which has now arrived was needed
to put life into the heretofore para

The cold wave was uniform
throughout the State Of Georgia. In

Judge Broyles announced himself

plea to the negroes present TO put
their shoulders to the wheel and work
among the negroes of Atlanta to
abolish the evils which are holding
down the negro race in the South.

Judge BFoyles. 1T would be impos-

cents a pound in Georgia a season Of
prosperity FOR farmers and merchants
Of this state ifs forecast this fall and
winter Reports from over the State
also indicate that larger crops Of
grains and food supplies have been
grown this year than in past seasons
The movement OF cotton through the
Georgia ports and Interior markets
is well under way and ginneries are
running on fun time.
Atlanta banks have received the
81 900 600 allotted them BY the United
States Treasury to aid in moving the
cotton crop.
The cash is being used to supply
country banks with the currency
needed for cotton marketing
Il IL estimated that when cotton is
moving actively $1,000, 900 always is
ahoat. From the time the buyer goes
INTO the market to purchase cotton
until the cash is back in the banks
is a period OF about three days, on
the average. Enough cotton is bought
and sold in Atlanta territory so that
the three day transactions in an
active market require about 81 10000

fourth day the first days transac-
tons are rounded out, but, on the
other hand. new days business is

birthday recently in the National
Capital
The general, hale and hearty. re-

postal cards, letters and kilograms
from all over the nation, and particu-
larly from his old home, Atlanta.
When the Graves lived in Georgia
the general made his home in College

Of Atlanta sent its congratula tions

The State Board of Education

question meets Friday.
The present schoolbook contracts
expire on January /. but 1t is not

the investigating committee. will do
anything now looking to a fixed ex-
tension Of the book contracts.
The Legislature evidently wishes to
hear from its select committee as to
the status of the schoolbook prob
lem In this state, and it is not likely
that anything will be thrown in the
way OF the Legislature in getting at
the matter It desires light upon.
1t seems probable that the present

Antitrust Clause Of New

St. Louis, April 23-Because of the
antitrust clause in the new Orr law,
ten more big insurance companies
have notified their agents in ST. Louis
to suspend business in this state aft
er April 80 and business and financial
interests are in a panicky condition.
The order already has caused for
eign mercantile and financial concerns
to curtail their business in Missouri,
and in some instances big companies
have sent notice to customers here
that they will no longer extend credit
unless safe insurance is shown by
dealers
The Home Insurance company of
Missouri is the largest of the COM
panies that have sent notice OF with
draWal The Home has received more
than 100000 year in premiums from
Missouri, apd was not expected to
quit. The other companies which will
not accept new business after this
month are the Globe and Rutgers of

New Hampshire Fire Insurance COM
pany, the County Fire Insurance com
pany of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania
of Philadelphia, the Phoenix of Hart

With the rapid dissipation Of the
claim of state officials that the insur-
ance companies were "blufhng," bust
ness men have inaugurated concert
