Cheslatee Mines and Railroad Are
Bougnt by Piedmont Corporation
Dear Mr. Davidson :
1 have your letter under date of
March 6th and would have replied
but for absence from Gainesville
since that date.
You ask for personnel of the
party making tlie trip over our line
purposely to inspect the Chestatee
mines property', and from recollec¬
tion. 1 beg to name same :
R. B. Pegram, V. P. Southern
Ry.; E. II. Shaw, G. T. M. Sou.
Ry. ; Everly M. Davis, New York
City; Lewis Sanders, New York
City; Mr. Zimmer. Pittsburg,Pa.;
Mr. Beatty, New York City ; Chas
D. Matthews, Jr., Sikeston, Mo.;
Mr. Davis, V. P. Lowry National
Bank, Atlanta; Mr. Floyd, V. P.
Atlanta National Bunk ; Mr. Bush,
V. P. Bankers Trus:, New York
City; Mell R. Wilkinson, Atlan¬
ta; Lee Ashcraft, Atlanta; W, D.
Ellis Jr., Atlanta; Geo. L. Pratt,
Atlanta; B.S. Barker, Gainesville.
At Gainesville, lirookton and
Clermont the-following local peo¬
ple joined the party : M. C. Brown
and John II. Ilosch of Gainesville;
D. Turner Quiliian and T. C.
Miller, of Brookton and Clermont.
About ten ladies from Atlanta
and Gainesville accompanied the
party.
The Chestatee Mines property
and railroad have been taken over
by members of the above party
Irom^AtJanta and New York and
re-cliartered under the name of the
Piedmont Corporation ; no bonds
have been or will be issued by this
corporation and it is planned to
build at the mines a sulphuric acid
plant with capacity of 100,000 tons
per annum. It is estimated that it
will require an expenditure of two
million dollars to bring this about.
In addition to this, this company
has one of the finest deposits of
road stone in the State at Chestatee
mines; they plan to build a new
plant for stone crushing with a ca¬
pacity of 1,000 tons per day and to
supply stone to the State Highway
Commission of Georgia at this rate,
At the present time the Highway
Commission is operating this old
plant in crushing stone, but this
will be changed when new' ma¬
chinery is purchased, and the pres¬
ent mill will grind pyrites ore as
formerly.
Now, the w'riter is not in posi¬
tion to give further information at
this time; I cannot say when de¬
velopments will begin ; I only know
that the mines property and the
railroad have been purchased out¬
right by the Piedmont Corporation
of New York, and they' must have
had a purpose in buying same. I
rather think that this company will
wait for further reductions in
wages and material and that actual
work will not begin before July or
August.
When I mention railroad I have
no reference to the Gainesville &
Northwestern R. R.; we will con¬
tinue to operate under the same
charter and with the same officials
and no change of any kind is con¬
templated except that if this new

the line of road will be greatly ben

lines—better road bed, neater de¬

quite anxious to get in the class of
earning something on our invest¬
ment rather than sinking money in
the property from month to month,
as has been our experience; our
people would be surprised to know
just how much ,tbe loss has been to
date. We will say this: If this
new corporation proves u failure
(we believe they have a serious
purpose to accomplish big things),
the future of this property does not
seem encouraging ; our experience
has proven that it takes tonnage to
port a railroad and 1 hat the present
tonnage, including the lumber at
Helen falls several thousand dol¬
lars short of this.
Here’s i.oping great success
spells success for our railroad.

Georgia Swine Growers’
Association Reorganizes
At a call meeting of the associa¬
tion recently held in Atlanta,much
interest and enthusiasm was evi¬
denced by the pure bred swinemen
of the State.
It is realized that livestock will
plitv a more and more important
part in the agricultural program
for iO-ii than it has ever at any
time in me past. The sensational
improvement in regard to both
number and quality of hogs during
the past five years in Georgia has
proven that class of farm animals
;s pre-eminently suited to the South
and the cotton farm.
In order to en murage the feeding
and showing of commercial hogs
intended for slaughter, the associa¬
tion pledged itself to supplement
the prize money offered at the
Southeastern Fair for fat barrows
to tire, extent, of $500.
Representatives of several breeds
pledged themselves to see that car¬
load exhibits of fat bat rows were
made to all standard breeds of Ittigs.
Ti is barrow should show in both
individual and carload lots and vfiU
be a potent factor in demons! rat ing
to' too termers the value of
ed blood in producing meat hogs.
Probably the most important
thing attempted by the association
is the promotion show and sale ot
bred sows that will be held at the
Agricultural College- iii Atncns,
May 10 and it. Five

