AN INTEREST IN A GRAPHITE MINE
Is Better Than
Bank Stocks, a 4 Per Cent Savings Account, or Real Estate Investments— ....
, WHY?
Because it is safer, and will pay three or four times as much interest on the in
vestment.
Bank stock may become, valueless, savings accounts often evaporate and
real estate is liable to depreciate in value.
But where nature deposits in the ground millions and millions of tons of
GRAPHITE, in plain sight, for which there is an ever-increasing market at very
profitable prices, it is absolutely safe and extraordinarily profitable to become a
partner, large or small, in such an enterprise.
Within 43 miles of Atlanta, there is such a mine, at Emerson, Bartow county.
A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OF GRAPHITE, 30 acres in extent, with millions of tons
of GRAPHITE, visible to the naked eye. The deposit is so enormous that it would
take one hundred and fifty years of daily mining to exhaust even half of this de
posit.
This mine is right here in Georgia, where investors can see it for .themselves,
is now the absolute property, without any encumbrances whatever, of some promi
nent Atlanta business men, who are preparing to install machinery this month, to
mine, manufacture and market this GRAPHITE.
THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE IN SOME PARTNERS IN THEIR EN
TERPRISE.
In this .space will soon appear a full explanation of the chance to become a
partner in this Atlanta enterprise, owned by Atlanta people, which is ABSOLUTE
LY, SAFE and CERTAIN to become ENORMOUSLY PROFITABLE.

Secretary Logan talked Interestingly
on the aubject to the commissioners
and showed them the wisdom of auch
an Innovation. He told what had been
accomplished along the probation line
In other places and asked that a new
system for dealing with this class of
unfortunates be Inaugurated In At

and Instead of punishing a victim In a
manner which tends to sink him lower,
to give him a lift and get him on hla

to go and the probation officer will then

It la the belief of Secretary Logan
that the Association of Liquor Dealers

By DOROTHY DIX,
New Torlc, Keb. IJ.—The taw. which
haa no sense of humor, take# alienists
seriously. It even aake the poor, pro,'
pectlve Juror If he has any objection to
them, and If he would live to their tea
tlmony the same consideration that he
would to any other evidence, and It he
says frankly that he does not believe In
tl|em he pels excused from performing
almighty unpleasant duty.
To the Irreverent lay mind, however,
the advent of the paid apeclallet Into
a case Is the Introduction of th* comedy
element Into the play! Nowadays it Is
the fashion lo simply festoon experts
around fevery sort of a case, and It's a
particularly poor murder trial that Is
nut hedged In with wise and solemn
looking gentlemen, sitting around on
both aTdas of th* bar, and drawing big
ree* for disproving each other'* asser-
tlona.
Considering what it costa and the
time It consumes, If does look a* If
(he alienist* were a sort of a grim and
expensive legal Joke.
In the trial of Harry Thaw, whoa*
defense Is emotional Insanity, still an
other alienist Is to testify, and then
will come one who will give an un
learned opinion that will carry more
weight with It than the views of a
hundred scientists, and that Is Thaw's
mother. She will trace her sou's his
tory. as only a mother can. who re
members every detail of a child's life,
from the days of babyhood up lo the
prssent time.
Perhaps It was her hopea of hls sal
vation Unit she gave her content to
the marriage wllh the butterfly chorus

Interest and aave him from hlmseir.
When the doctors disagree, aa the
two opposing camps of alienist* will,
It Is th* mother who will furnish the
convincing proof gf whether Harry
Thaw was mentally unbalanced or not
on the night when he slew the man
who had wronged hls wife.
