OIL FOUND IN BARROW
BORING MAY BEGIN
AT AN EARLY DATE
OIL EXPERT , HERE THIS WEEK, STATED TO A TIMES
REPORTER THAT THE OUTLOOK FOR OIL FINE AND
THE PROSPECTS JUSTIFIES BORING A WELL
ON THESE PROPERTIES
Oil Would Mean Much to This Sec
tion of Georgia and Make Bar
row and Gwinnett the Great Oil
Center of the South.
A Times reporter had an inter
esting interview with Mr. Theo
dore Brough, oil expert, who has
been for 21 years with one of the
very largest oil companies in the
United Stales with headquarters
at I)enver. ('olorado.
Mr. Brough is the field man for
these big operators who have wells
in (‘olorado. Montana, Indiana
and Texas and accidentally inves
tiated ihe oil lands ot "Messrs (i. X.
Bagwell, S. B. I’irkle, of this city,
T. Flanigan. J. M. Ethridge, and
J. K. Kilgore, of Auburn, while on
a short visit to his daughter in
Athens.
The lands of the above gentle
men lie in Barrow and Gwinnett
.counties a few miles from Winder.
Mr. Brough will leave in a fev/i
days for Montana where his com-]
.pany is opening new fields and
made a close test and investiation
of the above property while here
without any charge for his servi
ces —for 1 1 is own satisfaction.
He said from his several days
of close investigation he had nev
er in all his long experience of 21
years in this special line of work
found such favorable indications
of oil and that he was willing to
stake Ins reputation on finding oil
in abundance.
He was so fully convinced of the
correctness of his conclusions, he
advised that ho ring be begun as
soon as practicable, leeling assur
ed there would be a great flow
from the well.
lie is very much elated and en
thused over the almost positive
proof of this new field for opera
tions becoming one of tbe great
oil sections of the country, and
that if it proves true we " ill have
untold wealth and an influx of
populatin running into the thou
sands.
Mr. Hrough talks with earnest
ness and sincerety and with an in
telligence and knowledge that im
presses one with the fact he knows
all about oil deposits and how to
locate them.

Large Audience
Hears the Edison
Artists Tuesday
Probably a number of people
v.dio attended the re.it-d given on
Tuesday night of this week by
Miss Gladys b’icc and Miss Ada
line Packard at the High School
Audiloiium were at. liist puzzled
and disappointed when they dis
covered a phonograph cabinet oc
cupying the center of the stage.
inc were hardlv runs aired
v, 'cu M ; s Packard appeal ed on
the stage and coinuieic-cfl to talk
about “ji E-UREA HONS.” It Ji
nady became apparent that the
phonograph was at least to re
ceive assistance from the singer,
but even then the mental outlook
was not exactly bright.
Miss Packard explained that the
purpose of the recital was to illus
trate that Thomas A. Edison, al
ter years of work, had achieved
his ideal of perfecting a musical
instrument which would actually
HE CREATE music so that the re
location would lie indistingfiisha
ble from the original.
This was a broad claim nut it
was established before the evening
was over for the artists actually
stood beside the New Edison Pho
nograph and performed in unison
with Mr. Edison’s re-creation—
so-called—of their performance.
This would have proved little, as
the artists might easily have over
balanced the tone of the instru
ment-swallowed it up —so to
speak, but they did more—or, to
he accurate, less. They paused
from time to time, apparently at
random and permitted their re-cre
ated performances to he heard
alone. This gave an opportunity
to compare one with the other, and
it is no more than just to stale
that there was no discernible dif
ference in tone quality.
There must have been a slight
difference in volume when the ar
tists stopped singing or playing
hut it was not noticeable for the
tone which came from the cabinet
was round and luscious with all of

the vibrant, pulsating quality of
that which came directly from
Miss Rice’s throat and the instru
ment of Miss Packard. It was on
ly by watching the singer’s lips or
the violinist’s bow that one could
be sure when they sang or played
and when they did not.
This proof was convincing. If
it were not. another proof was of
fered. After Miss Rice had com
menced to sing one number, the
lights were turned out ostensi
bly so that the audience could not
watch the singer’s lips.
It did not seem difficult to de
termine in the dark when the sing
er sang and when she did not. The
writer was pretty sure about it
until tlie lights were turned on
again and it was discovered that
Miss Rice was not on the stage at
all and that the New Edison alone
had been heard.
