“ THIS FELLOW ’ CAUSES
LIBEL SUIT FOR $5,000
Chemist Everhart Takes Civil Action Against
State Chemist McCandless Because
of Newspaper Card.
Because State Chemist John M. Mc
Candless In a newspaper card referred
to Edgar Everhart, chemist to the etato
geological survey, as "this fellow,” the
latter haa Instituted suit for (5,000 ac
tual and punitive damages against the
state chemist, and thereby another In
teresting chapter haa been added to the
recent newspaper card controversy be
tween these men and the officials of
the Georgia Petroleum Company.
On May 25 there appeared In The
Atlanta Constitution the following card,
which Is given In the Everhart petl
tlon as grounds for damages:
'Edltof Constitution:
"My attention haa been called to an
advertisement In The Georgian of re
cent date by the Oeorgla Petroleum
Company, In which It wa* stated that
a report on the oil of the company had
been secured from me, aa wall as oth
ers, and that we all agreed that their
oil waa crude petroleum of high grade,
and that the geological conditions are
such as to make It certain that oil ex
ists some 1,500 or 1,500 feet below the
surface In great quantities, llila state
ment la wholly unwarranted, and la
based on the following slender state
ment of fact: On January I, 1004, I
wrote on# of the gentlemen^Interested
on receipt of a sample from him as fol
lows: 'Unquestionably there Is a little
oil Aoatlng on the surface of the water,
but there Is not a sufficient quantity
of ths oil to make anything like an
analysis of It.’ I have never heard of It
since, and never even visited the spot.
"In addition, my attention has been
drawn to ths fact that the company. In
their half page 'ad' In your Sunday la-
;S" quot. from Dr. Everhart aa (state
chemist of Georgia' This is not the
- i been ‘ ~
first time It has
necessary to In
form the public that this fellow Is not
state chemist of Georgia.
"Very truly yours,
"JOHN M. McCANDLESS,
“State Chemist.'
The petitioner calla attention to that
part of the state chemist's card In
which It Is stated "this la not the first
time It has been necessary to Inform
the public that this fellow Is not stats
chemist of Georgia" It Is alleged that
by Innuendo the petitioner Is charged
with having falsely represented him
self to be the state chemist. "This fel
low” Is used,. It Is alleged, to reflect
on him and expose him to public con
tempt and ridlcult, and was so under
stood by the readers of ths paper In
which lha card appeared. It Is claimed
that ths letter of the state chemist by
Innuendo charged the petitioner with
being unworthy of consideration, cour
tesy and conAdenec, all of which
charges are alleged to be false.
The petitioner states that he has
never claimed to be Mate chemist, and
that he has no desire to occupy the
ofAce, "If there Is such a position."
.Dr. Everhart doses his petition by
stating that he Is a graduate of Racine
College, Wisconsin, where he obtained
s master’s degree, and later was given
the degree of a doctor of philosophy by
the university at Frieburg, Germany.
He avers that he tvas professor ,,f
chemistry In the University of Texas
from 1114 to 18(4, sines which time he
has resided In Atlanta.
It Is further alleged by the petitioner
that he has a very large acquaintance
through ths country, both of a per
zonal gnd professional nature, and
these people have read the card of the
stats chemist and he has accordingly
been greatly humiliated.
