The most disgraceful sight one
ever sees in this town is a number
of young boys, not yet in their
teens, with cigarettes in their
mouths. A boy behind a cigarette
is a fit subject for the reform school.
There are many striking examp
les hf the value of good roads.
Wherever roads have been perma
nently improved it is found that
there has been a very great incre
ase in value of adjacent property.
To refuse the paper at the post
office is simply a cowardly way of
insulting the editor, and thus to
refuse it when you are indebted to
it only doubles the insult.
An unoccupied man cannot be
happv, nor can one who is improp
erly occupied, We have swarms of
idlers among us, that is men and
boys who pursue no useful occupa
tion, and sponge their way, often
enjoying the luxuries of life, living
upon the hard earnings of others.
In thi" grand and glorious country
no one need be without an honor
able occupation.

ment amendment to the Constitu
tion of Georgia which will be voted

also take action on an amendment
to the pension laws. Following is
a proclnmotion issued by Governor
Smith, giving the act passed by the
last general assembly which will
either be ratified or rejected by the
voters in November.
By His Excellency, Hoke Smith;
Governor of Georgia, Execusive
Department, Atlanta, Aug. 24,
1908.
Whereas, The General Assembly
at its session in 1908, proposed an
amendment to the Constitution of
this State, as follows:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of Georgia, and
it it hereby enacted by authority of
the same. That paragraph 1 sec
tion 1 article 7, of the Constitution
of the State, be and the same is
hereby amended by the adding at
the end of said paragraph the fol
lowing: To make provision for the
payment of pensions toanyex-Gon
federate soldier, now resident of
this rtate, or who unlisted in the
military services of he Confeder
ate states, di ring the civil war, be
tween the states of the United State
and who pergormed actual military
service in the armies of the Confen
crate States, or the organized mili
ta of this state, and was honorably
discharged therefrom, and to wid
ows, now resident of this state, of
ex-Confederate Roldiers who enlist
ed in the military service of tlie
Confederate States, and who per
formed octual military service in
the armies of the (Ton federate states
or in the organized militia of this
state, who died in said military
service, or was henorably clinch arg
ed therefrom; provined that no per

ment, the total value of whose pro

husband.
Now, therefore I, Hoke Smith,

FOSSILE IRON ORES
OF CRACKER STATE
A report on the fossil iron ores
of Georgsa has just been published
by the State Geological Depart
ment. The report is w ritten by
S. W. McCollie, Stote geologist.
This is the lourth teport on the
natural resources of the State,
woich has been issued by the Geo
logical Department during the pre
sent year, 1908, and is an evidence
oi the active interest which the de
partment is taking in the develop
ment of Georgia’s resources.
The fossil iaon ore of Georgia is
a hematite, occurring in the coun
ties of Dade, Walker, Chattooga,
Whitfield and Catoosa. The ore is
distinguished by its containing ab
undant remains of organisms, shells
etc., which existed in the seas dur
ing the geological period in which
the rocks containing the ore was
deposited, and hence the , name
“fossil” iron ore. Those ores have
in the past and will continue to be
one of the most valuable mineral
resources of tlie State. The author
estimates that the aggregate length
or the ore outcrop is 175 miles artd
that the ore tonnage must conse
quently be enormous. The report
gives an excellent account of the
general geology of the ores and
their probable origin, and detailed
description of the developments
which have taken place.
Copies of the book may be had
