Georgia Kindling The
Fires of The Country
By F. II. ABBOTT, Secretary,
Georgia Aassociation
Furnishing kindling to start mil
lions of fires in kitchen stoves and
fireplaces and furnaces throughout the
United States, is one of the latest in
dustries to be developed in Georgia
and just another evidence of the ver
satility of Georgia brains and Georgia
courage that are being turned to the
task of convei’ting an infinitnde of lat
ent natural resources of the great
Empire State of the South into utili
ties adapted to nation-wide use.
This new Georgia kindling indus
try is destined to convert millions of
yellow pine, trunks and fat wood
heretofore useless l.ghtwood yellow
stumps into sources of profits to own
ers of cutover land, while at the same I
time substituting a convenient, com
and
and there seems a probability
^ this . remarkable . , . enterprise , will ... put ,
profits _ into . a waste . wood , m . „ South
Georgia and hasten the conversion
o, a great cut-over land empire in
j J South Georgia into profitable agri
cultural land * .

JThis new fire starter, product of a
South Georgia factory, can be de
livered more cheaply than the old
fashioned bundle of kindling and it
goes to the customer in a compact
little pasteboard package—one littld
package of the Dixie kindling being
less than half the size of a brick and
each diminutive brickette having the
‘‘makings” f or starting of at least
three fires. j
This new fire kindling is being
manufactured in a plant about a year
old at Douglas, Ga., and it has already
in the one year gained such popula- f

BCw the Kindling Is Made
The new Georgia kindling is manu
factured under the name of Dixie
Fire Kindling and is a name patent
process which takes the waste fl'om a
wood distillation plant that grinds
the stumps and lightwood into par
ticles smaller than matches and to
which is added resinous products
from the same process of distillation,
hits of waste and the resinous mix
ture being compressed into the
ling brickettes in a huge moulding
machine designed especially for the
purpose. The mi. present . plant , . utilizes w-t
18 tons of wood a day, which returns
to the landowners about S5.00 per ton
and at the same time is manufactured
by a process so economical that the
ultimate consumer can start his fire
for approximately 2c.
Sold Throughout Civilized World
The product of this unique kindling
factory is packed in cartons of eight
dozen
boxes in a case, and three hundred
cases daily, or about four cars per
week, of Dixie Fire Kindling are
shipped to the trade in all parts of
the United States.
Fifty people are engaged in this
plant at the present time and, as stat
ed, orders have accumulated which
warrent doubling the capacity and the
employees of the plant.
This Georgia factury is owned by
John R. Slater, president of the Geor
gia association; J. C. Brewer, T. S.
Price, F. S. Stubbs, Sydney Stubbs
and J. L. Cochran, of Douglas; J. C.
Poi’ter, ctf Rome, and Dr. J. C. Smith,
of Valdosta, who is president and
manager.
The originator of the process, by
which waste wood particles are com
bined with resin and pine oil so as to
make a safe but highly inflammable
substance, is C. Y. Garrett, city engi
neer of Fountain Inn, S. C. T. D.

Three hundred and seventy new
cases of syphilis among boys and girls
under fifteen years of age were re
ported in one of our states during
1925, and over three hundred and
thirty-eight cases, old and new, among
children were treated in free clinics.
Practically all of these infections were
congenital cases, and might have been
prevented if the mothers had beer,
examined for syphilis during their
pregnancy and if infected, had been
given proper treament.
It is a scientific fact that congeni
tal syphilis is preventable depending
entirely upon how early in pregnancy
the mother is treated and the amount
- of treatment administered. The pub
! lie should avraken to this fact, and
realize that every new case among
children is a reflection upon soclety
as a whole.

Charta. the Declaration of Independ
ence, the Abolition of Slavery, is an
other step toward a higher civiliza

tation from her home to Atlanta and j
back to her home. The special train j
will consist of Pullman cars, dining j
cars and an observation car, and th:? I
young ladies composing the party will j
have no expense on the train or on the ]
trip, except such personal expendi-;
tures as they wish to make.
The party will be chaperoned by |
prominent women from the several
Southern States and by officials of
the Stone Mountain Meomrial Asso
ciation, including Hollins N. Randolph
president, and Mrs. Randolph. At the
principal cities on the tour they wi 1
be lavishly entertained by patriotic,
civic and social organizations. The
schedule will be arranged to give am
pie time for stop-overs to visit all
points of interest in every principal
city on the tour. Taking all in all,
this trip is probably the most attrac
tive prize ever offered the young
ladies of the South as a reward for
service in a patriotic enterprise.
