WONDERFUL BARTOW COUNTY. WHERE MAGNET AND POLE MEET By BELL BAYLESS If your finger were a mag net poised above a map of Georgia, it would instantly be attracted to the north western corner, to Bartow county, the most highly min eralized county in the south east. This is on a line with the great Cartersville fault, where the earliest and latest earth formations come to gether, and here are found quantities of brown and gray iron ore- The first iron foundry in Georgia was established in Bartow county in 1840. A few years later Major Mark A. Cooper, a man well known for his wealth, wisdom and' foresight, started larger fur naces on the Etowah river, near Cartersville. The Con federate government ad vanced half a million dollars to enlarge this plant and have it manufacture their cannon, but the Northern ar my destroyed the works, and there remain only the ruined stacks and walls of a once valuable industry. The prop erty now belongs to the Geor gia Railway and Power Com pany, and is capable of being developed-to furnish suffi cient electric power for this section. In 1895 Georgia headed the lists of manganese pro ducing states, the Dobbins mine being the first; and there are perhaps million.’, of tons still undeveloped. Here tofore, it was imported from Brazil, India, Cuba, Russia, Great Britain, Belgium, Ja pan and the East Indies. This mineral is essential in the manufacture of steel and ' electric batteries. Seventy-five per cent of the world’s ochre comes from Bartow county, where 100,- 000 torts are in sight. Part of what is now mined is made into paint, and the rest ship ped to Scotland nd France, where it is manufactured into linoleum and returned 808 KNIGHT IS ELECTED HEAD LEGION POST Able Corps Officers and Members Will Co-Op erate With Him in Making Things Hum.

Bauxite was first discov ered in the United States in an adjoining county, and the best grade is found in this lo cality. Th e Bartow and Floyd county districts in clude the majority of ore bodies in well defined groups Formerly it was imported from France. Since the my riad uses to which aluminum is now put are realized, the value of bauxite is apparent. The General Abrasive Com pany, of Niagara Falls, is now operating a mine near Halls, and there are several other mines in the county, all yielding high-grade ore. Pyrite, copper, gold, feld spar, sericite, graphite, kao lin, all ar e found here. One of the very few bar ytes mines in the country is within a short distance of Cartersville. It belongs to the Bertha Mineral Company, and the output is shipped to Pennsylvania. Other large mines include those owned by the Thompson-Weinman Company, Sloan, Peebles & Cos., and others. Among the many uses for barytes are as a filler tor paint and in rubber manu facturing. Large deposits of green slate, having a high potash content, underlie a wide sec tion of the county. The b lex- A-Tile Company has invested a million dollars near Fair mount, and is using this siate in its plant, but there ar e un limited possibilities for its development, both for root ing purpose anc l or potash, with cement as a by-product, at other points where ship ping are ideal. The first hydraulic cement company south of Louisville, Ky, was organized in 1840, and operated continuously until about five years ago, its quarries being two miles north of Kingston.
