GEORGIA Banks in Good shape.

georgia Banks IN GCoC SHdPS.
A Washington dispatch says: AL
though deeply interested to read in
The Constitution the comments Of the
Georgia bankers upon the ability OF
their banks to meet the increased de-
mands of the crop-moving seasin this
year, Comptroller Of the Currency
Ridgely refused to be quoted regard
ing his recent statement showing that
Georgia banks were not as well pre-
pared for this period this year, as they
were in 1903. Nh. Ridgely was pleased
to note the tone of confidence in the
comment Of the Georgia bankers, and
il is pointed out in Washington that
his statement was based on the re
plies of hank examiners to general
query sent out by the comptroller re
garding the condition of the banks
this year, as compared with that OF
the period in 1908. The bank examin-
er of the district which comprises the
states of Alabama, Georgia and Flor
ida reported that these three states
were not quite as we'll equipped this
wear as they were last, considering the
increase of the crop. The officials re-
alize readily that this is but the opln-
ion of one man and must be taken
for what it is worth.

Tax Digest Gains.

The tax digest gains for the year
1904 in the state of Georgia aggre-
gate S24,C44,011, the final and exact
compilation having been perfected a
day or two ago by Captain w. H. Har-
riSon, chief clerk in the office OF
Comptroller General Wright.
This gives the present year, as far
as the digests are concerned, the third
largest increase in the past twenty
five years.
While it has been approximately
known what the total increase would
be, the exact figures had not been
compiled on account of an error in
the Epson county digest and the mis-
placing Of the Union county digest by
the tax receiver of that county.

HUMPTY

The greatest theatrical effort Kiaw g.
Erlanger have ever made will be presented
to the New Amsterdam Theatre in New
York, Monday evening, November 14th,
when the premiere of their American
version of the last London Drury Lane
spectacle, "Hnmpty Dumpty )" will take
place They will, as in past seasons, util-
ize only the scenery, costumes and me.
chanical effects from Drury Lane. John
j. McSaly has written an entirely new
book and Cole and johnson a new score.
This will be the largest theatrical pro-
duction ever staged-i n America. Over
500 people will be employed in its presen-
tation. Fully 600 will appear as princi-
pals, chorus, ballet and acrobats and 2GC
men will be required to handle the seem
ic and mechanical effects and operate
the marvelously intricate trick scenery.
William G. Schrode, a you ng patomimii
comedian, a pupil of the Hanlons, will be
tho Humpty Dumpty in this production,
which will also present another clown
in James A. Rice, as "Humpty Dump
ty's Brother" The harlequin, pantaloon
and columbine will be played by Howard
Provost, j. H. Powers and Nora Sarony.
The management of the Drury Lane
gives the cost of the scenery and costumes
for this production as s155. 600. =. Klaw &
Erlanger will spend many thousans
more in adapting 1t to the American
stage and in providing new mechanical
effects and complicated trick scenery
Quite a contrast between this "Humpty
Dumpty end that of Gigs, when an out
lay of 5000, on a production was
thought Quite a contrast,
too, in the rumber of people employed.
There will be eighty-four men under
the stage working traps in this presenta-
tion, more han were employed in every
capacity in the Fox or Denler "Humpty
Dumpty'' productions.
Leading roles other than those above
mentioned will be played by Frank
Moulan, George Schiller, John Meveigh,
Arthur Conquest, Lillian Coleman, Nellie
DAILY, Maude Lillian Berri, Frederick
Raymond, David Abrahams and Fred
Ostrado. A new Grigolatis flying ballet
will introduce entirely original aerial
effects. During the past month the
stages Of five New York theatres have
been used in rehearsals of this wonder
