Big Atlanta Bank Plans
To Enlarge Skyscraper

ATLANTA, March, 22.-With the
purchase by the Fourth National Bank
of eighteen feet four and one-half in
ches, adjoining its building on Mar;et-
taStreet from the Crumley estate for
100000, record breaking price for
central Atlanta real estate---it is the
purpose of the bank, according to an
nouncement just made, subsequently
to use the newly acquired property
for the expansion of its banking house
to meet requirements.
The subsequent expansion of the
Fourth National to cover the add;t-
Dnal property it has acquired will con-
vert practically all of the south side OF
Peachtree and Broad street, into bank
ing houses, so that, it will, in fact
become Atlanta bank block, and the
financial center of the city both in
name and in fact.
The continued growth of the bank
now recognized as one of the South's
largest financial institutions, has made
it necessary to enlarge its quarters
from time to time, and only recently
the Fourth remoddled the lower floors
of the big office building it occupies al
Five Points," taking in as a part oi
its establishment three additional
floors
The price of 100000 paid by the
bank for the property makes the pei
front foot price over $1,000, which
considering its ITO foot depth, is one
of the highest ever paid in Atlanta for
central reality.

NO LESS AUTOMOBILES
RUNNING IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, March, 22.-Georgia's
revenue from its automobile license
tax will probably equal the same in
come of 1920, Secretary of State Nc
Lendon has announced. Mr.. McLen-
don was quoted as stating that the
revenue from this source would be
20 per cent less at the end of the year
than in 1920.
The secretary stated that he inten-
ded to give the impression that the in
come to date was twenty per cent tless
than last years collections.

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE
SIRlKE-Macon County News

49, Dla you ever stop and think
that the more wage earners oct
the better for the merchants and
business men?
Practically every nickle a wage
Garner draws is put right back
into circulation, going to the
merchant and business and nro
fesslonal men. Take the striking
[aiiroad men who patronize
Oglethorpe merchants--and there
are quite a bunch of them too
When they get their pay checks
every merchant in town knows
1t, and gets part of it.
Is it wrong for the wage earn
ers to organize, as some folks
seem to think
Did you know there was an
organization called "The Associ-
alton of Railway Executives?"
Did you know the bankers are
all organized?
Did you know that the doctors
are all organized
That the wholesalers are or
ganized?
That in most towns the retail
ers are organized?
Why cannot the wage earners
do the same?
AS to the cutting of wages and
lowering of living costs: Will
banks lend you money cheaper
now than two years ago?
Have the doctors cut their
prices?
Have any professional men
cut their prices?
DO the lawyers work any
cheaper?
How much has house rent
come down?
Can you buy drugs any cheap
er?
Freight rates have gone up
about 90 per cent and passenger
rates about 40 per cent, and still
the cry is "cut the price of labor"
II the price of labor is to come
down, then in the name of com
mon fairness, everything else
should come down in proportion;
it is certainly not fair to make
labor the goat for all the profit
eering that has been and still is
giong on.
In fact, mighty few commodi-
ties have come down, so why
pick on the laboring man, and
try to force him to do enough
cutting for everybody?
Unless the wage Garner earns
decent salary, how can be buy
the farmers products?
Think over these things and
see if you can blame the wage
Garner for kicking-if labor is to
come down then let everything
else come down also.
There are two sides to all
questions; be fair to the laboring
people and give their side fair
deal.
We submit if there is a good
reason for business and profes-
sional men to organize, then it
is good for the laborer to do
likewise. They organize for the
same purpose-self protection.
Did you know there are over
thirty union men in Oglethorpe,
who spend every nickle they
make with the merchants here?
Have you ever stopped to think
I, that the more these men make
the more they spend right here?

Hold On Savings
Has Halted Trade
Leader News Bureau
4th National Bank Bldg.

4th National Bank Bldg.
ATLANTA, March, 22.--That the
business depression through which the
South and the country generally has
been passing for several years is but
a Temporary affair, not justified by
lack of financial strength, is the state
nient made here by bankers who have
received reports from all sections of
the country.
The figures given out show that
saving bank deposits throughout the
United States for last year eclipsed all
previous records.
Conditions prevailing throughout the
rest OF the country unquestionably pre-
vail in the South, according to reports
received here Southern banks show
heavy deposits of savings.
There can be no long period of fl
nancial or business depression with
savings of the people mounting into
the billions and exceeding in volume
any previous year, it is pointed out by
Atlanta bankers. 1t is shown that
there is an abundance of money in the
country, and the only reason that
money has been tight is because the
funds saved by the people were not
disturbed by item.
There is an indication Of caution
and frugality wnicn ultimately wiil be
to the benifit of the individual sad
one Atlanta banker. Business suf-
fers because the savings are not spent,
but if the avings had been spent, the
people would not be in the substantial
financial condition that they are now"
Atlanta bankers declare that it is a
fine thing and an assurance OF con!in-
ued prosperity that the people of this
country arc saving heir money.

The Daily Leader
---has been published for the last
ten days to best serve the public
interest of Fitzgerald.
The Daily Leader was not ex-
pected by its publishers to be
money maker but they do not con-
slider themselves obligated to con-
tinue to lose money with it for any
length of time.
The circulation of the Daily
Leader has grown rapidly, but the
subscription lists have been so ar
ranged that the paper can be dis
continued at any time on one
weeks notice.
If the business people of Fitz-
gerald want to give their custom
ers local daily newspaper, they
should concentrate their advertising
in the local daily newspaper in
order to enable it to live.
Every dollar that is spent with
the Leader Publishing Company, in
advertising or Job Printing, helps
to insure the permanence of the
Fitzgerald daily paper.
Daily Leader advertising is
read by all classes of people
in Fitzgerald. 1t is good advertis-
ing. And the advertising receipts
are what make the paper possible.
Subscription receipts pay approx
mately only one-fourth of its cost.

MATTER OF PREPARATIONS BY

REPORTS FROM EXPERTS
PremIers Considering Whether II is
Advisable to Have Hun Repre-
sentatlves Meet With Council.

Paris.-The supreme council, com.
posed Of representatives of Great
Britain, France, italy, Belgium and
japan, heard the military experts
and later conferred together regard
ing the failure Of Germany to disarm
as provided Tor by the treaty Of Yer
sailles. The experts were asked to
make a detailed report on the sub
ject, with recommendations regard
ing measures to insure execution Of
the disarmament clauses Of the
treaty.
The council will, contrary to ex.
pectation, take up the situation OF
Austria, instead OF reparations.
The British premier, Lloyd George,
and the president of the French coun.
Gil, Aristide BRAND, it is understood,
desire an opportunity to talk over
the different phases of the repara.
lions question before the subject
comes up for discussion at the full
councils program.
In this connection the premiers
are said to be considering whether
It is feasible and advisable to have
the German representatives sit with
the council before the final decision
on reparations is taken. :
