Threatens to Revolutionize Auto
Trade by Reducing Weight
of Storage Batteries.
By Private Lessed Wire.
Asheville,, N. C.. June 12.—“If cobalt
la aa thick and aa rich In North Caro-
Una aa .1 believe, I will reduce the
weight of storage batteries In automo
biles 50 per cent and the coat of trafttc
In cltlea 55 per cent.”
This statement was made by Thomas
A. Edison, who has arrived In the city
after touring North Carolina In search
of cobalt beds. He la thoroughly con
vinced-that he has located enough of
the mineral to startle the electrical
world. He aays that he knew that the
valuable ore existed' In these moun
tains, but he did not expect to find It
in such large quantities or so rich In
quality.
He said:
“There l» a streak of cobalt running
from a point Just east of Nashville.
Tenn., Into this state, and I must add
that some of the richest beds I have
found have been in North Carolina.
"When I can equip an automobile
propolled by the cobalt eystem the
weight- will be cut In half, thereby
giving the new machine an enviable
advantage over the ones now In use,
and when the price Is reduced so as to
place them within the reach of every
body, It means that the horse Is a
thing of the past. The crowded streets
of the cities will be cleared, and that
will mean a great thing In aome of our
largest towns.
"I have forces of men In Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, be
sides North Carolina, and they have
found It In small quantities in all these
state*. In Tennessee there Is more than
In any other place, except In the west
ern part of this state,' but so far we
haye made ho valuable finds In Ken-
lucky, Alabama or Georgia. My men
will continue prospecting, however, and
will not give up the hunt until we. are
certain that the ground has been cov
ered fully.
“I am pleased with the South, and I
believe the discovery of .cobalt will
mean additional proaperlty to Its peo
pie.”

"Resolved, That the Georgia bankers.
In convention assembled, recommend
that the county school commissioners
111 their next convention formulate a
scrip that shall be used uniformly, rep

and which banks can discount."

DELIGHTFUL SPEECHES ARE
MADE BY FINANCIERS
Banquet Was Attended by Many
Visitors From Georgia
and Alabama.
With one of the prettiest arranged
and most enjoyable banquet* ever held
In Atlanta, the Joint session of the
Florida and Georgia Bankers' Associa
tions came to a close Monday night at
the New KlmbalL which never looked
prettier In. Its gay decorations In honor
of distinguished visitors.. The banquet
was the sequelrto a.most enjoyable en
tertainment ' program arranged for the
visitors by the Atlanta Clearing House
Association, the afternoon having been
spent In a car ride around the city and
reception to the visiting ladles at the
Piedmont Driving Club.
The great dining hall In which the
banquet of Monday evening was held
was prettily decorated In harmony
with the oth|er room*‘of the building,
and the tables at which the 309 bank
,1* and their guests were seated were
adorned with cut liowers and potted
plants.' ''' • -■'
An elaborate menu was served, and It
was a late hour when Toastmaster Jo
seph A. McCord rapped for order and
Introduced the nftei -dinner speakers,
who for nearly two hours kept the as
sembly In good humor by their bright
and witty allusions to the various
prominent bankers present and to the
banking world In general.
“Ye[ra Walcome All.”
The dainty souvenir menu and toast
cards bore 'at the head the significant
phrase, "Ye're welcome alt, a hundred
thousand welcome's." After cigars had
been lighted, Joseph A. McCord Intro
duced the speakers In a most charm
ing and appropriate manner, the pro
gram being marred only by the un
avoidable absence of four who were ex
pected to be present and assist In the
postprandial exercise*. The fir«V speak
er was H. H. Buckman, a lawyer, who
endeavored to Impress upon the bank
er* the truth of the saying that "Law
yers are needful to keep us out of
law.”
Mr. Buckman was followed by Joseph
S. Davis, of Florida, who did his beat
to Impress upon the minds of the
Georgia delegates the delight of the
fragrance of the orange blossom* and
the danger of sudden death from the
ferocious alligators which are found In
hi* natlvd state. A continual outburst
of applause was the reeult of the happy
speech of Mr. Davis.
"Coin of the Realm."
Hon. Charles H. Treat, United State*
treasurer, who once before had ad
dressed the bankers on a moat practi
cal subject, responded ably to the toast,
"Coin of the Realm,” referring to "The
Almighty Dollar. That Great Object of
Universal Devotion Throughout Our
Land.” To the distinguished visitor
was accorded the privilege of conclud
ing the list of toasts, and that he per
formed the task right well was evi
denced by the applause which marked
the conclusion of his remarks, the con
clusion of the banquet and ths conclu
sion of the Joint convention.
