RESIDENTS LOOKING
FOR WOUNDED BURGLAR

Atlanta, Jan. 15-People in the
Forrest Avenue neighborhood are
searching cellars. yards and outhouses
for a wounded burglar who was shot
full of holes last night and who left a
trail of blood behind him. 1t is believ-
er that he has crawled into some de-
serted nook to die, if indeed he is not
already dead.
He was caught robbing the drygoods
store at 127 Forrest avenue, by two
bicycle officers who happened to BE-
passing. AS he started to run they
opened fire. With scream the negro
fell, got up started to run again, and
again fell to his knees, while the pis~
tolls kept on splitting fire and lead
Then the negro lodged into a dark
alley and completely disappeared.

WOULD AMMEND SYSTEM
OF RURAL CREDITS
BANKERS AND DEALERS IN FARM
SUPPLIES PLAN TO RELIEVE FL
NANCIAL STRAIN DURING FALL
MONTHS
MONTHS

Atlanta Ca, Jan. 15.-Prominent
bankers, fertilizer dealers and COM
mission merchants in every part OF
Georgia have been approached by the
Georgia chamber of commerce, in an
effort to ascertain the feasibility Of
changing the system OF rural credits
now in vogue in the state, whereby the
debts of the farmers of the state, in
stead of maturing, as they do now, at
the cotton picking season, could be so
arranged as to fall due in equal parts
III September, January and April.
Could such a system be worked out
it is thought that the present depres-
sion in the price of cotton caused by
the necessity OF throwing great guam
titles of cotton on the market at pick
ing time, could be largely avoided. I'm
der the proposed system, the farmer
who now has to market practically his
whole crop at picking time, could hold
the larger part of it for better prices,
To ascertain the attitude of the men
who extend the largest amount Of cred
it to the farmers of the state, the state
chamber has accordingly sent out 500
letters to bankers, fertilizer men AMI
commission merchants, asking that
they answer the following questions:
~ Would it be practicable for the
bankers, fertilizer dealers, supply mer
chants and others who give credit 20
the farmer, to jointly agree as fol-
lows: To have notes, taken in pay
ment, mature in three equal portions
at different, dates, say. one-third in De-
tober, one-third in January and one
third in. April?
(2) To adjust, as far as possible,
their own financial arrangements to
conform to the foregoing plan of ex-
tended credits that it might work no
hardship to those making loans and
advancing supplies?
49, Do you think such a system
could be established, and, if so, would
it tend to strengthen the cotton mar
ket by giving the growers a greater
range of time in which to sell?
The Georgia chamber Of commerce
hopes to get concensus of opinion
from those actually engaged in the
matter of extending rural credits, in
order that the feasibility Of a read
justment of the present system of
credits ON this basis, may be ascer-
tanned.

Paying Retired Omcers.

The Comptroller OF the Treasury has ap-
proved the plan suggested by the Chief
of the Quartermaster Corps of the army
for paying retired officers Of the army.
1t has been arranged that these officers
shall be paid by check sent through the
mail from Washington. Retired officers
who are on duty in the Philippines will
be paid from Manila, and those on duty
in Hawaii will be paid from Honolulu.
Retired officers who are on active duty
will be paid as are officers Of the active
list by the quartermasters at the disburs-
ing points. All other retired officers, in
Guiding those sojourning in Europe and
in other foreign parts. will be paid by
check, the new system going into effect
with the payment Of April 30. OF course.
officers must notify the War Department
OF any change of address, but this i'm
poses no additional responsibility on the
individuals most directly concerned, since
there Is such a requirement now in force.
II is believed that the system will result
in the saving Of much time and labor
