Senator Smith to Speak.
The assembly will hear not only At
lanta's side of the contest for one OF
the big banks; the Georgia bankers
already are in favor of that, and the
big meeting will me- ily serve to crys-

expected to be the most authoritative
explanation of its scope and meaning
that has yet been made in the South

study of the law, and his address viii
be one of consuming interest and vast
Importance to the Georgia bankers.
Senator Bacon also is expected to
speakNat the dinner, and probably two
of Georgia's representatives in Con-
gress.
