A FEW YEARS
In Numbers and in Capital Alike the
Banks of Georgia Reflect the
Great Prosperity of The
Empire State.

Americas bankers and business men
generally are interested in State Treas
urer r. Z. Parks annual report to the
governor which has just been issued
from the press. After dealing with the
fund IN the treasury, the receipts and
disbursements, Treasurer Park calls
attention to the rapid increase in state
banks since he has occupied the office.
When he.became state treasurer in 1900
there were just 40 state banks in exis-
tence and under his supervision as
state bank examiner. January /, 1907,
the number had increased to 4OI with
several applications for charters still
pending. The capital invested in state
banks in 1901 was S9,315, 127.50 which
had increased in 1906 to SIG. 1856, 292. sc.
The majority of the new banks are
in small country towns with the usual
$4,000 capital, though many of the
country banks have increased their
capital stock within recent years. In
addition to the foregoing Georgia has
50 national banks which are notsubiect
to the supervision or inspection of the
state bank examiner These national
banks have paid in capital of IS, O76,-

COMPANY To OPEN
NEW MULGAY MINE
Atkinson Talks Of Birmingham
Iron Company's Plans
ROAD HAS PLENTY MONEY
Says A., B. G A. Will Not Be In Rir-
mineham for at Least Year,
Though Work Is Being
Pushed Forward
ROAD HAS PLENTY MONEY

IL. NJ. Atkinson, president of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad
and director and large stakeholder of
the Birmingham Iron company, and Pres
ton S. Arkwright, who is at the head of
the Atlanta Street railway system and
associated with Mr.. Atkinson in many en-
terprises, spent yesterday in Birming-
ham inspecting the plant of the Birmlng
ham Iron company.
Mr.. Atkinson was in conference all day
with officials of the company, contractors
and others in regard to the improvement
work the company has in progress. Last
night he said
I'VE are not over here on any business
of the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad, but solely in regard to the Bir-
mingham Iron company. We are opening
a large mine on the Mulgay creek, several
miles west of Ensley and also building a
new furnace. The mine will be opened in
about twelve months and will represent
an outlay of about 100000. Its capacity
will be from 5000 to $500 tons per day.
The same interests that own the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad are
largely interested in the Birmingham Iron
company.
There is nothing to say about the rail-
road except that we are pushing its con-
structlon as rapidly as possible, but it
will be twelve to eighteen months before
we are in Birmingham.
1.-The railroad men are having hard
time getting money with which to equip
their roads and to build new tracks, sid
ings and yards. Fortunately we have all
the money we need with which to build
our line and make the other improve
ments that we are carrying on, such as
opening industries along the line. We
made all the arrangements for our finan-
ces long time ago and therefore the
situation is not worrying us, but it is
serious nevertheless and others are feel
ing it heavily"
Mr.. Atkinson and Mr.. Afhwrlght re-
turned to Atlanta last night.

VAN HOOSE ATTENDS
GROCERS' BANQUET
Responds to Toast at Annual Function
of New Orleans Wholesale
Grocers' Association.

]. A. Van Hose, president of the
Southern Wholesale Grocers' association,
returned yesterday from New Orleans,
where he attended the annual banquet
of the New Orleans Wholesale Grocers'
association. Mr.. Van Hoose was the
only person from out of New Orleans
who was present at the banquet.
Regarding the banquet the Picayune
says:
After clearing the tables, President
Mackie opened the speech making with
q few words, introducing President Van
Hoose of the Southern association.
when 1 received Mr.. Thompson s
urgent invitation to attend this banquet, "
said President Van Hoose, Il replied
that | would be here providing the Lord
and the railroad were willing"
He choose the subject For the Good
of the Order" saying that New Orleans
people were so accustomed to hearing
nice things about themselves, all of
which they richly deserved, that he pro-
posed dropping few practical hints and
eschew the usual complimentary refer
ences
1.-The Southern Wholesale Grocers' as
sociation is the strongest commercial or
ganizaton in the world" said Mr.. Van
Hoose. 1T covers fourteen states. 1t
has a membership of 1900 firms, which
employ over 5000 statesmen, and represents
millions of dollars of capital invested"
One of the things urged by Mr.. Van
Hoose was cooperation. No association
can leave this off nowadays and stand
the test of modern competition. lie
spoke of First Vice President Thompson S
resolutions at Norfolk demanding recipro-
cal demurrage of the railroads and how 1t
has since found a responsive chord and
become a great national issue. 1t was
first sounded by a New Orleans man at
the Norfolk convention. That resolution
pledged support to President Roosevelt
in advance to secure better railroad leg
islation.
Mr.. Van Hose related the story Of his
visit to President Roosevelt, bearing the
Norfolk resolution; how he had been
promised an interview of two minutes
with the President, but had remained
twenty-five minutes after the President
learned the nature of his visit and what
association was back of it.
IF you are forced to pay demurrage
to the railroads, then they should be
forced to pay demurrage to you," was
Mr. Van HOSES slogan
Taking up Panama trade and the place
New Orleans should occupy in it, MI.
Van Hose said:
New Orleans deserves a square deal.
Upon the receipt of Vice President
Thompson's letter Immediately wrote to
Washington asking why New Orleans
wholesalers should not be given chance
to compete for this trade and bid for
it,"
Mr. Van Hoose spoke in enthusiastic
terms of the work of Mr.. Thompson, Mr..
Mackie, Mr.. Schwabacher. Mr.. Blum and
others.

