The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. September 23, 1890
Thomasville, Ga., September 17 -- Another large phosphate bed has been 
discovered in this county.  This one is on Dr. Smith's plantation, seven miles 
from Thomasville, and is in large quantities.  Professor Pratt, who first 
brought into notice the famous phosphate fields of Carolina, says the specimens 
examined show 62 per cent of phosphate.  The craze has struck this section in 
earnest, and nearly every person you meet has rocks in his pocket.
