ATLANTIANS WILL

Big Spread is Planned for
Valentine Day

Atlanta, Jan. 30.-The most elabor-
ate banquet which has ever been given
in Atlanta-and Atlanta has had some
banquets-wiIl be held at the Capital
City Club on st. Valentines Day, Feb
ruary 14th, to entertain the three
members of the regional bank organ
ization committee, who are coming to
Atlanta to consider this city's qualid-
cations for a regional bank.
Secretarys McAdoo and Houston and
Comptroller Williams have accepted
the invitation. But they will not be
Atlanta's only guests on this brilliant
occasion. Atlantas competitors will
also be entertained at the brilliant
board. The claims of Birmingham
Columbia, Jacksonville Savannah and
Charleston, will be heard in Atlanta at
the same time those of this city are
put forward, and several of the leaders
of the delegations from each of these
cities will be invited to the banquet
The regional bank situation is tax
ing on more favorable aspect each
day in the estimation Of tbo Iaadino
Atlanta financiers. They declare that
there is practically no doubt that the
argument will prevail that the south
east should have a regional bank of
its own and in the light of that fact il
is felt that Atlanta will necessarily be

New Orleans, Jan. 30.-J. T. NJ.
Burnside, wealthy, who is suing his
wife for divorce in Gulfport, Miss,
must have taken a supply of insiduous
New Orleans beverages back with him
to the Gulf Coast after their visit here
two weeks ago. Mrs Burnside was
formerly Miss Stella Potter, a belle o.
Louisville society and a member OF
one Of Kentnucky's most prominent
families.
Burnside charges in his suit that his
wife was hopelessly addicted to the use
Of cocktails and ighballs-also, that
she treated him with inhuman cruelty
when she had been enjoying herself
too well. He alleged that Mrs. Burnside
would strike him with her fist or any
thing she could get hold Of when she
was intoxicated.
The Burnsides spent several days in
New Orleans living in a $1O-a-day suit
at the Grunewald On opera night they
had a box and the next evening went
to the Tulane Theater. They seemed to
know no one here and were apparently
devoted to each other.
While employees of the Grunewall
can't remember ever seeing Mrs
Burnside turn her wine glass upside

During the trial of V. H. Davis for
the murder of his wife this morning,

down Con the table,, they are also
positive that Burnside was no total alb
stainer. The two were always togeth-
err and the electric lights in The Cave
were constantly lodging their popping
champagne corks.
Both returned to Gulfport, where,
until the suit was filed, everyone
thought them ideals matched.
Burnside is about 40 years of age
His wife about 80. They came to Gulf
port early in December, and are still
stopping at the Great Southern hotel.
Mrs. Burnside is confined to her room
as a result of the suit and physicians
are attending her.
Mrs. Burnside's first marriage was
to A. G. Langham, in Louisville, IL
years ago. The groom was one of the
most successful insurance men in the
South, which in conjecture with the
social position of Miss Potter made the
wedding a social event On July 4,
1906, Langham was killed when a can
non cracker exploded in his hand. The
widow married Burnside in Jersey
City on Dec. IA, 1911.
Both have unlimited. wealth, and
have spent all their time since in trav-
cling and pleasure hunting.

Within the past few days DR.. Dowl-

made against persons who term them
selves "eye-specialists." A lady living
near Shreveport, La, whose name Dr.

is suffering from eye trouble. The
mother wrote that an alleged "eya-

the gold-rimmed glasses and took the
money.
This lady went to an optician sew

glasses. He said that the glasses
were ordinary $3.50 glasses.
In another letter received from a
