IS CONFIDENT
SHE WILL GET BANK

Atlanta, Feb 16.-Atlantians who
presented the claims of this city for a
regional bank, and Atlantians who
heard the claims presented, are con-
fident today that the decision of the
organization committee will be in
favor of Atlanta, on a straight-away
BASIS of cold facts and figures.
One of the strongest arguments Of
fered for Atlanta was the last one
made by Senator Hoke Smith. Wit
his comprehensive knowledge of agrl-
cultural affairs throughout Georgia
and surrounding sections, and their
relation to the economic growth Of
the South, he was able to show Goa
clusively that Atlanta was the natural
and not the artificial center Of indus
trial activity in the southeast.
The claims of other cities, Birming-
ham, and Savannah in particular that
Atlanta was a borrower and not a
lender, were disposed of by the pre-
sentation Of facts showing that while
Atlanta unquestionably has stron9
borrouring nawprS shn has also spVpr-
al 100000 banks of her own al
ready.
! The three members Of the organiza
ton committee returned to Washing
ton, of course without expressing an,
opinion whatever on the outcome. AL
the data and records they have IL
hand will be gone over fully befor'
their decision is reached.

Chief SAM" PROMISES
NEGROES MODERN UTOPIA

Atlanta, Feb. 16.-Lured by tales of
land where gold is fuond, and
where cheese and -four and other good
things to eat may be plucked from
trees and bushes, hundreds of ne
groes of the middle east, and a few
already from Georgia, have swarmed
to the standard of Chief Sam Of the
Tribe of Akib, and intend to go back
with him to the stored Gold Coast of
Africa-which in his queer lingo he
calls the land of the Cheese tree AMI
Butter Bush.
Sam is planning to take more than
LOCO men, women and children with
him on special ship next month.
and declares that when he has them
successfully colonized he will come
back to Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas
and other states for thousands more.
Everywhere / mean to spread the
new gospel" he is quoted as saying,
which means the shipment of all
negroes back to Africa, back to their
own native land where they came
from, and the land where they will
make their own laws and be TRULY
free"
White people except in a few in
stances do not realize the tragedy Of
the negro question in the United
States" he is quoted as saying fur
Their. THE negroes ought to go back
to Africa, for their own sake and for
the sake of this country. Farms, gold,
happiness, equality with all in the
communities where they live await
them there"
White people here are divided oa
the question of whether it would be an
economic good or not for the negroes
all to leave this country, while lead
ers of the negro race in many instances
are inclined to be skeptical about
Chief Sam and his project, saying that
his ideas are too vague.

CORSETS LEAD OFTEN
TO DIVORCE, SAYS
WOMAN DOCTOR

London, Feb. 16-Mr. Maude :,
Dunn, who has been lecturing in Loh-
don on hygiene, states that most OF
the ills of women are due to badly
fitting corsets, and that corsets are
the cause of half the divorces in civ
ilized countries"
Some women are always complain
ing, always frowning and always tell
ing their neighbors that they are full
of aches. You may take it that their
troubles are due to corsets. They are
the kind of women whose husbands
seek the aid of the divorce tribunal.
l do not think it is any use talking
to woman about her soul if her corset
does not fit her.

Will INSTITUTE
HOOKWORM HUNT
ABOUT AMERICUS
DIRECTION OF AN EXPERT
Examination Of Patients Here
viii be Free

Americas and all of Sumter county
will be made the scene shortly of the
most extensive hookworm hunt yet
which is devoting a great deal of time
and money to the elimination of this
disease; insidious, dangerous and
widespread in it's scope. Hundreds
here are thus afflicted, and yet are not
aware OF the fact that they are Juggling
about with them daily uncounted ham
dreds of hookWorms.
The national government, as stat
ed, is behind the movement to chase o
has lair and capture the hookworm,
and to that end has sent DR.. C. R.
Henry to Americas to look over the
field.
DR., Henry is a native Georgian and
an expert in his profession. He ar
rived here yesterday from Hawkins
Vile, where he has just driven the
worms from Pulaski county. DR.. Henry
has also tackled the hookworm prob
lem in Crisp, Dooly and other south
Georgia counties, and expects to ex-
tend the work to Sumter by March
1st Dr. Henry rather thinks this sec
ton will prove a prolific field for the
hunt after the worms.
There is absolutely no charge for the
examination and treatment, as the
work is done under direction of the
government, which will defray all ex-
penses connected Herewith.
DR.. Henry stated yesterday that in
some south Georgia counties he has
found hundreds of people afflicted with
hookworm, and yet were not aware of
the fact. Those most afflicted with
the disease are school children, many
Of whom go barefoot the greater por-
ton of the summer and fall season.
Grown persons are also among the
hookworm victums, and the disease if
allowed to run any great lentgh of
time, very often results seriously.
When he comes to Sumter, Or. Hen
ry will receive visitors in half dozen
localities, thus rendering the work of
examination more convenient for them.
All corners will be examined at gov
ernmental expense, and several thou
sand people here will thus be afforded
relief.
