby giving the new machine an enviable advantage over the ones now In use, and when the price Is reduced so as to place them within the reach of every body, It means that the horse Is a thing of the past. The crowded streets of the cities will be cleared, and that will mean a great thing In aome of our largest towns. "I have forces of men In Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, be sides North Carolina, and they have found It In small quantities in all these state*. In Tennessee there Is more than In any other place, except In the west ern part of this state,' but so far we haye made ho valuable finds In Ken- lucky, Alabama or Georgia. My men will continue prospecting, however, and will not give up the hunt until we. are certain that the ground has been cov ered fully. “I am pleased with the South, and I believe the discovery of .cobalt will mean additional proaperlty to Its peo pie.” Important Business Session* of Georgians Held Tuesday Morning. 0000000000000000000 o OFFICERS ELECTED O BY GEORGIA BODY.

After cigars had been lighted, Joseph A. McCord Intro duced the speakers In a most charm ing and appropriate manner, the pro gram being marred only by the un avoidable absence of four who were ex pected to be present and assist In the postprandial exercise*. The fir«V speak er was H. H. Buckman, a lawyer, who endeavored to Impress upon the bank er* the truth of the saying that "Law yers are needful to keep us out of law.” Mr. Buckman was followed by Joseph S. Davis, of Florida, who did his beat to Impress upon the minds of the Georgia delegates the delight of the fragrance of the orange blossom* and the danger of sudden death from the ferocious alligators which are found In hi* natlvd state. A continual outburst of applause was the reeult of the happy speech of Mr. Davis. "Coin of the Realm." Hon. Charles H. Treat, United State* treasurer, who once before had ad dressed the bankers on a moat practi cal subject, responded ably to the toast, "Coin of the Realm,” referring to "The Almighty Dollar. That Great Object of Universal Devotion Throughout Our Land.” To the distinguished visitor was accorded the privilege of conclud ing the list of toasts, and that he per formed the task right well was evi denced by the applause which marked the conclusion of his remarks, the con clusion of the banquet and ths conclu sion of the Joint convention.
