 7HHE steady growth of wealth in
 the south during the last two
 S decades, and particularly during the last two years. is evidenced in re- cent reports of John Skelton Williams, Controller of the Currency, and of southern bankers and banking journals. With cotton, tobacco, lumber, fruits, vegetables, and other commodities principally grown in the south Jumping to the highest prices ever known, un- exampled prosperity has come to the people of this section and unparalleled bank deposits have been recorded.
 New York city, heretofore the heart of the banking business of the coun- try and the place to which all business has had to go whenever any transac- tions of considerable size were to be financed, no longer controls the money market Capital is now widely dis tributed over the country. The banks of the south have their share.
 Twenty years ago the banks of the south held F per cent or the totai money resources of the United States. Today that proportion has more than doubled. While Is per cent does not of itself seem to be very large pro- portion of the wealth of the country, one must remember that this section has been running in competition with the rich eastern centers and the fabu- lously wealthy Pacific coast, and has

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
A Practical Lesson


 Could the voters of Alabama have taken the trip from Birmingham t0 Tuscaloosa last Friday there would have been no doubt in the mind O. any thinking person but that the good roads appropriation would have re- ceived their support to a man." said Frank c. Hogan after his return Sat urday afternoon.
 "Only four trucks out of g entries. comprising practically all of the lead ing trucks on the market, made the complete trip without assistance. Mud was so deep in two places that the trucks sank down to where the chassis was embedded in the road In one place it was necessary to take axes and clear out a road through the woods; in another meant trip up the uncovered ties of a railroad track, while still others called for jumping ditches and few other acrobatic feats.
 Tt was trip that will long be re- membered by all who took part in it. It not only assisted greatly in the good roads movement. but gave some valuable pointers as to the construc- tion and design of trucks best suited to the roads in their present condi- tion."

Spy's Execution Recalls
 Bombardment of Paris

r7T RAITORS, as a rule, are drab
 O personalities. An intellectual bank burglar is far above them in the criminal scale and is a more fasci- hating subject to students of warped human nature. However, the an- nouncement that the spy who di- rected the fire of the famous long, range gun with which the Germans bonlbarded Paris has been executed recalls one of the most exciting epi- sodes of the war.
 The spy was Lieutenant Funck, an Austrian. He was employed in a bank in Paris. When the Germans began their bombardment, which thrilled the whole world, but did not prevent the Parisians from attend ing to their affairs as usual, Funck kept the German artillerists informed of the points where the shells fell.
 In spite of Funck's aid, the bom- bardment was failure, morally as well as physically. It did not throw the Parisians into panic and its de- structiveness was out of all propor- tion to the time, money and effort expended on the "supergun."
 The blood of women and children slain in Paris, some of them while at their prayers, was to some extent on the head of that Austrian spy who met an ignoble end in front of fir ink squad. Even spies should be par ticular about the kind of work they do.

been able to exceed those sections in the comparative showing.
 To show further the decentralization of wealth in the eastern money centers, those sections now hold only 4sA per cent of the country's resources; twenty years ago they held 60 per cent. The difference has gone to the south to constantly increasing extent during re- cent years.
 Southern banking business increased approximately 21 per cent in 1919 over 1918, while the increase in New York city was only 1894 per cent, and in New England, 13,4 par cent. The increase in the entire country was 25.s per cent, the section along the south Atlantic leading with 2e.S per cent. The total amount of business done by banks of the United States in 1919 was s4l4,7so,- -' 911.116.
 Bankers attribute the increases in the south to crop diversification, growth in manufacturing and other lines of wealth production. as yell as to the unusually high prices that have prevailed now for period of two years on commodities raised in the south.
 The federal reserve system, of course, has played an important part in the distribution of money resources. Since it's organization four years ago, 1t has brought about a stabilized condition of finance which reduces to a minimum chances of a panic. This distribution has resulted in untold benefit to the business interests of the south, along with other sections outside tie money centers.
