Georgia ranks seventh in the pro duction of granite in the United States, according to Dr. S. W. Me- Caliie, state geologist. Granite quarried in Georgia in 1922 was valued at $1,057,823, he stated. The granites occur in inexhaust ible quantities throughout the Piel mont Plateau. And one of the larg est and most interesting barren granite masses in the country is Stone Mountain, located only a few miles northeast of Atlanta. This mountain has long been the seat of a very important granite industry. The stone from these quarries is a light colored muscovite granite pos sessing remarkable strength, and is free from ail chemical defects. The stone has extensive use as building material and also is largely em ployed in street imporvement work. Another granite of almost as much economic importance is the Lithonia granite, which covers a considerable area of DeKalb, Rock dale and Gwinnett counties. These quarries are very exjtettisve and furnish large quantities of stone for street improvement as well as for concrete and general building purposes, it was said. The fire department answered a call at 1 o’clock today near the Third District Agricultural school, where it was discovered a lafge grass plot was burning. The blaze was soon extinguished without damage.
