R. (!. HARTSFIELD,
Sole Commissioner.
Bainbridge has many important in
dustries in an around her but the“one
perhaps of greatest world importance
is the Attapulgus Clay Company situ
ated near Atttapulgus, and twelve
miles South of Bainbridge.
It was in January, 1919 the officals
of the Atlantic Refining Company
decided that the Fullers Earth Plant
that they been operating for twenty
years in South Florida was not suf
ficient capacity for their future de
mands, and in order to remedy condi
tions they spent a representive out
to locate another deposit, purchase
land and arrange for the building of
another plant.
After several months of prospecting
it was decided to locate near Attapul
gus, Ga., where a very good deposit
was located. The company purchased
the holdings of the Lester Clay Com
pany (whose plant had been destroyed
by fire the year previous) also ether
lands in the vicinity and in the later j
part of the year 1919, started to build
one of the most up-to-date and eom-
plete Fullers Earth Plants in exist
ence.
This was quite an undertaking as
the site that was decided upon for
the buildings was covered with heavy
timber and all had to be cleared.
Also the land had to be cleared and
houses built to house the men and
from this a modern village sprung up
out of the woods. The houses in this
village have all the conveniences that
they would have in a city, also the
streets arc nicely lighted at night.
During the constiuction period a
great many difficulties were encount-
cd, us it was hard to obtain prompt
deliveries of material us the larger
per cent of the machinery had to be
shipped from Northern markets., how
ever on September 20th, 1920, the first
shipment went forward and the plant

has been running continuously every
since.
In order that the clay plants might
have close attention it was decided by
the officials that, effective February
1st, 1922, the Fullers Earth interests
of the Atlantic Refining Company and
the combined would he incorporated
under the name of the Attapulgus
Clay Company, and the combined
plants of Georgia and Florida com
prise one of of the largest industries
of its kind in the country.
The operations consist of the fol
lowing: Removing the overburden
which lies directly over the clay
strata. This usually runs from three
to thirty feet in thickness and is re
moved by steam shovel and hydraulic
machinery.
The clay is then mined with steam
shovels, hauled to the clay storage
shed at the plant in dump cars drawn
by narrow gauge locomotives. The
clay is then conveyed to a crusher in
which it is broken into small pieces
and from there into large rotary dry
ers. These dryers are fired by fuel oil.
After the clay is thoroughly dried in
passing through the dryers it is then
ready to grind and goes through the
same process that wheat would in the
making of flour., that is, ground by
roller mills and bolted through vilk
bolting cloth of different size mesh,
which accounts for the different
grades made. The earth is then ready
to ship and is then bagged and shipped
to the plant’s, different customers
which compose of oil refiners all over
the country. The eafth is used by the
refineries as a filter in the refining
of petroleum products. Bainbridge
offers trunkline service -East, North,
West and South and steamboat ser
vice to the Gulf of Mexico for the
distribution of the earth. Mr. C. M.
Shaeffer is Vice President and Gen
eral Manager, who with his wife and
children, will move into Bainbridge in
the fall to put the children in school.
Attapulgus, where the mines are lo
co ted, is an old, aristocratic small
town. It comes from good authority,
that the first Mrs. Woodrow Wilsos’s
father, a Presbyteian minister, had a
church in Attapulgus when she was
a young girl. Beautiful old cedars and
magnolias Characteristic of the early
settlers are all around Attapulgus and
were left f, r shade in the little village
when the ground was being cleared for
homes for employees of the Attapul
gus Clay Company.
SECRETARY HOOVER TELLS OF
EXTENT OF RELIEF
WORK.
The Careful
Crossing Campaign
The Same Everywhere.
The editor of Paisa Akhbar, a na
tive newspaper of Lahore. India, says,
“I have used Chamberlain’s Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy many times among
my children and servants, for colic
and diarrhoea and always found it
effective.”
Washington, July 15.—Famine and
plague in Russia are under control
President Harding has informed today
by Secretary Hoover in a preliminary
report on the use of United States
Grain Corporation funds for relief
work. The situation, Mr. Hoover
added, promises to be much better af
ter the harvest although it is too early
to determine whether American relief
work will be extended.
‘‘I believe,” Mr. Hoover said, “this
effort has stemmed one of the great
est catastrophes that has followed the
war. There is a deep feeling of grat
itude in the minds of the Russian peo
ple and the results will, I am sure,
be of lasting satisfaction to the
American people. Without it certainly
many millions of people would have
died of starvation, and millions would
have perished from the diyorded and
the disease that would have followed.”
Mr. Hoover reported that to July
1,140 ship loads totaling 778,870 tons
of food and medical supplies were pro
vided for Russian relief, of which
428,449 tons were purchased through
the grain corporation and 360,430 tons
through the American relief adminis
tration. The total funds mobilized by
the relief administration for Russian
supplies, including the 19,300,000 au
thorized by Congress from grain cor
poration, accounts, was $59,498,000.
Force of Relief Workers.
American relief personnel at pres-
QOt, the secretary reported, comprises
about 200 Americans with about 80,000
Russians* under their direction, con
ducting 16,700 kitchens and distribut
ing stations and feeding about 3,250*-
000 children and 5,300,000 adults. In
addition to the American effort about
400,000 Russians are being supported
by the effort of other nations of Eu
rope which have contributed about
$5,000,000 and shipped about 45,000
tons of supplies.
Mr. Hoover said it was- too early to
give a naccurate opinion of the re
sults of the Russian harvest in Au
gust, but although the Soviet au
thorities have announced that there
will be ample food for the next year
it is likely there will be sporadic
hardship in some localities due to
breakdown of distribution.
“The possible extension of relief
work,” he said, ‘‘requires more con
sideration before decision is reached
sources obtained by the Soviet au
thorities from the confiscation of
church treasurers specifically for re
lief purposes, places them in a posi
tion to care for a large part of the
destitute children. The American re
lief administration would, of course,
endeavor to co-operate in a solution
of the problem of children and oth
ers.”

ARTICLES
Despite the wi'iz publicity that has
already been given the subject of
Grade Crossing Accidents since Junj
1st, the date or. which this campaign
was inaugurated, quite a number of
fatalities have occurred. In one case
alone six human live3 were snuffed
out, simply because the driver failed
to Stop, Look and Listen before at
tempting to cross the tracks.
A motor vehicle in the hand* of a
careful driver is an agency for safety.
It can be driven up close to the rail
way track and stopped in perfect
safety—differing from horse-drawn
vehicles in this respect. But if an
i ip proper person is at the wheel, driv
ing a car is more dangerous than
making dynamite.
Recently an automobile driver tried
to beat a railroad train to a crossing.
The result was a wrecked train, a
smashed up automobile and a number
of people killed. And until, safety
becomes the uppermost thought in
the minds of persons driving cars, no
improvement in the situation can be
expected.
Nobody can read the daily accounts
of fatal accidents at crossings, with
out being impressed with the fact
that in a very - large majority of cases,
the means of prevention lies in reach
of the person at the starring wheel.
