IF you have noticed" said Mr.
Orr, "at every hearing the commit
tee has held so far, Atlanta's right
to one Of the regional banks has been
conceded in the most impartial way
by gentlemen appearing in behalf OF
other cities.
Logically, you see, the mind re-

Amendment Favors Atlanta.
| One especially interesting fact in

Hearst newspapers learned was that

| regional banks was inserted in the
Senate in order to provide for recog-
milton of that section of the South
of which Atlanta is the center. When

tion by the Senate Democratic eau

The point is right here: Logically

are provided for, New York. Chicago,

Commerce, in addition TO adding a
dozen new members to its list Of &c,
was the occasion for a remarkable
statement by J. H. Reynolds, presi-
dent of the First National Bank of
Rome, in COMMUNICATION of the treat
ment by New York bankers of their
country bank correspondents IN
Georgia.
Mr.. Reynolds said that Norman
Hapgood, the editor, had made the
statement that when the New York
and Eastern bankers wanted some
thing done by Congress, and when
things weren't going to please them
in Washington, they put the screws
on the country banks, telling them
they must stop lending money"
Mr.. Hapgood stated that the coun
try banks were forced to do as they
were told" Mr.. Reynolds went on,
and said that the result was soon
felt in Washington
Reynolds Scores Hapgood.
Now" Mr. Reynolds went on, I
never had heard of anything of the
kind. No New York bank ever has
put the screws on me- or told me
not to lend money, or tried to regulate
me in any way. SO ] decided that
either I was too insignificant to gain
the attention of the big banks or that
MT. f1dpROOQ was mistaken.
Il wrote him a letter about it, and
he lodged the question. Then l called
on him for proofs, feeling that the
New York bankers, who always had
stood to me like the best Of friends
We're being slandered. l didn't get
| any proofs.
Then l wrote letter, which was
published in Atlanta, requesting any
! banker in Georgia or in the South
who had been coerced or threatened.

Then Mr.. Reynolds addressed the
meeting.
Question Brings No Answer.
| Il want to ask you gentlemen if
any New York or Eastern bank ever
requested you to stop lending money!
There was no reply. 81 guess It's
unanimous" said Mr.. Reynolds.
Then Colonel Robert j. Lowry said
| that there were patriots in New
York as well as patriots in Georgia"
I'VE owe the New York bankers a
great debt of gratitude" he added

Joseph A. McCord added another

OUTHEAST ENTITLED TO RESERVE BANK SAYS HOKE SMTT
People Under

Joined in the protest, and as a re-
suit the bill was amended.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
said before leaving for Atlanta to ad
dress the Georgia bankers:
You have already quoted in the
Hearst papers the figures to prove
Atlanta's financial and commercial
pre- eminence in the Southeast.
Geographically, her position is also
ideal. l think 1t is fair proposition
that 300 miles is a sufficient distance
for any man to be compelled to travel
to transact necessary business. That
is an average over night trip. Well,
Just draw a circle around that Sec
ton Of the country which radiates 300
miles from Atlanta, and you will see
the substantial merit of Atlanta's
claims
There is not big concern in the
United States doing business in the
South which hasn't headquarters in
Atlanta. 1t is the South's great rail-
road center"
Bacon Aids Movement.
Senator Augustus o. Bacon, chair
man Of the important Committee on
Foreign Relations, echoed the views
Of Senator Smith
II don't see how Atlanta can be ig-
nored, ne SAID.
Congressman Adamson, chairman
of the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce, said:
Atlanta has pre- eminent claims
upon one of the banks"
Congressman Hardwick, chairman
of the House Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures, said:
The strategic position of Atlanta
recommends her. Beginning with
the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee "a territory which will
compare favorably with any similar
territory, both in banking resources
and industrial development, and in
need of one of these banks-all do
| business with Atlanta. Atlanta is the
Capital Of the Southeast, and the es-
Enlistment of a regional bank there
would least disturb the existing chan
nels of trade"
Congressman Howard said:
Atlanta is the clearing point for
Chattanooga, Memphis Birmingham,
Montgomery. Macon, Augusta, Florida
and other places"

The False God Thrift

The other day wreck of was picked up in
10cent lodging house in large city and taken to
a hospital. Later it was found that he was rich;
that he had nearly $4,000 in bills his person and
$4,000 in banks
A miser? He would have resented that name, but
Of course that was what he was. He had scrimped
and saved so desperately in his younger days that
later OH, when he had enough to make him comfort
able, he couldn't use it.
He had gone crazy worshipping the false god
thrift.
Once we knew a huckster woman who got up at
o'clock in the morning, loaded wagon with vegeta-
bes from her truck farm and herself peddled until
in the afternoon Then she returned to the farm
and worked until dark.
Her property was worth at least 100000 and she
had income five times large as that of the
age preacher or teacher. There need at all
for her to toll excessively. But she had formed
the habit and couldn't stop.
In her fanatical worship of thrift she had gone
money mad.
"Save your pennies is almost a holy maxim.
Almost but not quite.
Isn't better one to "save your capacity for ell
oying saney the joys of life to which humanityis by
nature enttled?'

league is A. E. Sims, standpat whip in the last leg

His interest is to kill off the fish bill because it
would tax his property at the ratio that you,
Mr.. Workngman, and you, Mr.. Merchant, must pay
on your stock.
The league peddes the stuff that they're against
the initiative bills because it costs much to enact
them into law. First they said would cost quar-
ter of million, then million, and now they say two
millions. But don't fall for that talk Sims and his
crowd fought the very bills in the last legisla
ture and killed them off there. If it now costs any
money to enact them into law, Sims and his crowd
are responsible

of the sale of liquor. The only
true reform comes from individual
choice. The true law given by
nature is instinct, and applies it.

corrupted when applied in writ

it diverts instinct or causes 1t to
