H£ATNG of warm springs
WATERS EXPLAINED
A federal report made public by
State Geologist Richard W. Smith
said Georgia’s famous Warm Springs
owe their warmth to the natural
heat of the earth three-quarters of
a mile beneath its surface.
This report was written by D. F.
Hewctt, of the United States Geo
logical Survey, and C. W. Crickmay,
former assistant Georgia state geo
logist, after a year and a half of
study of the famous Warm Springs
in Me riwether county and others in
the section.
The study was undertaken at the
suggestion of President Roosevelt,
who has been instrumental in estab
lishing Warm Springs as a leading
center for the treatment of the af
ter effects of poliomyelitis.
The report explained that much
of the rain falling on Pine mountain,
just south of Warm Springs, seeps
into a wide outcropping of the low
est of three layers of quartzite that
form the mountain.
This porous rock stratum carries
the water some 3,800 feet into the
ground, where it is warmed by the
natural heat of the earth. At about
this depth, some undetermined rea
son, the water crosses over to the
upper layer , of quartzie and ascends
to the surface, emerging as warm
springs at a temperature of 88 de
grees.
The cold springs on the other
side of the mountain are formed by
water which is carried down-grade by
the upper layers of quartzite and
never gets deeply enough into the
ground to be warmed.
Previously analyses of the Warm
Springs waters have indicated they
owe their therapeutic value to their
warmth and to exercises conducted
in them under medical supervision,
-and not to any mineral properties or
other physical features.
CEORGIA HAS WOMAN
JUDGE BUT WOMEN
CANNOT BE JURORS
Georgia’s first woman judge took
the oath of office Thursday and was
scheduled to hold court in Wilkinson
county in the near future.
The first woman judge in a state
that does not allow’ women to sit on
juries is Mrs. J. E. Butler of Irwin
ton.
Mrs. Butler was elected ordinary
of Winkinson county without oppo
sition, to fill a vacancy resulting
from the death of her husband three
weeks ago.
Wilkinson county has a special
act making the ordinary of the
county ex-officio judge of the coun
ty court, with jurisdiction to try
misdemeanor eases and civil actions
involving up to SSOO. Therefore,
Mrs. Butler has all the powers of
the judges of recorders and police
courts, and many smaller municipal
courts.

The lonely path looks often dark

Still with my hand in His, I know

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2 1a „
The Tifton Gazette makes the fol
lowing forecast of events that might
not be bad at all: “It is no longer
necessary for farmers to move to
town to enjoy the conveniences of
town life. With motor transporta
tion, rural electrification, farmers
are enjoying many things heretofore
restricted to the towns, and in con
sequence many people are moving
from town to country. May be in
the next ten years, the movement
will be from town to country, in
stead of country to town.”
