Hoboes Headed South
Drift Into Atlanta

ATLANTA, Feb. 4. - Railroad
men running into and out of Atlanta
report steadily increasing number
of "bums" riding "the blinds" and
nearly all of them are headed South.
Police court records as we'll as ocular
evidence of "pan-handlers" selling
all kinds of trinkets and so forth
on the streets bear out the state
ment.
These "bums" drift into Atlanta,
hang around for day or two, or per-
haps week, then take to the blinds
again. as is their immemorial custom.
They are very adept, too, in lodging
inquisitive policemen, and to the
kind-hearted housewife they tell
tales of wondrous hard luck, en-
bacing everything fro mfortunes lost
in oil speculation to the hard-heart-
ed stepfather who drove them from
home.
But-they will not be interview
ed! They positively will not talk for
publication. This seems to be one
of the unwritten laws of their clan.
Reporters who hang around police
headquarters try with every art
known to their craft to make these
knights of the road tell of their trav-
els, but in vain.

futures have broken severely il the
Bolsa de Commercial here during the

ment with a surplus for expectation

tons of wheat, and that this country

The de :i5ion of the Chicago roari

of the bolsa as equivalent to an "os-
trich hiding his head in the sand"
Figures were cited in this connection
to prove that the recent fall in prices
both here and in Chicago, was in
obedience to economic laws.

It is the evidence that a trustee

which if foreclosed would be suf-

"The working out Of this system Of
farm credit, as we'll as the solution
