STATE TO MAKE
MINERAL SURVEY
IN JACKSON COUNTY
Mr. S. W. McCallie, State Geolog
ist of the Department of Forestry and
Geological Development, is sending
one of his assistants, Mr. Richard W.
Smith, to Jackson county the first
of next week to search for deposits
of mica (isir.:;'r.ss), feldspar, and
primary kaolin (pure white clay).
Mr. Smith is examining deposits of
these minerals all over Georgia. The
results will be published in a book
which will have a wide distribution
to libraries and colleges throughout
the country and to people interested
in mining such minerals. Property
owners having out crops of these
minerals on their place may have
them examined free of charge by
notifying The Herald Office at once.
Mr. Smith states that mica in
sheets that can be trimmed to 1H
by 2 inches, or larger, is used as an
insulator in the manufacture of
electrical equipment and as windows
in stove doors. The feldspar and
kaolin, minerals that hre sometimes
found in the same veins as the mica,
are used in the manufacure of china
and other white ware, enamels, and
glass. To be of value, however, they
must be in large quantities, close to $
railroad.
The Department of Forestry and
Geological Development regrets that
Mr. Smith will not have time on this
visit to examine other minerals than
these three.

SUIT IS FILED FOR BACK
SALARY
Atlanta, Ga.—Legal strategy mmm
employed Saturday to settle the* high
way controversy when B. P l . Mc-
Whorter, chief highway engnwsrr,
filed suit at Athens to compel pat*-'
ment of his salary for the morrtft* of
April and May.
Payment is demanded of the high
way board from funds carried w
from the first quarterly bodfcifst.
Highway lawyers filed the suit. Rinac
ing is to be June 20.
The same lawyers will answer fr
the highway board that McWhorterlß
salary is due and that money is aradl
able to pay it from $7,000 unalfoeiafe
ed funds remaining from the
quarter’s budget. McWhorter is <fee
in salary $1,042.46.
The suit involves also the rigfrf pf
the Governor to dictate highway de
partment personnel, the real point at
issue in the controversy, highway at
torneys believe.
Governor Talmadge struck fb’.Tt
the budget for the second quarter tfre
names of McWhorter and four *-
sistants, S. B. Slack. E. N. Sejnntwrr,
H. J. Friedman and L. B. Ackermaan,
Jr., charging t&em incompetents.
approved the budget with tfr®e
names off.
The strategy of Saturday’* mo*-**,
launched by the highway departmwnt.
lies in the hope that the court, in de
ciding the issue of the enginewr’B
salary, will find law to substantnate
its contention that the Governor- Itm
no right to dictate department: per
sonnel.
That would leave the apprwwd
budget available, subject to warrowtß
drawn by the highway department
and signed by the Governor, sinew if
the engineers are paid from atJbn*r
funds they will be due nothing;
this budget from which their name*
were struck.
The highway strategy did not no
veal any means to force the Govens-or
to sign the warrants, so that the- $2.-
000,000 involved may remain mtfcst,
since the Governor is not subject to
mandamus.
4,000-acre forest fire::
A forest fire starting the first. of
last week burned until the midtffe- dt
this week on jands of Miss, /tuiae
Lester, Mrs. W. J. Knox and other*
three to four miles south of town.
It is estimated that in all more than
four thousand acres of woodland
were burned over. Efforts were msds
to Stop the fire but the high wind*
that prevailed while it was burning
made them unsuccessful and tfcn
flames raged until they burned them
selves out. A special lamenCaWn
feature of this fire is that most of the
lands were in a game reserve that the
Oglethorpe County Game Preset*®
Club has been fostering and in which
the amount of birds, foxes and other
game was being protected and
fast increasing. This being nestznc
time of the birds doubtless thousand*
of eggs and young birds were de
stroyed.—Oglethorpe Echo.
