"A sunshine interview is easy to
give when Atlanta is the theme" said
Mr.. Moore AT that. my ideas of
what Atlanta really is may be lii
tie larger than those commonly ac-
oepted
ITO my mind, Atlanta's commercial
scope and influence include, To all
practical intents and purposes, the
territory within 4 radius Of 50 miles.
That really is Atlanta. The people
living within that radius turn nat
urally TO Atlanta for their big bust
ness. The merchants within that ra 3
6ius buy from Atlanta wholesalers and
manufacturers In effect that 60
mile radius is Atlanta.
Population Really 100000.
In that territory live 100000 per-
sons And they 10 my mind. make
up Atlanta's present population. and
give corresponding promise for At
lanta's future.
In a way. regret to leave the
presidency 81 the Chamber Of Com
merce, though from no idea that it's
destlnes will not reach their fullest
possibility under the new administra-
ton. That isn't d.
But the future-the immediate flu
ture- seems to hold SO much for At
lanta and for the South, that it would
be a privilege mixed with a lot Of
hard thought and work, to carry on
the part played by the Chamber of
Commerce in Atlanta's commercial
progress"
j. X. Orr Gives Sunshine Talk.
J. X orr. chairman OF the Joint
committee on the regional bank aff@ir,
was so deeply absorbed in that topic
there being meeting scheduled for
MONDAY afternoon that his sunshine

banking hue Also IT was a rosy one.
"Of COURSE" said Mr. orr II could
say q good deal about the cheerful
prospects OF the shoe business and
they ceratinly are cheerful enough.
But right now I'm completely filled
w Win the necessity OF making tNht
organization board understand the
clear facts I'm the case that the
Southeast should be made into "A re-
giona banking district ana that At
lanta Is the only city that should he
even considered for the reserve bank
In that section
Our committee IS meeting daily
row, getting ready for the organiza-
ton board. which is to come here
February l3 and IA,
Facts and Figures Astonish.
And ! can tell you that oreaniza-
tion board win be confronted with
an array OF facts and figures that will
astonish the members. 1t astonishes
me, every time the committee meets
and a new line Of research is brought
up for consideration. Honestly, |
didn't know what a city Atlanta was
until | began digging into this thing
so the only thing TO be done is TO
show the organization board exactly
what's what"
And then tsaid Mr. Orb Atlanta
will be awarded a regional reserve
bank
Which firm belief accounts pretty
well for Mr. Orr's sunshny view of
the shoe business. and business in
general and Atlanta in particular.

Government Report Shows That
Big Wire Monopoly Gains Over

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Pre-
liminary figures Of the forthcoming.

by Director w. ]. Harris Of the Bur-
eau Of the Census, Department Of

phones reported for all systems in the
United States that were in operation
j., all or any part Of those years. They
do not include private telephone lines
used exclusively for communication
between different departments Of the
same establishment.
During the year 1912 the length Of
wire used on the telephone lines Of
the United States amounted to TO-
248,826 miles. This represents gain
Of 1,347,S75 miles during the decade,

were 8,929,592 telephones in use, or
6,35S,54S more than the number re-
ported for 1902, an increase of 1852