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him, so he quit drinking 1t.
He was so busy with his practice, how
ever, that his wife had to write how he
fooled his brother, a clergyman, one day
at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injurng him
and decided to give Postum a trial, and
we have used it now for four years with
continued benefit. In fact, he is now free
from the long train of ills that follow cof-
fee drinking.
ITO show how successful we are in
making Postum properly, l will relate
an incident. At dinner we gave, doctor
suggested that we serve Postum instead
of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother a clergyman, sup
posed 1t was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his second
cup, If you do preach against coffee l
see you haven't forgotten how to make
it,"
This goes to show that well made-fully
boiled-Postum has much the flavor and
richness Of good coffee, although it has
an individuality all its own. A ten days
trial will prove that it has none of the
poisonous effect of ordinary coffee, but
will correct the troubles caused by coffee.
There's a reason Name furnished by
Postum Co.. Ltd, Battle Creek. Mich.

WANT To FURNISH
SUPPLIES FOR CANAL
Wholesale GrocerS of the South
Getting Active
NOW THROUGH NEW YORK
Letter From Canal Commission Secre.
tary to vanHoose Says Southern
Goods Furnished Are Often
Unsatisfactory.
NOW THROUGH NEW YORK

j. A. VanHoose, president-of the South
ern Wholesale Grocers' association. has
received a letter from the secretary of the
isthmian canal commission in regard to
southern firms selling part of the supplies
to be used by the Panama railroad and
by the commission in the construction of
the canal.
The letter is in reply to one sent by
Mr.. VanHoose, and deals particularly
with the New Orleans situation. There
is, however, an effort being made to have
an equitable share of the supplies fur
nlshed by the southern states and it Is
thought this can be best accomplished
by getting the commission to ship part of
the supplies either through New Orleans
or Mobile. At present all canal supplies
must go through New York. Here is the
letter to Mr.. VanIIoose:
March 49, 1907.
Sir: Your letter of I'd inst, addressed
to Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of State
has been referred to the commission for
reply concerning the purchase of commits
sary supplies handled by the Panama rail-
road in the commssary stores which 1t
operates on the isthmus. The isthmian
canal commission does not purchase any
commissary supplies and does not operate
any commissaries, but the Panama rail-
road has been operating commissary
stores on the isthmus for a number Of
years.
Before the government became inter-
ested in the Panama railroad all such
supplies were purchased for delivery at
the dock of the Panama railroad In New
York. During the past year, however
the Panama railroad has been purchasing
a considerable amount of commissary
supplies in New orleans for shipment to
the isthmus via the United Fruit line.
A few months ago bids were obtained
both in New Orleans and in New York
for the estimated requirements of the
Panama railroad in the way of commits
sary supplies for periods ranging from
three to nine months, and orders were
placed with New Orleans houses for the
items on which their bids were low. The
| head of the Panama railroad commits
saries on the isthmus, however has re-
Gently advised that in a number of cases
the materials shipped from New Orleans
were not of satisfactory quality and were
not shipped in the kind of packages called
for.
It is our desire that the New Orleans
dealers in such supplies get as large a
proportion of this commissary business
as the prices offered will justify, and
have no doubt the question of quality
packing. ETC., can be satisfactorily adj
justed.
The suggestion has been made to the
New Orleans houses in question that they
send a representative to the isthmus to
go over the matter fully with the man
ager of the Panama railroad commissaries
as a satisfactory conclusion could not
doubt be reached quicker this way than
in any other. Yours very truly,
JOSEPH BUCKLER BISHOP,
Secretary
