In it, Mr. Edmondston pleads with the Intelligencer, letting them know that while they are the newspaper's main source of paper, they can only send them so much due to war constraints.

In the first instance, at the commencement of the war, I was disposed to aid all in my power and encouraged two of the hands to volunteer in Confederate service.

Edmondston stated: "You know Paper makers are not to be had South, and are not like Shoe-Makers, and many other callings which give exemptions to so many thousands, and cannot be learned after the Conscript officer takes after a fellow."

The Atlanta Constitution printed a picture of the Paper Mill ruins on the banks of the Soap creek [sic] in May 1932.

The caption read "GREAT WALLS BUILT BY SLAVE LABOR… Before the Civil War this building housed a large paper mill."

The language of this caption implies that the paper mill never recovered from the burning by Gerrard's men, when in fact it had.

In 1922, a hydroelectric dam and a power plant were built on the west side of the creek 900 yards (~820m) upstream from where Paper Mill Road crosses.

When the Georgia Historical Commission (GHC) submitted its report in March 1973, they detailed the purpose of every remaining structure.

The idea that the Confederate States of America used to print money on the banks of the Sope Creek had to have developed somewhere.

The tee is on high ground and Soap Creek, a fast moving muddy stream, runs in front of the green.

The mill made newsprint by grinding loblolly and short-leaf pine mixed with imported pulp.

The story of the mint developed over time from the fact that the mill manufactured and shipped paper that Confederate money was printed on.
