DWELLINGS FOR
The SOUIHSIDE
half SCORE OF new HOUSES
Will Be Built Near ReeS Park
Soon

A big boost is to be given the rapid
development of the southside section, in
the vicinity of Rees park, in the build
ing of number of coy residences up
on the large vacant area owned. by Mr..
W. P. Warlick and with frontages on
College and Earle streets. The prop
{ ~ consists Of several acres in a very
desirable residence section, but hereto
fore rendered unavailable for lack Of
streets. 1t is understood that Earle
street is to be extended from Barlow
to Reese park, and one or two other
streets opened as well. This will af-
ford many advantageous building sites
and a subdivision of the several acres
into desirable city lots. Owners of the
property, it is stated, will erect sew
eral desirable small dwelling houses
for leasing purposes, and the demand
will be great for them in that residence
section. The southside has been the
field of vast improvement in recent
years, and the few remaining vacant
places are fast building up in pretty
homes.

BANKERS GOING
To CONVENTION
ATLANTA MONDAY
REPRESENT. ANFRICUS BANKS
Visitors Will Be Danqueted
Monday Night

Americas bankers-quite a number
10 them-will take advantage of the
holiday tomorrow to attend the state
convention OF bankers which assem-
bles in Atlanta tomorrow. An at
tendance of more than four hundred OF
these Napoleons of Finance is expected
in the capital city, and royal enter
tainment will follow Monday evening
the business sessions held in the af-
ternoon.
Messrs. Crawford Wheatley and r. e.
McNulty, of the Commercial City bank,
and quite probably Mayor NJ M. Low
rey, representing the Americas Ma
tional, will go to Atlanta this morning
in Mr.. Wheatley's new Packard car.
Mr.. L. G. Council, as a member of the
executive committee of the State Bank
ers association, will also attend, as
may other Representatives of Americas
banks.
The meeting, it is expected, will quite
naturally endorse Atlanta's claims for
one of the twelve regional banks to
be established shortly.
Elaborate plans are being made for
the entertainment of the 400 bankers
of Georgia by the clearing house as
sociation OF Atlanta next Monday at
the Capital City club
Recently the Atlanta Clearing House
association sent out invitations to ma
tional and state bankers in all Georgia
cities to be it's guests at a luncheon for
the purpose of hearing eminent au-
thorities explain the workings of and
the benefit to be derived from the new
currency law.
The principal speaker of the occas-
ion will be Senator Hoke Smith, who
was one of those most instrumental in
the formation and the passage of the
currency measure, and who is thor
oughly conversant with its details.
OF much interest is the statement of
Senator Smith that he believes the new
measure will be equally as beneficial
to state banks as to national banks. II
is thought that on this account many
of the state institutions will avail them
selves Of the opportunity to join the
regional reserve system.

Looping" Aviator Acquitted.

Mllan--The result Of the action In
which allegations were made against
Pegoud, the famous looping, aviator
was made known here recently.
Pegoud, after an exhibition of fly-
ing. sold an %aeroplane to Dial Misrro, an
ltallan aviator. Immediately after this
one OF Pegoud's mechanics, a man
named freissmuth, made a grave all
legation against Pegoud. This was to
the effect hat after selling the ma
chlne Pes.ud so tempered with it as
to render q flight in it, and especially
"a 'loopinarthe-loop" effort, a most
pefilous performance.
An examination of the machine is
said to have revealed that Sometime
mao been done to it, but Pegoud de-
clared that he had only removed a
certain device, which was an invention
Oh ms own, and which in no way i'm
palreu the efficiency of the machine.
ne offered to loop the loop" in the
machlne to show that it was not tam
pered with.
The judge declared that Pegoud,s
action in touching the looping machine
after he had sold 1t to the Italian ayia-
Tor was open to very serious objection.
but he held that Pegoud had no sinister
intentions and acquitted him of the
criminal charge.
Freissmuth was also acquitted on
the ground that his accusation had
proved materially true.
Dal Mistro, the Italian aviator. has
taken him into his own service.

Then the blisters would break through