tion. Speakers of national and in¬
ternational reputation will be on
the program for.the 10th of May.
On the morning of the 11th all the
hogs will be judge i by a competent
breed' 1 i'. Suitable prizes and rib¬
bons will he swarded. In the af¬
ternoon they will be soltl at public
auction in the order in which they
were placed in the morning. Any
farmer in Georgia interested in ac¬
quiring more knowledge about
hogs or in purchasing foundation
breeding stock cannot afford to
miss this meeting, show and sale.

Can’i Enforce It, Therefore
, Repeal It
I These words constitute the slo¬
gan of the liquor party, the enemy
of our great Constitution, of hum¬
anity and of our God. J'hese an¬
archists are organized to the last
letter, ayid backed by millions of
money,,and by a demonized appe¬
tite, aud the most covetous, diabol¬
ical spirit that ever came out of the
pit. There are a great many gull¬
ible people who ary not always
able to see the fallacy of this liquor
propaganda.
There is not a law on the statute
books which is perfectly enforced.
Suppose we repeal the law against
murder, as it is not, and cannot be
literally enforced. What about wip¬
ing out the law against bank ro'J
bery, arson, perjury, and even rape
itsell ; are they not all violated?
Audi lie re are the sacred laws writ¬
ten, by the Divine band, the Ten
Cofnmandments; suppose they be
cut out. of the Bible; they have
r been enforced. The logical
sefjyence would be, destroy all law,
|ifjiot enforced.
'lie most that can be hoped for
■ law r , human or Divine, is that
j||$will have a restraining effect;
fund we all know that the howl that
is being heard in the land is noth¬
ing more than the dying groans of
John Barleycorn.
Some good enforcement tneas
jjres are :
. Let every pastor in thiscoun
be heard from on the elements
- CaesTr” Mjfefayptkiav tiiT?Pfi*^ “Render unto
Caesar the Uii iT^b*-C aes
.ar’s.”
2. Let every church member,
professing the name of Jesus (shall
l say it?) quit acting the hypocrit
in Jbuying and dri iking the vile
stuff. The “tigers” would have to
quit selling if I lie church members
quit drinking and join the fore s
ot righteousness against it. The
church member who buys is a
criminal party to the violation of
the law, and is more to be censured
than the debased moonshiner him¬
self.
3. Let the judges on the bench
live up to their solemn oaths "To
uphold the Constitution ot the
United St ates” instead of licensing
the sale, which many do by the
puny little fines imposed by the
courts. The liquor criminal is too
hard to apprehend, and attended
by too much peril to human life, to
be joked with in the court honse.
If the courts really want the Con¬
stitution upheld, let them give stiff'
sentences, instead of merely fines
hardly amountihg to high license.
4. Let the counties follow in
the wake of Franklin and others,
where every school distri :t has or¬
ganized a Law Enforcement league
to connect up tlie tiger with the
officers of the law. Then if your
sheriff is living a life of perjury in
not upholding the law, secure a
rural police who you know will
function. Some marvelous changes
have been wrought in these organ¬
ized counties.
Let every man-loving citizen an¬
swer this question : Shall we sit
with hands folded and allow this
organized band of outlaws to shake
their fists in defiance of State laws,
the Constitution of the United
States and in the face of God, and
not Unsheatli our sword and offer
oar stillest protest ?
If liquor is made and sold ini
Georgia it is by consent of the
church people,for there ore enough |
of them to put it down.
There is no great monied organi¬
zation to propagate murder, arson,
lying, stealing and other crimes;
bat behind tlie liquor business, I
crime, which there is manifest is perhaps in nearly the most all | j
gigantic organization of the day. j

I Save the Dollar Now I
Has it ever occurred to you that the dollars you save
now will go twice as far in purchasing a home or any other
necessity when normal conditions return? The record high
wages and salaries of today make this the most logical time
to save
Every dollar deposited today in savings will be worth
considerable more in buying power when prices drop, in
addition to drawing interest. Appreciating the import¬
ance of tin’s opportunity, we urge you to add as much as
possible to your savings regularly. -
Our officers appreciate your patronage and want your
connection with this bank to be of distinct benefit to you.
We hope you will feel free to make full use of our facilities.
